I too… hate baths.
except for that cuddle-up part at the end.

2 Tracy 01.04.06 at 4:18 am

I guess the woman involved doesn’t mind the view down her shirt featured here? ;) (Just a little added value for the male visitors…gotta do something to keep ‘em feeling manly when they’re at Cuteoverload.com)

3 M Gomez 01.04.06 at 4:20 am

HAHAHAH!!!

4 Meg 01.04.06 at 4:31 am

Should we start a “cats ‘n’ racks” category?

5 Carolyn J. 01.04.06 at 4:54 am

Having two cats, I have to say…that cat likes his bath. A cat who hated a bath could not be photographed; there would only be a black blur and blood-spattered arms.

> Should we start a “cats ‘n’ racks” category?

You know, maybe you should! Lots of cats get photographed whilst being held against racks. I’ve actually got a cleavage-cat shot (on my other computer) that would make a good addition!

7 Angela 01.04.06 at 5:45 am

I agree that the cat is one who tolerates baths. If that were my oldest cat, that rack would be scratched to hell.

Still a very cute kitty!

8 adrianna 01.04.06 at 6:20 am

this ain’t about cats, but one time i had my bunny take a bath with the water a little deeper than usual, and he had a pleasant swim for such a long time that afterwards his legs were too weak to hold him up properly when he tried to sit. we solved that problem by cuddling him up in a towel, which he was grateful for.

9 IHateToast 01.04.06 at 7:20 am

now we need to see what this cat looks like dry. … with or without the jubbly bits.

10 Pleen 01.04.06 at 9:54 am

It is interesting how the arms go from smooth to hairy and then back.

11 Pinksugar 01.04.06 at 10:29 am

>now we need to see what this cat looks like dry

I was wondering that too! I’ve never seen a cat with such gorgeous eyes before!

this cat is cuter than cute. Every time I come here, I think the photos can’t get any cuter. And then they do!

12 Louis 01.04.06 at 1:35 pm

Me scrolling through the pictures:
“awwwww”
“precious”
“SCHWING!”

13 HH 01.04.06 at 2:19 pm

Oh my god,it’s quite a gross animal when it’s all wet. Not cute.

14 Mush 01.04.06 at 3:28 pm

Cats ‘n’ racks: LOL!

15 jake 01.04.06 at 4:34 pm

Jake! Your site is hella sweet. Love the photography; the transit strike, your sister’s wedding, all of it.

And, here are even more cat photos, all in one huge archive;

17 Craig 01.04.06 at 6:50 pm

Okay, really crappy day at work. Who knew it took only one cute entry to set me back on track? And I’m not even a cat person.

18 .a 01.04.06 at 8:15 pm

ENUF!! with the bra/boob shots, please.

19 Fluffy 01.04.06 at 9:14 pm

Awwwww… poor kitty :(

I don’t think that the Rack Factor™ (such as it is) will help in his/her/its agony :(

Just how many Cats And Racks™ pictures HAVE been in this place?

/just arrived last week

20 roah 01.04.06 at 9:22 pm

Does anyone know what breed of cat Thompson is?
thanks
have a nice day
roah

21 Kimmy 01.04.06 at 11:07 pm

A persian?? I have no idea, the only cat breeds I know of are Tiger, Panther, Smashed-Nosed, fluffeh, and calico. XD

22 Campagna 01.04.06 at 11:34 pm

Is there a cat in these pics? Oh yeah…next to the…..

23 Alyson 01.04.06 at 11:39 pm

Why confine it to just cats? Why not have a “Cleavage and Critters” category?

24 Jai 01.05.06 at 1:59 am

MEOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! Woof woof! Oh… and the angry kitty is nice, too. Go girly with… nice kitty.

25 Maralyn 01.05.06 at 2:39 am

um…. no coment on the last pic…. gross stupud

26 Cairo 01.05.06 at 4:32 am

I take baths only once a week (Sunday’s).

27 Maria 01.05.06 at 2:27 pm

Poor Kitty! God, cats hate to be wet! The only exception being those with very dense coats, like Maine Coon Cats. Many’s the time when I ended up with blood streaming down my arms from an upset/panicking cat in the tub! Best avoided whenever possible!

28 belledame222 01.05.06 at 3:17 pm

Turkish Vans actually like to swim, or so I’m told.

29 Julie Deavenport 01.05.06 at 4:56 pm

Fisher Cats love the water and will sit on the edge of a tub trying to catch your toes like little fishies. I had several that would join me on the tub edge or would go to the creek to hunt crayfish and came back smelling just awfull, they even brought me presents, yuck. Cats and Racks, we women cuddle them to or bossoms, it’s just natural for us. LOL

30 AxsDeny 01.05.06 at 9:14 pm

There not a cats and racks category, but doesn’t that technically fall under two categories:

1. Cats
2. Puppies

;)

31 briana 01.05.06 at 10:41 pm

CATS SUCK OUT LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

32 hmm 01.06.06 at 8:33 am

Bra shot, rock on!

Cuteness rule…things are cuter in pairs!

It’s also good to know I’m not the only straight man that reads this blog. Unless those rack comments were all from women???

33 Alexander Zajac 01.06.06 at 9:51 am

I can just hear him say it: “Please, kill me now.”

34 deRame 01.06.06 at 12:37 pm

that cat has a pair of very adorable eyes. wow!

35 PaulG 01.06.06 at 1:52 pm

Whew, glad i’m not the only straight dude looking at this blog. Thanx for the posts, guys.

36 andrea 01.07.06 at 5:56 am

Actually it was my husband that turned me onto this blog, after it was featured on boingboing.net

37 Fee 01.07.06 at 8:30 am

TEE HEE!!! I can see down her shirt!

38 Cheesemeister and Friends 01.07.06 at 12:16 pm

The Cheesemeister says:
Cats look soooo funny when you bathe them!
Leon the Tabby says: You think that’s funny. But yet you get mad when I lick your head while you’re sleeping!
Trinity the Calico says:
Raymond would still look fat if you bathed him.
I have never had to be bathed!
Raymond the Angora Mix says:
It’s pure muscle! And if I ever have to be bathed I’m taking you in with me, Kid!
P.E. the Siamese says:
Because I have arthritis in my hips, my Human now bathes me with special moist cloths made just for us animals so she doesn’t have to wrestle with me and risk hurting me.
Isis the Tortie says:
Nobody–and I mean nobody–better EVER try and bathe me!

39 sampada 01.08.06 at 1:13 pm

awww such a cuttie!

40 Hailey R 01.10.06 at 8:36 pm

awwww so cute hopefully a man gave the kitty a bath judging by the humans arms and how they go from not hairy to gorilla arms and then back to not hairy lol (::[]::) poor kitty i dont like baths either

41 alayniekat 01.15.06 at 7:58 am

45 missile 01.21.06 at 11:11 am

beautiful girl

46 Charlotte 01.29.06 at 4:36 pm

Is there something strange about that sequence? Lady’s arm, man’s arm, back to lady? Otherwise, I know that response all too well from my male creamsicle tabby, Moody. Just say the word ‘bath’ and he tries to disappear, but after the bath while wrapped in a towel, he cuddles more than any other time.

47 Hagge 02.03.06 at 2:23 am

Cats ‘n racks? Yes please!

48 andrea 02.05.06 at 1:35 am

look at the moppy cuteness

49 Care 02.10.06 at 3:59 am

Not gonna lie, that cat is wicked scary when it’s wet.

50 Myfi the Welsh Terrier 03.04.06 at 7:50 pm

That’s mean to the cat. XD Lol

51 Jimmy 03.17.06 at 7:01 pm

Why is her arm so hairy snd man-like?

52 fa 03.17.06 at 7:08 pm

It’s a different arm. That looks a bit painful thoguth.

53 :) 04.05.06 at 7:29 am

Jake, that is a lovely photo journal of your cat Thompson! Inspired me to do one for mine too. It’ll be a very valuable gallery in the near future…

And Thompson is absolutely adorable wet! and really what a name for a cat haha.
I would beam so proudly too if my ‘baby’ was spotlighted in CO :)

and I’m glad your wife has a sense of humor.

Yea to cuteness!

54 soul 04.19.06 at 7:05 pm

i noticed the hairy human arm immediately.
was there a full moon?
My cat hates soakings but after all is done his demeanor radically changes and he believes he’s Gods gift to world.

55 Theo 04.20.06 at 7:40 pm

To the hairy-arm obsessives: Ever bathed a cat? It’s not a one-person job. THAT’S NOT HER ARM.

56 bob 05.08.06 at 11:00 pm

nice boob’s sexy!

57 Giorgia 06.10.06 at 12:44 am

LUCKY LUCKY CAT *___*

58 Tony P. 06.28.06 at 11:00 pm

Now that is one seriously displeased looking cat.

59 Mark 06.29.06 at 7:20 pm

How can someone fucking bath his cat? Haven’t you got any sense of feeling? Fucking idiots

60 Marie 08.07.06 at 7:54 am

I own a very additudinal Mainecoon. I have a feeling if I attempted that I would not live through the night.

61 Myname 08.07.06 at 9:46 pm

HI COOL CAT WHY DID YOU GIVE IT A BATH??

CATS CLEAN THEMSELVES!!!!

AND WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE YOUR CHOKING THE CAT?

62 Theo 08.07.06 at 9:49 pm

BECAUSE WE ARE!
THAT’S WHAT WE DO ON CUTE OVERLOAD!!!
WE CHOKE CATS!!! AHAHAHHHAHAAHAHAAAA!!!11!!1!monkeys!1!1!!!!

63 Deeds 08.25.06 at 11:54 am

seriously who bathes a cat !? a cat can clean himself perfectly. if you bathe him once, he’ll hate you for the rest of his life! he can act nice but he ain’t forgetting what his human did to him.
please don’t do it again…for the cats sake.

64 allycatgIrl 10.06.06 at 3:26 am

EEEWWW!!The cat:Disgusting
The woman:I can see her bra.I’m sorry,I thought this site was for animal photos,NOT bra photos!

65 boo 10.09.06 at 6:11 am

are you kidding??? lol. Don’t be so uptight… it’s just a bra. Grow up.

66 pj 02.01.07 at 5:56 pm

True, vets say u r not supposed to bath cats, they clean themselves. Bathing them dries out their skin,, but u can bath them if you want, you have to be careful, pick a good shampoo, you have to make the water warm, not hot, speak softly and make the experience tolerable for the cat…i bath my cat once a month and she doesnt fight me.

67 Monica Nickoles 07.12.07 at 1:08 pm

I think thins love to bath in the cat derives from its breed though it coud be a mix of many breeds. Anyway, you know every cat is unique:)

68 Crystal 07.21.07 at 5:55 pm

It looks like he’s strangling the cat…pretty messed up. Looks like animal cruelty to me.
