by Meg on March 31, 2006

Das Amazin’ Cat Collection features an amazing example of Rule of Cuteness  #7: A thing, accompanied by a smaller version of that thing, is always cute. Embroider THAT on a pillow, People. A double scoop of DELICIOUSNESS.

I love the two-headed cat from whatever planet she comes from! :D

2 Wisefool 03.31.06 at 12:18 am

Does the big one look angry to you?

3 C 03.31.06 at 12:19 am

Yeah, the big kitty does not look particularly happy with the situation…

4 ElfOwl 03.31.06 at 12:25 am

The big kitty says: “I had *better* not find this picture on the internet when I get home. *Last* time a agree to give junior a pony ride. . .”

5 Jan Spencer 03.31.06 at 12:33 am

No, you guys have it all wrong…its like this… “Big kitty is telling camera person to lay off taking any more pictures…” See, the picture taker is the puparrazzi (get it? PUP aratzi!) and the big kitty is saying ‘leave my little one alone’…because big kitty is MISS KITTY, the international star of cinema and television, and this is her little one, and doesn’t want her child in the public eye.

See? Big kitty protecting little kitty.

It’s all how you look at it… :)

OK, off to watch more of my rag-mag entertainment tonight crap shows.

6 Jan Spencer 03.31.06 at 12:34 am

This is the kitty version of the Britney Spears car seat thing. LOL OK, I’m gonna stop now… really.

(btw…did I mention how CUTE this is?)

7 jaypo 03.31.06 at 12:47 am

Baby is begging to be removed… She’s gonna blow, captain, she’s gonna blow!

8 Kym 03.31.06 at 12:48 am

NEKOKONEKO <3

9 jaypo 03.31.06 at 12:49 am

My cat gave me that look once when I took one too many pictures.

10 moptopmouse 03.31.06 at 12:50 am

Wow! Dovima AND China Mikado!!

11 debbie 03.31.06 at 12:51 am

Good god, the big cat looks like the spawn of Satan itself. EEEEEeeevil glare.

12 Bubbles 03.31.06 at 12:55 am

Two scoops of vanilla fluffiness in a waffle cone, please.

13 s 03.31.06 at 1:07 am

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

14 Carlisa 03.31.06 at 1:07 am

I have had that very same look on MY face after my kids had done something VERY bad and try to make up. Bad BAD little kitty!

15 Mel 03.31.06 at 1:10 am

Double ahn.

16 A thinker 03.31.06 at 1:14 am

OH, this is wonderful!! What a nice patient mama kitty (I’m assuming. . .) and wee little cutiekins.

17 Theo 03.31.06 at 1:18 am

It’s a double-stuff fluffy puff.

18 Jes 03.31.06 at 1:22 am

OOOHHH, I have GOT to get a little white fluffball kitten to complete my monochromatic set.

19 Carlisa 03.31.06 at 1:32 am

Jes— (hope this is the right person!) How did your kitty make out today with the vet visit? I might have the wrong person but I know someone had mentioned having to take their baby in to the vet for some problem in the chest. If it’s you, let me know :o )—can email

20 Flewellyn 03.31.06 at 1:34 am

“I shall call him…Mini-Squee…”

21 Rafael 03.31.06 at 2:09 am

Motherhood, the things you have to put with!

Tres cuuute!

22 Carlisa 03.31.06 at 2:18 am

Mommy cat is thinking—”Thank God that’s NOT 18 in CAT years!”

23 kagomechan21 03.31.06 at 2:32 am

the big kitty is ticked cause owner person has taken waaaay too many pictures of him in the kitty bonnet…hes tired of having the cuteness documented

24 kendosan 03.31.06 at 2:46 am

Sasaki-san! look! Nekokoneko!

awwwwwwwwwwwww…

25 Terpsichore 03.31.06 at 3:01 am

AAAAAGH NEKOKONEKO!!

26 DLT 03.31.06 at 3:12 am

what is this “nekokoneko”?

i am confused.

27 Another different Meg 03.31.06 at 3:16 am

It’s also a Stuff on My Cat™ picture! Except I don’t think I’ve ever seen one where the Stuff was a kitty, too.

28 Sabella 03.31.06 at 3:21 am

Okay that would be cute on a t-shirt too!

29 Theo 03.31.06 at 3:25 am

OK — I wondered about “nekokoneko” too so I started Googling… here’s what I come up with: It’s a stuffed animal from an anime series.

Nekokoneko!

32 Karin 03.31.06 at 4:10 am

hmm…7 years since I took Japanese…neko means cat and nekoko would come in roughly (maybe exactly, can’t remember) as child of the cat. Between the utter cuteness and trying to remember what I thought I forgot…head explodes. :)

33 visualazn 03.31.06 at 4:33 am

Hehe.. I thought of Azumanga too! Like this wall: http://www.pixelgirlpresents.com/images/desktops/mindy/neko_1280.gif

Big kitty looks pissed off. /me backs away from kitty

34 Koneko 03.31.06 at 4:34 am

Ahhh! Finally someone who watches Azumanga Daioh!!! :D

35 Kym 03.31.06 at 4:37 am

Azumanga is <3.

36 Rafael 03.31.06 at 4:46 am

Kitten: “Momma, who’s that with the blinky thing?”

Momma Cat:” Well junior, if that blinky thing doesn’t stop in about five seconds, a very dead human.”

Waay tooo cuuuute!

37 AuntieMame 03.31.06 at 5:05 am

Yikes. The big kitty looks like it’s about to start speaking in tongues and doing 180s with its neck…

And the little one is saying “Come on, dad! Just one more horsey-ride. Pleeeeeeease!?!”

38 VaCKo 03.31.06 at 5:31 am

“Kid? You are seriously getting on my last nerve here.”
“But I’m boooooored…”

39 Subhangi 03.31.06 at 5:38 am

“Watch it, varmints. No one comes near Ma Baker when she’s protecting her boy.”

40 CreepyGroovy 03.31.06 at 5:44 am

This is so cute, I just crapped my pants. Great.

41 Jes 03.31.06 at 5:49 am

My kitty update: We went to the vet today & find a very small hole (bite?) in his black fur, which is why I didn’t see any blood on him. His belly fur is white, which is where the lump is. So it’s not a tumor!! I was so worried. It’s probably just an abscess, so we get to have yummy canned food for a couple of weeks to hide the antibiotics in. :o D

42 Anne Packrat 03.31.06 at 7:24 am

This is literally a live action version of the “Nekokoneko” mascot from Azumanga Daioh. It showed up on the Japanese site 2chan first I believe.

43 Fygee 03.31.06 at 7:27 am

Perhaps I’m going mad, but the bottom cat reminded me a lot of SHODAN from System Shock. Odd resemblance?

44 JessJess 03.31.06 at 7:37 am

“It’s a double-stuff fluffy puff.”

LOL, oh Theo you kill me XD

Big Mamma looks like she’s about to eat the camera. And little one is just anerable!

45 Amanda Lou Snow 03.31.06 at 8:24 am

Two heads are better than one!

46 Darcy 03.31.06 at 8:49 am

Fygee, LoL! You’re ri-ight! I can see some resemblence. (sp?????????)

47 Carlisa 03.31.06 at 12:17 pm

Jes—- That’s great “meeeewwwws”! I’m sure your “baby” will check out fine. ;X3 Keep us posted!

48 Lynne and Nellie 03.31.06 at 12:43 pm

What would I do without Cute Overload? How did I ever start my day without you? I can now start my day because these two are just TOO CUTE? Thanks

49 maria 03.31.06 at 12:46 pm

Azumanga Daioh! Yes, my kids live for the Anime Network and anything Japanese! I’m familiar with the characters of that anime.
As for Mama cat — Geeze, kids will do that to you sometimes! It’s cute when they’re little, but harder to take when they’re teens (“no, don’t slam into me! Arggh!”)
Sweet kitten! ;)

50 Tracey 03.31.06 at 1:41 pm

oh my doodness they are just tooo toot!

51 Jan Spencer 03.31.06 at 1:56 pm

Jes…I am glad it wasn’t anything terrible! Good for you for your fur baby!

52 Diane 03.31.06 at 2:53 pm

First post ever!

Junior: She’ll NEVER find me here!

Mom: My looks, dad’s brains…

53 BenPanced 03.31.06 at 3:17 pm

Kitten imitates car noises.

61 Not That Mike The Other Mike 03.31.06 at 4:54 pm

Remember that character “Kuato” from the movie “Total Recall”?

http://www.cinefex.com/backissues/number43.jpg

This is his cat.

62 Jackie 03.31.06 at 6:13 pm

Awwww! They’re so cute! They’re so white and floofy and they gots the wittle bitty eyes…*dies*

63 Catman Dude =^-.-^= 03.31.06 at 6:22 pm

Momma cat says: “Down from there, Junior! I don’t have a milky thingy up there! Now git down!!”

64 AuntieMame 03.31.06 at 6:42 pm
65 josh 03.31.06 at 8:55 pm

66 josh 03.31.06 at 9:02 pm

THIS should be the new tshirt!!!

67 Rafael 03.31.06 at 10:18 pm

I think it’s dady cat, not momy!

Cat:”The wife leaves for a moment and this kid is all over me!”

Kitten:”Daddy, daddy, let’s go for another ride! Weeeeee!!!!”

68 Hammy 03.31.06 at 10:24 pm

Ah, the lessons of life, never leave your spouse home alone with the children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

69 greenburrito 04.01.06 at 12:52 am

***Snow balls***

70 E. Collison 04.01.06 at 1:01 am

I think Rafael’s right – this looks like a *very* tired dad who’s been carrying someone piggyback for too long..

71 Caroline 04.01.06 at 1:26 am

“This is my youngest, he’s a pain in the ass.”

72 Chel 04.01.06 at 1:30 am

Actually I believe the phrase “Nekokoneko” is neko (cat) and koneko (kitten) ran together. Now for another Japanese term for this picture: Kawaii! (Cute!)

73 raspbryHazlnut 04.01.06 at 1:39 am

i second josh. this should be the next t-shirt!

74 Carlisa 04.01.06 at 3:22 am

That is the look of toe2tail aggravation! Do you suppose she had to go for her driver’s license pic at the DMV? ….and we wonder “why?” are pics look so bad?!!!

75 gillian 04.01.06 at 3:36 am

Yay! Stackable Pets!

77 Adalia 04.01.06 at 4:03 pm

It’s necoconeco in real life… GIVE ME YOUR CATS!!!

78 Adalia 04.02.06 at 1:58 am

Yeah… if you people would read the manga it spells Necoconeco with C’s, not K’s.

79 Carolina 04.02.06 at 6:49 am

o_O Real life neco coneco! (I swear I remember it was written with Cs instead of Ks in a catalog in Azumanga). That’s a dream come true.

80 elisesylvielucy 04.02.06 at 4:00 pm

the bottom one looks as if it has an evil scheme……as if to take over the world. but not while it is being attacked by a cute kitten!

81 moptopmouse 04.03.06 at 9:22 pm

That should be ‘Wow! CHINA MACHADO & DOVIMA!!

82 Adalia 04.07.06 at 12:56 am

Personally I don’t remember ever seeing ‘Necoconeco’ spelt with K’s except by people online… I don’t know. CUUUUTE kitties anyway!!

83 Adam "rampage" Meltzer 04.07.06 at 9:13 pm

Neko is romanized with a ‘k’ not a ‘c’. There is no ‘c’ romanization in Japanese, it’s all ‘k’.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roomaji

“Neco” may be vocally correct, but that’s not a correct romanization.
