7 Catman Dude 11.25.06 at 6:43 pm

It’s thw warmest spot in the house!

8 Yoyo 11.25.06 at 6:51 pm

Is that a kitten in your pants, or you just happy to see me?

9 Kimberly 11.25.06 at 6:55 pm

Let’s hope that kitten doesn’t decide to start kneading all of a sudden….that’s an awfully sensitive area to be making biscuits!

iloveusame, HAAA!

14 Faye 11.25.06 at 8:16 pm

I didn’t know that Hobbits had kittens. LOL

15 Miette 11.25.06 at 8:35 pm
16 Miette 11.25.06 at 8:45 pm

I can see Hobbits having kittens as pets, Faye. As long as you don’t mean “Having kittens” as “giving birth to kittens.” Which is just wrong. After all, Hobbits were pretty agrarian. ..
On the other hand, “To have kittens” can be an idiom for getting really mad, flipping out, or going crazy. So maybe that’s what you meant.

17 Miette 11.25.06 at 8:47 pm

oh, is this All Kitten Saturday? Yay!

18 invisibleghost 11.25.06 at 9:11 pm

Right now it is thinking…Please dont fart!

19 lurkertype 11.25.06 at 9:34 pm

TK does this to me, all the time.

Big HEE! to iloveusame.

20 Ginny 11.25.06 at 10:21 pm

Yes, miss souris, there needs to be a new category of “Kitten in a Crotch”! Kaboodle does this all the time with us.

21 Tank 11.25.06 at 10:31 pm

I’m offended. This objectification of men must stop!

22 iloveusame 11.25.06 at 10:46 pm

Fish Eye, I approve the proposed amendment.

29 Lauri 11.26.06 at 1:07 am

Lol…yeah to the guys standing up for thier rights!

This pic gives a whole new meaning to “hairball”.

30 Christina 11.26.06 at 1:08 am

I know everyone noticed the cute cat and the almost equally furry feet, but what about the HEART PRINT PANTS this guy is wearing? Extra cute points? I think so.

*Agrees with proposed Cats’ n’ Sacks cat-egory*

31 iloveusame 11.26.06 at 1:09 am

i think the cats n sacks wants to be pet and play with a little, thats why it is trying to get your attention…just sayin….

32 little gator 11.26.06 at 1:35 am

that can’t be a man. Men don’t have, um, pussycats in their crotches.

I’m surprised no one else was piggy enopugh to say it.

33 iloveusame 11.26.06 at 1:42 am

hmmm…what about hermaphrodite…and angel…and gentleman:)

34 javert 11.26.06 at 1:42 am

That cat has rainbow eyes.

35 Donna 11.26.06 at 3:07 am

I think this is illegal in 37 states.

36 lurkertype 11.26.06 at 5:09 am

I <3 Caturday!

I kinda like “Cats N Nads” but “Sacks” is okay.

37 Fish Eye no Miko 11.26.06 at 5:36 am

I came up with “Cats ‘N Sacks” because it rhymes with “Cats ‘N Racks”. ^_^

38 Joann 11.26.06 at 10:29 am

guy with a pussy?

39 Subhangi 11.26.06 at 1:16 pm

“Cats n’ Sacks” it is.

And I heart the polka-hearted PJs, too.

40 reanimated 11.26.06 at 4:52 pm

cats in laps!

41 Two Sheds Jackson 11.26.06 at 5:04 pm

Very fine jim-jams there, I do hope that kitteh doesn’t decide to pounce, knead or do anything else painful – they do have such an unerring knack for doing so.

42 pyrit 11.26.06 at 6:33 pm

There *is* an English idiom that is, “the cat’s pajamas”, meaning, “excellent”. Over 40 comments here and it hasn’t been used yet. Seems to fit the photo but maybe I’m old fashioned and the idiom is pusse’. ;-)

(I’m trying. This *is* a tough crowd. Ohhh, maybe it’s out of towners for the long holiday weekend?)

43 Two Sheds Jackson 11.26.06 at 7:02 pm

Doh! sorry pyrit – didn’t even occur to me – you’re right it’s very applicable -it’s the politer version of ‘the dog’s bollocks’.

44 pyrit 11.26.06 at 7:34 pm

Two Sheds Jackson – You are the cat’s meow.

45 warrior rabbit 11.26.06 at 7:48 pm

A marvel of science: He’s got a pussy and he’s got a heart on. (Well, several hearts, actually.)

Okay, sorry! I let it go for two days…then I just couldn’t restrain myself any longer.

46 Mystery Wolf 11.26.06 at 10:09 pm

Nice pants. Love the hearts on it.

47 Rosie 11.26.06 at 10:22 pm

Ok, everyone wants to call it ‘cats & sacks,’ but what about when they’re in ladies laps? Could that be categorized as ‘The *other* pussy’??

48 pyrit 11.27.06 at 12:00 am

Well! The comments and new category ideas sure do keep groin and groin.

49 Lauri 11.27.06 at 12:24 am

Ok, thanks to pyrit, this just occurred to me.

This guy better be careful or he is going to get a purr-nia.

Well, that was a real groiner.

The holiday is over, people. Help me out, here.

50 pyrit 11.27.06 at 12:42 am

Lauri – Hee! “purr-nia”!
Would it be an a-cute purr-nia?

51 AuntieMame 11.27.06 at 12:47 am

If he’s not real careful, he may get cat-strated…

52 blair 11.27.06 at 12:51 am

56 Theo 11.27.06 at 4:27 am

iloveusame/kurukulla2 –
What the heck are you talking about? And can you do less of it, please?

57 LB 11.27.06 at 4:42 am

I guess it would have to be Cats n’ Laps if where going to be all politically correct and stuff.

58 ceebs 11.27.06 at 4:59 am

The cat’s got yeems & the pjs gots yeems!

I don’t even know what that means.

59 Aubrey 11.27.06 at 6:21 am

Isn’t Smitten a little young to be so crotchety?

Sheesh. I go off and return to the workforce (Hints: Major retail chain, smiley face ads, vests with “How May I Help You?” on the back…) and what do you kids do while I’m gone?! Make raunchy jokes and generally act like a bunch of sex-starved thirteen year olds!

Darnit, I missed all the FUN! ;-)

P.S.: I heart the heart-y peejammies! As for the very toasty kitty, it just goes without sayin’ that he’s a very good-looking anatomical accessory, yanno? *GRIN*

75 jaypo 11.27.06 at 3:26 pm

pyrit, imagine a B-rated horror-space-invasion B&W flick from the 1960s. The ship has landed. A hideous creature emerges. You’re cowering in the bushes, spying on it with your best friend and when the alien sees you, his eyes go YEEEM, YEEEM, YEEEM. You.are.pwned.and.in.his.pwr.

Fast forward to CO in the early 2000s. Everything is color. Your cat is on the floor, begging for a different plate of better food. He looks at you. His eyes go….

76 Teughcats 11.27.06 at 3:41 pm

Theo, iloveusame should get a pass on a couple of strange comments because “I am in ur pants warming ur unmentionable” is classic!

Everyone, should we have a contest re “I am in ur ___ ___ing ur ____” while we wait for new cute?

77 Theo 11.27.06 at 3:47 pm

I dunno, I think we could just tighten this up to “I *am* ur harbl” and be done.

86 Ol' Blue Balls (fka Tony James) 11.27.06 at 5:01 pm

I don’t mean to alarm anybody here, but…
…you’ve all seen the movie Alien, right? Where the thing incubates in John Hurt’s stomach and then busts out? Looks like the Interstellar Kitten Federation have seen the movie too, but got the incubation point just a little low. Which explains why the legs in the picture are horizontal – the kitten has just burst out of this guy’s [ahem] causing him to die of shock. Kitten-related havoc and mayhem will ensue.

87 mouse 11.27.06 at 5:06 pm

oh, and my comment wasn’t directed at anyone named Matt in particular. It was just the first boy’s name that came to my mind.

88 Theo 11.27.06 at 5:11 pm

The entire alarming scenario sprang whole into my mind at “You’ve seen the movie Alien, right?”
[shiver]
The only thing I’m curious about, though, is the “face-hugger” bit.

PS — I’m down with OBB (yeah you know me)

Redz, I NEVER liked ‘The Lion Yeems Tonight’, and now all I can think is:

“O Yeem-oweh
O Yeem-oweh
O Yeem-oweh”!

Pyrit, I’m down to 15, which means I can now pay more attention to the men and women behind the CO curtain.

TJ, you’re walking a little funny…what’s with that?

MC2, in payment for spelling my name wrong…GIMME COOKIES!!!!

102 AmyH 11.27.06 at 8:07 pm

Ack! Now that my heart is starting to slow down, I feel like I’ve just had a Close Encounter of the YEEM Kind.

Thanks Teej for erasing the need for anymore coffee today.

And pyrit – in teh CO Dream Office, no one is ever considered late or leaves too early. That’s another reason it’s so dreamy.

How ironic that I posted last night on my VOX about googling myself and coming up #1 for name. Now I’m I feel like I’m Queen of teh Googlers.

111 Tony James 11.27.06 at 8:25 pm

Doing some research into the origins of yeems…apparently in 1964, in response to ABC’s success with Bewitched, NBC commissioned a show about a cat who had telekinetic powers. The intention was to call the show I Yeem At Jeannie. Unfortunately the idea was shelved in preference for Larry Hagman as a NASA astronaut, and a significantly inferior sitcom resulted.

Puddins? Cookies? COFFEE?

114 lurkertype 11.27.06 at 8:31 pm

w00t for AmyH! She’s internet famous!

Around here, TK says to HRT: “I’m in ur catbox, peein on yr sand.”

TK had an Adventure over the weekend — he went to the pet supply store. He was a good boy, but there were too many people and he got kinda scared. We’ll try him again on a quieter day. He does like looking out the car windows.

115 Tony James 11.27.06 at 8:35 pm

Aub – to be fair, I don’t get a whole lot of use out of the brain cell during regular office hours, but it’s nice to have around. I probably overused it a bit over the 4-day weekend – sorry if it crapped out on you in the middle of something important.

OH! Karen, the kitties with “ghost whiskers” always pwn me!

Karen, I have been slain by a single white paw, extended towards me in an act of bene-kit-ion.

How is that even possible?

Thanks, all. I’m in lurve with the guy.

Imagine, if you will, a cozy bed, a good book, a ghost-browed kitteh marching up the covers, parking his fuzzy ‘tocks on the collarbone and warshing his paws real good, then him settling down for a good long purr under the chin. Sigh. The crick in my neck in the morning is worth it.

LT, HOW do you take TK to the pet store? In a cage? On a leash? Even Allie, my friendly kitter who loves everyone who comes to the house, would freak if put in the car and taken to the pet store. What wonderful cat training technique am I missing?

Oh, and “I’m in ur tax return, finding yr deductions.”

Wow, that’s kind of lame, isn’t it? I’m not up to the brillo standards of the peeps today.

139 ceejoe 11.27.06 at 9:47 pm

oh karen, I’m so jealous…
Mine are all big ol’ mooses now. I would have way more than a crick in my neck!

140 pyrit 11.27.06 at 9:50 pm

Looking around at the goggle-eyed Peeps. No fair, Handsome Stranger is on fur-oids, whisker-oids, and eye-brow-roids AND stare-roids.

So! Just what TV show is Mr. Manly Feet here trying to watch with Yeemy Kitteh in the way? Pimp My Ride?

141 AmyH 11.27.06 at 9:52 pm

As long as we can be substandard, here’s my go:

I’m in ur fridge, eatin ur Thanksgiving.

142 Redzilla 11.27.06 at 9:53 pm

Crotch Kitteh: I’m in ur shorts, heating up your testicles enough to kill sperm.”

143 Redzilla 11.27.06 at 9:54 pm

Oh, and based on my calculations of a cat with a body temp of 108 degrees, three 30-minute crotch cuddle sessions in 48 hours would be sufficient to sterilize most men for a week. In case you were wondering about the birth control applications of cat-crotch-cuddling.

144 karen in toronto 11.27.06 at 9:59 pm

“im in ur brain, steelin ur will. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.”

Hey, good game!

145 AmyH 11.27.06 at 10:00 pm

I try to learn one new thing every day. Thanks to Redz, now I have. I should go home now.

146 Theo 11.27.06 at 10:00 pm

Thank you, Redzilla Bronner. Can I get one of those with a lemon-juice chaser?

147 Theo 11.27.06 at 10:02 pm

(btw… if that was just a weentsy too obscure…)
http://iconocla.st/dr.bronner/

148 Redzilla 11.27.06 at 10:03 pm

You’re probably right, AmyH. Nobody should learn two things from me in a day. And I’m just getting warmed up.

Now…if I could just figure out what Teho’s joke means…

149 Redzilla 11.27.06 at 10:04 pm

Aaaaah. That’s good soap, by the way.

150 Theo 11.27.06 at 10:06 pm

As I read the Bronner quotes, I *swear* I smell peppermint. Freaky.
(Still haven’t seen any discussing natural methods of “birth control,” but I *have* seen an interesting reference to Mama Cat.)

151 AmyH 11.27.06 at 10:10 pm

I’m in ur coffee, decaffing ur beans.

Gah! Now I can’t stop!

Redz – Now I’ll have to make sure my dates like cats. “Honey, why don’t you let Elvis sit on your lap for, oh, 30 minutes? That would mean a lot to me.” Hee!

152 Tony James 11.27.06 at 10:18 pm

AmyH – good move, but beware…
…*some* cats (and I would be the last person to many any names here, but they know who they are…)are complete whores, and will love up on anything or anyone that will let them. Which is fine. Until you break up with that person and the whorecat in question starts giving you grief about it. Or the person starts sending presents *to the cat* after you break up.

153 Tony James 11.27.06 at 10:21 pm

many=mention, of course.
Must be those decaffed beans Amy was talking about.

154 AmyH 11.27.06 at 10:28 pm

Sounds like you are speaking from an unpleasant experience, TJ. Yikes! Gotta love those stalkers.

155 Laurie C 11.27.06 at 10:30 pm

TJ:
I’m in ur brain, scrambling yr words.

156 Redzilla 11.27.06 at 10:34 pm

Scary thought: I’m in Meg’s computer, deletin the Qte.

Where is she?

157 Theo 11.27.06 at 10:45 pm

Hmm, RedZ — it occurs to me that we haven’t spoken about CO backups. But don’t fret.

And if Monday stretches on into evening with no Meg update, there’s always Llama Llips.
(Yeah yeah, I know it’s a camel. Work with me.)

158 Tony James 11.27.06 at 10:47 pm

Amy – yes, a little unpleasant, although it wasn’t so much the stalking that was the problem. It had more to do with the fact that A Certain Cat was getting catnip mouses, scratching posts, and little pouches of moist nibbly morsels for christmas and birthdays. Apparently catnip can be detected through plastic and wrapping paper, and I used to come home to find a 17lb black neutered tom alternatively bouncing off the walls or flaked out on his back, legs akimbo, eyes glazed, drooling, lying on the doormat among the post.

159 Mary 11.27.06 at 10:47 pm

Y’all.. I missed a few days over the holidays… and now there’s a new word I don’t know.

What’s “pwn” ?

160 Theo 11.27.06 at 10:54 pm

Mary C — start here & follow the white rabbit… er, the links:

RedZ–serious yeemage there! I’m not usually one for hairless cats, but she’s sure beautiful! Well, aside from those glowing 3000-candlepower halogen Peepers of Mass Destruction… ;-)

165 AmyH 11.27.06 at 11:00 pm

TJ – I see. If I run this through my Amy Interpretation Filter ™, here’s what comes out:

A chemical dependence was created by Ex to maintain emotional control of said cat and thereby undermine/override your personal connection and caretaking of Kitty in the Middle.

That’s so wrong. [shudders]

166 Theo 11.27.06 at 11:03 pm

One more for TJ/OBB (circling back to earlier topic) –

167 Nora 11.27.06 at 11:05 pm

I bet just prior to this photo being taken…this kitteh was heard saying “look deeeeep into my eyes…now you will feel sleepy…when I count to three you will SLEEP.”
“one…two…three.”

168 mariser 11.27.06 at 11:09 pm

T., before deploying zee LLama Lips, would you consider sharing Karen in Toronto’s Handsome with the world?

169 Lauri 11.27.06 at 11:12 pm

Wooo. Nothin’ left but crumbs and empty starbuck’s cups.

And some good belly laughs…or was it crotch laughs?

170 Lauri 11.27.06 at 11:13 pm

Oh, Karen in T., that boy is gorgeous!

Though with that much whiskerage he sort of resembles a deep sea creature brought up from the depths!

171 Lauri 11.27.06 at 11:14 pm

Lol, T. Can you animate the “alien” so it is moving down into the nether regions?

172 Tony James 11.27.06 at 11:18 pm
173 Aubrey 11.27.06 at 11:19 pm

Mariser, a fine idea. The Ghost WhiskerSir will bring peace and calm to all.

Lauri, an upsetting idea. But I think TJ started that whole topic – what’s alien him?

174 Theo 11.27.06 at 11:20 pm

Nora — http://aycu37.webshots.com/image/5636/2000590103732950931_rs.jpg

Mariser — must confess… I wanted a bit more fill-in flash in that shot.
(I kid, yes. But ask yer schmoop’s opinion of the photo. Diffuse & off-axis.)

175 shanchan 11.27.06 at 11:22 pm

That warning label generator rocks. And I’m #1 on google too! I pwn the internets!

176 shanchan 11.27.06 at 11:24 pm

Theo- Gah! Nightmares await me tonight…

177 mariser 11.27.06 at 11:25 pm

T.,

first, brillo interpretation of Nora’s comment. u r a master.
on the Ghost Whiskerer, yep, I noticed the technicaleness stuft (me smart!), but CO has a history of allowing less-than-perfect photography., cf. http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2006/04/its_like_brange.html
;)

yes, K in T is paying me. what of it?

178 Theo 11.27.06 at 11:28 pm

I expect a cut.

Theo
One word: Exactly!

ok… maybe another….Wow!=)

182 iloveusame:) 11.28.06 at 12:06 am

you guys seems to be doing a lot of other…hmmm.. unmentinable things…that do not have anything to do with just enjoying the cutenest…i am just sayin:)
that cat still make me think of D.H Lawrence wich was NOT a sterile man…

183 Theo 11.28.06 at 12:10 am

iloveusame — this is just what happens when there’s no new cuteness for a day.
Sometimes less.

184 iloveusame:) 11.28.06 at 12:14 am

but there was lots of cuteness you just did not get it yet…
it just right beside you…waiting for ya to pick up your phone and adopt it!

185 iloveusame:) 11.28.06 at 12:15 am

cuteness does not only live in the internet ya know…

186 iloveusame:) 11.28.06 at 12:16 am

or…shall i say on tv.

187 bunnajenny 11.28.06 at 12:19 am

While I miss the presence of new cute, I do enjoy the days when the peeps’ minds and finger run free.

I also get to pwn the internets with bunnajenny…it’s a refreshing change from googling my real name, which does land one at a very unmentionable web site.

I should probably, eventually post something on my blog…

188 Tony James 11.28.06 at 12:20 am

Cuteness does not only live on the internets or TV. But Teh QTE! exists solely on the internets and in the warped minds of we, Teh Ovahloadahs, who, like Coleridge’s ancient mariner, are fated to wander the ‘net for eternity, seeking out Teh Qte and sharing it with our peeps.

189 iloveusame:) 11.28.06 at 12:22 am

what kind of cute can you find in watching a kitty alone in a cage doing the same repetitive things all the time…or shall i say staring in emptiness…

190 Lauri 11.28.06 at 12:27 am

Wow, Tony James, that just gives me da goosebumps!

And, may I say about this picture, ..goodness gracious, great balls o’ fur!!!

ROFL at HankYeems!!! Perfectly spherical yeemers!!!

191 Theo 11.28.06 at 12:28 am

Kitty?
Cage??
Alone???

D. H. Lawrence????

192 Aubrey 11.28.06 at 12:36 am

(puts down cross bow…the albatross flies away)

“Day after day, day after day,
We wait, with breath that’s bated;
Not idle, for ‘twould be our death –
Thus our hope’s not faded

Cuteness, cuteness everywhere,
‘Tis true, and yet I think;
Cuteness, Cuteness everywhere,
It’s missing our Meg’s wink.”

193 Aubrey 11.28.06 at 12:37 am

T. Just STOP, with your Teem Yeem.

194 Theo 11.28.06 at 12:38 am

Whee(m)!!!!

195 iloveusame:) 11.28.06 at 12:42 am

have you ever think of the possibility that leaving it alone might actually slow down the process of fabrication of even more cuteness…

196 iloveusame:) 11.28.06 at 12:48 am

only fools or shall i say fooled do not accept a change of idea

197 Lauri 11.28.06 at 12:50 am

I never thought of that possibility even a little.

DH Creepance, Theo.

198 Lauri 11.28.06 at 12:52 am

*lights a candle for Aubrey’s poetry*

Just beautiful.

199 iloveusame:) 11.28.06 at 12:53 am

ok this is nathalie here, remember me…anything you have to say that will make me accept this nonsense of seeing the content of my mind and daily life being displayed for a purpose i cannot quite comprehend!

200 Theo 11.28.06 at 12:53 am

ILUS — assuming I understand you right –

Meg has a very time-consuming day job; see her entry here:
http://www.squidgrid.com/cute/Glossary.htm#Fearless%20Leader

Cute Overload is basically Meg’s semi-pro hobby, for the time being. If it turns out her Monday has been just too busy today to allow her to add anything new, then I’ll see what I can add later tonight when I get home. (I’m basically CO’s volunteer staff, at present. I have a time-consuming day job too.)

201 Theo 11.28.06 at 12:54 am

(OK, I’m pretty sure I don’t understand you right. It’s getting to be a pattern.)

202 iloveusame:) 11.28.06 at 1:01 am

and why cant she do cuteoverload full time and why cant she get help of dh lawrence in the room with her…

203 iloveusame:) 11.28.06 at 1:03 am

since she obviously still has some people that are allowed to be with her and help her

204 Theo 11.28.06 at 1:03 am

re: your first question — patience is counseled.
re: your second question — I’ll look into it.

205 iloveusame:) 11.28.06 at 1:07 am

k.cute and sweet dream:)

206 Aubrey 11.28.06 at 1:08 am

All this Chatter-ly about D.H. Lawrence is really getting me confused.

207 useta hada kitteh, not to mention a brain 11.28.06 at 1:08 am

is anybuddy else’s brain getting befuddled by some of the commentses on here these days? Snorglish I can understand, but… … …

Oh well, somebuddy just fling me some puddin’ and I’ll be happy.

Is Meg alright? She usually posts daily, and she hasn’t posted for the past two days. She isn’t hurt or ill or anything, is she?

211 useta hada kitteh 11.28.06 at 1:30 am

Teho — Thanks!

RedZ — ouch! Did Sippy ever try that trick again?

BlurpleBerry (that was fun to type) — hopefully Meg’s okay.

Teho — a question. When are you going to get to tell us “I’m in ur Catcave, fosterin’ ur kitters?”

212 Theo 11.28.06 at 1:32 am

As soon as possible, Useta. But I have no idea when that will be. Kitten season?

213 Aubrey 11.28.06 at 1:34 am

BB – I think, like plenty of us, she has ALOT of work to catch up on. T. the Wise – and Weird – would certainly let us know if we need to set out a search yeem, er – team.

214 Theo 11.28.06 at 1:37 am

Aubrey — remember, I’m not in San Fran. I’d probably only know by intuition and/or inference.
What does your HEART tell you?

215 Aubrey 11.28.06 at 1:43 am

It tells me that it’s not quite time to circulate flyers.

216 Theo 11.28.06 at 1:48 am

[spluttering]
Why, aorta…!!

217 Aubrey 11.28.06 at 1:52 am

You just pump ‘em out like no one’s business, don’t you? T., you really must be a Magic Man.

218 Theo 11.28.06 at 2:35 am

Aubrey, doin’ the Seattle-ites proud! You’re all… um… you’re swell.

219 AmyH 11.28.06 at 3:50 am

Thanks for the definition, Theo. It’s nice to know there’s a name for that kind of um, persisent behavior. And the yeemy DH Lawrence? Brilliant!

221 Mitsu 11.28.06 at 5:04 am

With 200+ comments, I expected to see a nuff parade going through here, waving signs: “Cruelty to Crotch!” “Stop the Underwarmers!” “Kitty Porn is Wrong!” or maybe, “Can’t you see this feline is being objectified!” Instead, I’m glad to see it’s just a bunch of bored cute-addicts waiting for their next fix (like me). If I had a video of my cat doing tricks, I’d post it but sadly I have no such entertainment to offer. She’s trying to crawl under my keyboard right now, though. I think she might start typing with her nose.

222 musicchick2 11.28.06 at 2:18 pm

Oh Mitsu, we’d love to see her! We are not only C.O. addicts, but we are kitteh addicts as well. *Introduces self: Hi, I’m musicchick2, and I’m a cute- um, er, cat-a-holic.
Group: Hi MC2 *golf claps*

223 Ann 11.28.06 at 3:22 pm

Crotch Kittehs

224 Mitsu 11.28.06 at 4:51 pm

Heidi is amazingly cute – everything she does is cute, even when she’s being a brat. My standard response to anything she does is, “That’s cute, Heidi.” Maybe in a few weeks I might have access to a video camera. I too am a cat-a-holic! And I admit that I’m powerless over cats, and that my cats are unmanageable.
