The results are in and we're sure there must have been a miscount: there are no cat videos in YouTube's 10 most viral videos of 2013. None. Not even a whisker.
Another notable trait of this year's top 10 is the significant time and professionalism that's gone into making them: these aren't homemade moments of the You've Been Framed variety, but slick productions that have taken more than a couple of minutes to throw together.
You've undoubtedly already seen them, but here's the full list. Consider your lunch hour well and truly killed.

8. "Telekinetic Coffee Shop Surprise" by CarrieNYC
