Watch a Kitten Go Crazy Over an Ice Ball

Summer is here, and it’s important to keep yourself and your kitty hydrated. But have you ever tried experimenting with an ice ball? Check out a new viral video that helpfully explains how, “10 cats licked spherical balls of ice and enjoyed the cooling.”

The ice ball in question is created by filling a balloon with water.

The newly created ice ball is then set in a glass baking dish on the floor. The cats are unleashed.

The clowder enjoys the cool toy with much glee and enthusiasm, with some felines taking the refined approach of dipping their paws into the water and licking the liquid off them.

One tiny kitten becomes totally obsessed with this new frosty plaything. Equal parts hilarity and cuteness overload ensues when eyes are added to the ice ball to turn it into a face.

Our kitten hero naturally delights in dismantling the icy visage.
