Kittens. by [Anita Hamilton](https://time.com/author/anita-hamilton/) ## Anita Hamilton Jun 6, 2014 2:58 PM UTC by [Anita Hamilton](https://time.com/author/anita-hamilton/) ## Anita Hamilton Jun 6, 2014 2:58 PM UTC Think your cat’s pretty fly? Chances are it’s got nothing on Daisy and Tulip, the head-bobbing duo that’s mesmerizing YouTubers with their amazing rhythm. In the video gone viral, the two cats sit calmly on a blanket while their heads bop in perfect unison to DJ Snake and Lil Jon’s funky club hit “[Turn Down for What?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMUDVMiITOU)“. Captivated audiences are guessing that the kitties are simply following the movements of some kind of [laser pointer](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/05/kittens-dance-turn-down-for-what%5Fn%5F5455215.html) outside the frame. Whatever the trick, it’s awesome. We’re willing to go out on a limb here and bet their performance will usher in a wave of copy cats. If you want to keep the original duo for yourself, Daisy and Tulip are currently up for adoption at the [Animal Welfare League of Arlington](http://www.awla.org/), Virginia. Turns out the cats learned their tricks while being fostered by Hayley Markham and Andrew Kerr, who have since returned them to the shelter. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2837414/turn-down-for-what-kittens/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2837414/turn-down-for-what-kittens/"},"headline":"Turn Down for What?
