History WebVideo / KittenAcademy

* OlderThanTheyLook: One of the momcats, Roux, was small and dainty enough to have easily passed for a kitten herself(she was estimated to be less than a year old when she arrived, so she was technically a kitten).

The Kitten Academy is a kitten-fostering organization run by a couple in Illinois. Chris ([[FanNickname Mister Academy]]) and Deepa ([[OnlyKnownByInitials DJ]]) Jansen are [[KindHeartedCatLover Kind Hearted Cat Lovers]] who've turned two rooms in their house into "classrooms" for kittens to [[BuffySpeak learn how to cat]]. They host a YouTube livestream that runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in both rooms. Saturdays at 10 am [[IncrediblyLamePun KATZ]] (Kitten Academy Time Zone, that is, Central Time) they host a special Mailbag where they open up letters and gifts sent to the kittens by their dedicated fans.

* FakePregnancy: In late 2017, the KittenAcademy had a rash of supposed "momcats" who turned out to not be pregnant at all. One (Filbert) was actually male, while Cashew and Quiche were just pudgy. Yet another one never even made it onto the livestream before the ruse was discovered. KA fans went along with the fun, and claimed that the Academy was [[CrowningMomentOfFunny so much fun that cats were faking pregnancies to get in]].
