Waxman Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Staff Writer Aug 24, 2015 9:36 PM CUT In a nearly 30-second video, watch a barefooted woman try and get her six-month-old kitten to groove to a cover of One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful.” But of course, the cat being a cat, is only interested in chasing or grabbing onto the woman’s right foot, which she keeps tapping on the ground. It tries really hard though, standing up on its hind legs to throw itself onto the foot before finally giving up and running away.
