Background
The "Cat in a Blender" video is a controversial viral video that gained notoriety in the early 2000s. According to reports from news source Diffudle, the video was originally posted online during this time, and later uploaded to YouTube in 2005. Despite the video's widespread notoriety, the origins of its creation remain shrouded in mystery, with no clear indication of who was responsible for its creation. There are, however, some sources that suggest that the video may have been created as a joke by a group of college students who were seeking to entertain and shock their friends. Regardless of its origins, the video quickly went viral and gained a following online, despite its controversial and disturbing content. The video raises numerous ethical questions regarding the treatment of animals and the responsibilities of content creators. Many viewers were outraged by the video and saw it as a clear case of animal cruelty.[1][2]
Since the release of the "Cat in the Blender" video, questions have been raised about its authenticity. There are some who believe that the video is a fake, created using computer-generated imagery or other special effects. Others have claimed that the video constitutes animal abuse, and that a real cat was harmed in its making. In 2007, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) conducted an investigation into the video's authenticity. The investigation ultimately determined that the video was likely fake, and that no real cat had been harmed in the making of the video. Among the evidence cited in support of this conclusion was the fact that the cat's movements did not match up with the audio in the video, and that the cat appeared to have been created using computer animation techniques.[1]
Users on Twitter began posting tweets about their reactions to the video as early as May 2, 2023. A twitter account had posted the full video that day but was since removed by the moderation team.[3]
Speculation
Several users on social media attempted to identify the individual responsible for the "Cat in the Blender" video. In one instance, a user shared a screenshot of the blender with Chinese writing on it and asked others to translate it. The characters reportedly read "Health Sensitive Extraction Machine." Some users also shared a possible location where the video was filmed. On May 3, several social media users claimed that the perpetrator behind the video was arrested, but it has been difficult to confirm whether the individual was indeed responsible for the crime. According to some TikTokers, the person arrested was Xu Zhihui (徐志辉),[4][5] a food blogger and vlogger from China's Anhui province who is reportedly popular on social media platforms like Bilibili and Weibo. However, it is unclear whether Xu was arrested specifically for animal cruelty, as killing cats is not currently illegal in China. It is believed that he was arrested for sharing inappropriate content online, including a video containing cat abuse. After Xu's arrest, his accomplices reportedly threatened to hold a mass livestream event where they would torture more cats to death, which shocked many people online. The incident raised concerns about animal welfare and the responsibility of content creators to promote ethical behavior.[6]
Sequel
It was reported that a second video related to the "cat in a blender" incident surfaced online on May 8, causing widespread outrage and prompting renewed efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice. The video was initially shared on Twitter by a user identified as @scarycontent18, who sought to raise awareness of the ongoing animal abuse and help identify the individuals involved. The same video was also posted by a now-suspended Twitter account, @DefyXD24, before being removed for violating the platform's terms of service. According to reports, the second video was even more disturbing than the first, and depicted a group of animal abusers in China torturing and killing cats in a blender.[6]
The release of the second video sparked renewed outrage and concern among animal rights activists, who feared that the perpetrators were planning further acts of violence. Some social media users shared rumors of a planned livestream event in which more animals would be tortured and killed, but these claims could not be independently verified. The original "cat in a blender" video had already generated controversy and criticism, with many calling for the individuals responsible to be held accountable for their actions. Despite efforts to identify and locate the perpetrators, it is unclear if anyone has been arrested or charged in connection with the incidents.[6]
