Aww, cat tongue!… What an expression on the lickee’s face…

2 Stacy 10.28.06 at 5:55 am

xP The guinea has this OHNOES expression.

Good Lord but that’s an adorable piggie.

3 Kelly Mc 10.28.06 at 5:56 am

sweet!

4 musicchick2 10.28.06 at 5:57 am

SOOOOOO sweet! Inter-species grooming! Who’da thunk it?

5 Kelly Mc 10.28.06 at 6:01 am

Wow, their colors match!

6 Jfo 10.28.06 at 6:11 am

That is the cutest guinea pig evAr

7 Mei-Li 10.28.06 at 6:13 am

Where ees Part UNO?? ONE? I see DEUX but no UNO.

8 trin 10.28.06 at 6:27 am

I completely regret never managing to get a photo of my cat washing the ferret. I was the sweetest thing I’d ever seen, next to this one.

(Megumi kitty would hold down Elric ferret and wash him,… with the ferret squirming like a 3 yr old child getting his ears scrubbed. “They’re clean enough.” “Are not…now just sit still so I can get this spot…”

9 adam 10.28.06 at 6:28 am

aww! guinea pig is all “oh noes! kitty lickings! eep! oh well, better get used to it!” and kitty is all “yes, kitty lickings! muhahahaha! licklicklicklick!” and later they will snuzzle each other on the couch. yay!

A kitteh licking a pigette? HOGWASH!

12 Shaz 10.28.06 at 6:39 am

That kitty looks so much like my Alaidh it’s scary. However, as far as I know, she hasn’t gotten herself a pet.

Alaidh has her own blog with pics you can compare…I believe you can just click on my name.

13 Fish Eye no Miko 10.28.06 at 6:46 am

Ah… So cute. Little piggie’s probbaly a bit confused right now… ^_^
Trin: Where did you come up with the names for your pets? I’m just curious.

14 Anita 10.28.06 at 6:47 am

Surrogate baby or all-day sucker? Let you be the judge. ;P

15 Kimby 10.28.06 at 6:50 am

De piggy is thinking “OMG WTF MATE?!”
You can see it in the eyes!
And the kitty’s all licklicklick puuurrrrr

16 Aubrey 10.28.06 at 7:04 am

When one person lays down the law to another person he is given a tongue-lashing. As these are animals, piggeh is instead given a tongue-washing.

By God, I’m tired. Night, night peeps.

17 Michele 10.28.06 at 7:27 am

OMG that pinny gig has the funniest expression like “whyyyy am i enjoying this?!?!!?!”

18 Stacy 10.28.06 at 7:57 am

@Aubrey: Ouch. Bad puns. xP

19 dickie twinkles 10.28.06 at 7:58 am

Awwww!

My puppy does the same thing to my piggies. They usually purrr their little hearts out. Except Neo, my scaredy-cat pig wgo looks just like the one in that pic, he just sits there…looking like this: @_@

20 Subhangi 10.28.06 at 8:40 am

Titania??? Hey, this pigalette is the same Christmas piggy of 2005!!!

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

Yup, good memory today. ;)

21 acelightning 10.28.06 at 8:55 am

Piggy is getting religion – he’s becoming a Cat-lick! (But he doesn’t look like he’s enjoying it nearly as much as the ferret in Part Uno did.)

22 Renee 10.28.06 at 9:54 am

Lord have mercy. This photo should have been accompanied by a disclaimer warning of the potential to induce a diabetic coma.

23 NebraskaErin 10.28.06 at 9:56 am

I’m not sure I’m down with all this inter-species canoodling. It makes heads ’splode with cuteness. Good thing mine is made of puddin’, so the kitties won’t go hungry.

24 adam 10.28.06 at 10:14 am

also: i love how the ferret is smaller at its middle! it is like a bean :-)

25 girlalive 10.28.06 at 11:08 am

That’s one of the cutest guinea pigs ever, and the look on her face is priceless. Like her eyes are whispering “help me!”

26 Tammy Rao 10.28.06 at 11:11 am

Now imagine this cute with seven peeglettes all cuddled around Armand kitty (he herds them). I die of cute every time that happens. :)

Armand is a loaf cat. So no peeglette nibbles from him, thankfully!

thank you for posting meeee!

27 Loris 10.28.06 at 11:21 am

The picture’s cute, but – he HERDS them?! I mean, that’s just unneccessarily cute. That’s a cute overload overload. (Do the other piglings have great names as well, Tammy?)

28 Lauri 10.28.06 at 11:24 am

OOOOoooo. I love the names, Tammy! Armand and Titania. And so beautiful!

Piggies have that purrpetual look of Whaaaat? on their faces. This one also has a very happy look! :)

29 Villy 10.28.06 at 11:51 am

I’ve had many a piggeh in my day, and none of them were that gorgeous grey!

30 Michelle 10.28.06 at 12:03 pm

::eyes twitch from prolonged exposure to image of kitteh-cavy bath::

Did someone say pudding?

::frantically loads spoon, draws it back and aims it wildly in one direction, then the next::

Back off, man!

31 J. Bo 10.28.06 at 12:04 pm

I’m sorry, but that’s… that’s just wrong.

32 BlurpleBerry 10.28.06 at 12:09 pm

That is the cutest guinea pig I have every laid eyes on.

33 Jenni 10.28.06 at 12:21 pm

Hehe! What a great start to my morning.

34 Mook 10.28.06 at 12:28 pm

Tammy R: MUST SEE photos/video of Armand herding his piggies!!!!!! Please, please, please, pretty please??????????

35 kjjkkf 10.28.06 at 12:28 pm

Methinks the kitty is sampling its breakfast! :S
Lol very cute though :P

36 HRH 10.28.06 at 12:38 pm

OMG !!! The kitty’s tongue …

furrrrrr-coated ???

the colour matches the licker and the lickee …

awesome pic …

37 JH 10.28.06 at 12:55 pm

I can see the fear in the piggy’s eyes.

38 elizabeth 10.28.06 at 1:00 pm

i am in love with the lil piggie’s ears.

39 Dave 10.28.06 at 1:11 pm

Titania looks like she’s afraid she’s about to be dinner…

40 kcat 10.28.06 at 1:24 pm

Love the little kitty tongue and the slanted eyes – soooo satisfied.

41 Geek Kittie 10.28.06 at 1:30 pm

This reminds me of the cartoons where the cat would befriend a bird or mouse instead of eating it. Eventually the cat would kiss the mouse, kiss it some more until it started salivating and hilarity ensued.

42 little miao 10.28.06 at 1:33 pm

Awwww, they match! And that’s a really adorable kitty tongue – what a lucky piggie! :p

43 Wish I was fat 10.28.06 at 1:45 pm

Does anyone else get a non-sexual rise out of getting your hair washed by someone else at the hair salon, barber, etc.

It’s very relaxing to me.

44 Theo 10.28.06 at 2:05 pm

This reminds me of the “Act like you know what you’re doing” internet-meme pic:

Oh my, I love the color of that little piggie :) I don’t believe I’ve ever seen it before in a guinea pig.

46 zandperl 10.28.06 at 2:24 pm

Tammy takes the best pictures. To the people who want more, her portfolio’s here.

48 Lex - Be 10.28.06 at 2:38 pm

:-O Hoooo it’s so cuuuuute! interspecies grooming, awww, how sweet is that!

And “wish I was fat”: For the rare times I go to the hair salon, the best moment is clearly The Washing. Gaaaahh, feels good.

49 Lauri 10.28.06 at 2:58 pm

Lol, if you want to see that perpetual wha’s happnin’ look on G.Pigs faces, go to Tammy’s site (thanks!) and go to “others”, top row, third pic to the right. Three piggies all in a row, SO cute!

54 KiraKira 10.28.06 at 3:18 pm

Awwwwwwww……..Kawaii!!!

…you know, I think this might even be the SAME CAT. *amused* can I get her to wash ME?

55 Denita TwoDragons 10.28.06 at 3:25 pm

Trin: I have a cat named Elric! *LMAO!* Something tells me your ferret (*sigh* Years later I STILL miss my eight fuzzies…) and my feline are probably the same snowy shade, right…? ;-)

My Elric one of a brother-sister pair I rescued as kittens, and I nicknamed them The Hooligans. His sister’s name is Jadis (named after the White Witch from the Narnia series), and they conspire to make my third cat, Underfoot, as wound up and high-strung as possible.

BTW this clean cavy-cat companionship creates a cuteness catastrophically, calamitously capable of causing cranial combustion!

56 Tiberia 10.28.06 at 3:34 pm

It’s a salt and pepper pig!

(Great puns, Aubrey!)

57 julz 10.28.06 at 3:36 pm

This reminds me of these cooking shows where chefs briefly taste their dishes to see if they are well done.

Let’s face it, that guinea pig is not happy…

Cute photo though, hehe

cheers!

58 smokeyJoe 10.28.06 at 3:47 pm

for god’s sake, piggy, don’t mooooooveeeeeeeeeee….

59 michellemybelle 10.28.06 at 3:50 pm

Tammy’s got all sorts of cute critters on her site – doggies and kitties and piggies and a bunny and a tortoise and a…whew, all that cute just got to me…have to breathe…

I’d like to see the piggies with the tortoise, perhaps stacked on top?

60 AlbertaGirl 10.28.06 at 4:00 pm

Look at the piggy’s beautiful fur! Obviously cat lickies are good for the coat as well as the soul.

61 mlle_x 10.28.06 at 4:29 pm

70 jaypo 10.28.06 at 5:12 pm

Happy, patient piggy! And they match–pigkitty twins.

71 M. 10.28.06 at 5:39 pm

Oh the quiet terror in the eyes of the guinea pig. The satisfied slanted eyes of the cat! Hilarious.

72 Julia 10.28.06 at 5:41 pm

My cat used to groom my guinea pig as well! I had no idea other cats thoght this was a good diea. My piggie would just sit there totally calmy as a predator licked her. Piggies are cute, but not too bright.

73 Fish Eye no Miko 10.28.06 at 5:42 pm

* How * Precious! *

I have to find my old pictures of my kitty grooming my dwarf mini-lop bunny — My kitty LURRRVED that bunny and would hold the little dude down and groom the living daylights out of him (whether he wanted to be groomed or not!)

You’re killing me!! Keeeleeeng mee!!*popcorns wif da piggle*

76 A thinker 10.28.06 at 6:18 pm

Ooooooooohhh…I’m melting. Melting, I tell you. It doesn’t help that the cat and the piggy are the same colour….

77 CuteFanatic 10.28.06 at 6:19 pm

Awww!So adorable! Definitely Perfect for cute overload.What type of animal is the cat licking? Is it a guinea pig?

78 julia2 10.28.06 at 6:47 pm

Well, there is that story about the twins being born with different skin colors.. I guess different species could work too?

Wish I was Fat- I don’t normally like having my head touched, but one salon my roommate and I went to on vacation once gave serious head massages while they washed your hair, and it was heavenly.

79 CC 10.28.06 at 6:47 pm

Maybe we should have a new Rule. Different species washing different species. I thought of this since alot people said, “OMG, I have to find my picture of my…..washing my….. Think about it. Totally new Rule.

80 you guys r silly 10.28.06 at 7:04 pm

83 emily 10.28.06 at 7:49 pm

Well, this proves that cats think their everyone’s mom! Silly, kitty…but oh, so sweet. :)

84 i eat poop 10.28.06 at 8:09 pm

this is obviously animal abuse and it’s sick you have this on your site.

…not cute at all.

85 J. Bo 10.28.06 at 8:15 pm

86 designerwhite 10.28.06 at 8:19 pm

Cats and Guineapigs are ARCH NEMESI!!
This must be a secret liason with an undercover guineapig who’s gone through extensive cosmetic surgery, in order to steal classified cat documents.

Proof?

87 Alexis 10.28.06 at 8:25 pm

It really can’t get any better than a grey cat licking a guinea pig (of any color). I lervs the piggies…

88 I*heart*you 10.28.06 at 8:47 pm

You know, it’s these sort of pictures that get me all excited to go out and adopt two bunnies, another kitty, a couple chinchillas, and two guinea pigs…….

89 BunRab 10.28.06 at 9:08 pm

I had a piggle that color; we called him Argentum, Argie for short.

i*heart*you, if you want a taste of EXACTLY that combo, come on over to our house and help clean cages and litter boxes – see how much mess a couple chinchillas, two guinea pigs, an assortment of bunnies, and two cats can make. Especially the cat who is best friends with Chippy Chinchilla, and has learned how to shred paper from him…

90 BunRab 10.28.06 at 9:12 pm

Oh, and we also had a grey and white teddy piggle, one of the bestest piggles ever. Her name was Tasha, short for Natasha, ’cause her dad was Nikolai. She was indeed a princess, and she was one of the smartest guinea pigs EVER – she never lost a carrot! She remembered where her carrots were and finished them without getting losted!

91 The Sparkster 10.28.06 at 9:15 pm

Mmm, delicious pig…

92 lurkertype 10.28.06 at 9:17 pm

93 Brak_Silverbone 10.28.06 at 10:46 pm

94 J. Bo 10.28.06 at 11:04 pm

“gimme pig”

Hee!

95 Jumpy 10.29.06 at 12:18 am

The cat’s just enjoying the taste. He knows he can’t actually eat the pig or he’s in big trouble.

The pig looks terrified. The cat probably threatened him with “Get licked or get eaten. Your choice.”

96 Terri 10.29.06 at 12:33 am

I looked at today’s pics..awww..awwww..awwwww..ohhhhhh! Dinner! LOL!

97 LesbianNeoCon 10.29.06 at 1:37 am

Guinea pig: WTF?

98 Liz 10.29.06 at 3:23 am

aww..poor pig looks so scared

99 Thorne 10.29.06 at 3:25 am

Awesome Alliteration, Den! ^^

Heh. Piggeh: “Why did I get myself into this?!”
Kitty: “Just lemme get this last spot …”

100 David Harmon 10.29.06 at 3:38 am

When I still had my rabbit, my cat would occasionally try to groom him. The first time in particular was really funny, as Vorpal got this “WTF?” look, with his ears all askew….

Over time he got a little more used to the idea, but he’d still hop away after 30 seconds or so.

101 eowyn_2 10.29.06 at 3:52 am

Squeeeee!!!!!!! That grey kitty looks *exactly* like my Sebastian (click on my name and see him). I would love to have guinea pigs – they are so funny with their “boink boink boink”-ing. Alas, a picture like this with my kittehs would probably be a tasting rather than a grooming… …that and my mom could never come to visit because she’s pretty allergic to guinea pigs and rabbits. What a cute picture!

102 Aoife 10.29.06 at 4:40 am

I believe this kind of interspecies love is illegal in 46 states.

103 core 10.29.06 at 5:02 am

Gimme pigs – I loves it. In fourth grade we had a guinguin with which I had good rapport. I was intrigued by the “weeeek weeeek weeeeek” and the gubbling sounds, and also by, disgustingly enough, the fact that the chow that went in the front looked almost exactly like what came out later. I was less amused when my loving classmates stuffed me in the cage and stood around laughing at me. Ah, the innocence and sweetness of little children! /irony

104 bergamasque 10.29.06 at 6:11 am

It’s terribly cute, can’t take my eyes off of it. A perfect picture of animal companionship, care and affection. I love the matching fur colours and the conscientious expression of the beautiful kitty. Not to mention the tongue! More like this please!

105 Annabel 10.29.06 at 9:21 am

Actually that’s not cleaning, it’s tasting…

106 chimera17 10.29.06 at 5:17 pm

David – your bunny was named Vorpal?!? That is beyond awesome.

107 piscespixie 10.29.06 at 5:23 pm

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a nummy guinnea pig?

A-one, A-two, A-three….. A-onehundred and fifteen…
LOL

108 Tammy 10.29.06 at 6:42 pm

Heh.. to answer a few questions: Armand licks Titania becuase her fur is spiky. Titania will actually lick the eye goop from Armand’s eyes if she can (yeah, gross). The other piggies in “The Madness” (my herd) are: Olivia, Nutmeg, Winifred/Winnie, Guinivere/Gwinnie, Chestnut, and Hazel. I used to have Shakespearean names (Portia, Ophelia, Bianca…) but ran out of names! Oh, and Titania is NOT scared. Seriously – she has one expression, and that’s pretty much it. :) :)

109 Lauri 10.29.06 at 7:33 pm

Yay, Tammy, I keep saying that, too.
All my pigs have that googlyeyed look.
A true cavy connosewer (I was not going to even try to spell that correctly) can see a happy pig, and Titania is happy. :)

110 Lizzy 10.29.06 at 9:38 pm

It occurs to me now that I simply MUST get a new digital camera if just for the photographing of my minischnauz licking my piggles.

Now accepting donations!

111 Lillith 10.29.06 at 9:53 pm

Tammy;

They GROOOM each other? *head splody*

Oh would also love to see herding pics. Very sweet.

112 jkhsquonk 10.30.06 at 12:57 am

This is so funny!

113 Kristen 10.30.06 at 3:26 am

I really hate to be the one person to rain on a parade of cute, but I just felt compelled to make a response about cats grooming rabbits/cavies – sorry!

Cats’ saliva carries a strain of Pasteurella that is particularly dangerous for small animals, since it’s not one that they’ve built up defenses for. If they become infected, it can lead to respiratory infection, head tilt, and death. It’s REALLY not recommended to allow cats near small animals, since even a small scratch, if pasteurella is present under the nail, can lead to terrible infections and abscesses at the site of the wound.

This picture IS really cute, and I’m loving that cavy’s coloring, but I just thought I’d spread the info for future reference.

Anyway… moving along!… :)

114 Theo 10.30.06 at 3:33 am

Wow, you really are a buzzkill, arn’cha?
Anyway… moving along!… :)

115 Kim H. 10.30.06 at 4:51 am

(sounds of deflation) Oh, come on… cats have Pasteurella multocida in their saliva, natch, but you need a break in the skin’s defenses to have an infection, (else I would be dead by now) and the kitty in the pic is WAY too gentle for anything to happen. And the owner is too careful and vigilant to miss an early infection. And that’s what I would rather believe. So there (puts fingers in ears).

116 ViolinCyndee 10.30.06 at 6:40 am

SO cute how they match! ;)

117 Stooges Woman :-) 10.30.06 at 6:12 pm

Speaking as a human being, I’m mainly offended because I can’t get either of my cats to groom ME the way this one is grooming that guinea pig! What has a guinea pig got that I ain’t got? The noive! ;-)

118 Arvay 10.30.06 at 6:15 pm

Wow. That is a-freakin-dorable!

119 Tiffany 10.30.06 at 7:27 pm

I don’t know which is funnier, the pic. or the caption. Poor confused little guinea pig.

120 chacha 10.30.06 at 11:27 pm

toggling back and forth between Part Un and Part Deux … too funny, y’all. Tammy, your pictures are really beautiful and Titania is the prettiest gimme pig I’ve ever seen. Is D’Artagnan the ferret yours too?

121 Shannon L. 10.31.06 at 4:29 am

OMG! That is the prettiest color of pinny gig that I have ever seen! I’ve never seen anything like it before!

122 tammy 10.31.06 at 7:28 pm

Chacha,

I do pet photography, so d’Artagnan the ferret is not mine. Most of the photos are other people’s pets, and I shoot them in their homes. I have another site called cavymadness.com, wherein you will see a whole lot of guinea pigs, again many of which are not mine. :) I live vicariously though cute animals, I guess. LOL
