The Sad Cat (or at least someone who sounds like him) is back, and this time he's dispensing advice to his kitten minions. BuzzFeed's Dear Kitten, a branded video for Friskies wet cat food, has resonated extremely well with the feline-obsessed online audience, collecting 12.1 million views (and 73,600 paws up) since it was posted on June 5. It also proves the New York-based company's NewFront message: When in doubt, always go with our cat overlords. The millennial-oriented publisher also scored a hit with If Asians Said the Stuff White People Say, which was posted on the staff curated channel BuzzFeed Yellow. Garnering upwards of 4 million views since last week, the clip pokes fun at the ridiculous stereotypical quandaries people tend to ask Asians.
