Those kitties are awesome!

3 Alyson 02.06.06 at 8:40 pm

That is fricking hysterical. Made even better by the much calmer kitty sitting behind the one in flight.

4 Bubbles 02.06.06 at 8:41 pm

FREAK OUT! La Freak, c’est chic!! *cue disco music*

5 Tracy 02.06.06 at 8:51 pm

That cat looks so joyous! So “WHEEEE!” :D

6 maymee 02.06.06 at 8:54 pm

7 christina 02.06.06 at 9:00 pm

8 Norty 02.06.06 at 9:03 pm

He looks like Dracula: “I vant to bite your neck!”

11 s 02.06.06 at 9:14 pm

i am imagining kitty jumping into my arms
*hug*

12 Aly 02.06.06 at 9:18 pm

hahahahahaha that is so awesome. That cat is just giddy I tell you. And the other one’s just like “…uh? okay…” ..heee

13 Lies 02.06.06 at 9:41 pm

The flying cats…

It might be nice if you linked to the owner’s slideshow, rather then to someone who just steals nice pictures.

14 stephanie 02.06.06 at 10:04 pm

Here are all of his flying cat pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/junku/sets/303691/

15 Zamm 02.06.06 at 10:08 pm

I agree: please give credit to Junku. :)

16 Ocelot 02.06.06 at 10:10 pm

Hahaha, this is the best picture eveh! It absolutely made my day!

17 Michelle 02.06.06 at 10:49 pm

What a great photo! Thanks for the link to the photographer’s page, others. Every single photo is worth checking out.

18 La Lola 02.06.06 at 10:53 pm

Okay! That totally got me when I clicked the picture. Made me nearly die of cuteness, and made my cat get off her lazy butt to come examine what the heck that loud music was pooring out of Mom’s computer!

<333!!!

19 Theo 02.06.06 at 10:55 pm

Meg — I was going to say that I’d seen these pix before on Junku’s Flikr series, but it looks like someone beat me to it. Please do give credit & include the source link in the post proper.

20 hashi 02.06.06 at 10:56 pm

That is quite seriously the best flying cat picture ever.

21 janessa 02.06.06 at 11:37 pm

Who actually lives in an apartment that is this ultra-modern and pristine?

22 dwarf rabbit owner too! 02.07.06 at 12:00 am

“If you’re happy and you know it clap your paws!”

A great shot! A rare one too, I suppose.

23 adrianna 02.07.06 at 12:39 am

omg. watch the slideshow at a speed of 1.5 seconds while listeing to Lemon Demon’s “Dance Like an Idiot (Aaron’s wall of sound mix)”: http://eviltrailmix.com/lemondemon

24 chets momma 02.07.06 at 12:48 am

people, go to the flickr site to see 9 pages of junku’s cats. your head and your heart will explode from the cuteness and absolute kitty joy! i can hardly stand it myself…..!

25 Ken L. 02.07.06 at 1:16 am

Must visit the original Flickr set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/junku/sets/303691/

26 Mel 02.07.06 at 1:25 am

Wow! What great pics. I don’t even really like cats, but…gosh them are some cute kitties! Also, I want to move into that fabu apartment immediately.

27 suzy 02.07.06 at 1:32 am

UNBELIEVABLE

28 Theo 02.07.06 at 2:39 am

Yay!

29 Steph 02.07.06 at 3:41 am

Simply amazing!

30 Justin 02.07.06 at 4:02 am

Where on earth is that cat going, and in such a hurry! Does a splendid treat await?? ;]

31 Rafael 02.07.06 at 4:48 am

Ready or not, Catnip here I COME!

Up, Up and AWAAAAAYYYY!!!!

32 Woods walker 02.07.06 at 6:47 am

We actually had a cat that was named Super Cat. He has been in cat heaven for a very long time. My older brother named him.

33 Papaya 02.07.06 at 6:53 am

Oh man.. that’s awesome!!

34 Crazed 02.07.06 at 8:02 am

Hahahaa…. I did the thing with the slideshow that Adrianna recommended with the “Dance Like an Idiot” remix, and it was great. I had never heard the song before either – Great song, and a really fun way to watch the slideshow. Thanks for the suggestion, Adrianna!
Oh, and my husband almost fell of his chair laughing when I showed him the “Dance Like an Idiot” Flying Cat Circus.

35 finn 02.07.06 at 12:47 pm

once more i’m reminded how much my cats suck. they just lie around and sleep all day, then yell at me to feed them when i get home, then go back to sleep.

if i had fun, jumping kitties like these, i might like cats.

36 Jan 02.07.06 at 1:24 pm

Way too funny…I love this site and look forward to peeking in daily.

I have my co workers hooked now too!

37 Meow House 02.07.06 at 2:46 pm

Man I bet those kitties were in for a looooong nap after filming that! :-)

38 ashley 02.07.06 at 2:49 pm

Up Up and away!!!

39 dwarf rabbit owner too! 02.07.06 at 2:55 pm

Count me in with all who have said now and prior and in future… to please give credit and links back to originals just my.02!

40 Denita TwoDragons 02.07.06 at 3:28 pm

Kinda reminds me of my kitty Underfoot. Only she attacks butts. No kidding–she runs across the room and tries to pounce on your butt as you’re walking by. Itgoes like this: *thumpitythumpitythumpity* *four paws hit my butt* *thumpitythumpitythumpity…*

I imagine she looks like Superkitty when she does it… ^__^

41 Gus 02.07.06 at 4:21 pm

what a fantastic shot!

42 stephanie 02.07.06 at 4:48 pm

janessa, junku lives in Toyko. Clean by necessity, cause its not very big.

43 Meow House 02.07.06 at 5:36 pm

All should check out the other cat photo/slideshow sets Junku has on his site. He loves his kitties!

44 Tina 02.07.06 at 5:38 pm

Finn, if you put some effort into playing with your cats, you could all have more fun, though not all cats are fliers. These kids remind me of a young guy I took care of years ago– he’d go after the flying toy, without a moment’s care where he was going to land, or which way up… but I kinda wish they were landing on a softer floor!

45 Natasha 02.07.06 at 5:56 pm

There’s a famous photo of the great choreographer Balanchine with his wonderful “flying” cat, Mourka : http://www.danceumbrella.co.uk/images/O.gif

Mr. B. used to say that the only creatures worthy of his choreography were cats…

46 Evan 02.07.06 at 6:26 pm

High Five! (Say in Borat voice.)

47 Lilia 02.07.06 at 7:22 pm

My….head…just…burst…from
laughing….I dont really think that applies to cute, but boy, it got ME on the floor laughing!

48 Laura 02.07.06 at 8:41 pm

RRRRRR DAT IS SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE IT SHOULD BE SHOWN 2 EVERYONE

49 andrea 02.07.06 at 9:52 pm

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

50 Jenna 02.07.06 at 10:46 pm

Too cute!! Attack of the flying Tum Tum !!! her Tummy is tooo cute!!!

51 bc town 02.07.06 at 11:59 pm

i’m guessing everyone’s resisting the temptation to photoshop a cape on this picture?

52 Jackie R 02.08.06 at 12:24 am

My cats back home can “fly” like that if you use a laser pointer, but Junku’s flying cats were just amazing. How in the worls does he get such crisp photos? Everytime I try to take a photo of a flying cat, the photo is all blurry! He must have one of those high-tech Japanese cameras…

53 Chris 02.08.06 at 7:40 pm

Aww, how funny!

54 Katey 02.08.06 at 8:32 pm

I couldn’t help but comment to the above commenters. Meg DID link to the entire photostream, and she DID give credit. You guys should really consider reading the WHOLE post prior to complaining…

I know that she didn’t get it there to begin with, but she corrected it. So lay off, would ya?

You’re distracting her from her quest for cute with all this extraneous complaining!

Just my $.02.

55 Theo 02.08.06 at 8:48 pm

Ahem: Katey, when this was first posted, Meg hadn’t yet linked to the Junku photostream. And trust me, we do read this stuff. All of it. Like trembling addicts.

1 more thing… after the $#!%storm of commentroversy over the “racks” and “bitches” posts, do you really think any of us are going to distract Meg from this, her most holy and divine mission?

Erm, OK… from her blog. Whatever. (Although I’m still mystified by the on-again-off-again tip jar.)

56 Tasha 02.08.06 at 10:29 pm

Speaking of, where are the racks? Why don’t some of you chicks send in pictures of your racks?

57 Theo 02.08.06 at 11:28 pm

And by “chicks” you mean…?

58 Theo 02.08.06 at 11:45 pm

…anyway, Tasha, this link’s for you.

59 DEUSROM 02.09.06 at 1:31 am

YTMND TO THE RESCUE!!!!

60 Trish 02.09.06 at 2:43 am

This is the BEST photo in the world!!! I love that his mouth is open, too. Very engaged. And so much funnier when countered with Peaceful McPeacfulson chillin’ there in the background.

61 Tina 02.09.06 at 4:46 am

Just for the record, Supercat is a her. Any cat with both black and orange patches is (99.9% of the time) a female. So she’s Wonder Woman!

62 dave 02.09.06 at 8:08 am

I find it kinda annoying that cuteoverload frames all the entries so you always get their url? Please try to remove it. thanks.

63 Saretta 02.09.06 at 2:21 pm

Fly meeee to the mooonnn!!!!
finally the day makes sense!!

64 Vazzy L 02.15.06 at 12:58 pm

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!

65 Racheli 02.19.06 at 2:27 pm

this photo made me laugh so hard, I almost fell of my chair! purrfect!

66 Annie 02.20.06 at 4:44 pm

:( They took it off. I can’t see it. Oh well.

67 Tiffany 02.23.06 at 4:42 am

I seriously crack up EVERY TIME I look at this one…

68 Kristine 03.03.06 at 7:55 pm

It’s like “Put me in Coach!”

69 roger 03.17.06 at 11:12 pm

Out of all the photos on cute overload, this made me laugh the hardest. It definitely made my day. It’s such a “yay!” photo: the super-hero cat. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Watch-a me sing-a le Opera…

LAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! LalalalalalalalalaLAAAAA!!! *and the audience goes wild*

72 Fantasyfan 11.23.06 at 6:40 am

Finally Junko got his credit. I’ve seen so many of his shots stolen in different places.

But Junko is my idol to what comes taking photos of cats :)

73 Allan Barger 11.24.06 at 1:50 pm

Love the web 2.0 reflections on the calm cat!

74 Patricia 11.25.06 at 12:56 am

This is obviously a doctored shot, right? I mean, who would be so stupid as to take a cat out in a boat like this one?

75 Kelly K. 12.19.06 at 5:59 pm

That looks so fake thats how cute it looks. I fell out of my chair due to the cuteness. I…. loved it. Sooo cute!! Hahahaha. So adorable. Everyone should see it. How cute can cat pictures get!? I already have shown all seventeen of my reletives .
