Kitten’s meow sounds like a goat

Cats have long ruled the Internet, in videos, memes and with a few elevated to stardom. Lately, however, goats have encroached upon their cute territory. This kitten is fighting back.

Last month, a video of goats yelling like humans circulated the web, teaching the Internet to share their affection for a new kind of four-legged animal. Then, suddenly, Taylor Swift was goatified, along with many other musicians, and baby goats started yelling their way into the Internet's collective heart.

Wired magazine editor Nate Lanxon declared this the year of the goat.

Not to be outdone, Pickles the cat has decided that kittens can be goats too.

When Pickles tries to meow at the camera, the result is a quivering sound similar to a goat bleating.

Chattering is a common reaction among cats who spot prey, such as a bird outside the window. However, it sounds like Pickles is doing more than chattering at birds.

One commenter on YouTube suggested Pickles must have a bad alternator, because he can't seem to get his meow motor running. Another said this is probably cat Morse code. I've no doubt Pickles' bleating is code for what everyone is thinking.

"I'm cuter than a goat."
