James Corballis with his cat Furby who has become a big hit on YouTube.

 

Update, March 23, 2012: James Corballis’ video from last November 30, with his kitten Furby mixing a Bob Marley record and then hopping up on the Technics the turntable for a ride, has the distinction of being Ireland’s most viral video to date, with the most rapidly rising view count. The video, which is now nearing 2.7 million views, was watched over one million times in 72 hours, and was viewed two million times in just six days.

“I was in my apartment listening to Bob Marley when I saw my little kitten, Furby, run over to it. I filmed it and uploaded it and it just went crazy. It absolutely wasn’t set-up,” James is quoted saying in the Galway City Tribune yesterday. The sound engineer shot the video on his phone as he prepared to head out to work on November 30.
