Elton the cat has become a viral superstar, celebrated all over the internet after his owner uploaded a hilarious video of his annoying auto-tuned meows.
Joaquin Baldwin, a feature animation artist who works for Disney, captured Elton meowing in bed, in the bathroom, and all over his house. For the auto-tune effect, he used an iOS app called Voloco. Baldwin has a large social media following, which helped the clip quickly gain notoriety and go viral.

Auto-tune may be overused in music in general, but at least now we know that it’s a goldmine with cats.
