Michael T. sends a sunbeam out to California where we’ve had like, 30 straight days of rain. Gracias, Michael (and prosh kitten.)

oh my god, my brain just exploded.

2 Aubrey 04.07.06 at 12:36 am

Am I first? Am I the first one to say that my head just exploded??

3 Aubrey 04.07.06 at 12:38 am

Wow – a narrow miss. But with nearly the same wording! Spooky!

4 Christina 04.07.06 at 12:39 am

Awww… so cute and yet so eerily spooky. Probably just me..

Adorable.

5 Jude 04.07.06 at 12:49 am

Oh. My. God. That is the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time. Well, since I saw that picture of the two kitties cuddling a few posts down, anyway.

Hey, it’s sunny in San Diego today, finally!

The Analytic Philosophy book in the background adds a nice touch… is the kitten’s name Socrates?

7 punkpie 04.07.06 at 1:02 am

so anerable!

(I’m sick of this rain too. I’m soggy!)

8 Mel 04.07.06 at 1:03 am

I don’t know why, but I find myself staring at this photo and am almost overwhelmed with an urge to purchage squishy gourmet cat food. Is this an experiment in kitten mind control?

9 Jan Spencer 04.07.06 at 1:12 am

I love it! OH I’m gonna go squeeze both my kitties now… he looks like he’s posing for a magazine, or better yet, and album cover, you know light on one side, shadow on the other…

10 Rafael 04.07.06 at 1:16 am

Peeekaboo!

11 A thinker 04.07.06 at 1:20 am

This kitty looks like he’s in the midst of saying something incredibly earnest and profound. If I knew more philosophy, I’d be able to put some words in his mouth. Somebody help me.

12 janna 04.07.06 at 1:36 am

Wee babyhead!

So much cuteness!

13 Aubrey 04.07.06 at 1:48 am

It’s almost unearthly, as if the ray of sunlight it’s basking in brought it to us from another plane of consciousness.

Unearthly, unbearable cuteness.

14 ElfOwl 04.07.06 at 2:16 am

Heh, I was just thinking it looks like those really contemplative black and white pictures of the author on the back of a book jacket. Kitty’s a genius!

15 Theo 04.07.06 at 2:27 am

Angel fluff!

16 Michele 04.07.06 at 2:27 am

aww hes like in a little professors portrait in a newspaper, and that book is, like, his first best seller and he is being interviewed by a reporter about his new found success

17 Cairo 04.07.06 at 2:57 am

This is an AMAZING picture! WOW

18 Zombie 04.07.06 at 2:59 am

KITTEH+SUN=WIN

19 Lacrossedragon 04.07.06 at 3:28 am

20 s 04.07.06 at 3:36 am

this picture makes me think of those old kodak portrait guides from the 70’s. all you need is kitty in a big floppy straw hat with some long hippy blonde hair and a big daisy

21 Zombie 04.07.06 at 4:15 am

22 Darcy 04.07.06 at 4:40 am

That title sums it up PURR-fectly.

23 Darcy 04.07.06 at 4:40 am

Cutie pie!

24 Darcy 04.07.06 at 4:41 am

When I saw this title, I thought of a cat with laser vision! LoL!

25 E. Collison 04.07.06 at 6:15 am

Very contemplative kitty, though there’s something a bit unnerving about its stare…

As for it looking like an author portrait – yep!

26 Carlisa 04.07.06 at 6:16 am

This photo is amazing! Kitty looks so apprehensive. Pictures like this kinda of leave you lost for words because they’ve already said it all. Felt like I visited California for a while. I think you should make him/her your official weather reporter. I love this picture!!!!!!!

27 Subhangi 04.07.06 at 6:30 am

Ooooh. Heaven with a kitty angel bathed in luminescence ready to welcome me. Ahhh.

28 finn 04.07.06 at 11:34 am

“Statistically speaking, the cat (goes the joke),
Is half a cat breathing and half a cat croaked.
To some this may seem a ridiculous split,
But quantum mechanics must answer, “Tough @#&!”

p.s.
meg, we’ll take your rain. we’re parched here in DE.

30 The Guy Over There 04.07.06 at 11:49 am

If Deep Throat was a cat!! :O

31 Wendy 04.07.06 at 12:24 pm

Scrumdidilyumptious kitten!

Plenty of sunshine here on the Northeast coast!

32 c 04.07.06 at 12:33 pm

Hmmm, It’s film noir meets 1st grade school picture!

Verrrrrrry cute!

33 ariel 04.07.06 at 1:12 pm

angel face kitty.
here in the midwest, it’s thunderstorms, tornadoes, and premature heat.

34 Aelfwyn 04.07.06 at 1:28 pm

This is a very philosophical little cat. I think it’s pondering the Unbearable Lightness of Being (So Cute). BTW, I thought it was just Brits who went on about the weather? It’s cold and windy here in Scotland and the snowdrops are only just being replaced by daffodils!

35 Teughcats 04.07.06 at 2:05 pm

Ariel, I don’t know where you are in the midwest, but here in Michigan it’s SNOWING!

And yes, the kitty and the photo are precious and adorable.

LOVE this, site, Meg!

36 gnatish 04.07.06 at 2:06 pm

It might be that I’m just tired, but this is so pretty I’m getting teary eyed. what an angel

37 Rafael 04.07.06 at 3:32 pm

There two types of weather in Michigan, Winter & Under Contruction!

I think this kitty is drinking up the light.

Perfect wall poster material.

38 Theo 04.07.06 at 3:34 pm

Finn — that Schroedinger’s Straight Dope link? It is teh Über-Shizz and my lmao is rofl. Truly classic.

39 ariel 04.07.06 at 4:25 pm

teughcats: i’m in mid-mizery.
although chicagoans have tried to tell me i live in the south.

40 ariel 04.07.06 at 4:28 pm

we’ve got daffodils, hyacinth, & redbuds busting out.

41 opalbeach 04.07.06 at 5:12 pm

I feel like i’ve just been stabbed in both eyes with a rainbow switch-blade knife!

42 faye 04.07.06 at 6:05 pm

Come on kitty, give us a smile!

43 kochou 04.07.06 at 6:10 pm

oh, it’s darling!

44 belle 04.07.06 at 6:25 pm

Weather update: at this very second it is SUNNY in downtown SF.
Thank you, sweet kitten, for the mojo you worked!

45 Theo 04.07.06 at 8:39 pm

Oh hey, is that only one paw, showing on the tabletop? We may have a polydactyl kitters here.

46 ami 04.07.06 at 8:59 pm

um can anyone say…scrumptious? and is it ok to squeeze the screen?

47 belle 04.07.06 at 9:28 pm

Hey kitten? Uh, yeah… your powers are faaaading…
Well, at least you’re still cute!

48 Darcy 04.08.06 at 9:05 pm

faye, when you said: ‘Come on kitty, give us a smile!’ I pictured the above kitteh with those anime happy eyes and a smile. Gyeeeah! Cute!

49 sally 04.09.06 at 5:27 am

Hmmm…liken that philosophy in the back too! You know this kids gonna be smart!

50 Mook 04.10.06 at 2:09 am

Sun-bathed kitten with serious gaze
soulful eyes hint at mysterious ways

51 Jackie 04.10.06 at 7:27 pm

Extra toes, extra toes! How prosh…

52 Christine 04.10.06 at 9:43 pm

OMG, Michele, that makes it even cuter.

53 lily 05.02.06 at 12:51 am

THIS IS SOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!

54 . 05.08.06 at 4:07 am

to The Guy Over There who said “If Deep Throat was a cat”… I say, yes… so that your dick could get bitten or clawed off, for saying that.
