The RickRolling phenomenon is pretty much over, with very few instances of it popping up over the Web these days. Basically, once Google had used it for April Fool’s Day, it was dead.
However, while every human in the world may now have been RickRolled at least once, that still leaves every animal just crying out to be pranked in this way.
As this video shows, Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up appears to have the same effect on cats as it does on humans. Or maybe it’s just this particular cat, who is visibly getting annoyed by the infernal racket.
Brilliantly, after a couple of tepid pawing motions at the source of the noise, the cat manages to close the lid, stopping the song from playing in an instant. Cats don’t need to be vicious, as they have brains instead.
