    Good Gravy, check out the fangs!

  2. katerpie says:

    If I was going on a quest, I would take this little guy. Darn right.

  3. Bowen29 says:

    OMG! That is the cutest safety device I’ve ever seen! Can I take one to the hospital with me next week for my surgery? He can keep the doctors in line!

  4. Marf says:

    Eeeeeeeeeeeeeep! Too much!

    *dies of cuteness*

  5. merri says:

    Sign me up for one! He is so fierce and so mighty…killer rabbits beware!

  6. Jasper says:

    Absolutely ferocious

  7. Lillith says:

    I dunno I might need two just to feel REALLY safe.

  8. ShelleyTambo says:

    No one would dare cross this kitty.

  9. Karen in Toronto says:

    One in a shoulder holster, and a backup strapped to my thigh under my pinafore.

  10. NebraskaErin says:

    Fierce little kitteh!

    At the very least, he can distract my enemies with his cuteness whilst I scamper away.

  11. Pocky says:

    Can I take two since they’re small? I’ll share, I promise…

  12. Aubrey says:

    I will admit
    That it is fit
    To keep a kit
    Inside a mitt
    For a lonely trip
    Where it isn’t lit.

    Semper Feline, little kitteh!

  13. Theo says:
  14. Redzilla says:

    Kitteh: “Back off, man. Don’t be gettin all up our bidness or I might haffa hurt you. Don’t make me bus’ a canine off in you.”

  15. mlle_x says:

    OMG Those little feet! If he can’t kill with the biting he can kill with the cute.

  16. Laurie C says:

    He appears to be laughing in the face of danger. I’d take him along, for sure.

  17. Snu Snu says:

    and i shall raise my sword and bellow “by the power of grayskull!” and point my sword at yonder furball and he shall be my BATTLECAT!!!

  18. Thorne says:

    Dire Housecat in Training! Ee!

    So fierce! ^^

  19. Pigu says:

    Amusing! It’s from The Legend of Zelda btw. http://gc.advancedmn.com/images/media/040104_nes_zelda_ss-01.jpg

  20. AlbertaGirl says:

    All your kitteh are belong to us!

  21. Wooot!! I thought I could call zelda first! More nerds on Cuteoverload? Who’d have thought?

  22. Jenne says:

    O.
    M.
    G.

    That is SO cute!! OMG! No words.. it makes me laugh.. CUTE!!

    And what a pretty color he is too! gosh.

  23. Margo says:

    Yes, just for you CO.

  24. Redzilla says:

    Ack! I was afraid someone else would notice the Zelda ref. Any mention of that game causes my Zelda thumb to start aching. Wasted youth.

  25. adam says:

    let’s play snorgle making game!

  26. EliottM says:

    Nice trend in self-defense, but it won’t work for me. Where I live, you can’t carry a concealed handcat.

  27. Christine says:

    haha, that person looks like they have some extra fingers on their hand. Too cute!

    The cutest cat to ever face slime molds!

  29. chunkstyle says:

    Redzilla, what are you calling wasted youth?? I accomplished so much with my silver bow and arrow by killing that invisible dragon…If I had had this kitten, it would’ve been a different story entirely.

  30. Lori says:

    Hmm..lemme theenk..either a kitten with +1 in piercing ability and +20 in (tewtal) charisma, or a Frodo’s meethril short sword…mm…I takes the fierce wittle keetin of DEATH.

  31. Redzilla says:

    Oh, alright, it wasn’t wasted. Not anymore than I’m wasting my adulthood on CO.

  32. muffincat says:

    Held in off hand.

    +10 stamina
    +10 spirit

    150 armor

    Use: When equipped, the bearer feels much better.

  33. A thinker says:

    I don’t know about danger, but I’d *definitely* feel much better if I had one of these to tote along. *Sigh*

  34. A thinker says:

    LOL, Margo!!

  35. maymee says:

    This will go perfectly with my lucky pants and bandolier of fate.

  36. The Guy Over There says:

    I dunno, he’s got a bit of a “Scrappy Doo” quality about him, this kitty does.

  37. tegan says:

    Yay for the Legend of Zelda reference! How many attack points per a kitten?

  38. Redzilla says:

    Forgot to mention that this is in fact also the Kitteh Kombo Staple Remover/Paper Shredder that goes with the Puppeh Stamp Licker and Bunneh Letter Opener Desk Set.

  39. Laura says:

    Definitely going on the cubicle wall. It might save my life some day…

  40. Erin says:

    This is the best post EVAR! I am sending it to all my friends!

  41. cavalaxis says:

    Best.
    Cute Overload.
    Post
    EVAR.

  42. Renee says:

    I’m taking this to work with me later… some customers need a good cat-whoopping

  43. BonzoGal says:

    I’m printing this out and taking it with me on job interviews. It’ll give me courage… and perhaps some of teh qte will emanate from it and addle the interviewers’ minds long enough for them to decide to hire me.

  44. Laurie C says:

    Godspeed, BonzoGal.

  45. Heather S. says:

    If you listen very closely, you can *almost* hear the hiss.

  46. Kathy says:

    I’m packin’ kittehs and I’m not afraid to use ‘em!

  47. CatFreak says:

    I don’t think that’s a hiss. I think it’s part of a “MEER! MEER! MEER!”

  48. Heather S. says:

    OH ooh Funny Story, the vet I used to work at recieved some ferrell kittens, and they would “hiss” every time someone got near the cage… except it didn’t sound like a hiss, more like a sneeze, “chkeeah! chkeeah!” and EVERYTIME they did it they’re whole bodies would jump back an inch!

  49. Gina says:

    My eardrums hurt just looking at that! MEEEEEEEE!

  50. Rachel says:

    haha hah What 80′s video game is that from? http://www.FunnyAnimalVideos.com

  51. Theo says:

    Heather S — I know that was a typo, BUT, the mental image of a boxful of little Will Ferrell kittens doing the Roxbury head-bob is toooo funny.

  52. Heather S. says:

    nah it’s my brain not working and not knowing how to spell it! hahaha but thanks for the benifit of the doubt!

  53. Aubrey says:

    Bonzo, armed with a res-mew-me like that, you most certainly will succeed. Good luck.

  54. equus says:

    What a fierce leetle kitten! Where can I get one to guard me from all bite-size enemies?

  55. lurkertype says:

    I could face any danger armed with that!

  56. The Guy Over There says:

    It’s from Legend of Zelda. Remember the old man who gives you the wooden sword? Remember? Remember, curse you! REMEMBER OR ELSE I WILL ETCH IT INTO YOUR-

    Sorry, old habits die hard. Anyway, yeah, Legend of Zelda. This begs the question: if you’re at full health, then does this cat shoot little teeth when you use it?

  57. Theo says:

    Conflagration of salt and whirling razors, TGOT. It’s a cat thing.

  58. Vix says:

    I’m surprised this hasn’t been up sooner! I’ve seen it around for several months.

    Next, you’ll say you’ve never seen No Hands.

  59. Theo says:

    INVISIBLE SANDWICH!
    INVISIBLE BIKE!!!

  60. daisycat says:

    Can ah haf ANOTHA, pleease??

  61. A thinker says:

    [chuckling at just the THOUGHT of invisible bike]

  62. Vix says:

    I want an invisible bike!

    Can it play the Pokemon bike music when I ride it too?

  63. Redzilla says:

    “I’m in ur House, takin’ ur seatz.”

    WELCOME TO RAURU

  66. NebraskaErin says:

    “Heather S — I know that was a typo, BUT, the mental image of a boxful of little Will Ferrell kittens doing the Roxbury head-bob is toooo funny.”

    Oh, Theo, I am SO glad I’m not the only one who got that mental picture!!

  67. Brak_Silverbone says:

    So does this mean there’s people who have a tiny windowless room in the basement stocked with canned food, bottled water, sleeping bags, a radio and KITTENS?!

  68. Rafael says:

    +5 you say? Then I guess I can face the vorpal bunny with my cuttie kitteh sword!

    How many XP would that be?

    500?

  69. Meredith says:

    *falls off chair*

    If only I’d known you hadn’t seen that before!

  70. Aubrey says:

    Rafael, tell me how it goes, when you come gallumphing back.

  71. lauowolf says:

    Ooh, it’s getting kinda nuffy over at the other kitten.
    Predictable, of course, by applying the

    –Theory of Nuffingbait–

    Nuffins can’t resist posts of:

    Purebred anything–if people even *look* at something, evil bad people will breed it.
    So hide the cute.

    Baby peoples–with and without animals.
    Babies with little animals endanger the animal; babies with big animals are threatened by them; babies alone are icky.

    Baby or small animals with other animals. Unnatural. Dangerous. Don’t try this at home, folks.

    What am I missing?

  72. AuntieMame says:

    Here, folks. Have a baby lion:

    http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_4631191

  73. lauowolf says:

    Auntie Mame-
    He’s great, but not pocket-sized.
    Maybe some kind of holster arrangement….

  74. jaypo says:

    LOL, lauowolf! I suspected as much and haven’t been over at the other kitteh. Think I’ll go peek…

  75. Rafael says:

    Aubrey:

    It went something like this;

    Me:”Die foul beast!”

    +5 kitteh:”Baroo?” jumps out of my hand.

    Me looking down at empty hand “Oh sh….!”

    Vorpal Bunny:”Rooar!”

    Me:”RUUUNAWAAAAYYYY!!!!”

  76. AuntieMame says:

    Post deletion request. See above…

  77. Aubrey says:

    Mame, at first I thought the writer’s name ‘Dementia Galapagos’. Yep, I sure did. I probably need…(reads up)…what the hell? RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!

  78. Heather S. says:

    WTF Mate did I miss something here, did we just get bi*ch slapped with a bible?

  79. Aubrey says:

    Heather S. -

    A bible thumping, indeed!

  80. little miao says:

    Eeek! Eeek, a cute kitten!

  81. chacha says:

    Save us, mighty kitten! Save us from the bullsh*t threadjack!

  82. Rafael says:

    Ok, I’m girding my loins and bringing my +5 kitty back! Take this!

  83. Emc^2 says:

    Not _the_ Bible, no, since the post says one of the things one must _not_ do is let one’s children become Christians (or male children be circumcised, so not the Torah, either).

    But one of what Dorothy L. Sayers called ‘fancy religions’*, yes.

    * I’m not where I can find the exact quote, and _Gaudy Night_ is still in copyright and not available online, but the comment was to the effect that ‘fancy religions’ cause an immediate deterioration in one’s grammar and/or syntax (which, since the person being discussed is a graduate of Harriet’s college at Oxford, was presumably impeccable once upon a time)

  84. Rafael says:

    Whatever it was, it was rude and it ruined my thread line, bad poster, bad!

  85. Aubrey says:

    Emc2:

    “I can’t think why fancy religions should have such a ghastly effect on one’s grammar.”

    Gaudy Night is my favorite Sayers mystery.

  86. lauowolf says:

    This isn’t off an old Dr. Bronner’s soap, is it?

    Whatever, I point armed kittens in its general direction.

    Nah, going to keep the kitten.

    Fetchez la vache!

  87. Arvay says:

    lauowolf, have you ever read the Doc B’s? It’s actually… not as loony as at first glance. It’s quite sensible, methinks. Anyway I like the phrase “God’s spaceship earth” and his warnings against overpopulation and the ecstatic love poetry on the almond. Only I don’t use almond any more, so am relegated to the more mundane rantings on the peppermint and the lavender.

  88. lauowolf says:

    I’ll confess, I haven’t read one for a *very* long time.
    Think bunches of decades.
    I think they only had peppermint back then.
    And -um- I don’t think I ever read it when I was fully -uh- focussing.
    And the mint was rather ditracting.
    So I mostly remember a whole lot, I mean really a *whole* lot, of words.
    But now that you mention it, I do remember finding it charming in a goofy sort of way.

  89. lauowolf says:

    Oh, and when they say you can use it to brush your teeth?
    I don’t really recommend doing it.

  90. DFC says:

    OH LAWD WHAT IS 4CHAN DOING IN MY CUTE OVERLOAD????

    CUTE, BUT DO NOT WANT!!!!!

  91. kcat says:

    Um, yeah Bling is for clown – if you actually had a point – could you try being concise??? Nobody could wade through all that bull! Sick the cat on him now!!!

  92. kcat says:

    Wow – I thing he befuddled my mind – that would be “sic” not sick – although come to think of it he/she is sick!!

  93. freetomato says:

    Disclaimer: No political message! You wouldn’t want to hear it!

    My dear sweet hubby is in the desert, in a relatively safe place (Thank GOD!) and we communicate via email most days. He is NOT allowed to leave the base (when he is 35,000 feet above the nastiness, I have no say) but since he is a CO junkie now (thanks to me, the enabler) I just had to copy/paste that pic to him!

    Beware bad guys! Kitteh will rip your face off and look cute till the bitter end!

  94. Theo says:

    Spam canned.
    Carry on.

  95. Laurie C says:

    Most excellent!

  96. AuntieMame says:

    Thank you, Theo.

    I didn’t even bother to read it. I just saw six miles of stuff and figured it was pointless crap.

    And I love Lord Peter! Gaudy Night has one of THEEEE most romantic scenes in any book, ever.

  97. lurkertype says:

    I KNEW cute kitties could help world peace, and freetomato’s post proves it.

    Also, glad I missed the spammage.

  98. Theo says:

    AuntieM — I know that scene. The book version gets all Latin and pedantic, though; I like the PBS version where I can understand what they’re saying. (Teh Schmoop does too.)

    BTW, I skimmed the spam, just to make sure. It most certainly was.

  99. Subhangi says:

    YOW. I’d like to keep my fingers, thankyouverymoishe.

  100. AuntieMame says:

    I liked the PBS version of Gaudy Night, except for the very last scene. It needed the Latin. Other than that, I was pretty satisfied (and I’m touchy about book adaptations).

    And even further OT: my copy of “The Two Towers: The Complete Recordings” arrived today! Yahoo! Yay! W00t!

  101. Aubrey says:

    For me, Ian Carmichael is the only Wimsey. So as the early TV versions skipped the Gaudy, I stick with the book. I love the wordiness, the quotations used and the fact that my copy is so yellowed and dog-eared.

    Thanks,T., for the deletion. It wasn’t the type of Spamalot I’d look forward to.

  102. AuntieMame says:

    The only Carmichael I tried to watch was The Nine Tailors and I turned it off after only 30 minutes. They’d changed the story too much and Peter was already too old in the first scene, which was supposed to be 20 years before the real story started.

    I need to find some of the Carmichael audio books, though. I hear they’re very good.

  103. Robert says:

    There’s more where that little guy came from :)

    http://www.knitemare.org/cats/

  104. lauowolf says:

    Theo? Theo?
    What have you done with that can?

  105. scrobble says:

    If all else fails, use kitten.

  106. minnesnowtah says:

    *de-lurk*

    The Loch Ness lurker surfaces, opens one sleepy eye, and comments:

    “Kitteh, protect me from the spam!”

    Nessie dives back to the deep.

    *lurk*

  107. pyrit says:

    lauowolf – maybe Theo needs one of those little white, fold-top, take-out boxes with a wire handle . . .instead of a can.

  108. Darlithia says:

    Pocket sized for your convenience!

  109. Redzilla says:

    I dunno, pyrit, it’s hard to say, “Watch out or I’ma open up a Chinese take-out carton of whoop ass on you. Want egg roll?”

  110. Theo says:

    RedZ — I keep a Big Ol’ Can of Whoop Ass on my desk. Not making this up.
    (Actually it sits on top of my work PC.)

  111. Redzilla says:

    HA! I’ve seen those, Theo. My only question–is it a pop top or do you need a can opener?

    Oh, and I’m kind of annoyed with Vox this morning. I was intending to transition, but I can’t figure out how to post links of my favorite websites. Seems a little incestuous, like I can only link to other Vox blogs?

  112. Theo says:

    Huh?? I post links in my Vox all the time! And in OTHER folks’ Voxes, for that matter, since Vox COMMENTS allow URLs too (unlike the comments in some other closely-related services I could mention).

  113. Redzilla says:

    No, I mean a running column showing my favorite links. I can’t find a way to do it, and I don’t see one on your blog, either.

  114. Theo says:

    Ah, I get you, RedZ. No, I don’t think Vox has that feature.

    I do like their Tags and Collections concepts, though they’re not at all the same.

    You can submit feedback to the Vox admins directly from your console, AND/OR you may want to add “Pants Party” and “Team Vox” to your neighborhood, and post questions & comments there.

  115. Theo says:
  116. anonymous says:

    this is from 4chan

  117. Sari says:

    Where can I get one of those??

  118. Theo says:

    From “4chan”, apparently.

  119. Smiling Jack says:

    Cute cat, apply directly to forehead.
    Cute cat, apply directly to forehead.
    Cute cat, apply directly to forehead.
    Cute cat, apply directly to forehead.

  120. Krystle says:

    You never know when you might need a kitten. Seriously.

  121. Nicole says:

    I totally heart this!

  122. Malanie says:

    This is so cute I didn’t read it right the first time.

    The 2nd time I read “for safety purposes”.

    The 1st time I read “for safety porpoises” and got really confused.

    The cuteness nearly did me in!

  123. Chanty says:

    The Zelda reference makes it even cuter <3

  124. housecat says:

    This is way too adorable.

    It reminds me of something from my childhood. When I was little and I was afraid to go down the dark hallway at night, I’d pick up the cat and carry him with me! He made me feel less scared. Looking back, I honestly don’t know how I thought the cat was going to protect me should something happen. He was sweet and he let me do it, and I was grateful.

  125. Rafael says:

    housecat:

    Cats are also smart, they know that all the claws in the world will not protect them from one scared little girl. Then again, kittens tend to be caring in all sorts of weird and wonderful ways.

  126. Karen in Toronto says:

    I’ve been holding back Fiasco T. (for Ther, in case you were wondering) Peabrain, aka the One-Kitten Wild Bunch, from attacking the purrsor (“im in ur lap…”), and he is now purring contentedly, because he cannot see the purrsor from where he is.

  127. Karen in Toronto says:

    “He looked up; and she was instantly scarlet, as if she had been dipped in boiling water. Through the confusion of her darkened eyes and drumming ears some enormous bulk seemed to stoop over her. Then the mist cleared. His eyes were riveted upon the manuscript again, but he breathed as if he had been running.” What punctuation!

  128. librarypunk says:

    This is what you get in place of the wooden sword in the Master Quest :)

  129. luckycliff says:

    the kitten does 1-4 damage per attack but 25 attacks per round LOL

  130. adam says:

    lmao luckycliff! and snorgling the kitten restores 2d12 hp and 2d6 mp.

  131. Theo says:

    If you can find a polydactyl kitten, it’s 2-5 dmg/attack, plus they’re purple.

  132. Jess says:

    I believe, this too, was created by someone at somethingawful.com
