History WebVideo / KittenAcademy

'''IMPORTANT NOTE:''' The Kitten Academy has a "No Sads" policy, and that extends to this page. Please do not post {{Tearjerker}} tropes here. The 'Academy isn't about that.

* AccentuateTheNegative: Inverted! At the KittenAcademy, they accentuate the positive. They have a strict "No Sads" policy in that they avoid discussing the sad stories that often come with foster kittens. The kittens and momcats often have to [[EarnYourHappyEnding Earn Their Happy Endings]], and the happy bits are what matter most. Mr. A and DJ also don't want to come across as exploiting the sad stories for donations -- even going so far as do temporarily de-monetize their YouTube videos when a series of sad advertisements were added to them. The kittens and momcats have good lives at the Academy and afterwards, and that's what's the most important.

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

* 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.)

* HeroOfAnotherStory: The good folks at [[http://www.onangelswings.org/ On Angels' Wings]], the nearby animal-rescue center that handles adoptions for the Academy and provides them with new kittens and/or momcats.

** "Smols": Kittens a few weeks old who are usually kept in the main room.

* FamilyThemeNaming: Each class of kittens is given a name based on their mother's name. See the Kitten Classes page on the [[Characters/KittenAcademy Kitten Academy Characters]] page.

* FanSpeak: The fosters and fans of the KittenAcademy have a growing list of words and phrases...

* TheFaceless: Mr. Academy, when he does the mailbags on Saturday mornings. In order to keep the focus on the gifts and the kittens playing around him, we usually only see him from the mid-chest down.

* PungeonMaster: Mr. Academy, when narrating the Close Up and Mailbag videos.

* FunnyBackgroundEvent/FunnyForegroundEvent: The kittens, momcats, and Custard often get up to adorable shenanigans during the mailbag sessions.

* FakePregnancy: In late 2017, the Academy had a rash of supposed "momcats" who turned out to not be pregnant at all. One (Filbert) was actually male, while a couple others (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, claiming that the Academy was [[CrowningMomentOfFunny so much fun that cats were faking pregnancies to get in]].

* EarWorm: The Kitten Academy Mailbag {{Jingle}}. Of course, that's the whole point of a jingle, isn't it?
