  6. ariel says:

  7. carrie says:

    Looks like this kitten had a rough night!

  8. Sarah says:

  9. Zelda says:

    He’s having trouble focusing his eyes. Rought night, indeed!
    I’m gonna snorgle him RIGHT BACK!

  10. Star says:

    Aww, the baby has a li’l upper respiratory infection. Poor runny eyes. I already have two orange cats, so by rights he should be MINE! Eeee!

  11. pheral says:

    no, you already have two and i have none, so by rights he should be MYYYNE!

    ::makes with the grabby hands::

  12. Theo says:

    Li’l Threebert looks like he’s ready for his nap, now.

  13. Zelda says:

    *zelda snatches lil’ Threebert from Star and takes off, laughing wildly.

    MINE MINE MINE MINE!!!HEE HEE

  14. lauren says:

    omg he has little pink sleepy-eye-ridges

  15. Svenster says:

    THAT is by far the pinkest nose I’ve ever seen on a kitty!

    Time to leave work, better get home to Mr.SnaffronBubbles for a snorgle session.

  16. Gizmo says:

    A wee tad off-topic–but check out today’s Stone Soup comic strip for some hammie-related cross-species activity.

  17. Theo says:

    I’d be careful, Zelda… there is more power in our li’l Threeb than is dreamt of in your philosophy.

  18. Laura says:

    Hey Meg and Theo,

    I’ve been a devoted viewer since the beginning, but even I’m having trouble keeping all the Cuteness Rules straight. Could they be added to the glossary, perhaps?

  19. jaypo says:

    Awwwwwwwwwww!!! I want to clean the little smidgen off that pinkie nose!

  20. Laura says:

    Oops, um, nevermind; I just found them in the glossary.

  21. Beth says:

    i wuvs the sweepy eyes!

  22. Norty says:

    now now, there’s no need for fighting over this little guy… the way we solve this… is by letting ME take him.
    he can snorgle me, and then, we can both curl up for a nap.. he needs one.

  23. Zelda says:

    Let’s all nap together! We can share and snuggle in one big heap, with lil’ Threebert on top.

  24. mariser says:

    everyone,

    HA HA! fight over li’l yeller kitty all you want, but is futile.
    ‘cos I already have him!!
    HA HA!
    of course, he now weighs 12 lbs and takes over most of the couch, but…

  25. Theo says:

    Laura — have you checked out the Rules of Cuteness category?
    http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/cat3923167/index.html
    They’re at least in descending order, there.

    And all the rest of you kittie-grabbies, I’m SAYIN, it’s best for everybody if he doesn’t get upset.
    >:D

  26. L. says:

    Mr. Cat looks like he’s about to barf all over the camera–which I think may actually be a rule of cuteness.

  27. Theo says:

    Laura — just saw your follow-up comment. Okie dokes then.

  28. mariser says:

    L.,

    that’s it. threebert has a hangover. barfing rainbows, perhaps?

  29. Diane N says:

    Wow, alert reader Yao Ming! CO has conquered the NBA!!

  30. belle says:

    Awwww, Sweet Kitten of Delight (at last I’ve found you!)!!
    While you dorks fight, we’ve been snorgling and laughing. Good times, good times, indeed…

  31. that kitty is, like, so high, dude.

  32. viv says:

    What a sweet little snorglepuss!

  33. chackler says:

    love the little spec on this fella’s nose too!

  34. M- says:

    Is it me or does the adorable little nose and muzzlepuff just SCREAM kiss and snorgle me NOW!!! Its like a target magically appears and I can not resist the urge!!!! Looooffff the kittttttties even though I’m allergiiiiccccc….

  35. L. says:

    Mariser, we can only hope it’ll be a rainbow he barfs–maybe if he’s been fed tri-color kitty kibble? if he had a cosmo, then a hurricane, then a mojito? only the cameraman’s dry cleaner will know for sure.

  36. A thinker says:

    KITTEH CLOSEUP!

    I can almost feel the little wet nose and tickly whiskers. Virtual online snorgling has been achieved!

  37. kaeotica says:

    Long-time lurker checking in…

    Check out that sttrrrrretched back leg! Prosh!

    The Extreme Snorgle Camera Work reminds me of my own kitty, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/kaeotica/Remy.jpg
    <3!

  38. Trish says:

    Little marmy pants looks like he’s livin’ la vida loca on the beach there. *sandy snorgle*

  39. jaypo says:

    For all youse guys spatting about *owning* the Threebert, you never considered that the Threeb is capable of being in more than one place at one time, like all divine beings.

  40. Annie D. says:

    Those sweet little red-rimmed eyes. I’m thinking that his allergies to dogs have been acting up lately.

  41. The Guy Over There says:

    It may just be me, but that cat has “Alfred E. Neuman” written all over him.

  42. jaypo says:

    I’m looking at the background and trying reallllly hard not to think this little bebe is a stray … someone tell me his daddy took him home and put him to bed with a blankie and a cuddle for his cold.

  43. DavidBoBavid says:

    zomg!! that’s way too cute! i want a whole army of kitties like that.

  44. finn says:

    this is threebert in dr. jekyll mode.

    this is threebert tonight:
    http://cuteoverlord.blogspot.com/2006/05/unleash-me-from-this-restraining-palm.html

  45. Jan Spencer says:

    He’s MINE MINE MINE, and I will tell you why and with good reason…(I’m thinking…give me a minute here…)

  46. E. Collison says:
  47. mariser says:

    EC,

    right on! Threebert also seems to have more than a passing kinship to:

  48. A thinker says:

    *I* was thinking he looks remarkably like these guys:

    http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2006/04/how_to_enjoy_a_.html

    (partic. the middle one)

  49. Theo says:

    Whoa, it’s like I don’t have to do any work anymore.
    I’m so proud of my peeps. ;)

  50. mariser says:

    T.,

    whoa, you used to work?
    whoa.
    will wonders ever cease…

  51. Theo says:

    Everybody’s gotta be a smartass…
    ;)

  52. Ponygirl says:

    That kitten is stoned off his ass.

  53. M- says:

    Well Theo at least we’re not dumbasses!

  54. Theo says:

    [regrets re-starting the "ass" thread... at least a little bit]

  55. mariser says:

    T.,

    you shall rue this day… ass backwards, even!

  56. Rafael says:

    “Dude I move out and now your in my face?”

    http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/images/babyoliver.jpg

  57. Yep. This is pretty much what I look like in the morning, except with humans it’s not even remotely snorglicious!

  58. M- says:

    Robin – A certain type of human can be snorglicious in the morning if you come bearing their favorite Starbucks, breakfast in bed and then let them cat nap throughout the day in front of the television/computer… they are called husbands!!! As for the female of our species… not so much… *l*

  59. Theo says:

    You know, M- , that sounds pretty darn good right about now. Might I substitute the hip local coffeeshop for Starbucks, though?

    (And, AND, I can absolutely confirm that sometimes the “female of our species” appreciates this agenda, too.)

  60. Alyson says:

    He can see into my soul.

  61. BenPanced says:

    I wish I had a kitty that I could snorgle. So I’ll take this one!

  62. Meow House says:

    This one does have some resemblance to the Oliver Donovan, http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/images/babyoliver.jpg

    Let’s bake them BOTH in a pie!

  63. Aubrey says:

    With those whiskerswhiskers and teeny upright tail, this kitkat looks ALERT.

    “With a pink nose close to the ground, safe from the pound, he wants to put YOUR enemies in the PEN! Working for the little man, for a daily fee of Meow Mix and a single snorgle – multiple at the end of a job – he is CAT: THE BOUNTY HUNTER”

  64. Theo says:
  65. AuntieMame says:

    LOL, Theo! All he lacks is a tatty mullet.

  66. Theo says:

    Sorry, I just can’t do that to Threebert.

  67. Aubrey says:

    I so love living in a Theo-cracy.

  68. Theo says:

    Hmm, I kinda like that.
    [rubs hands together, chuckling]

  69. M- says:

    So what Theo… that makes you the Chaney to the actual Meg-ocracy that is CO?… *lmao*

  70. Theo says:

    Just doesn’t sound as good, does it?
    :P

  71. MOpto_PmouSE says:

    this kitty looks lik the toxoplasmosis kid.. eeps, mtm

  72. C. says:

    Aww, poor baby has a cold :( *snorgles him*

  73. Aubrey says:

    Actually, Cute Overload is also referred to as the Heg-Meg-emony.

  74. Theo says:

    How bout “Megemony” maybe, to keep it pronounceable?

  75. Aubrey says:

    I would bow to your decision, O Theo, but I’m afraid my sinuses would explode. ‘Megemony’ sounds lovely.

  76. M- says:

    Either way as far as I am concerned Meg is the the Godess of CO! Somehow I see her reclining majestically on a bed of satin and flower petals, with Sparkster by her side and all sorts of cuteness surrounding her… (hamsters and bunnies and kittens oh my)…. small chirping birds shall serenade her… and she shall spread her cuteness to the world…

    You on the other hand Theo… you’re more like the guard at the front gate who though surrounded by mamrmalade kittens will not hesitate to strike someone stupid enough to yell “first post” down… it’s why we like you… cute but with claws… it works. *g*

  77. Theo says:
  78. Kristina says:

    I was having a horrible day… and I drop on by my favorite site and what do I see? The perfect pick-me-up! A kitten who snorgles me and makes me feel better! Thank you a million times!
    ciao!

  79. caitlin says:

    he looks high. cute, but high.

  80. Cassidy says:

    if you look at it from far away, it looks like a bobblehead.(an anerable bobblehead)notice the cute vocabulary

  81. JessJess says:

    Awwww! *rubs noses with the cute wittle kitty*

    Wallpapered!

  82. Kristen says:

    Kitty, your eyes are bloodshot. What have you been doing!!?

  83. Mel says:

  84. Yaoming says:

    Thanks guy! For loving Sunshine so much.

    Check out my post on Sunshine for more cute pictures of sunshine =)

  85. mariser says:

    Yaoming,

    thanks for sharing the pictures of Sunshine. what a perfect name!

  86. yaoming says:

    Sure thing =)

    But it a pity we had to give it away =(

  87. d0yle says:

    awww! precious =]

  88. AuntieMame says:

    Aww! You could hear her making yummy noises as she drank her milk!

  89. Aubrey says:

    I can totally relate to Food Enthusiasm. But somehow I don’t think it’s as cute when I devour, say, a bag of Nacho-flavored Doritos. I never do it when there’s a camcorder around, just to be safe.

  90. ka9q's wife says:

    no doubt about it…ah am in lurve…*dances around singing about snorgling kittehs* la la la la la

  91. Who? says:

    In Soviet Russia – Kitten snorgles you!

  92. Wolf Plushtoy says:

    In Soviet Russia, Kitten Snorgles you!

  93. Wolf Plushtoy says:

    Alright. That’s just creepy. Same timestamp and everything.

  94. Is there a rule about whisker-to-muzzle ratio?

    *Dashes off to flip thru rulebook*

  95. Did anyone else snorgle el kittin with their mouse cursor?

  96. Holly Kim says:

    When I first saw this one, all I could think is “I’m ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille!”

  97. ariel says:

    idleanna,

    i tried out the cursor-snorgle.
    while not as DEELISH as the real thing, it IS quite satisfying. thanks for the ideer.

    Hi baby!!!

  101. o says:

    Dude man, I like totally have the munchies, I feel like having, like burritos and ice cream and guacamole and hot dogs and caramel and… Dude, have you ever looked at your hand, I mean, really lokked at your hand…mmm, nachos.

    I THINK SOMEONE HAS BEEN SMOKING A BIT TOO MUCH ‘NIP

  102. A thinker says:

    LOL @ Theo-cracy

  105. o says:

    hm, sorry about that post coming out 3 times… my computer froze, and I clicked 3 times. Meh, sorry!

  106. Who? says:

    Wolf Plushtoy: That’s pretty freaky, man. Guess that’s what happens when we start mixing CO and /. memes!

    Wonder if kitty likes hot grits?

  107. Grace says:

    I think this kitty is a “cute or sad?” candidate. Cute, yes, but obviously a kitty who needs a good trip to the vet and a swipe with a kitten wipe.

  108. snoopysnake says:

    I defy anyone to look at this kitty for more than 10 seconds without putting their nose up to the monitor and cooing, “ohlittlekittywikikittywiddlewookiewiddykittykitty.”

  109. embachick says:

    I’ve put this anerable baby on my wallpaper at work because he reminds me of the anreable baby I have at home! Orange kitties are the SWEETEST.
