Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

From the guys who brought you the pony bouncing along the Scottish coast comes a new video celebrating internet silliness.

Mobile phone company Three today released Sing It Kitty, a 60 second clip featuring an eight-year-old girl and her kitten miming ‘ 80s band Starship’s ‘We Built This City’ anthem pedalling a pink tricycle through a suburban cul-de-sac.

Producers of the video hope they might have another hit on their hands after last year’s Dance Pony Dance, featuring a small Shetland pony showing off his moonwalking skills to Fleetwood Mac’s Everywhere, accumulated 8.3 million YouTube views.

London advertising agency Wieden & Kennedy, who created Sing It Kitty and Dance Pony Dance last year, are banking on the British public’s obsession with cats.

Finally, the stats also revealed around 350,000 people in the UK have social media accounts set up for their cats, although why is another question entirely.

You can create your own version of the ‘epic and emotion-filled journey’ (according to the press release) here by pasting you and your friends faces into the video and then watching them bob through the air. Tweet the results using the hashtag #SingItKitty.
