AOL is asking readers to send in funny videos of cats that are adorable, hilarious, crazy smart or just plain a little crazy. The call is part of its continuing hunt for the Cutest Cat in Delaware, and the point is simple: show off the kitty antics that make one cat impossible to ignore.
The request is live now, and readers can use the link AOL provided to submit a video. That is the part many cat owners will care about today, because the invitation is open while the search is still going on, not after the fact. This is a chance for a pet to be judged less on pedigree than on personality, whether that means a clever trick, an odd habit or a scene that makes someone laugh out loud.
AOL said it wants to have fun seeing what readers’ cats can do, and it also pointed people to a story about Dude, a late Delaware cat who went viral and later got a bronze statue. That reference gives the effort its shape: this is not just a casual photo contest, but another round in an ongoing local fascination with cats that leave a mark beyond the living room floor.
The submission form may be a little long, but AOL said that helps keep everything together. That matters because the request is doing more than collecting clips; it is trying to organize entries into one place while leaving room for the unpredictable things cats do best. The tradeoff is clear enough for anyone deciding whether to enter: a few extra minutes up front in exchange for a shot at seeing a pet become part of the feature.
AOL also linked readers to a story about the star of My Cat from Hell sharing secrets soon in Delaware, another sign that the cat beat is not just about cute footage. The wider thread is simple. Cat stories keep pulling readers in because they can be funny, strange and unexpectedly specific at the same time, and this latest call gives them a direct way to take part instead of just watching from the sidelines.
The only thing AOL has not spelled out is the exact selection test behind Cutest Cat in Delaware. For now, the opening is straightforward: send the video, make the case with the cat’s behavior, and let the clips speak for themselves.
