I can see… an ocean in yer eyes…

by Meg on November 15, 2006

…OK, OK, sorry for the 9TH GRADE pick-up-line title there. However, may I point out "I see an ocean in your eyes" is not nearly as bad as "I have something in my… eye!" [leaning in for the kiss.] THAT wins worst line evar. Worked too—right, Dave?

But serious, you CAN see teeny boats in them thar eyes.

"Zip" the kitten is the sweetest name. Thanks, Julie B. >^•^<

Oh, sweet lord, is that kitty a cutie!!!

2 Lauri 11.15.06 at 8:53 pm

Zippety do dah! My o my what a wonderful gaze!

3 EliottM 11.15.06 at 8:53 pm

Omigod it is totally worth the load time for the big version of this pic. The texture in the eyes is a-MAY-zing.

4 katherine 11.15.06 at 8:53 pm

5 ShelleyTambo 11.15.06 at 8:53 pm

I think I have a new favorite shade of blue.

6 Skwerly 11.15.06 at 8:53 pm

OMG…I can’t believe I was the first comment on a post…

Day-um . . . those are some seriously devastating eyes! Absolutely gorgeous.

8 Renee 11.15.06 at 8:57 pm

Oh I am in love!! Can I have the kitty?????

9 Dara 11.15.06 at 8:58 pm

Oh, the felinity! The devastation! The kittehs falling dead of envy! The humans falling dead of CO!

11 Noelegy 11.15.06 at 9:00 pm

What bodaciously blue eyes! But they’ll be just as lovely once they lose their kitten blue. Great shot!

12 Otter 11.15.06 at 9:01 pm

Awww, it hurts to look at.
So cute!
Must… cuddle!

13 Zombie 11.15.06 at 9:01 pm

That kitteh gets any and every thing it wants.

14 Elise 11.15.06 at 9:02 pm

It wasn’t her eyes that caught me it was her wee neck holding up her head.

15 Redzilla 11.15.06 at 9:04 pm

[covers eyes, in case Skwerly is getting in for more than expected]

It’s not the eyes in this pick that pwn me–it’s the nosicle. The sort of thing that gets me into trouble. I want to kiss kiss kisskisskiss the nosicle until kitteh gets mad and bites mah nosicle.

16 NebraskaErin 11.15.06 at 9:04 pm

Them thar eyes ain’t cute. Nope, not cute at all. The pink lips? Cute. The moist nosicle? Cute. Wee paws? Cute. That kitten-skinny neck? Hella-cute. But the eyes are freaking devastatingly beautiful.

17 raymi 11.15.06 at 9:07 pm

not to mention how tiny/short those arms are in ratio to its head! LOVE IT.

18 Aubrey 11.15.06 at 9:10 pm

“With eyes just like the sea
Somewhere waitin’ for me
A kitteh stands as CO fans
Are watching their hearts get to failin’.

With eyes just like the sea
Kitteh’s watchin’ for me
If pets my landlord would let me buyyyyyyy
Then straight to kitteh I’d go sailin’.”

19 EricaE 11.15.06 at 9:11 pm

Soooo cute!

Though, I have to say the worst pick-up line I’ve heard was hollered at me out car window as I walking to a class… mumble, mumble years ago. And I quote… Ahem…

“Hey, baby! How’d you like some fries to go with that shake.”

Eeep!

20 Lauri 11.15.06 at 9:17 pm

I vote them the “Most Kissable Cat Lips Ever.”

21 NebraskaErin 11.15.06 at 9:17 pm

Couldn’t help it. Skinneh Kitteh Neck had to become my desktop picture.

22 indigoreiki 11.15.06 at 9:20 pm

OMG, look at that lil’ face. Can’t resist …that level of cuteness would get that baby anything!

23 de 11.15.06 at 9:26 pm

That is the most beautiful kitten photo in the history of the world.

24 Arvay 11.15.06 at 9:26 pm

“Skinneh Kitteh Neck”

Bwahahahahaha!!!

25 TheLoveofIsis 11.15.06 at 9:26 pm

:: Gasp :: Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Oh my gosh, those eyes are the most astonishing blue I’ve ever seen, and yes, I vote too for most kissable kitteh lips EVAR.

26 Laurie C 11.15.06 at 9:28 pm

“That is the most beautiful kitten photo in the history of the world.”

Until the next kitten, that is.

27 rio_kitty 11.15.06 at 9:29 pm

cutest kitty evah!! :)

28 Laura 11.15.06 at 9:32 pm

Oh, /my/ ….

That is just the most beautiful kitten… :D

(Also “Zip”? Hee!)

29 Redzilla 11.15.06 at 9:33 pm

NebErin: you are right. Skinny kitteh neck is crazy cute. So wobbly…how does it hold giant head up?

30 cat 11.15.06 at 9:37 pm

the eyes coordinate with teh towel. That’s just cool!

31 Theo 11.15.06 at 9:39 pm

RedZ? Naughty. Tsk.
You too, Skwerly.

32 piegrrrl 11.15.06 at 9:44 pm

OMG, they’re MoodRing Blue!

33 Holly 11.15.06 at 9:44 pm

Oooh! Muzzle puff, little pink lips, big blue eyes, tiny claws! I can’t help myself!

SQUEEEE!!!!

*passes out*

34 Mary 11.15.06 at 9:46 pm

Aubrey, I must thank you for the Bobby Darin song. Delightful!

And the gorgeous kitten…. are those really kittenblue eyes or maybe his/her eyes will stay blue? Usually kittenblue is more gray from what I remember. Maybe kitten is part Siamese?

35 katherine 11.15.06 at 9:46 pm

is that somebody’s hair under the kitty’s right paw?

36 Pocky 11.15.06 at 9:49 pm

Yay! Pretty kitty eyes! I think I’ve just found the newest wallpaper for my desktop.

37 Perosha 11.15.06 at 9:49 pm

Adorable bobblehead kitty! How does he support the weight of those enormous blue eyes?

38 AmyH 11.15.06 at 9:50 pm

Thanks, Aubrey, for a fantastic earworm. Now my co-workers will have to cope with my bad Bobby Darin impersonation for the rest of the day.

Somewhere, with this kitty
co-workers are running from me
covering ears with helpless hands
and wishing my voice would go failin’

39 The Guy Over There 11.15.06 at 10:00 pm

That cat’s been hanging out with the kangaroo rat. Those eyes definitely look like a sign that it’s been dipping in the spice.

40 MOFO 11.15.06 at 10:11 pm

pocky, you have a delicious name.

41 Aubrey 11.15.06 at 10:14 pm

This one’s a little older, I think.

“Blue eyes,
you saw me typing alone
not knowing where I should start
I have no pet of my own.

Blue eyes,
PR is what I’ve been hired for
A raise I’m saying a prayer for
But I still want a kitteh to care for.

And then there suddenly was posted before me,
the bonniest kitteh I would ever behold
I heard it purring, “Please adore me.”
and when I looked,
it purred, “You’ll feed me I’m told.”

Blue eyes,
Though at my desk I’m alone
I now have hope in my heart
I’ll have a kit of my own.”

42 acelightning 11.15.06 at 10:16 pm

The tinyness! The perfect tabby markings! The uncertain, pleading expression! But most of all… THE EYES!
*falls over in a dead faint*

43 daisycat 11.15.06 at 10:24 pm

oh…goodness…(hands over last will and testament) *SPLODE*

44 megan 11.15.06 at 10:25 pm

I was waiting for an “awww, look at the little pawsitude.” I think the meg-lingo is catchy! Must be a meg thing!

45 m in athens 11.15.06 at 10:32 pm

ummm… may I add to the litany of devistating adorability TINY TEETH! TINY TEETH! TINY TEETH!

46 Claudia 11.15.06 at 10:39 pm

Cuteness and lovely earworms. What a website. Outstanding, Aubrey!

47 Positive Jube 11.15.06 at 10:43 pm

The little whisker follicles on the muzzpuff. :)

48 Theo 11.15.06 at 10:44 pm

Nice, Aubrey. I like the Cowboy Junkies version especially, from “The Trinity Session,” so I hear it in Margo Timmins’ voice.

49 Laurie C 11.15.06 at 10:58 pm

“The Trinity Sessions” recorded in downtown Toronto! w00t!

Not to try and compete with this kitty photo, because not much comes close, but I offer up two portraits of former Boxcar Kitten Palmerston, taken last week, a day or so before he moved on to his proper foster home. He wound up staying with me for a whole month and became a real little love bug.

50 Redzilla 11.15.06 at 11:01 pm

Secret confe-shon: this little kitteh is cute, but Palmerston and Boxcar M–those two pwn me completely, Laurie C. Don’t know how you parted with them.

51 Redzilla 11.15.06 at 11:03 pm

(but my faves are their Glamour Shots on the red sofa fabulousness. I got those in my rotating desktop pics.)

52 Laurie C 11.15.06 at 11:04 pm

*Red* sofa, *Red*zilla. Makes sense to me.

53 Aubrey 11.15.06 at 11:12 pm

Palmerston on the Chair of Uncharted Charm. Beautiful, LC.

54 Golden 11.15.06 at 11:23 pm

JEEEZUS… Just kill me now.

55 musicchick2 11.15.06 at 11:28 pm

SUCH a beeyootiful face! What a lovely little life. God is good and all is right in His heaven.

56 caroline 11.15.06 at 11:34 pm

I want a nose-kiss!

57 albatross 11.15.06 at 11:36 pm

ok, everyone. let’s just calm down now. nothin’ to see here, no kitties, nada. clear out.
*waits til everyone is gone… then snatches kitteh!!!*

i am drowning in the luscious blue of your eyes, kitty. have mercy on meh! throw me the life preserver of your luuuuuuuuuuv.

I hope his eyes don’t fade. i have an adult cat with blue eyes, though they are not fabulous TURQUOISE like these and my cat is part siamese…

58 Leisa 11.15.06 at 11:48 pm

Ohhh, I welcome my Cute Overlord!

59 zenith 11.15.06 at 11:57 pm

If that kitten asked me to kill for it, I would. Without question.

60 Keeker 11.16.06 at 12:17 am

Classic cute. Cute Overload at its finest. This is what cuteness is all about, people.

Four stars.

61 Chilli 11.16.06 at 12:33 am

Hey peeps is Zip the wonder kitteh a munchkin? Coz they’s some serious short wittle arms

62 Lilly 11.16.06 at 12:34 am

Not to get all buddhist on everyone, but those eyes speak something far more reaching than the little kitteh’s lifetime.

63 Pocky 11.16.06 at 12:59 am

‘pocky, you have a delicious name.’

Thanks, MOFO. Just don’t try to nibble on me, ‘kay? I get that a lot.

64 artschild 11.16.06 at 1:14 am

STOP everyone! Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT look into the eyes!!! It’s mind control! That’s how they get you! Stop, right now… oh my god, I’m too late… must… not… look… GAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh *pop*

65 Karen in Toronto 11.16.06 at 1:37 am

Blue eyes – check.
Nosicle – check.
Muzzlepuff and wiskahs – check.
Serious M-brows and serious mouth?
Ring around the collar (wanting to scritch it now)?
Claws to cling with on eye-matching sweater? Ouchies.

66 CatFreak 11.16.06 at 1:37 am

I am in luhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhvv!!!

Stop slaying me with your aqua eyes, o kitteh! Have mercy!

67 Christine 11.16.06 at 2:01 am

This little dude is my grandson! He is so sweet and special!

68 jaypo 11.16.06 at 2:17 am

I am smitten
With this kitten.
The eyes of turquoise
Wreck my poise.

69 jaypo 11.16.06 at 2:18 am

LaurieC, Palmerston is a stunner! You should be proud of that boyboy.

70 Jackie from Michigan 11.16.06 at 2:33 am

Just when I thought Denis Leary had the most beautiful baby blues, here comes this kitteh with his beeea-utiful aqumarine peepers. Gaah! :P OIT:

71 Adalia 11.16.06 at 2:40 am

My kitty has blue eyes… but he’s probably part Siamese, he has the kink in his tail. =/ He was born pure white but now he’s got seal-point Siamese-like markings and his fur and general appearance is like a main coon. And he’s hyuge.

72 Rorye 11.16.06 at 2:50 am

Do you know Mua’d Dib, Guy Over There? The kitteh’s eyes don’t count because you can see his pupil, but I enjoyed the reference muchly! :) :)

This kitteh might be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Really.

73 kcat 11.16.06 at 3:01 am

A little kitten with eyes of blue
And wee little teeth just peeking out
Such a cute muzzlepuff and tiny ears
You make me happy and calm my fears
Of endless chats on cats in racks
And peepers worried about on what they can snack
Oh little kitten how I love you
It makes me want to sing and shout

74 Diana 11.16.06 at 3:23 am

That’s sooo cute!

75 JCat 11.16.06 at 3:57 am

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

76 pookiepuff 11.16.06 at 4:04 am

okay Meg…this one really makes my ovaries hurt.
owshe.

79 Monique 11.16.06 at 10:16 am

hah hah hah, misscrisp, nice one!

Maybe there should be a new rule of cuteness regarding head to neck ratio? This lil guy’s teensy neck holding up his big fluffy head is just so cute!

I REALLY want to tickle his widdle chin! REALLY!

82 D.R. 11.16.06 at 11:01 am

Giant kitty eyes… staring… staring…

Vaporized!

83 Lauri 11.16.06 at 12:12 pm

Lucky lucky you, Karen in Toronto! We want pics, pronto!

I can see The Universe in this kitten’s eyes.

And, then, I can scroll down and read the Uni-verse by All The Peeps!

What could be better????

84 Laurie C 11.16.06 at 12:40 pm

YAY, karen in toronto, being so kind-hearted to take in another kitten. He will never be wet and cold again.

87 A thinker 11.16.06 at 1:41 pm

Why, oh why must kitties be so cute when I cannot have one…

88 jaypo 11.16.06 at 1:45 pm

Karen in T, your kitten story has brought a smile to my face and warmed a heart cockle. Bless you for your kindness.

And this kittie just turns me into a zombie. 0.0

89 ezreader 11.16.06 at 1:55 pm

A contribution from an older member:
four-foot oooh,
eyes of blue but
OH what those four feet can do,
has anybody seen my kit?
Turned-up nose, turned-down tose,
charmer, yessir, one of those,
has anybody seen my kit?
Still in love with CO

90 carolina 11.16.06 at 3:04 pm

I think my brain and heart just melted at the same time . . . ((sigh))

91 jaypo 11.16.06 at 3:30 pm

ezreader, that’s CUTE!

92 Mad_Mike 11.16.06 at 4:06 pm

93 Nina 11.16.06 at 4:47 pm

Those are the cutest blue eyes I’ve ever seen :)

94 ezreader 11.16.06 at 5:06 pm

Thank you, Jaypo, you made my day. I will never be among the greats like Theo and Aubrey and Pyrit and you and the other CO witmeisters but Jaypo said my bit was CUTE!!!

95 LB 11.16.06 at 5:08 pm

Sheesh, here I am having a serious CO meltdown behind this kitteh divinity and then you peeps go all poetic and such and just kill me.

you people rule.

96 Noelegy 11.16.06 at 5:54 pm

Blue eyes
Shining at me
Nothing but blue eyes
Do I see

97 Theo 11.16.06 at 6:09 pm

[smirking] …thanks for the props, EZ Reader.
Is your screen-name an Electric Company reference, btw? Morgan Freeman?

98 RJ 11.16.06 at 6:30 pm

It’s all over now…. I can’t stand it anymore…. oh! the cuteness!…. the terminal cuteness!!!!

99 ezreader 11.16.06 at 7:54 pm

Theo- you are so with it it’s unBEARable. Yup, I did love Morgan Freeman but also use the name because I am a librarian and ride a Vespa, sometimes in my Library Raid (SWAT) outfit, my plate says “Coolit” Remember, Read responsibly.

100 chilledcat 11.16.06 at 8:30 pm

This is the most best adorable ever kitteh face pic. He’s leaning in for the super snorgle!

101 Lauri 11.16.06 at 9:21 pm

ezreader, not only was it cute, I now have the earworm in residence! :)

102 annie 11.16.06 at 9:25 pm

are those teeny teefs i see? i think they are…

106 Luckycliff 11.17.06 at 12:38 am

All day long, off in the distance, I have been hearing this sound: squee *poit*. Now I know why!

107 Laura 11.17.06 at 1:17 am

And to think that this was once my screensaver! I miss Zippy’s mommy!

108 Julie B 11.17.06 at 12:02 pm

Zippy is a sweet little boy!

109 Tiffany 11.17.06 at 6:17 pm

I’m not sure if I’ve ever said this before, but that cat is absolutely beautiful.

110 taijiya 11.17.06 at 10:44 pm

The blue-eyed kitteh steals souls
Cute Overloaders
die squeeing at teh cuteness

Yeah, not one of my better haiku, but my brain is barely functional after such viewing such transcendent cute. ::faints::

111 Theo 11.18.06 at 1:58 am

Taijiya — erm…

Minimalism
Captured in a bit of verse
It’s five-seven-five.

112 Remzy 11.18.06 at 5:47 am

what the ………..
best shot EVER! honest.

113 Brak_Silverbone 11.18.06 at 11:57 pm

Look at the pretty white eyeliner and eyeshadow this ‘itten is wearing! Not to mention those blue, blue eyes.

Blue eyes,
Kitty’s got blue eyes,
Like a blue, blue sea
on a blue, blue day.

(with apologies to Elton John)
