A dogged French journalist has uncovered the secrets behind the 17-second viral video "Surprised Kitty," which has hit 7 million views in two weeks.

Reporting on LePost.fr, Aude Baron says the world's cutest kitten is a female named Attila (as in The Hun, because she is fierce) Fluff (because she is cute).

She belongs to a friend of a teenager named Rosa, 15, who shot the video one day when her friend and the kitten were visiting. All this comes from Rosa's mother, Jude, because Rosa is too busy answering the flood of emails that come with her new celebrity status as the Frank Capra of cat videos.

Rosa B. has her own video channel on YouTube called rozzzafly'sChannel, where the video was first posted.

Attila is between six and 10 weeks old in the video, where she captivated the world by throwing out all four paws each time on cue at the end of "koochie, koochie koo."

Baron predicts Attila will dethrone both the "keyboard cat" and the "ninja cat" on the Web, and even Nora the piano-playing feline.

What is the Attila Fluff like? Jude tells Baron the kitty is independent, aggressive and also known by the nickname "terrorist," but can also be just a big ball of fur.
