Sexy Kate Upton Cat Daddy Dance
We are pleased to report that Kate Upton's "Cat Daddy" dance is back on YouTube after a brief ban on the suggestive viral sensation. Fist-pump! Guess Kate, and her fans, showed YouTube who its (cat) daddy is.After abruptly yanking the 2012 SI cover girl’s provocative moves on Wednesday, the video-sharing website apparently realized it was doing the male gender a downright inhumane disservice and reinstated the clip.

Thank you YouTube. And Terry Richard son, and of course, Kate.
