When I read the headline to this story, I didn't think much about it. Then I went back and read the story and saw the video. THIS is a TRIP! This looks like something from a movie!

We all love animals videos, and studies show they can help us reduce stress and anxiety. Not sure this video counts.

A high tech billboard in Tokyo is playing the 3D image of a giant cat moving around and meowing for 18 hours a day. The massive billboard is a 1,664-square-foot curved LED screen sitting on top of a building.

It shows a high-definition, 3D video of the cat walking around, napping and meowing from 7 a.m. until 1 a.m. each day. The cat is meant to draw attention to the new tech, called Cross Shinjuku Vision. About 190-thousand people go past it every day. Obviously it's getting a lot of attention as folks stop and take pictures of the huge cat.

If I saw this in person it might totally freak me out. It's wild!
