Cats just kill me sometimes. lol

3 woflwhocriedboy 10.18.06 at 8:34 pm

*laughing so hard… risking. peeing. self*

The Sylvester impression only made this pic. better. There is something about the kitty ‘tude that just defies definition. LOVE**

4 Rosie 10.18.06 at 8:36 pm

The ‘Garfield’ of Wednesdays…

5 Lauri 10.18.06 at 8:36 pm

AAAAAHHHH! The cat fell right out of the plane, I swear, just walked right out the cargo door…..god, I hope it’s alright…..

6 Lauri 10.18.06 at 8:37 pm

You bastards. Where is my parachute?

7 Cat 10.18.06 at 8:37 pm

My family calls it the Fur RUg Position. Tim the Cat would nap on teh chair arm that way.

8 Redzilla 10.18.06 at 8:38 pm

This cat looks as though his name ought to be Mooch.
“Hey, man, you got any nip?”

9 RJ 10.18.06 at 8:42 pm

(S)He definitely looks how I feel. Where ish the boy with that damn martini, anywaysh?

10 Dave 10.18.06 at 8:45 pm

I’ll bet he walks funny if he stays there too long

11 NebraskaErin 10.18.06 at 8:45 pm

Sorry, hon, but fergit the to-do list. I had a rough day. Tonight, I relax!

12 Gryph 10.18.06 at 8:45 pm

Oh cuteoverload, how do you always know just how to express my feelings.

Make mine a double.

13 Laurie C 10.18.06 at 8:48 pm

Man, that was how I felt before I even *got* to work this morning.

14 Aubrey 10.18.06 at 8:50 pm

Yeah, yeah, The Thin Man – Nick and Nora, my kind of peeps. Now, just get me my martoonis and get that Asta mutt outta here.

15 chacha 10.18.06 at 8:55 pm

anybody else notice the light shining pinkly through those ears?

16 Redzilla 10.18.06 at 8:56 pm

Yes, chacha, like twin beacons guiding you to the wet bar…

17 moths_are_scary 10.18.06 at 8:56 pm

This is how my neighbor finds me on the mornings when I was too drunk the night before to find my house keys.

18 Daisycat 10.18.06 at 8:56 pm

*mebbe the meeelkmans weel theenk i am a rug hung heere to dries in zee sun…theen I can attack an scoop up zee meeelk. Today zee meelk, tomorrow, zee wurld!!! mebbe.*

19 Jennifer 10.18.06 at 9:04 pm

Man, do I know that feeling…

20 Jaime 10.18.06 at 9:04 pm

That is just too cute.
And exactly how I”m feeling today!

21 Aubrey 10.18.06 at 9:07 pm

“Sure, order another round. Drinks are on me – just put it on my tabby.”

22 Rumi 10.18.06 at 9:10 pm

ROFL! That is EXACTLY how I felt yesterday and today!

And I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned it before, but — Aubrey, yer a friggin’ GENIUS with the punnage! Other peeps here are also brilliant with the puns and jokes and references, but Aubrey is the queen, IMHO.

I particularly like the “tabby” comments, as (1) it’s apropos to cats, and (2) my kittles is a tabby.

23 Mad_Mike 10.18.06 at 9:10 pm

All in all, a very convincing Dean Martin impersonation by the cat.

24 Angela-Eloise 10.18.06 at 9:13 pm

Aubrey, you are so bad! In a good kinda way. :)

Martinis all around!

25 Jackie from Michigan 10.18.06 at 9:13 pm

That’s the last time I hire a watchcat for my apartment…now the kitteh is plastered and all of my silverware is missing!

26 ali 10.18.06 at 9:17 pm

man, i’m drunk right now.

actually, i’m not. damnit.

27 Brie 10.18.06 at 9:18 pm

Me and the kitty feel exactly the same way today. Hee.

28 chet's momma 10.18.06 at 9:28 pm

*cracking open a beer* it’s Happy Hour somewhere!

29 najjie 10.18.06 at 9:34 pm

What I’d like to know is… once kitty is laying down like that, how does he get back up without falling off?

30 Jenne 10.18.06 at 9:39 pm

“Man, that was how I felt before I even *got* to work this morning.”

Precisely.
Blah.

31 Aoide 10.18.06 at 9:55 pm

That is the perfect example of the verb ‘flump’- To flump is to just flop down and…well, basically you end up looking like Mr. Squishums, here. Just sprawled.

32 hrh.squeak 10.18.06 at 9:55 pm

“He’s not heaaaveeeeey, he’s mah kiii-teeeeeeh!”

(Sung inbetween huffs of a marmie)

33 mariser 10.18.06 at 10:03 pm

when the picture started loading I thought “whee, a racoon. finally!”

…but kitteh is good.
VERY good
/where’s his martini? WAITER!

34 mariser 10.18.06 at 10:09 pm

the illustration of the phrase “a lump o’ floof”

35 Kris, in New England 10.18.06 at 10:12 pm

Holy crap – I turned away to let my PC load the page, got caught up watching some TV and when I turned back…I haven’t laughed THAT hard in a LONG time.

Meg – you may have just outdone yourself (no small thing either) on this post. My GOD!

36 Tony James 10.18.06 at 10:13 pm

“What, you want I should move? Do me a favour, bub – it’s freakin’ Wednesday. You’re lucky I’m still breathing. Just bummed, man.”

37 suda nim 10.18.06 at 10:21 pm

That’s not floof — it’s velcro.

38 chet's momma 10.18.06 at 10:25 pm

AAAAAAUUUGH! I just found a giant waterbug, dead in my house! My kitty must have killed it! Whatever should I do????? never saw a bug here before! Not cute NOT CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAGGGHHHHHH!!!

39 toughbubble 10.18.06 at 10:26 pm

Ok. For all of you who wonder as much as I did where the frig HUMP DAY came from….dundundun….

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hump_day

Go there… scrollllll down and you will solve the mystery many of us have wondered for years

40 Zap 10.18.06 at 10:33 pm

Red pandas lie like that on tree branches in the zoo. My husband thinks they’re stuffed, and the keepers move them to a different branch every few nights.
How DOES he get up?

41 Skielar 10.18.06 at 10:37 pm

I was hoping the same thing Mariser and was quite disappointed when this fluffball appeared.

42 suda nim 10.18.06 at 10:58 pm

This is absolutely unrelated to anything, but I just found out about this and HAVE to share the love.

Bad music, bad lyrics, bad voices, bad dancing. Five stars:

http://video.google.de/videoplay?docid=-8610362188397291938&q=worst+music+video+ever

43 Aubrey 10.18.06 at 11:17 pm

chet’s momma – glory in its demise. Laugh – LAUGH! HAHA! Dead bug – I spit on your carcass!! I curse your family and your kind!

Then give it a ‘burial at sea’.

44 Brak_Silverbone 10.18.06 at 11:20 pm

I know how you feel, pusskins. I really do.

45 hrh.squeak 10.18.06 at 11:20 pm

Suda – that’s IT. You Broke My Brain.

Lordy, that was funny. Can’t wait till my hubby gets home so I can break *his* brain with this. Heeheeheee.

46 Carrie 10.18.06 at 11:21 pm

This kitteh looks like his parents were a skunk and a raccoon…no *wonder* it’s all flopped out!

47 camryl 10.18.06 at 11:24 pm

What’s with the “Glenn Beck’s got an issue with porn!” ad in the sidebar? Not that I’m offended, it’s just… unexpected.

48 mariser 10.18.06 at 11:28 pm

camryl,

’tis just an ad. helps pay the bills.

49 mariser 10.18.06 at 11:29 pm

and for the record, Glenn Beck is an asshat.

50 TFMS 10.18.06 at 11:57 pm

Can I just say that cute overload is the best thing on the web, and Meg rulz? My vocabulary has changed utterly since I discovered CO. The comments are the best and oh the cuteness.

I done died and went on up to heaven.

51 Chilli 10.19.06 at 12:04 am

OMG Suda . . . .

That link is a freaking TRAIN CRASH.. I didn’t want to watch, but, weeeeeeeelllll, it was just so damn bad it was great!!!!

52 chet's momma 10.19.06 at 12:09 am

b-b-b-but, Aubrey…..his antennees were as long as his bod-deeee!!!! [still running 'round house in horror] Chet, however, is quite pleased with himself. Good kitty!

53 Aubrey 10.19.06 at 12:17 am

chet’s momma:

I understand, believe me, I understand.

Would it be wrong to set it afire? Probably. Look, avert your eyes and dispose of The Creature.

Here, have some pudding (turns around so chet’s momma won’t see me stirring in a fistful of Prozac).

54 misscrisp 10.19.06 at 12:29 am

Aubrey…I lof you (in an admiring authoress kind of way).
You can put a drink on my tabby anytime.

chet’s momma…lots lots lots LOTS of paper towels, such that there is no risk of contact (shudder) and don’t forget to praise your kitteh for bringin home the (gross-bug-shaped) bacon!

55 Julie 10.19.06 at 12:35 am

Did anyone else notice the tiny red trinagles showing on the inside of his ears??

56 Lizzy 10.19.06 at 12:40 am

Oh sweet Floofy McDroopersons, I feel ya. What’s say we just go curl up in a sun puddle until Friday night, huh?

57 Martha in Washington 10.19.06 at 12:43 am

“Someone git me a martini.” Looks like he’s already had two or ten. I wish I could get that relaxed.

58 MarMar 10.19.06 at 12:57 am

I’m simply awed by the size of those paws!

59 MarMar 10.19.06 at 1:04 am

And Suda, I’m not so sure that video is “unrelated to anything.” Wasn’t one of those women sashayin’ across the stage holding a cat?

60 julia2 10.19.06 at 1:06 am

burial at sea sounds appropriate for the kitty-catch. my pet mice got “real” burials at sea.. it was actually kinda brutal and not so enviro-friendly.. bodies wrapped in paper towel inside yogurt containers inside paper bags w/their names on them, then thrown off a jetty.. they kinda bobbed..

61 suda nim 10.19.06 at 1:07 am

*Hope* it was a cat. Considering that one of the dance moves executed by the real tall guy appeared to be Sychronized Nose-Picking, anything could have been going on.

62 Lauri 10.19.06 at 1:13 am

Yep, yep, you peeps got it right, Aubrey is our queen…ok, Meg is the Empress, Aubrey the queen.

I bring a dead waterbug to the altar of each in homage.

Chet’s momma, definitely dispose of said crayture, and then…a martini! All will be well!

suda…the HORROR. I will probably dream of that video….*shudder*…but…thanks for sharing, I really was laughing out loud!

An apology…earlier today I posted my blog addy about a friend’s dog. Well, after I did that (way after) I remembered it’s not polite to advert your own blog on someone else’s. Sorry, ’twas truly just a brainfart. My brain gets gassier with each passing (so to speak) day.

63 A thinker 10.19.06 at 1:27 am

L!O!L!

Man, I LOVE cats. This just reminds me why.

64 Lauri 10.19.06 at 1:40 am

six dee

65 suda nim 10.19.06 at 1:46 am

I once needed to dispose of a dead pet mouse, and garbage day was a few days off (no, I’m not too sentimental about the pets once they’re gone). So I put it in an empty coffee can and put that in the freezer.

A day later, my then-boyfriend said “I am never going in your freezer again.”

The Carl Hiassen novel “Sick Puppy” contains a similar bit with a several-foot-long lizard, who, as he puts it, sleeps with the Dove bars. Iin the intro he says this is based on a true incident.

66 suda nim 10.19.06 at 1:50 am

That would be Hiaasen.

67 Teri 10.19.06 at 2:13 am

LMAO!!!! My hockey team is losing dismally and the game itself was pretty boring, so upstairs I go, head over here to CO and see this! I soooooo needed the laugh!

68 chica y gatitas 10.19.06 at 2:22 am

Yep. Gimmie somma dat ‘tini. I am a gin gal, meself. Hah!

69 cafegrrl 10.19.06 at 4:07 am

That made me totally bust up. Too funny. Thanks for a great Wednesday laugh.

70 holly bees 10.19.06 at 4:40 am

this is a fine specimen.

71 lauowolf 10.19.06 at 6:43 am

The most amazing thing about this cat is that his eyes are open.

72 Lyds 10.19.06 at 7:30 am

Two Words…

Sufferin’ Succotash!!!

73 chet's momma 10.19.06 at 9:35 am

thanks, guys *sniffs* DIE, waterbug! [sorry, dude, can't have ya in the house] now to sleep off this hang-over!

74 Lisa 10.19.06 at 9:53 am

I am laughing so hard right now. I love the peeved face on that animal.

75 Riikka 10.19.06 at 10:03 am

suda, I’m so ashamed to admit that I come from the same country as those…”people”. And as much as I’d like to say that the song sounds much better in Finnish, I can’t.
The sad thing is that guy, Danny, is STILL singing – not this song thankfully, though.

*cries from shame*

76 Kay 10.19.06 at 10:14 am

At least Wednesday isn’t Tuesday aka “a case of the” MoondayOverload Hangovers, still one more long day till the “overpass” of the work week.

Hell

At least it’s actually Thursday! Only two more days till I get time to me (I gotta wait till Sunday)!

77 Lauri 10.19.06 at 10:35 am

*pats Riika* Don’t worry, dear, every country has a “Danny”. It’s not your fault.

And, yay!, it IS Thursday!

78 chilledcat 10.19.06 at 1:29 pm

~nodding head in agreement~

79 jaypo 10.19.06 at 2:10 pm

Beercat. HA!

80 Deborah 10.19.06 at 3:32 pm

OMG! That looks like my sorely missed, sadly departed Louis! He, too, lounged anywhere he could.(heavy sigh)

81 Sabba 10.19.06 at 3:52 pm

Can we…. can we extend this to Thursday as well? Augh. I need a very large martini.

82 suda nim 10.19.06 at 4:15 pm

Re the bad video: Armi, sadly, is no longer with us, but Danny is still going. Here’s a recent video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vrfJzgxOhU

This one was just plain painful. I could only watch about 30 seconds, although the banana-seat bike and the giant mosquitoes make it rather surreal.

The years have not been kind to Danny. A co-worker says it looks like he’s off the heroin but still on the methadone.

83 Aubrey 10.19.06 at 4:29 pm

Look guys – it’s just a cat. Merely a cat. A meerkat.

84 Theo 10.19.06 at 4:37 pm

[MEER]
[MEER]
[MEER]
…for beer

85 jaypo 10.19.06 at 5:14 pm

“Beercat. HA!”

Beatya to it, Aubrey!!

86 HelloKnitty 10.19.06 at 5:17 pm

OMG, Meg, thank you for posting this picture! I have been waiting eversolong for you to stumble across my submission. I knew you’d likey.

Brief bio on teh kitteh: His name is Wiglet and he lives with my inlaws in the great state of Maine.

87 Aubrey 10.19.06 at 5:22 pm

All creatures at some point in their lives should be named Wiglet.

(turns to lob a slingshot of pudding at JP):

And it’s INSTANT, too!

88 A thinker 10.19.06 at 5:27 pm

WIGLET! That has just made my brain asplode.

I think someday, somewhere, I shall have to acquire a kitty and name him Wiglet.

89 HelloKnitty 10.19.06 at 5:27 pm

Wiglet got his name because when he was a tinybabykitteh (talk about your cute overload) he climbed up my husband’s back and sat on his head. You know, like a little wig?

Plus, there’s the happy coincidence of Wiglet being teh crazy.

90 jaypo 10.19.06 at 5:42 pm

YAGHHHH! *Vanillin* poo-ie

91 Theo 10.19.06 at 5:52 pm

Peeps… if yer gunna sling teh puddins… use one of these:
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/855ardmore/images/kitty%20and%20firetruck.jpg
High-pressure hoses, y’know.

92 AuntieMame 10.19.06 at 5:55 pm

Heh! If he tried to be your husband’s wig now, hubby would get a concussion. Or whiplash. :-)

What are the red spots on the tips of Wiglet’s ears?

93 Aubrey 10.19.06 at 5:58 pm

T., that apparatus is clearly used for slinging marmalade.

94 HelloKnitty 10.19.06 at 6:16 pm

The red spots are sunlight on the backs of his ears. Those are the ear-parts that aren’t lousy with fur.

95 Theo 10.19.06 at 6:23 pm

Aubrey — that works, too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmalade

96 ceejoe 10.19.06 at 6:37 pm

So HelloKnitty – how does Wiglet get up from there without falling off???

97 Subhangi 10.19.06 at 6:38 pm

[sigh] For once, I wish I REALLY would die of the cuteness.

98 A thinker 10.19.06 at 7:25 pm

I think that here Wiglet must be exhibiting his kittenish behaviour, except he’s found something big enough to support his adult weight. And yes, I think if he tried to be a human wig again, said human would be suffering from some sort of injury afterward.

99 HelloKnitty 10.19.06 at 7:26 pm

CeeJoe: Easily, for Wiglet’s skeleton is made of rubber.

Limberest. Cat. Ever.

100 Emc^2 10.19.06 at 7:37 pm

My (much-missed) Monty used to sleep this way on anything suitable; we called it his ‘leopard on a branch imitation’.

To rise from the position, one leans back a bit and pulls up the front paws onto the resting place, then leans forward and pulls up the rear paws. One is now sitting on the resting place with all four paws, and can proceed from there as desired…

101 --MC 10.19.06 at 7:51 pm

Hurrah for Wiglet! So that’s what he looks like.
I once dated a girl who kept frozen moles in her freezer for taxidermy projects.

102 MamaDawn 10.19.06 at 7:56 pm

MC, I assume the molecicles are why you refer to your relationship in the past tense…..

103 Lauri 10.19.06 at 8:38 pm

Omg, I was picturing frozen moles….like freckle moles. Sheeeee, which is worse? Varmints, or skinlumps?

And suda nim, woman, why did you have to share THAT video with us….there are enough awful things stored in my brain as it is!!!!!

Wiglet is the bomb! ;)

And the Marmalade Puddingpult….oh so perfect, T-O!!!

104 suda nim 10.19.06 at 11:10 pm

Live to serve, Lauri.

105 Aubrey 10.19.06 at 11:37 pm

Except when you’re out of bounds, ‘nim.

106 Lauri 10.19.06 at 11:39 pm

Gotta love ya both!

107 Lauri 10.19.06 at 11:40 pm

Are we set?
Are we game?

Are we gamey?

108 Lauri 10.19.06 at 11:42 pm

Ok, here is my favorite “antispam robot” test number

n2b3pp

109 Aubrey 10.19.06 at 11:53 pm

“Are we set?
Are we game?”

Are we in the same racket?

110 AmyH 10.20.06 at 12:11 am

Gah! That video! The earworm! Now I have to listen to the Bananaphone song to supercede “I want to love you tender”. And I even looked at the other video because I never really see “banana-seat bike” and “giant mosquitos” used in the same sentence. Now I know why.

111 AmyH 10.20.06 at 12:16 am

Oh, and ‘gamey’ is a word that doesn’t get used often enough. It must be a Michigan word – my family uses it all the time. Not that we’re smelly people, mind you. We also say “dooryard” and other words people think we make up.

112 Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 10.20.06 at 12:29 am

Spaid and Spent kitteh!

How’s it hangin’?
;oD
Cool pic!

113 suda nim 10.20.06 at 1:11 am

“Is it safe?”

114 suda nim 10.20.06 at 1:13 am

My rottie mix has just finished dinner behind me. He is taking antibiotics, so I’ve mixed yogurt in the food to (a) hide the pills and (b) provide some probiotics.

He now has yogurt on top of his head.

115 Theo 10.20.06 at 2:01 am

LOL Suda Nim. I can *see* it. The whole sequence.

116 suda nim 10.20.06 at 2:13 am

Somehow on a big dog it’s just that much more undignified.

117 AuntieMame 10.20.06 at 2:32 am

Was he eating his food? Or swimming in it? :-)

118 suda nim 10.20.06 at 2:36 am

I think the operative word is “snarf.” He looooooooves yogurt.

119 TastesLikeChicken 10.20.06 at 3:00 am

Suda, I am reporting you to the UN, Amnesty and anyone else I can think of for inflicting “cruel and unusual punishment” on the peeps. Sadist!

120 cutiness freak 10.20.06 at 3:30 am

pancake kitty!!!!

121 Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 10.20.06 at 8:57 am

Spaid = splayed
typoville to the max!
LOL!

122 Lauri 10.20.06 at 9:39 am

Hee! Rottie with yogurt on his head!!! Double hee!

Makes up for singing Danny. *shudders at the name*

123 Jen 10.20.06 at 10:57 am

I love this cat, she/he looks just like my late cat, Stavia, who passed away almost four years ago. (sigh) Her markings were so distinct, it’s nice to see there are others like her out there.

124 carolina 10.20.06 at 1:03 pm

He’s big, he’s beautiful. He DRAPES.

125 donnaeileen 10.20.06 at 3:24 pm

Not only is this my favorite place to get my cute fix, EVERYBODY here is just so darn nice! Not like most places on the Web…

126 Theo 10.21.06 at 3:30 am

I am *so* tempted to say “AH F#@% OFF” right now, because I am a naughty Theo.

127 hrh.squeak 10.21.06 at 9:42 am

Oooh, naughty Theo! A spanking! A spanking!!

128 Leon the Cat 10.23.06 at 11:34 am

My brother Raymond sprawls out like that. But if he did it on a railing like that one, he would fall off!

129 cat 11.01.06 at 7:04 am

You don’t need to have a martini if you are a cat.

130 mmbeattie 11.02.06 at 3:33 pm

I think this guy is more interested in a can of beer than a highbrow martini.
