After their demo was rejected by every label in New York, all kitten pop music group ‘Meow 5′ took to social media to try to find an audience. And it’s worked.

The group gained attention earlier this summer when their YouTube covers of The Cure’s “The Love Cats,” and “Cat’s in the Cradle,” by Harry Chapin were posted to Reddit’s r/CatMusic community. The tracks have together attracted over 2.5 million views.

Now the group has been invited to perform at the Life is Beautiful festival in Las Vegas this weekend – somewhat hilariously, they’ll be taking the stage immediately before Snoop Dogg.

“It’s been a whirlwind,” says the group’s manager, Anna-Marie Castro, who has been with the kittens since they were born to her cat, Twinkles, in May. “I mean, I knew they’d do well on Instagram and Pinterest, but when I found out they could sing I had no idea what to expect. Certainly not this.”

The group is working on an album of original material, set to drop at the beginning of 2016.

It happens to the best of us. You’re in the shower, minding your own cleanliness, when that eureka moment hits, only to vanish moments later when you reach for your towel.

That’s the fate that befell Coby’s most recent shower thought. “It might have been for an invention, or a blog he was going to start,” says Macy Randolf, a source familiar with the situation. “Whatever it was, it was probably going to change the world. And then – poof. It was gone.”

Multiple reports from the scene claim Coby has been thinking about it all day long. “He’s re-tracing is steps, hoping to trigger the memory” says Arnold Koerber, Coby’s roommate and longtime friend. “He even took a second shower an hour later to try and get it back. No luck.”

Whatever it was, we’re confident in saying that the world is at a loss for never knowing it. The Fluffington Post will update this story as it develops.
