Xtreme Snorgle Close-up™

by Meg on May 10, 2006

This kittle is about to lean into your face and snoooorgle YOU.

Oh, and Rule #16 in full effect: (Head has big as body!) Don’t miss the teeeeeny tail too. Rule #17 for those following in the handbooks at home.

5 StormCat 05.10.06 at 1:31 pm

He looks like he’s saying “Hmmmm Is that vanilla?! Gimmee!!!”

hee hee What a cutie…

6 ariel 05.10.06 at 1:42 pm

aaaaaaah! kisses!
little sleepy kitty has a cold!
sniff sniff the camera.

7 carrie 05.10.06 at 1:43 pm

Looks like this kitten had a rough night!

8 Sarah 05.10.06 at 1:49 pm

rule #13, too. bonus.

9 Zelda 05.10.06 at 1:51 pm

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

10 Star 05.10.06 at 1:53 pm

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 05.10.06 at 2:04 pm

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

::makes with the grabby hands::

12 Theo 05.10.06 at 2:13 pm

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

13 Zelda 05.10.06 at 2:19 pm

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

MINE MINE MINE MINE!!!HEE HEE

14 lauren 05.10.06 at 2:20 pm

omg he has little pink sleepy-eye-ridges

15 Svenster 05.10.06 at 2:21 pm

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 05.10.06 at 2:28 pm

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

17 Theo 05.10.06 at 2:28 pm

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

18 Laura 05.10.06 at 2:29 pm

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 05.10.06 at 2:29 pm

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

20 Laura 05.10.06 at 2:38 pm

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

21 Beth 05.10.06 at 2:39 pm

i wuvs the sweepy eyes!

22 Norty 05.10.06 at 2:46 pm

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 05.10.06 at 2:58 pm

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

24 mariser 05.10.06 at 3:03 pm

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 05.10.06 at 3:04 pm

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. 05.10.06 at 3:05 pm

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 05.10.06 at 3:05 pm

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

28 mariser 05.10.06 at 3:06 pm

L.,

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

29 Diane N 05.10.06 at 3:08 pm

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

30 belle 05.10.06 at 3:08 pm

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 maltese parakeet 05.10.06 at 3:13 pm

that kitty is, like, so high, dude.

32 viv 05.10.06 at 3:19 pm

What a sweet little snorglepuss!

33 chackler 05.10.06 at 3:21 pm

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

34 M- 05.10.06 at 3:28 pm

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. 05.10.06 at 3:33 pm

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 05.10.06 at 3:33 pm

KITTEH CLOSEUP!

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

37 kaeotica 05.10.06 at 3:39 pm

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 05.10.06 at 3:44 pm

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

39 jaypo 05.10.06 at 3:46 pm

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. 05.10.06 at 3:46 pm

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

41 The Guy Over There 05.10.06 at 3:52 pm

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

42 jaypo 05.10.06 at 3:52 pm

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 05.10.06 at 4:25 pm

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

44 finn 05.10.06 at 4:29 pm

this is threebert in dr. jekyll mode.

this is threebert tonight:

45 Jan Spencer 05.10.06 at 4:32 pm

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 05.10.06 at 4:44 pm
47 mariser 05.10.06 at 4:59 pm

EC,

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

48 A thinker 05.10.06 at 5:05 pm

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

(partic. the middle one)

49 Theo 05.10.06 at 5:11 pm

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

50 mariser 05.10.06 at 5:18 pm

T.,

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

51 Theo 05.10.06 at 5:19 pm

Everybody’s gotta be a smartass…
;)

52 Ponygirl 05.10.06 at 5:31 pm

That kitten is stoned off his ass.

53 M- 05.10.06 at 5:32 pm

Well Theo at least we’re not dumbasses!

54 Theo 05.10.06 at 5:35 pm

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

55 mariser 05.10.06 at 6:05 pm

T.,

you shall rue this day… ass backwards, even!

56 Rafael 05.10.06 at 6:06 pm

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

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

57 Robin Dahlberg 05.10.06 at 6:15 pm

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

58 M- 05.10.06 at 6:27 pm

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 05.10.06 at 6:36 pm

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 05.10.06 at 6:40 pm

He can see into my soul.

61 BenPanced 05.10.06 at 6:46 pm

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

62 Meow House 05.10.06 at 6:51 pm

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 05.10.06 at 6:57 pm

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 05.10.06 at 7:32 pm
65 AuntieMame 05.10.06 at 7:40 pm

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

66 Theo 05.10.06 at 7:41 pm

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

67 Aubrey 05.10.06 at 7:43 pm

I so love living in a Theo-cracy.

68 Theo 05.10.06 at 7:44 pm

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

69 M- 05.10.06 at 8:14 pm

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

70 Theo 05.10.06 at 8:18 pm

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

71 MOpto_PmouSE 05.10.06 at 8:25 pm

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

72 C. 05.10.06 at 9:28 pm

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

73 Aubrey 05.10.06 at 10:05 pm

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

74 Theo 05.10.06 at 10:12 pm

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

75 Aubrey 05.10.06 at 10:20 pm

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

76 M- 05.10.06 at 10:30 pm

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 05.10.06 at 10:38 pm
78 Kristina 05.10.06 at 10:48 pm

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!

80 Cassidy 05.10.06 at 11:00 pm

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

81 JessJess 05.10.06 at 11:15 pm

Awwww! *rubs noses with the cute wittle kitty*

Wallpapered!

82 Kristen 05.10.06 at 11:47 pm

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

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

87 d0yle 05.11.06 at 3:49 am

88 AuntieMame 05.11.06 at 3:55 am

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

89 Aubrey 05.11.06 at 4:54 am

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 05.11.06 at 5:30 am

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

91 Who? 05.11.06 at 11:50 am

In Soviet Russia – Kitten snorgles you!

93 Wolf Plushtoy 05.11.06 at 11:51 am

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

94 TheIdleReceptionist 05.11.06 at 1:17 pm

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

*Dashes off to flip thru rulebook*

95 Anna aka IdleReceptionist 05.11.06 at 1:22 pm

Did anyone else snorgle el kittin with their mouse cursor?

96 Holly Kim 05.11.06 at 2:25 pm

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

97 ariel 05.11.06 at 2:34 pm

idleanna,

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

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

106 Who? 05.11.06 at 5:02 pm

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 05.11.06 at 6:19 pm

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 05.11.06 at 6:42 pm

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 05.12.06 at 6:33 am

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.
