"YouTube's automated takedown tool is known for its flaws, but this week
it crossed a line by attacking a purring cat. According to YouTube's
Content-ID system both EMI Publishing and PRS own the rights to a 12
second purring loop. The cat in question, Phantom, has filed a dispute
and hopes to reclaim his rights."

The whole "Content ID" system is a complete joke.  Via Jon Swabey.
