I love when kitties have you know, their normal fur length, most of it is that length, but then they have this like, aura of longer hairs sticking out.

I really want to skritch those little muzzlepuffs. *sigh*

2 speedwell 09.29.06 at 4:04 pm

I HURT for another marmalade boy, but I’m overcatted as it is in my small apartment with my three. :(

3 Pussytoes 09.29.06 at 4:05 pm

Marmalade kitty! Spread him on toast, yum.

4 Tuldas 09.29.06 at 4:05 pm

I wish to floomp about as well. Can I floomp somewhere nearby said kitteh?

5 Marty 09.29.06 at 4:06 pm

I think floomp is my new favourite word!

6 Cerise 09.29.06 at 4:07 pm

[Cerise gets nose-to-nose with kitteh]

“Who’s a pretty boy? You are! YOU are! Oh, I’m gonna git my nose in there and oh pretty kitty wuff wuff snorgle…”

[kitteh stares balefully into space, praying for death]

7 golfwidow 09.29.06 at 4:09 pm

That cat looks like he’s dreaming of Solla Sollew, where they never have troubles (at least, very few).

8 useta hada kitteh 09.29.06 at 4:09 pm

YAY!!! Dis guy is K Y double OOH T CUTE! I wanna floomp wif he. Cuz he’s cute. And there can’t be no argufying of dat, can there? (Checks under nearby rocks, keeps troll repellent handy…)

Hand me the purry object!

9 AuntieMame 09.29.06 at 4:10 pm

Hah! If there was any justice in the world, I would be floomping instead of working, too.

I just got finished cat-sitting for a friend, and she (the kitty) was great pals with the kitties across the back fence, one of which was a marmalade with the most amazing orange eyes. As in orange lollipop-colored. I have never seen a kitty with orange eyes.

10 julia2 09.29.06 at 4:11 pm

reminds me of a book from childhood where a tiger had to pretend to be a rug, or something along those lines.. this pic is just too cute :)

11 Jennie 09.29.06 at 4:13 pm

Jenne… that short for Jennifer? ‘Cause that’ll be a new one for me.

Anyway, I love it when my kitten does this, but she’s never close to as cute as this ickle kitteh!

Adorable! ^_^

12 dextrigger 09.29.06 at 4:14 pm

my photos of my precious kitteh never get put on here.
sadness.

but this kitteh is edible!

13 Drea 09.29.06 at 4:15 pm

Obscenely relaxed! Again!

14 Allie and Jojo's Mom 09.29.06 at 4:16 pm

Me wantsta floomp too.

*snuggles up to floompy kitters and gives him a big glompy snorgle*

15 Katie 09.29.06 at 4:16 pm

I am just glad to be rid of the dog and peep show.

16 Allie and Jojo's Mom 09.29.06 at 4:17 pm

Can we rename that post as The Post That Darenot Speak Its Name v. 2.0

17 Kristie 09.29.06 at 4:17 pm

I think this kitty is recovering from last night’s bread puddy affair. He’s all like, “Wuh? Where’s the coffee? I’m not getting up until it’s ready.”

18 chet's momma 09.29.06 at 4:20 pm

I love the way Floompy has his wittle bod spread over both piwwows! Mine!

19 Michele 09.29.06 at 4:21 pm

I just wanna brush him pretty fur and press my nose to that widdo (runs tp hide from Teho) cold prosh nosie!!!!

20 lauowolf 09.29.06 at 4:22 pm

I think kitteh started on the pink thing and just oozed over.
If he keeps napping, my guess is he’ll slither down to (my) right.
I want to hang out and watch to see if I’m right.
Let me get a cup of tea, and a book, and I’ll just get settled here in the quiet.

21 mariser 09.29.06 at 4:22 pm

oooooo how cute. teey tiny little face, spread out in an X pattern.
what a lovely way to end a-not-so-lovely-week.

22 jaypo 09.29.06 at 4:25 pm

Wow, what a sweet fella! That’s how I feel after yesterday–just askin’ for a hug and a smooch!

“I have never seen a kitty with orange eyes.”
My girlie had orange eyes. She was silky black and white longhair with pumpkin eyes. I heard it’s peculiar to Persians, though she was a mix-o-cat.

23 rori 09.29.06 at 4:29 pm

He looks like the kind of super-relaxed kitty that if you picked him up, would just flop back and look at you like, “What’s up?”

24 Redzilla 09.29.06 at 4:31 pm

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I said I was going to go do work, but I DIDN’T. Because I heard angels singing…and it sounded like a marmy kitteh purring.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
>shakes dust of PomChickGate from her heels…and rushes over to snorgle kitteh.

25 A thinker 09.29.06 at 4:31 pm

YAY!!! Floofy Marmalade Kitty!!

I wants him. I wants him so bad it hurts.

26 Theo 09.29.06 at 4:33 pm

[gurrrrrgle...]

27 ka9q's wife 09.29.06 at 4:33 pm

I think this kitty looks like a little marmie angel complete with halo of guard hairs.

I just want to snorgle him and eat more pudding.

28 NebraskaErin 09.29.06 at 4:33 pm

He’s not sleepy…he’s DARING you to take one of the pillows.

Go ahead. Do it. I dare ya.

29 Aubrey 09.29.06 at 4:35 pm

(wanders in, cup of thick coffee in hand)

FLOOFY. PAWS.

A baked marmalade. Yummy!

30 mleiv 09.29.06 at 4:39 pm

This is what happens when you guys huff too much cat. Look at him, he aint got no bones left!

31 lauowolf 09.29.06 at 4:42 pm

oooh Aubrey-

Those Paws.
That foot is as big as his face.

My only question: Is there a cream belly under that marmalade, or is it marmie all the way down?

32 jaypo 09.29.06 at 4:43 pm

“I just want to snorgle him and eat more pudding. “

k9q,
puddy + puddytat = heaven

33 Lauri 09.29.06 at 4:44 pm

Too floomped to ehn!

34 Cerise 09.29.06 at 4:44 pm

Yeah, somebody flip him over so we can see his belleh.

35 Lauri 09.29.06 at 4:45 pm

It’s going to be a cold weekend to take boats outta the lake! AmyH, what is it in the ‘zona? 85?

36 Lauri 09.29.06 at 4:47 pm

Lol, lauowolf, do you ask questions like that of your human friends?

37 lauowolf 09.29.06 at 4:47 pm

mieve–
’sawright.
He’s just recouperating,
We can huff him again in a few hours, if we let him sleep now.
SHHHHHH.

38 lauowolf 09.29.06 at 4:48 pm

Lauri-
Weeeell, umm.
I might *peek*

39 Aubrey 09.29.06 at 4:54 pm

That is a limp, tired, kitters and I need to carry him him draped upon my shoulder.

40 misscrisp 09.29.06 at 4:54 pm

oh LOL “is it marmie all the way down”??
we’re a ripe bunch.
my bebeh is flooomped out right next to me….yay.

41 Subhangi 09.29.06 at 4:54 pm

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

*Scoops up marmie and makes a run for it*

42 ariel 09.29.06 at 4:55 pm

the BABY! oh its sleepy grumpy little face! oh the little hairs sprouting off its ear-tips! oh the drapey tired paws! oh the orangey fluff! mmmamaaaaaaaaaaaaw

43 ariel 09.29.06 at 4:57 pm

my jack is black w/that measure of floof, and orange eyes. the pumpkin king!

44 Lisa 09.29.06 at 5:19 pm

That’s me on Monday morning.

45 Aubrey 09.29.06 at 5:22 pm

I see a kit chin under which there needs to be much skritching.

By golly, I wish I could have pets.

46 Aaron DeLay 09.29.06 at 5:36 pm

“Look, I stared real mean at the mouse. I threatened the dog next door with a head nod. I hissed real soft at the fly buzzing around here. What more do you want from me?”

47 Subhangi 09.29.06 at 6:03 pm

You said it, James.

We needs a Glossary update, STAT!

Aaron DL – LOL.

48 Jessica 09.29.06 at 6:04 pm

Wow, that is a fuzzy wonderful kitty!

And pillows that are being floomped on are of Flickr colours!

49 Chris 09.29.06 at 6:06 pm

This’s it. I’m being reincarnated as a kitteh next time around. They’ve got the life, I tells ya!

50 hrh.squeak 09.29.06 at 6:11 pm

The Magical Blue Couch strikes again! Loffly lovey.

51 Theo 09.29.06 at 6:27 pm

HRH — I did wonder, but I think what we’ve got here (besides Mssr. Marmie Tres Magnifique) are 2 plush pillows and a bedsheet.

We are couchless and denied.

52 Dewi CasGwent 09.29.06 at 6:28 pm

Don’t know if this is post cat nip floomping but for those who want cat nip might find
http://www.edirectory.co.uk/pf/pages/default.asp
good, especailly the giant cat nip

53 Jenne 09.29.06 at 6:40 pm

Floompy. lol. I want a new cat now so I can name it Floompy. I love that! ROFL! And I *did* use the word floomp in conversation this morning.. my coworker came in with the box containing my new cell phone I’ve been waiting for and while I was clapping and saying YAY ME (yep), she FLOOMPED the box onto my desk! I said HEY SHEESH lets not be throwin that around like that huh!!

and yes.. Jenne.. short for Jennifer.. I did that 13 years ago thinking I was being creative and original and different. Turns out I was just being confusing. ;)

54 Jenne 09.29.06 at 6:41 pm

I guess that did not illustrate how I used floomp in conversation.. not that it matters.. but I DID use the word a few minutes later when relaying to a friend the story about the box being “floomped” onto my desk. Really.

55 ceebs 09.29.06 at 6:45 pm

oh megaw….
I want this kitteh to floomp on my head. or at least over my arm like Frieda with the naturally curly hair’s boneless cat Faron.

56 Gryph 09.29.06 at 7:11 pm

Just looking at this picture makes me sleepy. *yawn*

57 Fred 09.29.06 at 8:20 pm

JUST floomped around? Floomping is serious business when you’re a cat.

58 Aubrey 09.29.06 at 8:32 pm

This is just a friendly warning. STAY AWAY from the Pom Post. STAY AWAY.

And stay focused on the marm. And breathe (huff) deeply.

59 Aaron DeLay 09.29.06 at 8:44 pm

“This is just a friendly warning. STAY AWAY from the Pom Post. STAY AWAY.”

It’s bad. I pulled Kermit the Frog in for some help, but I dun think it’s gonna help.

60 little miao 09.29.06 at 8:53 pm

too cute… little kitten needs a snuggle…

61 Alexis 09.29.06 at 8:56 pm

Ohhh, my aching head… After last night’s brandy rice pudding pomtini fiasco I need some dry toast.’

Ok, maybe I’ll spread some orange marmelade on it…

62 TastesLikeChicken 09.29.06 at 9:00 pm

Jenne, can you imagine everyone’s face at the vets when they announce that the vet will see Floompy now!

63 Julia 09.29.06 at 9:15 pm

This is yet another example of feline relaxation superiority. Of all the animal friends I have ever had, my gatos are definitely the most creative and artful slumberers. This reminds me of the Garfield cartoon strips wherein Garfield would purposefully rest and sleep in bizarre poses. SIlly gatos.

64 Aubrey 09.29.06 at 9:17 pm

TLC:

Hopefully their faces would express the purest joy.

65 Rhea Harding 09.29.06 at 9:17 pm

me want !!!

66 TastesLikeChicken 09.29.06 at 9:37 pm

Aubrey’ I imagined awe tinged with jealousy;D As in “Why didn’t I think of that!”

67 Alexis 09.29.06 at 9:45 pm

TLC: Actually, I always get a reaction from the vet when I have to call for an appointment or bring my cat in. It’s kinda fun.

Her name is Snack. (She loves to eat.)

68 lurkertype 09.29.06 at 9:48 pm

Oooh, we used to tell our marmie boy “You’ve got cat hairs sticking out of your cat fur!” Like this guy.

I predict he oooooozed farther down, left paw leading.

69 Aubrey 09.29.06 at 9:49 pm

When my parents would bring the family cat, Pandora, to the vet, the nurse would always announce her by her name, with our family name attached to it. It was nice.

70 AmyH 09.29.06 at 9:59 pm

Lauri – we’re supposed to be 102 today. We had glorious week or two in the 90s and have been back in the 100s for a few days.

The mornings are high 70s and then will hit 80 around 8:30 a.m., 100’s probably around 2:00 p.m.

71 Cerise 09.29.06 at 10:10 pm

…and now we go to Sports.

James?

72 Aaron DeLay 09.29.06 at 10:51 pm

“…and now we go to Sports.

James?”

“…the Eagles beat the Chickens with a dog eat dog defense…”

73 AuntieMame 09.29.06 at 11:02 pm

Don’t you mean “dog eat chick defense”?

74 Aaron DeLay 09.29.06 at 11:03 pm

After I posted it, I realized how I should have phrased it. It’s so friday…;)

75 Theo 09.29.06 at 11:07 pm

I’m already hoooome!
I’m already hoooome!

76 Aubrey 09.29.06 at 11:26 pm

T., I have another hour and 1/2! STOP IT!!

77 Theo 09.29.06 at 11:28 pm

[stretching baaaaack in the Bungee Chair of Delight]
[spelled correctly this time]

Aaaaaaahhh.

78 Frankie 09.30.06 at 12:14 am

When my sweet Dot (who is a calico jam) does that pose, I call it “splat-cat.” It is irresistable! Cats who splat (or floomp) require emergency pounce-and-kiss stops!

79 lauowolf 09.30.06 at 2:28 am

Mom!

Someone’s let the air out of the cat again!

80 Aquila 09.30.06 at 4:03 am

Bwah!
Ow…That hurt

Y’alls are too funny! I needed that!

81 fruityoaty 09.30.06 at 4:31 am

OMG, that’s so cute. He reminds me of my cat, Max… when he was little.

82 acelightning 09.30.06 at 7:03 am

Oh, that is just so perfectly …*feline*. Cats, and especially kittens, have a lot to teach us about the subtle art of relaxation.

83 lizzard 09.30.06 at 7:50 am

i just love marmalade cats. i loved that book as a kid.

84 Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 09.30.06 at 9:52 am

Of all the marmalade kitten pics this is my most fave as far back as I can recall seeing them on C O.

No…My guess is that other marmalades are tied with this one…

They are featured quite often so this can’t be THE CUTEST marmalade kitty to be posted here.

But I can’t recall the others right now.

85 Susan 09.30.06 at 5:09 pm

I WANT TO BE A CAT!!!!!

86 butteredtoast 09.30.06 at 8:50 pm

where did you get floomped??????
