My aunt's old camcorder tape from 1997 is just 20 minutes of a cat staring at a wall

Found it in a box labeled 'Family Reunion' at her house in Phoenix. The cat's name was Muffin, and you can hear my uncle in the background saying 'I think the camera's on' about fifteen times. It's so boring it's actually kind of amazing. Has anyone else found footage that's just weirdly, perfectly pointless?

lmao that's the best kind of family history. What did Muffin know that we don't? My dad has a whole VHS like that but it's just his foot. He filmed his own foot for like half an hour from the couch, you can hear the tv playing the news. He says he was testing the zoom but forgot to stop recording. It's weirdly peaceful to watch now.

Honestly those old tapes sound boring to me. My uncle had a box of them and it was just hours of bad camera work and static. Rivera.henry, your dad's foot film would put me to sleep in a bad way. I'd rather have a clear photo than a blurry hour of nothing.
