Thou shalt play him off, Keyboard Cat

From that's how it happened, which also offers a great analysis of Keyboard Cat, an analysis I have reproduced below for your reading pleasure:

I like the keyboard cat videos where they show the cat briefly before tragedy arrives. It sort of changes the whole meaning behind the keyboard cat videos. Instead of just celebrating human tragedy it seems as though the keyboard cat anticipates it, like he’s this omniscient trickster just looking on, aloof and smug, as people wander unwittingly towards misfortune. It’s as though all of life that came prior to an accident was just an elaborate trap, bait meant to draw fools towards an accident and humiliation and having finally caught his prey the keyboard cat celebrates joyously. Aha! we think, so that’s the trick, fortune and misfortune are all the same in the end, distinguished only by whether it is happening to us or to another, and by whether we can hear the song of the keyboard cat, pounding out a tune looking down on us, the fools below.
