Hey, wait a minute…?

Aghhh, he’s being swallowed by the cleavage of doom!

This should go in the Cats ‘n’ Racks Hall of Fame.

HOH-lee GOOD GOD DAMN, Jules, lookit this! Big Moxie musta bin stuffing her front the whole time!!

(heh… BUSTED.)

whooooo buddy!
happy cat

*rofl* Being female and quite similarly endowed all I can say is she is one BRAVE woman!!! There is NO way I would risk a spastic cat in there no matter how much I loved it…. I may be selfish but when you have a great rack you set the cat NEXT to it… not IN it!!!!

I humbly submit that the Cats ‘n Racks category heretofore be renamed to Kittehs n’ Tittehs.

XD

I vote with Skwerly … *hysterical*!

um, sorry, yuck the boobage…

but the KITTEH is my absolute all-time fave: longhair gray tabby. YUM!

i just had what was to me a rough flight. the woman next to me saw me grip my arm rest and she covered my arm with hers and held my hand. she must have been one of the largest women i’ve seen in a while.
the feeling of my arm being totally enveloped by hers was so comforting. i can tell you, as a straight woman, that resting in mounds of earth momma chub (boobs are chub… chub and a milk bar) would be heaven. doesn’t work for men. hair bad. bare or fur good. this kitten will not hurt the boobalies as she knows she’s in heaven. if she were on a chest like paris hilton’s or lindsay lohan’s, she’s be fighting to get away from the bony chest.
my cat sleeps on my ass…. and no matter what, that is NOT a photo for cute overload. ….load overload, perhaps.

Bubbles: see:

http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2005/12/nice_rack.html

and take comfort.

now all you need is to borrow a cat.

Right, I needs me a teeny tiny kitten to make the rack seem bigger.

What kitten?

I hope that boob cleavage, and not the other kind…

takes “stuffing your bra” to a new extreme.

That is one happy, warm, fuzzy, contended looking little kitty. I can just hear the purring. Although I’m generally not amused by the whole “rack” aspect of things, this looks like a happy time for both kitty and the owner of the rack!

Another happy puss!

I totally vote for “Kittehs n’ Tittehs”. It actually looks like the kitty is smooshed in a butt crack. It is still funny.

Meg – Hee.

e.

hehe, AuntieMame – I hope so, too!
Kitty glow!!!

OMG, if that’s not a rack (and buhleave me, I thought about it! I’m 99.9 percent sure it’s a rack) I’m in trouble! I might have to rename the category “Kit ‘n’ buns” er something.

“Bootylicious kittehs?”

Hmmmm, the more I look at it, the more it looks like bumkitty to me too. And, uhhhhhhh, hot pink panties….. (cough)

If that’s butt cleavage, kitty is *really* wedged in there.

Cute Overload goes soft porn. Are we going to see puppies stuffed in between guys’ butt cracks next? Or maybe down the front of their Jockey’s? Women with baby beavers on their… Er, nevermind. Sorry, but this is just trashy.

Err… some things are in the eye of the beholder. Anyone seen the movie “Millions”? There’s a nice, relevant scene there…

ah well, ’tis very cute either way

Next on CO….Cats n’ Cracks!

“Cats ‘n Cracks”… oh dear oh dear… but no, people, that’s definitely the top shelf, not the back porch. And there’s no nipple either (puh-leeze) tho there *are* some sweet little paw pads (as Trish noted) and possssssibly just a hint of basic brassiere. No ifs, ands, or… well y’know.

I take it nobody’s noticed the weird arrow keys with practically their own zip code on that keyboard? (Uh huh… who but me would care?)

Ok, well maybe I’m imagining the nipple, but there is an area to the right of that kitten’s mouth/nose area that DOES look suspicious. That aside, it’s a very cute kitten. He looks an awful lot like mine…

And yes, the keyboard does seem bizarre, but I’m typing on a tiny Macintosh laptop, so what do I know? (Now I’m obsessively checking out the other items in the background of the photo…)

Can someone explain to me, though, WHY people put cats in their shirts???? I just do not understand the inclination. No matter how adorable the kitten is.

“Can someone explain to me, though, WHY people put cats in their shirts????”

Because it feels good– To have a silky warm kitty all bundled next to your skin, really soft and cuddly, especially if you love the kitty to bits. And my rack ain’t half of what’s up there!

“Can someone explain to me, though, WHY people put cats in their shirts???? I just do not understand the inclination. No matter how adorable the kitten is.”

Maybe it’s a fetish?

The appeal escapes me, too. If for no other reason, one loud noise and Ouch City.

PS. Nilla, I think it just started with one random photo of a kitty in a shirt. We don’t know why kitty was there – either from snuggling or squirming. Then someone made their own version of it and it was declared a category. It’s just for fun.

I still don’t think it’s appropriate for a family-friendly website. At least not a picture showing so much cleavage. Seems a little sexist, too, since there isn’t a male-equivalent category, but that’s just my opin. I come here to admire the cute, not women’s girly bits, even if it is topical. Or more accurately, “even if ‘they’ are topical.” Again, it’s just my opinion.

Well, Teho, if everything is a perfect match….

http://spamusement.com/index.php/comics/view/209

…meaning if the cat fits the rack, of course. Or if the hat fits the cat or if the Cat in the Hat..

me tinks me tie-tie and need to go to bed. too much CO. tuckered out…nie-night… [eyes close, slight smile] honkshu begins…

Theo, give nilla the *ass* page link of a few weeks back when we all acted like we were under 13.

now me sleep.

“I’m not sure what you’re reading, but I don’t see any claims being made about the “family-friendliness” of this website, one way or the other.”

Sorry, I guess I made that assumption based on the subject matter. Mea culpa.

I prefer “cats ‘n’ racks.” The word “titteh” is cruder and more specific than necessary. The first is referring to a general area of anatomy, but the second zeros in on individual boobies, which (to me) starts to feel like objectifying the woman rather than focusing on CUTENESS.

Theo, I don’t think the site has a responsibility to be “family friendly” but I also see Nilla’s point. It does get a little tiresome how in Western culture somehow even a site dedicated to the concept of “cuteness” (not, hopefully, a sexual concept when we’re mostly talking about baby animals and inanimate objects!) somehow comes around to focusin on breasts. I mean, I appreciate fabulous breasts but there are already a couple websites devoted to them, you know? This doesn’t offend me (and the kitten is cute) but I’d hate to see less-cute animals taking over based on boobs being in the frame.

christabean, I don’t think that’s going to happen, based on the low number of posts in this category (among other things – Meg’s good sense being the most important).

“I’d hate to see less-cute animals taking over based on boobs being in the frame.”

I can agree with that.

But please, let’s not start up the whole sexism argument again. It was ugly, and frankly I got a little tired of being lectured by a little teenage boy-brat about what I was and was not allowed to feel about sexual harassment…

And don’t objectify any other animals either. The last thing I want to be looking at on this fambly-frenzied website is some baby creature nursing from a nekkid mammal nurple. I saw a nekkid nurple once when I was an infant and I’m pretty sure it messed me up for life!

And PLEASE, let’s not start attacking other people for expressing their opinions!!!!!!!!!

Not again!!

Like the boys in the film “Millions,” I am seeing this pic as cute/maternal/cats love to snuggle. (OK, so they were talking about breasts stricly from a maternal perspective, but even so…)

Could we just stick with the cute, please? (I’m begging here!)

Actually kittens like snuggling on chests (male and female) all on their own. People-oriented cats mostly know that you’re inside your head, so they like to be up near it — and when they’re that little, a lap can seem just too far away.
And they like to have a soft, warm, secure place. Shoulders are bony, and they can slide off.
And I have never, in years — decades even — of having kittens in shirts (on top of heads, sharing pillows, whatever) had one scratch me.
This is a snuggly thing to do.
If a kitty is upset, it calms it — see “the treatment” above. Snuggle them and they just calm down.
(Oh, and the picture doesn’t seem all that family-unfriendly to me anyway. Perfectly decent pink shirt, with kitten.)

So cute!

That kitty is ME!

Kinda baffled by the “don’t go there!” responses when I have no complaints about either the picture, the site, or the opinions expressed here. Certainly not trying to fight or stir things up, or direct away from cuteness. A couple things, and then I stop beating the dead horse!

@ Nico: I wasn’t saying the picture (much less the sender) objectified women, I was referring to the word “titteh” in that sentence. I also wasn’t agreeing it was not family friendly, I only meant to say I can see where a few people in the minority position prefer breast-less kitten pictures on here.

@ Michelle: I was just saying I preferred the current category title of “Cats ‘n’ Racks,” I didn’t make any general statements about objectification. In fact I wouldn’t even make the statment that objectifying people/things is necessarily a BAD thing, that’s why we look at pictures, after all!

I’m not sure whether this is more cute or disturbing…only cat I’d even CONSIDER putting, um, there, would be a declawed one. Or a stuffed one. *Shudder*

good gracious.

1. a child isnt going to see this picture and think ‘boobies!’ its going to see it and think ‘kitty!’

2. Theres no more clevage here than any child would see in real life from their mother on a daily basis. actually, theres LESS clevage on show here than if you walked outside on a normal day. are you going to blindfold your child as they walk down the street too? just in case they see some clothed breasts and a hint of clevage?

didnt think so. This is neither indecent nor offensive. and thats to my Christian feminist ideals.

this cat looks stoned and so bloody gorjess!

*very* few things ever make me blush.

THIS PICTURE IS ONE OF THEM!

i never would have noticed the keyboard or the cigarettes, that’s for sure…

Eeek! Cuteoverload is a magical place where foals levitate, hamsters eat sushi and pups sit in papercups. There are so many other sites dedicated to the admiration of heaving mammary mounds!

Actually, this kitty looks more peeved that pleased. That half-closed eye looks squinty to me…And check out the size of that front paw – one wrong move and cat scratch fever for sure.

My Norwegian layout keyboard has arrows like that. The arrows plus the cigarette leads me to believe that cat, rack, and keyboard are all European.

Christabean, the “don’t go there” wasn’t directed specifically at you, but at future posters in general. There was nothing wrong with your post.

It’s simply that we have had several conversations blow up into cat fights (ha!) because rather than disagreeing in a mature, civilized manner, people prefer to sling putdowns.

Like “crack-squeezing biddies.”

Totally uncalled for.

wow, when i posted waaaaay earlier, i, too, had not noticed that kitteh was nuzzled in bussoms. i just noticed how incredibly sleepy and comfy kitteh was. who knew a little bit of cleavage would shake up CO world.
long live the human body, covered or uncovered. we all have the same bits.

Yeah, breasts are part of the female human anatomy. It’s normal. Not sick, not dirty. I for one would love to have a soft fluffy kitty squeezed into this exact spot in my shirt. In Africa, they hang out all unclothed and it’s no big deal. In the West…we gotta chillax.

And nix my earlier comment.

it’s funny how this has degenerated into an argument about the sexualisation of women, just days after the whole dog and baby scandal. is anybody happy these days?

I knew there had been a picture of a male rack at one point:

http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2006/02/roo_n_rack.html

They were caught stuffing ballot boxes. And racks.

I think its an older Compaq keyboard, circa `93 – `95. They had the arrow keys in the same shape/layout.

My work days would be intolerable without the PG-13 commentary.

But they might be a little more productive.

Oh, Theo, thank you for reminding me of the bitchin’ panda. My day is made.

*tilts head* Heyyyy…is that an Honor Harrington book? It kinda looks like it…but it’s really hard to tell.

Good lord, people get worked up over boobies. Kittehs and tittehs: I cracked up so hard! I agree kids are going to look at this photo and think: kitty! Heck, I looked at this photo and thought: comfy keeeyute kitteh! And then I was sad that no kitten will ever be that comfies snuggling with me, because I don’t have a rack like that . As for PG-13 qualities of the comments, somehow I doubt any innocent children will be reading these comments anyway.

Pictures like these evoke feelings of comfort and maternity, not straight nookie nookie sexuality. For me, anyway. Hugs often involve breasts! That’s why I like hugging my female friends: nice, warm, squeeeeeshy happy hugs. And that’s coming from a happily straight woman. As a child, weren’t you ever hugged by a very bosom-y woman? Ooooh warm comfort enveloping numness. When we snorgle cute young’uns, we instinctually bring them close to our chest. It’s because it feels goooooooood to them

looks like the kitten in ‘VITAMIN K’..

Reigning cat of my apt. unfortunately likes to sit on my chest while I’m sleeping. Not exactly comfortubuls for me! The idea that she wants to “suck out my brains” is unsettling…

Well, I don’t think anyone here has a problem with breasts being “rude” or “inappropriate”, just that CO should not be about gratuitous tit-display… and this pic is on the verge of that, to me personally. It just seems like a crass common denominator overused to promote anything… and this site is better than that. It is not about being feminist, politically correct or prude; just about a wish to avoid the crudeness of the ogling of breasts… But hey ho, who really cares -after all, it IS a nice rack, and the little kitty is GORGEOUS! Happy Friday, people.

I love gray kitties. It looks so comfortable in it’s rack bed )

For those of us “not so vavoomy” we can have a category “cats-n-flats”!

….next we’ll be seeing “turtles-n-girdles” and “hammies-n-jammies” P

I say as long as the women remain appropriately dressed, this is all good, innocent fun. Kitteh being all nestled and comforted is perfectly natural.

The first time Cute O posts a picture of a dominatrix with a cat ‘twixt the boobies, then everyone can justifiably throw a collective fit.

It’s really the people who are so closed-minded that have made it so that breast-feeding women feel they have to hide in a bathroom stall to feed when they’re in a public place.

To me, the Cats n’ Racks photos celebrate feminity in its purest and most natural form, by showing how the breasts function in nature as a source of comfort and care.

Svenster–
I now have coffee up my nose, and it’s all your fault.
“Talk to me, not my kitten.”
Now I’ve scared off my own cat, sitting here making snorting noises…

Ya know…I think that only the people who are offended are the ones who are actually thinking in that direction.

However, I would find a cats-n-racks picture featuring a corset to be terribly, terribly amusing. (sad but true)

Theo – for the record, I consider Meg’s captioning to be part of the commentary on the picture. For all you first poster’s, take that! Meg ALWAYS gets the first word.

EDIT: I meant REGIONAL or cultural

My parents didn’t teach me to say “titty” either; that word would have gotten me sent to my room, just like “ass”. They were just “breasts,” we didn’t have a cutesy slang word. When I was older, “boobs” or “boobies” was considered an acceptable slang reference, but “tits” was still verboten. Even today I think of “tits” and “titties” as a more crude/tacky or derogatory term than “boobs,” although I would be hard pressed to explain why!

Likewise, “pee” was considered an acceptable term from a child, but “piss” was not. Funny how some words push our buttons and some don’t, isn’t it?

ElfOwl… [ahem] If you want to split whiskers, there’ve been a few times, now, that the “first words” as you put it have either been Sparkster’s, or hello_ace’s, or mine, or (I think?) Fiv3r’s. And that’s not counting any of the times Meg has quoted the submitters’ own words.

You *should* be able to say that without being slammed, nilla, but ten bucks says you’ll be mincemeat by Monday…

Now if I could just get a few folks to take me up on the wager. I’d be rich and then I could retire.

Alexis –

Took me 5, maybe 10 seconds.

[looks around]
Might be just the end-of-Friday lull, but it looks to me like maaaaaybe folks stopped arguing about this a while ago.
[arches one eyebrow each at Nilla and AuntieM]

HI, CARLISA!!
Great ideas for cutegories.

teeheehee – and I wonder why I don’t get any work done!

Theo, where did you get hold of a pic of Madonna with a kitty down her blouse?!?

(And I can hope that I’ve bored everyone out of inciting any more flames…)

This is why you’re not the moderator, ChaCha.

yeah but the arguments are frigging dumb.

The current conversation is entirely your doing, Theo.

*raises eyebrow at Theo*

I feel compelled to point out that a “cats and racks” picture makes me feel warm and squeeshies and maternal huggles inside, but a “mutts and guy butts” picture would probably make me want to throw up a little definitely no feelings of comfyness evoked there. Babies, human and not human, like to nestle in warm, soft bosoms. Though a photo of the aftermath of a guy who tried to get a cat to snuggle in his buttcheeks would be amusing but then again, this is CuteOverload, not BloodOverload

Oh SNAP! I tried to hold my kitteh in my blouse and he fell on the floor ( I think I need to get some “cup” holders or suspenders.

Hey…Hey! Jaypo! Snorgles your way )

Is it that hard to believe that people like to put cute little warm animals inside their shirts for a cuddle?
I have a hamster and usually when I sit in front of the computer, I would put her on my lap where she just burrows her little nose in my shorts and fall asleep. =D it’s COMFORTABLE! For both of us. ^^ in fact she’s on my lap right now haha
*stays away from the ’sexist’ arguement because that one is just messy*

The trouble with pups n pecs is that they won’t stay put.
Kitties really do naturally end up on chests.
Like babies.
It’s a more-or-less natural carrying position.
Carlisa, you need to give him something to tuck into for security — that’s why the pink top is stretchy and tight.
If you don’t have something knitted and tight, try tying the bottom of the shirt to make a sort of a sack.

Lovely round industrial thingys, with kitty?

oh god i shot diet coke out of my nose at Kittehs and Titties…then puss ‘n’ boobs finished me off. Thanks for a great laugh.

Lauo — thanks, that was a quickie. Finding a pic of just the right kind of structure was the hard part.

Let’s make a new catagory, cats and cracks

I just took a picture of my hamster sleeping between my clothed *gasp* breasts. (i was lying down) But now i’m a bit reluntant to send it in because people will start to critize my chest. LOL.

hey not cool!

Seeing this stuff ruins the cuteness. If people wanted to look up a rack on the internet, they could. I don’t want to see it here, totally gross and NSFW. I open this page assuming it will be SFW.

Theo, I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. XD Thank you.

*jaw drops* I cant believe I missed that. Why didn’t it occur to me to click on that thumbnail. :X

I died once to the cuteness, and I could not recover due to the unfair second round of attractive-celebrity-cuddling-doggie-cuteness.

OK, this has made my year. I know the perfect contributor for pups and pecs. I will as him to share.

Voice of Reason: how exactly is that NSFW? She’s not naked; would it be NSFW if she walked into your office? You need to get a sense of humor.

Kara: those are breasts, not knees. Come on.

Sari, that’s brassiere you’re looking at. Any nipple would “over the horizon” in this shot.
You’re not really a girl, are you. (Stupid internet.)

And by the way, if you’re afraid of your kids being traumatized by a simple shot of a part of human anatomy… i suggest you raise them NOT to hate the human figure. But that’s just me.

I think thats really a picture of someones butt in a low rear cut dress!

breast milk.

Hahaha….. I am a girl. Surprise! Life is so unpredictable.

Ok.
there is NO need for rude comments… this is CUTE OVERLOAD there is no room for rude people.
for those of you who think that is an ass.. it isnt
those are indeed my boobs. so get over it . its not an ass and its not “knees” do you think i can tuck my knees into my shirt while jumping 6 feet in the air and balancing a sleepy kitten in my shirt.?? didn’t think so .
It is a chest.. you don’t like it don’t look.. its not that big of a deal.. i posted it because the cat was cute and i have nice boobs.
he wasnt uncomfortable.. he was purring and was extremely happy.. and he has NEVER scratched me.. ever.
that is all.

oh and by the way, for those idiots, they ARE her boobs, this girl has one of the best racks EVER. I’d kill to be snuggled in those

I just viewed your page, and your kitten looks just like my cat, Delena, when she was 6-8 weeks old. I know this is cats n racks but your kitty is so cute!

Arkansas.
Sassafrass.
Appomattox.
Assy assity asses assing.

that pic is sooo gross.poor kitty! but the ironic thing is the cat seems to be enjoying itself!

it seriously bothers me that nobody sees the nipple. it’s not dark at all because she’s pale (and not aroused) but it’s there. i’m not offended by nipples, but those belonging to people on cuteoverload? yeah, not expecting that.
