A puppys’ gotta eat

by Meg on September 27, 2006

Here’s the story: a cat named Ms. Kitty had kittens but lost the litter. A pup named Smoochie had puppies but is less than interested in her litter. Ms. Kitty adopts Smoochie’s pups.

Oh, and the cat’s owner is seen poking around under a trailer for some reason.

I love trailer park stories, Mindy M.

AAAWWWWW what a good momcat! Just further proof that CATS RULE.

2 Theo 09.27.06 at 3:03 pm

Whoa… now THAT’S fostering.

3 housecat 09.27.06 at 3:07 pm

Head just exploded for the umpteenth time!

4 Catman Dude 09.27.06 at 3:08 pm

I actually was about to tear up at the giving of the Mom-cat of herself to the pups. Awwwwwww-some!

5 ShelleyTambo 09.27.06 at 3:08 pm

Cute, really, but get that dog spayed.

6 Wendy 09.27.06 at 3:09 pm

Oh how precious!

7 Aoife 09.27.06 at 3:10 pm

Yay for mom cat … but that dog is on an awfully short chain, and I’m not seeing any water or food for her within reach.

8 maymee 09.27.06 at 3:12 pm

Maymeemaymee? Heh. You can just call me Maymee.
And oh yeah, FIRST POST!

9 Jess 09.27.06 at 3:15 pm

That’s adorable. But yeah, the dog needs to be fixed.

10 jaypo 09.27.06 at 3:17 pm

That momcat is l-o-v-e.

11 martha in mobile 09.27.06 at 3:19 pm

Doggie AND Kitty need to be spayed. Maddie’s Fund!

12 Anastasia 09.27.06 at 3:31 pm

Oh.. That was so adorable I almost started crying at work! Gosh..

13 el bucko 09.27.06 at 3:35 pm

awesome kitty, feckless dog, dumb reporter.

the setting is uber trailer-parky. cool! and kudos to the lady pokin’ around under the trailer, who i think is adjusting the kitty’s home to make it more spacious or stable or something.

14 A thinker 09.27.06 at 3:38 pm

Saw this one before.

Cats are TEH AWESOME.

15 rebecca 09.27.06 at 3:41 pm

Ack, it was almost unspeakably cute. I personally love how the puppies were all over the momma cat, as if life for them wouldn’t be complete unless they were spread out all over her fluffitude.

Meanwhile, I had to watch this with sound off thanks to grumpy sleepers at my home, but it’s just as well. Instead of reporter voices, I put in cute puppy “whuffling” sounds as they crawled around.

16 ShelleyTambo 09.27.06 at 3:41 pm

Yes, both doggie and kitty need to be fixed; however, doggy could and should be done now (especially since she doesn’t want to take care of her younguns). The vet would probably want to wait on kitty until the puppies have been weaned.

17 Theo 09.27.06 at 3:44 pm

Maymee — When you *happen* to get FP when you actually have something topical to say, then I’m fine w/it. Do your Snoopy Dance or whatever. You’re golden.

It’s the GRATUITOUS “First! First! Lookit meeee I gots nuthin butt at least I’m FIRST!” variety of comments that irritate me.

18 Rhea Harding 09.27.06 at 3:48 pm

this is beyond heart warming. thank you for sharing! it really made my day.

19 TheLoveOfIsis 09.27.06 at 3:50 pm

Ok. C.O. just keeps getting cuter. You don’t think it can happen, and then it does.

20 Cerise 09.27.06 at 3:51 pm

I’d forgotten how puppies sort of wail and groan and squeak all the time. We must nibble them, Precious.

And that beautiful Queen with the biscuit-making and the squeezy, happy eyes…

21 Kelly Mc 09.27.06 at 3:54 pm

I love how Mama is hugging the baby at the end of the video.

22 catdog 09.27.06 at 4:03 pm

The mamma cat ‘lost’ her litter? Did they die? All of them? Were they taken away too early? Just wondering – I aint never owned a cat.

23 maymee 09.27.06 at 4:03 pm

*grabs Teho and snoopy dances*
*giggles*

24 Theo 09.27.06 at 4:10 pm

Hey HEY! [spilling mocha] …try’na WORK here.

(OK, so I’m not trying very hard.)

25 fruityoaty 09.27.06 at 4:15 pm

That’s just so unbelievably cute! I love this site!

26 Redzilla 09.27.06 at 4:20 pm

A “news” segment which is disturbing on a number of levels…but cuz I ain’t a Nuffingham, I am only going to think about how incredibly happy and content momma kitty looks with her adopted babies squirming all over her.

27 Tamamiko 09.27.06 at 4:30 pm

i was wondering when this was going to be posted.

28 you guys r silly 09.27.06 at 4:36 pm

CURSE this damned work computer where I’m UNABLE to view any kewt videos….
&:o(

29 blueberries4me 09.27.06 at 4:37 pm

okay, I just love stories like these. It doesn’t look like that dog chain was attached to the tree rather it was on a leash. Ms.Kitty carrying the puppy in her mouth is too frickin adorable. Especially with all the squirmy squirm happening.

30 ceebs 09.27.06 at 4:37 pm

oh, I wanna cry, that was so sweet!!! The little baby squee, squee, squee, and how happy mama kitteh looked! I felt kinda bad for the dog though, I don’t know that a cocker spaniel is a “tied up outside” kind of a dog.
Did that lady keep her luggage under that trailer?
:-$

31 Marianne Moore 09.27.06 at 4:46 pm

First off yes very cute.. But that lady should be bitch slapped. There was no food, no water, and that rope or whaterver was tied around her dogs neck was waaaaayy to short she couldnt even get in her doghouse.. And yes Cocker Spanials ARE NOT OUTSIDE dogs.. that why she keeps trying to run away you dumb hoe.

32 Cheryl :) 09.27.06 at 4:54 pm

That was darling, but I hope she gets them fixed so this doesn’t happen again. Where is the ASPCA??

33 Teughcats 09.27.06 at 4:54 pm

Wow, do we still have that kitten handy from the commentroversy the other day? I think Marianne could use a good whiff of teh qte. Too much coffee, hon?

34 chacha 09.27.06 at 4:57 pm

Spay spay spay. All three adult females in the video.
[runs away]

35 Monica 09.27.06 at 5:01 pm

I lurved how the momcat looked so content with her big swarm of puppies, each one almost the size of her.

36 lisa 09.27.06 at 5:05 pm

Very cute, but SPAY and NEUTER!

37 Aubrey 09.27.06 at 5:06 pm

OK, since I am at work, though I’m being useless in a huge, almost Biblical sense, I haven’t put the sound on, but I can guess the gist. And I’m with Redz, there are problems, but there also be cuteness and fluffiness, and squirminess and puppiness and kittiness and happiness so I’ll keep mum about the moms.

Teughie, that was one intense kitteh! What kind of ‘nip did you use? (takes one more snorgle and passes it on)

38 fawn lust 09.27.06 at 5:07 pm

so sweet! are those puppies getting enough nutrition from uh, cat milk though?

39 Renee 09.27.06 at 5:08 pm

Miss Kitty is gorgeous and she’s such a devoted mother. I’m sure it can’t be easy shlepping those puppies up inside that trailer.

40 Tracey 09.27.06 at 5:12 pm

WTG kitty mom!!

41 Mel 09.27.06 at 5:17 pm

I’m with chacha. (run away)

42 Paul 09.27.06 at 5:20 pm

Oh my god, that poor dog!

43 jaypo 09.27.06 at 5:24 pm

45 Blue 09.27.06 at 5:33 pm

Ah, trailer trash…

The dog would probably stop running away if she was spayed and if she was kept in the house (uhhh….trailer?) with the family.

Inbred hillbillies…not cute.

46 Aubrey 09.27.06 at 5:35 pm

No probs…hey, wanna go to the high school auditorium tonight for the midnight showing of ‘Meeper Madness’?

o:

Welcome to the jungle.

47 Blue 09.27.06 at 5:35 pm

Also a response to ShelleyTambo I think – the cat can be spayed now, she will continue to lactate even after being spayed.

I highly doubt ANY of these animals will be sterilized however and the cycle will just continue.

48 Peggy 09.27.06 at 5:39 pm

To bad mom lives on a chain – that is horrible.

49 Courtney 09.27.06 at 5:42 pm

Anyone notice that the woman’s haircut is the same as the dog’s?

Love love love the squirmin’ puppy in momma cat’s mouf. So cute!!!

50 Theo 09.27.06 at 5:43 pm

Peggy — whose mom? Mine doesn’t…

Blue’s ass, this is my foot. Foot, meet Blue’s ass.
I’ll just hop along now & let you two get acquainted.

51 Gryph 09.27.06 at 5:54 pm

I must say I’m dismayed by the extreme negativity here lately. Instead of thinking about how AMAZING (and it is amazing) it is that this cat was able to recover from losing her little AND save a little from an entirely different species, so many people seem to have only negative comments to share.

I rarely comment, because with the clever words of people like Theo and Aubrey filling the comments, anything I have to say is just so much squeeing. I would like to suggest to people however, to keep in mind that while you are sitting there calling people hos, and insulting them based on the fact that they live in a trailer, none of us can know all of the circumstances of another person’s situation.

There is nothing wrong with commenting on social issues at large, but judging another person, or your fellow posters with such limited knowledge as generally accompanies these posts adds nothing. This is not an admonition to “shut up and enjoy the cute” but rather, an encouragement to think before you post about what your comment adds to the conversation. There is plenty of negativity in the world. Why not make a positive contribution instead?

I hope I have not overstepped my bounds in posting this, but reading the comments from several recent posts compelled me to speak my mind.

52 Theo 09.27.06 at 5:57 pm

Wow… actual substance.

Wayyyy Cool. As an owner of a

Lucille….I truly adore this story.

54 Theo 09.27.06 at 6:00 pm

One small note, though… just a note-let, really… Gryph, I think your spell-checker might be a wee bit overzealous. (I think “little” = “litter”)

[sigh]
Can’t help myself. Hate to see an otherwise excellent comment blemished.

55 Gryph 09.27.06 at 6:02 pm

Theo, can I update a comment? *grumble stupid spell check grumble*

56 Theo 09.27.06 at 6:06 pm

You don’t KNOW how many times I’ve wished I could do that, with my own stuff.

57 Kim 09.27.06 at 6:09 pm

Are you insane?? What’s cute about this?

The way the chirpy announcer frames this tragedy (all of the kittens died, the cat’s health is going to be severely compromised by nursing puppies, and every single one of those pups is going to die in a week or so when their need for milk outpaces the cat’s ability to produce it) makes me ill.

Every cute little puppy that you see on the screen is dead by now, rotting in the ground. There’s a litter of dead kittens somewhere out there, too. And the cat and the dog are probably both pregnant again. Aww, shucks.

58 Gryph 09.27.06 at 6:12 pm

Theo – well, it was worth a shot. :)

59 Theo 09.27.06 at 6:12 pm

You don’t KNOW how many times I’ve wished all the little kitties and puppies weren’t dead and rotting and pregnant because Kim said so.

60 Cerise 09.27.06 at 6:16 pm

Gryph, ditto and never, NEVER deprive us of another squee. Please? For me?

Kim, Erin, whoever else. No one wants you here. Can you please just go away? Please? For me? For Baby Jesus?

61 Shannon 09.27.06 at 6:18 pm

First of all – How happy is Momma Kitty with her new pups. Um kittens. puppens????

Secondly – SPAY your pets WOMAN!!! (Sorry Gryph – I agree with you, but it has to be said) That dog is not in great shape (look at her coat). That may not be her normal place to live – but I bet it is. Spaying her (well both of them) will keep her from running off. ANd she may be too young to know what to do with the pups in the first place. Chained dogs become societal problems.

Cute cute cute tho!

62 Theo 09.27.06 at 6:20 pm

I might argue that UN-chained dogs can also become societal problems.

63 Shannon, again 09.27.06 at 6:22 pm

Umm Kim – thanks for that? What a pleasant mental image. Uncalled for and unwanted.

64 Kim H. 09.27.06 at 6:23 pm

Y’know, if mama cat does run short of milk (and I am not convinced she will, as the mammary gland is an amazing thing and works on supply-and-demand), there are these amazing inventions known as baby animal nursing bottles. And even people who live in trailers ought to be able to figure out how to use them. I bet mama and puppies are doing just fine.

Just for the record, MY mama used to live in a trailer. And I turned out okay. She’s got better hair than this lady though…

65 Cerise 09.27.06 at 6:23 pm

So…you think that lady is reading these comments? ‘Cause if I were her I’d've run off when previous commenters called me Trash and made fun of my hair.

66 Shannon 09.27.06 at 6:24 pm

Theo – Why the white house link? I must be missing something. And well sure, anything and anyone can become a societal problem. But people are just beginning to realize what chaining dogs can do to them. Thats all I was saying.

67 Cerise 09.27.06 at 6:25 pm

Kim H., that hair thing was NOT aimed at you. No one said it’s a good style decision on Miss Kitty’s mom’s part. Nope.

68 Lisa 09.27.06 at 6:32 pm

SO what happened to the Mommacat’s kittens? When they say lost her litter.. do they mean they died? Poor Mommacat :(
But it’s so cute how she’s taking care of the puppies. Loved it when she picked of the squiggling puppy :P lol Definitely doesn’t go all limp and helpless like a kitten would lol.

69 Kim H. 09.27.06 at 6:34 pm

Cerise, I figured you were pointing that gun at some earlier commments…

This is a simple person without a lot of education and without a lot of money. Easy for us to say, “Spay your pets” or “don’t have ‘em if you can’t take care of ‘em”, and sometimes that does need to be said. But these critters may be this lady’s only companions. Perhaps they were given to her or dumped on her, and she just never quite got up the funds to get them altered, hoping for the best. A lot of people live that way. When one is poor, one tries not to think about what might go wrong.

We shouldn’t stop trying to educate pet owners through media channels, and we can all help pet owners GET them spayed/neutered… and we can support local laws that do remove the truly neglected animals. But name-calling isn’t very useful.

70 A thinker 09.27.06 at 6:44 pm

Man, whoever said that about commentroversy coming in waves sure had that right…

71 Cerise 09.27.06 at 6:48 pm

Quite right, Kim H.

73 Koneko 09.27.06 at 6:49 pm

I second that, Kim.

74 Phyllis 09.27.06 at 6:50 pm

I’m sorry that some folks think we should all just sit back and “enjoy the cute” (which is what we’re usually priviledged to do on CO — Meg is awesome!!), but this sad little movie does indeed have Spay/Neuter Your Pet written all over it. No fun to watch, and excruciating to listen to. I have nothing personal against the lady, but it hurts to think about those animals having litter after litter after litter in the dirt…

I’m a huge fan of this site. I tell people about its wonderfulness all the time.

But sometimes you just gotta say what’s on your mind.

Thank you.

Phyllis

75 kimchi 09.27.06 at 6:57 pm

am i the only person who is unable to view this?

76 Kim 09.27.06 at 6:58 pm

Kim H., do you seriously believe that a woman who treats her animals the way she does would exert the huge amount of effort it takes to hand-raise puppies?

Do you think she’s going to get up every three to four hours ’round the clock to feed them and stimulate their elimination processes? Weigh them on a kitchen scale to ensure that they’re growing properly? Get them medical care if they develop gastroenteritis as so many hand-raised pups do?

Of course not. Those pups are dead, and there’s absolutely nothing cute about that.

77 ShelleyTambo 09.27.06 at 7:04 pm

Blue, the problem is not whether she’ll continue to lactate, it’s whether the babies can go at least one day without her. Most kittens will be fine overnight, but many vets prefer to wait until either the milk has stopped or the babies have started eating solid food. If there are comlications with the surgery, it could cause serious problems for the babies. Same if mama is sensitive about the incision site. After my cat was spayed, if she thought I was even looking at her belly, she lunged at me. Maybe she would be been different for her kittens…

78 Martha in Washington 09.27.06 at 7:07 pm

We used to have a St. Bernard that would “babysit” our barn cats’ kittens to the point where the mama cat would take them away and hide the kittens! The dog (Ringo) would go get them and bring them back to the box on the porch. It was hysterically funny to watch the mama and the Babysitter carry the kitties back and forth. The mama would usually just give up and leave the kittens where the dog could watch them.

79 AuntieMame 09.27.06 at 7:15 pm

I haven’t looked at the video yet myself, because I’m at work, but Kim, you are skating dangerously close to condemning an entire group of people (those who live in trailer communities) by painting them all with a single, narrow-minded, stereotype brush.

You do not know anything about her. You would do well to refrain from judging her.

80 maymee 09.27.06 at 7:18 pm

Squee away, Gryph, squee away.

81 Cerise 09.27.06 at 7:23 pm

AuntieMame, the puppies squee. For realsies.

Dangerously close? I fink she crossed the lahn, honeh.

82 Pillow 09.27.06 at 7:29 pm

I’m with Phyllis on this one, that dog (as well as the kitty) should be spayed…the comment on having to chain her up so she doesn’t run off and get pregnant again really drives the point home. And also, I’m really not sure those puppies have half a chance at life, when they get too big for the cat to handle there might be dire consequences unless someone steps in. Which isn’t likely.

This is awful…prime “Cute Or Sad” material.

83 bomp 09.27.06 at 7:31 pm

the momcat is gorgeous!stretchy splayed feets and all.

84 Kelly 09.27.06 at 7:34 pm

Kim, did it ever even remotely occur to you that if the pup’s health started to fail she’d take them to an animal hospital rather than keeping them and watching them waste away? Stop being so flippin’ morbid. It takes an entirely different level of negligence to allow pets to starve when you could easily hand them over to people more able to give them the care they need and there’s NOTHING – I repeat NOTHING – in that video to insinuate that this woman would let things get to that point. Is she a bit careless? Maybe. Is she a little ignorant about pet care? Possibly. Does that mean she’d watch puppies die once it became clear they were not being properly nourished? Gimme a freakin break. That’s a helluva leap.

85 Subhangi 09.27.06 at 7:35 pm

AWWWWWWWWW. Go, Miss Kitty! With you all the way, girl! (The reporter was a little irritating though…)

I LOVE trailers!!! Sooo exciting!!!

[scrolls down]

Oh GOD, not again.

[repeats hypnotically to herself]

I did not see the comments … I DID NOT see the comments …

[tries to hold in her puke]

[fails]

Jeez, I’d better keep my troll-repellent ready when I next log in.

86 Kelly 09.27.06 at 7:37 pm

In fact…I’d put all my money on it that within a week after that news story was released, someone in her area with a bit more savy made her aware of the dangers and encouraged her to give the puppies to foster care.

So, 100% chance they are NOT dead. Lighten up.

87 Pillow 09.27.06 at 7:37 pm

Wow, Kelly, calm down…I’m sure Kim didn’t mean anything overly harsh by it. I’m sure all that was insinuated was, and I agre epartially on the matter, is maybe since she may not be properly educated on pet care, she might not even recognize the early stages of malnutrition or starvation if it DID get to that point. :/ that’s one reason I can’t stand the show this clip is taken from, they really don’t offer any valid updates on the animals featured on their show.

88 Kim 09.27.06 at 7:39 pm

I’m interested to read where I mentioned this woman’s socioeconomic status. Please point it out.

89 ShelleyTambo 09.27.06 at 7:42 pm

Pillow, actually segments like this often air on local news, so it’s entirely possible that a rescue organization became aware of the situation–and hopefully directed her toward a low-cost or free spay/neuter program so the situation doesn’t arise again.

90 martha in mobile 09.27.06 at 7:42 pm

That’s why I mentioned Maddie’s fund! All you need is a medicaid card and $5 to have your pet spayed at a participating vet. Because even we toofless trailer trash* need pets to love.

*I was trailer trash in college.

91 Allie and Jojo's Mom 09.27.06 at 7:53 pm

For the love of the tiny baby Jesus people!!!! If you don’t like what you see you can use that little arrow and go and hit that little red button in the corner and GO THE HELL AWAY!! This website is for people who enjoy all things cute. If you’d rather think of dead rotting thing, I’m sure there’s a fethish website that’s perfect for you. Yes, people should spay and neuter their pets. There should also be more no-kill shelters with unlimited funding, world peace, and mandatory sterelization for people like Kim, but there’s not!Tough Tacos!! When was the last time you funded a shelter or donated money for free spay/nueter services? Just enjoy the squirmy puppies and the happy mommas and the joy that is poofy bangs.

*whew*

PS – I apologize for the blatent miuse of my ! button.

92 Allie and Jojo's Mom 09.27.06 at 7:55 pm

Wow. Sorry for the manifesto. That diatribe was a lot shorter in my head. I think I was just possesed by Michael Moore. ‘Could be worse though…

93 Pillow 09.27.06 at 7:55 pm

Poofy bangs are not joyful! :p

94 shanchan 09.27.06 at 7:56 pm

So….

I’ve only been checking this site for about 6 months or so: has Meg made up a word for the sound little puppies make when they’re nursing? I know she must have the perfect term.

And look at the tail on that kitty! Gorgeous!

95 lauowolf 09.27.06 at 7:58 pm

May I please just say. “Squeeee.”
Best momma cat ever.
(And a hearty round of
“LALALALALA, I can’t hear you”
for all those folks who have so much contempt they’ve never met.)

96 Pillow 09.27.06 at 7:59 pm

I always called that sound “Snurfling” back when my own kitty was a baby and would suckle my nose (he was found behind a dumpster and wasn’t weaned yet, he still suckles my nose to this day <3 ). That vid is definitely full of snurfles.

97 Cerise 09.27.06 at 8:03 pm

‘S OK, A & J’s mum. Since I agree with you and all…

98 Allie and Jojo's Mom 09.27.06 at 8:08 pm

Thanks for the support Cerise.

Teho – sorry in advance for all the grammatical and spelling errors I’m sure I made.

99 ShelleyTambo 09.27.06 at 8:08 pm

I agree, too, A & J’s mom, although in Kim’s defense, she’s not the one who brought up socioeconomic status. To those who did, get a clue and check out the people who surrender their pets to shelters. The number of people who obviously have the ability and just as obviously choose not to care for their animals properly may surprise you (at least at my shelter–can’t speak for everywhere)–as opposed to this woman, who probably can’t afford it and isn’t aware of programs that could help her. To say that this is typical of “trailer trash”–and thus imply that it’s not typical of others–is ridiculous.

100 Kim 09.27.06 at 8:12 pm

Yeah, I should be sterilized for not thinking that cases of neglect are cute.

I have spent the past decade working with animals, and I’ve seen situations like this far, far too often to find anything cute about it or to be able to fool myself into thinking that a miracle happened and those pups are okay.

Y’all are heartless.

101 Cerise 09.27.06 at 8:15 pm

You’re right. We don’t give a sh*t about the plight of mistreated animals everywhere and hate those who do. You should go, for your own good.

102 Allie and Jojo's Mom 09.27.06 at 8:15 pm

Ok – I’m from the South – Alabama, specifically – and I dislike the social streotypes associated with Trailers. That said, this isn’t a potical form. I’t about teh Qte. Enjoy the snurfling. And my beef with Kim was the whole “dead and rotting” kick she seemed to be on. Just keep thoughts like that to yourself please.

103 Theo 09.27.06 at 8:15 pm

Kim, Kim, Kim… do ya *hear* ya’self?

104 Allie and Jojo's Mom 09.27.06 at 8:17 pm

Ok – who am I to just be spouting off orders like a regular. I’m going back to Stuff On My Cat and will return to merely lurking my way around CO.

105 Theo 09.27.06 at 8:19 pm

’sokay, A&J’s Mom. The “regulars” spout because spouting is what makes us regulars.

106 Allie and Jojo's Mom 09.27.06 at 8:34 pm

So does that mean I have an official ‘Teho seal of approval’? I like puddin.

107 Pillow 09.27.06 at 8:41 pm

STUFFONMYCAT.COM!!!!!!!! YES!!!!

108 ka9q's wife 09.27.06 at 8:41 pm

OK OK I have this visual of the usual posters to CO sitting in a huge circle and huffing and snorgling baby mammals. ooooo dude don’t bogart that kitteh. Pass it this way. Sooner or later it’s going to be the Huffingtons and and Nuffingtons.
*Takes a deep huff off of a passing puppeh and sends it over to Mariser.*

109 Laurie C 09.27.06 at 8:43 pm

“spouting is what makes us regulars”

Or does it just make us regular? Along with the large doses of Nuffage?

110 Kate 09.27.06 at 8:43 pm

Can I have a puppy to huff, please? I like kittings but they don’t agree with me.

111 Pillow 09.27.06 at 8:45 pm

Dude.

It’s all about the kittings.

*goes to glomp her own kitteh*

112 Ann F. 09.27.06 at 8:46 pm

I kinda like “whehrk” as the noise a squeaking puppy makes.

It’d be fascinating to know what goes on inside an animal’s head when it adopts cross-species. Heck, fascinating to know what goes inside an animal’s head during any situation, but particularly when it does something that’s not part of its usual eat, protect territory, breed routine. Is it mere confusion about what species the baby is? Is it a biological response to the same general traits that turn humans on, the disproportionately big eyes, big head, and squeaky voices? Is it a conscious compassion that animals can feel?

Who knows…

Morons. The woman AND the stupid, smary camera crew.

To those of you who think the woman will rush the pups to the vet if they start to fail …. excuse me, this is an owner who cannot be bothered (or afford, if some of you are to be believed) to even neuter her pets, instead leaving them to get knocked-up and add to the population of unwanted animals. This is a woman who makes an indoor dog live outside in hot weather on a goddamned SHORT CHAIN with little access to food, water or shelter. This is basically your common or garden ignorant TWIT who may very well express extreme sentiment toward her pets but demonstably does nothing to help them live full and healthy lives. People can love their pets and also be extremely irresponsible pet owners who end up causing more pain and suffering to their charges.

115 Pillow 09.27.06 at 8:50 pm

Hehe it’s a snurfle fest. ^-^;;

And I can tell you EXACTLY what goes on through the head of my kitten about 90% of the time:

“Food. Mommy. Food me. Food. Mommy. Food? Me?

Food…? Foo….zzzzzzzzz”

116 Allie and Jojo's Mom 09.27.06 at 8:51 pm

Does anyone have a Hammie to huff on? I’m kinda on a hammie kick these days?

118 Allie and Jojo's Mom 09.27.06 at 8:54 pm

My kittehs usual inner dialouge goues like this – “I’m hungry. Where’s momma? Momma I’m hungry. Whatcha got? Can I eat that? Hey what’s this shiny thing. I wonder if I could destroy that. I’m hungry.”

PS – Am I only one who thinks that maybe the doggers is chained up like that so she won’t bother all the vistitors?

lol and A&J’s mom, that’s pretty much the essense of Cattitude for you XD I’m pretty sure my baby orange tabby has plans for world domination.

Until he gets distracted by yet another shiny, fluffy and/or delicious object.

123 Cerise 09.27.06 at 9:04 pm

Thank you, Pillow. Thank you. [bows]

128 Aubrey 09.27.06 at 9:10 pm

HEY YOU KIDS!!! Why aren’t you at school? And is that purring coming from under that door?

(sounds of frantic window opening)

129 Cerise 09.27.06 at 9:11 pm

You know, Aubrey. Kids these days. I’m almost happy they’re huffing kittens, honestly. Other kids are huffing puppies, rats, pandas…kittens really ARE the gateway drug.

130 Aubrey 09.27.06 at 9:15 pm

Only if they’re outdoor kitters.

131 Pillow 09.27.06 at 9:16 pm

LOL Aubrey!!!!!!!

132 AuntieMame 09.27.06 at 9:16 pm

H and the rest of you complainers, you do not *know* any of that stuff about that woman. The video was TWO MINUTES and TWENTY-NINE SECONDS long, fer cryin’ out loud. That’s hardly a basis for claiming that you have figured out her economic status, her mental condition, or her opinions on animal care.

How do you know that she doesn’t keep the dog in the house most of the time, but just put it on the chain so the camera crew could film it?

I looked at the video at last, and I did not see one damn thing that would justify any of anyone’s criticisms.

So shut it already.

133 Theo 09.27.06 at 9:17 pm

Well I was going to make a Dell joke… y’know, as opposed to Gateway…

Honestly, it’s like being so distracted by the beauty of a water bong that you’re unable to take a hit. Come on! Don’t LOOK at the kitteh, huff it.

146 Cerise 09.27.06 at 9:35 pm

Don’t dwell on its super-ultra-cute name, either.

147 Pillow 09.27.06 at 9:38 pm

Hehehe. *passes him along*

154 good old whatshername 09.27.06 at 9:51 pm

Yay for the cuteness, and I’m glad that Mama Cat has stepped up to the plate, but between the politics, the class prejudice and the general morbidity, I think this thread has pretty much cured me of reading past the pictures. Theo, Aubrey et al. notwithstanding.

155 ka9q's wife 09.27.06 at 9:51 pm

lay him down on some pillows and just keep an eye on him. The good thing about snorgling kittehs is if everyone takes their allergy meds no one gets hurt. Or alternately if you need him to come out of it fast put some peanut butter on his cheeks and let a few great danes lick it off.

*snorgles deeply and lays back to enjoy the rush…well first brushes fur from my lips.*

156 Theo 09.27.06 at 9:58 pm

[bubbles abruptly pop, in unison]
Eeww. I won’t be needing any Great Dane baths, thankyouverymuch. And no peanut butter within 100 yards, it’s in the restraining order.

157 ka9q's wife 09.27.06 at 10:04 pm

I love the stereotypes about southerners. Inbred. Hillbillies.
Actually Hillbillies although for a long time denied the education that they deserved had a proud heritage. Most of the Hillbillies descended from Scotch and Irish immigrants who came over in the 17th century and settled in the hills at some point. They preserved the traditions and the language patterns of their heritage. Funny I find calling people ethnic names or names based on their geographic location to be far more ignorant than someone whose culture is different. And trust me the US is a big place and the culture changes from region to region.
me-who has family who came over from Ireland in 1753 and who also has family in pretty much every region of the states.

158 ka9q's wife 09.27.06 at 10:05 pm

your hatred and righteous indignation are disgusting. yes, there are millions of people in this world who do not care for their animals — or children, for that matter — properly. do you think that your hate and vitriol help that situation? if you do, you’re wrong. make change with love, not judgment.

…and now…

anyone got a tabbico stash? i hear that stuff’s the bomb. i’d settle for a mastiff spliff. bouvier doobie? pointer joint? shiba reefer? saluki doob? great dane mary jane? lowchen roach? (bouvier des) flanders fattie?

174 Laura 09.27.06 at 11:58 pm

Can someone please call the Humane Society? While it is tres cute that the cat is feeding the puppies, someone needs to do something about the fact that the dog is 1. not spayed and 2. being chained to a tree… Just a bit concerned, here. I’m not kidding.

175 Christine :-) 09.28.06 at 12:00 am

Um, just out of curiosity, and I don’t mean to offend anyone, and I definitely agree that more people should spay and neuter their pets, but, um … if EVERY cat and dog were spayed and neutered — wouldn’t that wipe out the entire species cattus and doggus? Because spayed and neuterered animals usually don’t procreate. Unless maybe the Dog Star is rising in the east or something.

Hey Danielle, ol’ buddy, ol’ BFF – care to share with a fellow peep?

Wait – woman are you mad? Put that can of Cheeze Whiz down!

No, Aubrey … hand over snuffly kitty or the cheeze goes flying!

204 Margaret 09.28.06 at 1:51 am

Many years ago my family rescued a pregnant cat. Unfortunately, the kittehs were born premature and none of them survived. The mommy cat adopted some of my stuffed toys as her new “babies”. She carried them around in her mouth, bathed them, and even did that *making biscuits* thing with her paws when she slept with them. It was so cute/sad.

205 lauowolf 09.28.06 at 2:16 am

206 Claude 09.28.06 at 2:29 am

Yes, many of the statements made about this woman are classist and every bit as ignorant as she has been called.

That said, there are so many things about this situation that aren’t cute. Poverty, for starters. The people calling those who refuse to keep quiet about it “trolls” should probably stick to stuffed animals and not live ones. Hell, I’m starting to think some people here would find a taxidermy preserved cat or pup “cute.”

207 Laurie C 09.28.06 at 2:36 am

217 FishberryJam 09.28.06 at 4:54 am

I can’t ‘find the cute’ here. Mostly I see an uneducated person who doesn’t attend to her animals’ health needs and keeps her dog tied up rather than have her spayed. It makes me so sad to see people act this way when they don’t know any better, and it makes me very disappointed to see it distributed by a person who ’should’ know better.

*Grumble* (stop reading here, if you aren’t interested)
Got one thing to say on ‘Humane’ societies – they’re (mostly) government-wannabes run by people. People like the lady in the clip, in many cases. Some know jack about animals, some know a /lot/ about animals – including other people.
Just keep that in mind the next time someone starts squalling about ‘cruelty to animals’ and that being a reason to do this, that and the other thing.
Yes. For the love of all that’s holy, spay your animals. That’s being responcible – and that’s all anyone should ask of people who have pets.
*/grumble* (Okay – you can start reading again.)

Having got that out of my system – *takes another look at Mama Cat’s adopted litter* Awwwwhhh! /Almost/ makes me want a puppy. Except, I don’t much like dogs, and my DH is terrified of them. That, and I have two cats. The midnight rampages are bad enough without having to deal with a perpetual two year old…. ^.~

I must say, I was disappointed with this one. The video was cute, for sure, but even in the original post… how is the fact that the cat’s owner lives in a trailer relevant to anything?

I thought the main purpose here was to enjoy the cuteness of animals together, NOT to make judgments on people that (presumably) none of us know.

It’s especially ironic that while an animal can have compassion for something that is different from itself (i.e. a cat caring for puppies), some people here can’t seem to do the same.

Badly done, Meg.

Susannah Susannah — “Badly done, Meg”?? Hokay, suuure, because MEG shot the video, and MEG made all of these comments, and not only that but that’s obviously MEG herself in the video poking around under the trailer.
What. Ev. Ar.

Tuldas — aha, I spy a PUN. And it’s one that’s been done by the Simpsons, son.

Okay, so I lied. I’m back. Somebody pass me a Bengal blunt, stat.

232 Theo 09.28.06 at 12:23 pm

GOWHN — I think we ran all out of those.
More likely, they all ran out on us.

233 Marie 09.28.06 at 12:29 pm

I’m afraid I’m with Susannah. The trailer park comments really are not relevant and I would normally ignore them if they were part of the ‘Comments’ section. The whole “Let’s just make fun of a certain class of people” thing is getting old.

I know, I know. Grow some guts and get over it. I can, but I wasn’t really expecting to see “I love trailer park stories, Mindy M.” as part of the actual caption. But then again, what would I know? I’m a well-adjusted, intelligent, and productive member of society who just happened to grow up in a mobile home park.

234 Theo 09.28.06 at 12:37 pm

I love [insert group of dwellings] stories, Marie.

235 Allie and Jojo's Mom 09.28.06 at 12:37 pm

Ok – who’s got the Hammie? I just got to work and I need a pick me up. We’re all stoned out here in Bama.

237 christ on a cracker 09.28.06 at 1:25 pm

anyone have any idea who pissed in Kim’s and H’s cheerios?

some people need things to send their blood pressure through the roof. looks like they came to the right place. looking at cute kittens and puppies and all the assorted animals that get featured here are obvious testimony that ALL YOU PEOPLE ARE ANIMAL ABUSERS AND DON’T CARE ABOUT THE ANIMALS!

sheesh. guess all my money going to volunteer organizations that rescue animals means nothing because instead of tackling the heavy issues on EVERY SITE ON THE INTERNET, I choose to come to a place to squee over cute animals and leave the LARGER ISSUES TO THOSE VENUES THAT ARE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR IT.

thanks Kim and H, for assuming our intelligence is below average and that we actually, secretly, enjoy abusing animals, that you feel the need to drag your soap box along with you every where you go.

aw man. now look what you made me do. *cleans up*

238 GGG 09.28.06 at 1:42 pm

If I lived near that woman I would wait till she left her house, take the dog and cat and puppies, spay & neuter them all & find them good homes. She’s an idiot.

239 Allie and Jojo's Mom 09.28.06 at 2:04 pm

I’d argue with everyone that I’m not an animal abuser, but I’m still in a puddle over here from to much puppeh puffing

240 Allie and Jojo's Mom 09.28.06 at 2:04 pm

a puppeh puffing puddle

241 Theo 09.28.06 at 2:13 pm

I count my lucky stars that it wasn’t a huddle of puddled poodle puppy puffers.
That would be trouble I simply couldn’t suffer.

GGG — yeah, and then you’d be in *real* trouble. Way to think.

C on a C — dude — just stop, OK? You’re not helping. You’re, like, the polar opposite of help.
You’re the good intentions paving the road to help.

242 Allie and Jojo's Mom 09.28.06 at 2:16 pm

Teho – you really must stop. I almost piddled in my puppeh puffing puddle.

244 lauowolf 09.28.06 at 2:23 pm

I had the strangest dream.
And parts of it weren’t very nice.
People were yelling about fixing trailers, then a gleaming flood of kittens spilled over it all.
And you were there, And you…
Then I woke up.
But why is there cheese spray on my cat?

245 good old whatshername 09.28.06 at 2:24 pm

AJM – If you can actually say “poodle puppeh puffing piddle puddle,” you’re too sober. Take another hit.

246 Allie and Jojo's Mom 09.28.06 at 2:30 pm

I’m actually at work – but what the hell… pass me a puppy…and a kitteh…and a hammie.

247 Kim H. 09.28.06 at 2:37 pm

Heavens, I went to bed and then I got up and you people are still up taking hits off cute little animals.

But I agree with whoever said we need more bunnies. Wuv the bunnies. So soft. Oh well, I will just snorgle my own tiny tabby and pass her around. Careful, though, she’s an old kitty.

248 Kim H. 09.28.06 at 2:42 pm

Blecchhh! The aforemention small tabby just tried to insert her tongue up my nose, and snorgled me with HER cold wet sticky nose. She’s definitely getting passed around the circle. Anyone want Smellie Nellie, the little cat with the big personality who loves to kiss? Just on loan, mind…

249 mxlplyx 09.28.06 at 2:49 pm

Love the fact Mama Kitty didn’t adopt the puppies so much as abduct the puppies.

Cocker spaniels are real beauties as dogs, but kinda fluffy between the ears as mamas, anyhooo, so good ting Mama Kitty was around, i say…

Hmm, on second thought, maybe I should’ve used Britney instead.
(Then I could’ve used the whole quote.)

252 Lauri 09.28.06 at 3:49 pm

Meh, birdbrains of a feather, teho!

253 Tuldas 09.28.06 at 4:08 pm

Theo, i’m sure if you look, I have more bad puns. Not alot of cute pictures though. So sad. I need pets around the house.

254 CuteLover 09.28.06 at 4:17 pm

Cute video…also, I agree with the posters who are asking for more bunnehs. Bring back the bunnehs!!

255 Cerise 09.28.06 at 4:42 pm

Kim H., pass her on to me. My B’Elanna is a wet-nose-snorgler as well, but she also – and this is important – lets me huff her belleh. A fair trade-off, I say.

256 Kim H. 09.28.06 at 5:04 pm

Here you go, Cerise, but watch out… the little minx has a temper. She gives me love, she gives me scars… it’s all the same to her.

Hey! What’s this empty can here? You guys weren’t scarfing Easy Cheese… this is a can of Troll-B-Gone! and I think it worked!

257 Alexis 09.28.06 at 10:03 pm

My lord people! Drinking, smoking “dope”, eating GUACAMOLE?!?! And BREAD PUDDING?!?!? For the love of pete! How can you all sleep at night?

258 Nicole 09.28.06 at 10:38 pm

I lurve youse guys. I really do. You make my sad, pathetic existence worth continuing. (Thought I’d add a little more emo to the thread).

BTW, Kitty huffing is my anti-drug.

Mama kitty is so sweet. God, I love marmies. I want to kiss her widdle nosie for being so sweet to those pups.

259 Alexa 09.28.06 at 10:51 pm

Also, guys – notice who’s producing this little news item? Animal Planet. ANIMAL PLANET. These guys are VERY conscientious, and they do rescue shows all the time – you can’t tell me they wouldn’t make sure that cat and those pups turned out okay in the end. They would have taken the animals away if they foresaw a problem. That nice lady probably also got a long animal-care lesson, some brochures, contact info for humane societies and vets, and a free Animal Planet Keychain.

In other news, KITTEN MOSH PILE! :D

**leaps into fluffiness and snorgles**

260 You suck. 09.28.06 at 11:16 pm

A cat can feed a puppy for how long? A week or so? Does Ms. Trailer Trash have money to bottle feed the little shelter dogs of the future? No.

261 Kim H. 09.28.06 at 11:22 pm

Whoops, better get out those cans of Troll-Be-Gone again… they’re baaaack.

262 Susannah 09.28.06 at 11:27 pm

Theo – By saying “badly done, Meg” I was referring to the comment in the original post “I love trailer park stories.” You know, the one she DID write.

263 lauowolf 09.28.06 at 11:43 pm

Susannah
Humor, a difficult concept.

264 Cerise 09.28.06 at 11:47 pm

[shakes can, gives Kim H. the thumbs-up]

I’m on it.

265 R. Moore 09.28.06 at 11:52 pm

I can’t see anything :(

266 Lauri 09.29.06 at 2:31 am

Open your eyes, R. Moore!

I kid. I kid.

267 Susannah 09.29.06 at 3:46 am

lauowolf – you keep telling yourself that.

268 kiwitwist 09.29.06 at 12:34 pm

Umm, I kinda feel like that dog should be inside, rather than chained up outside…

269 Stacey 09.29.06 at 11:53 pm

That was NOT cute, it was repulsive.

270 kristin 09.30.06 at 6:05 pm

I agree — that dog needs to be spayed. Mama cat will need incredible amounts of extra nutrition just to keep up with the milk demand, and eventually may just be exhausted by appetite and size of her adoptees. Now – as for puppies raised by a cat, that may do wonders for their psych profile (or may just make them incredibly confused as adult canines :)

272 iamfelix 10.01.06 at 8:36 am

Geez, who’d'a thunk that so many “glass is half empty” commenters would frequent a spot with cute baby animal pixes? Maybe the story here is just that miraculous help (sometimes in the form of a orange mama kitteh) arrives where it is most needed. Lighten up, people, and appreciate the wonder of it all.

273 iamfelix 10.01.06 at 8:44 am

AN orange mama kitteh …. *sigh*

274 gena 10.01.06 at 5:20 pm

GET YOUR PETS SPAYED!!! BE RESPONSIBLE!!!

275 fuaijie 10.01.06 at 9:57 pm

hee! this is so cute!

276 Poopy Puppy 12.07.06 at 10:57 pm

wait till thoses dogs grow up and maul thae cat

277 Rena 12.18.06 at 6:41 am

…………….and you people have turned me off reading comments from now on(first time I’ve read comments at CO too), plus killed the warm and fuzzy feeling –*

When regulars start bullying like this, it really turns me off. Yeah, racist comments are idiotic, but what does troll mean in YOUR book? o.O Last I looked, it wasn’t someone who had a different view then you.
I think it’s important that people do notice things, and don’t just jam their fingers in their ears. I ALSO think it’s good to not gang up on people, regardless of the situation. A bully is a bully, even if they happen to be in the right.

As for telling stuff from a short clip, you’d be surprised. A roughly 5 minute story I saw recently, it was only through observation of a 20 second portion of it that I got the real story. Christmas trees are taken down at the local airport, and everyone thinks it’s some scrooge complaining. The real story? A rabbi asking that they put up some Jewish stuff as well, and in fact is upset they took the trees down and wants them back up. If you took the story at face value, the complainer is a villain. But from just 20 seconds, your views change.

With news, you have to use your thinking cap sometimes. They’ll only tell it to you a certain way, so you have to pick up on things to get the real story.

Am I saying either way about what type of owner the woman is? No. Am I slightly silly for commenting this late after the fact? Yes. But I wanted to get the point across, that I hope things have changed and people are no longer flamed here just because they aren’t living with rose colored glasses.
