Depressed Cat Videos

The 'Henri 2: Paw de Deux' Short is Cute

— April 22, 2012 — Pop Culture
The 'Henri 2: Paw de Deux' film is a cute look at a depressed feline's daily life.

Meet Henri: the cat who refuses to accept life for what it is. Henri, being French, analyzes his very existence, morosely lounging around his home, and experiencing his "ennui," also known as French blues. This video is an alternative to the more modern cat memes depicting felines in happy-go-lucky roles, as Henri brings out the dull side of life.

Henri's interpretation of his owners intentions, his own views on life and his peers being morons is also slightly comical. Spoken in french, with some classic depressing music marking the mood, this video follows Henri's harrowing tale. His life experiences and his learnings from his moody existence offer new insights into what your cat might actually be thinking.
