What do you want? We can’t even focus our eyeballs yet

by Meg on December 19, 2006

Don’t expect us to do a whole heck of a lot here. We can hardly even see you! Are you to our left? To our right? We don’t know! OUR EYES CAN’T FOCUS YET, CAPISCHE?

Oh, and thanks for the camera flash. Jeeshe, Harry D.

5 lurkertype 12.19.06 at 8:41 pm

marmie kittehs!!

POIT!

When they get a little older, they can go worship Weeble Jesus.

6 gloom raider 12.19.06 at 8:41 pm

Okay, who ordered the size XXXS ears?

7 Tegan 12.19.06 at 8:42 pm

Teehee…they look like little paranoid conspiracy theorist kittens going all, “who are you and why have you cornered us and are taking pictures?” Like they’ve been abducted by aliens.

Or maybe that’s just me and the boring work talking.

8 Karen in Toronto 12.19.06 at 8:42 pm

“What? What?? We cain’t hardly hear ya neither!”

BTW, much as I luff my leetles grey&white Peabo and black&white Handsome, I’d like to find a marmie conversion kit — or a temporary dye — just for a weekend, or a week.

9 Theo 12.19.06 at 8:47 pm

oooooooooOOOOOOOOOHHHH..!>>38io2′d***f12

10 Redzilla 12.19.06 at 8:49 pm

I dunno…I don’t think they’re going to go worship Weeble Jebus, ’cause I think they look like little old Jewish man marmies. “What? Are you meshuggah? I haven’t even had my bagel mit lox und schmear yet. And you want I should pose for dis picture?”

11 Teri 12.19.06 at 8:51 pm

MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!

12 zeldapie 12.19.06 at 8:55 pm

13 layla 12.19.06 at 8:55 pm

They’re so teeny!

Must gently snorgle and smoosh…baby fuzzy goodness…

14 Sven 12.19.06 at 8:56 pm

LOL Redzilla!

“You’re killing your mother with your behavior, you know that. What with the camera and the bright lights and the saying of cheese and what have you, enough already!”

15 Moira 12.19.06 at 8:57 pm

The flash was cruel. Poor little things.

16 constance 12.19.06 at 9:02 pm

You know what’s cruel? Having the chorus of “squees” interrupted by people who have nothing better to do with their time then complain. ESPECIALLY when there’s nothing to complain about and they have to make something up.

I would like to officialy complain that those kittehs are too close together, such crulety could cause them to become clustraphobic later in life!

WON’T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE KITTEHS?

…and now…back to …

SQUEE! OMG I want one!

17 TeratoMarty 12.19.06 at 9:02 pm

Hmmm… marmie conversion kit… I dyed a white dog pink with Kool Aid once. Maybe you could try orange Kool Aid? Possibly only if you don’t mind vicious clawmarks on your person.

18 Theo 12.19.06 at 9:09 pm

I am using my powers of THREADJACK for good and betterment…

Yeah… I probably didn’t upload the new design in time for Christmas. The design idea only occured to me today, sorry. But maybe it’s worth a shot, eh?

Many thanks!

Alright…who nibbled the earses? They’re nibbled down to nothing!
For shame, peeps. For. Shame.

20 J. Bo 12.19.06 at 9:29 pm

You always use your superpowers for Awesome, Theo.

21 Theo 12.19.06 at 9:32 pm

24 Holly 12.19.06 at 9:54 pm

Oh tiny triangle ears! I could just snuggle them in my bra all day. So cute and wee!

25 Aubrey 12.19.06 at 10:05 pm

Redz, isn’t it too early in the week to be served our bris-kit for Shab-cat dinner?

26 Sparky 12.19.06 at 10:07 pm

That is just too cute to be decent, surely! Smoooshem!!!

27 sillygirl 12.19.06 at 10:10 pm

Happy Channucat yiddle kitties! If you were a little bigger, I’d sneak you bits of my lox. (I love Lox! mit or unmit bagle and shmear… I like salmon sushi too.)

31 michellemybelle 12.19.06 at 10:27 pm

I need these little kitters, right now. They seem like a good antidote to work.

32 MamaDawn 12.19.06 at 11:03 pm

Cleanup at desk #1… I just melted.

33 TheLoveOfIsis 12.19.06 at 11:09 pm

I gotta agree with the abducted by aliens comment, thar. They tewtally look disturbed. Or, disturbingly CUTE. :D

34 lurkertype 12.19.06 at 11:47 pm

oh, and PEEEEEEEEENK NOSE!

(sees no jaypo — goes [beep] on one nose, leaving other for jaypo)

35 Cathryn Bauer 12.20.06 at 12:04 am

They look as if they’re saying, We may not be able to see, but we’re kittens to reckon with, anyway! Further proof that cats are born with Attitude.

Reminds me of my Ashbycat who owned us for 16 years. She weighed 6.5 pounds, but believed nonetheless that she was a fierce and dangerous creature. It was hilarious to watch her stalking around the yard. Actually, she was a good hunter. We used to wake up to the sound of mousie bones being crunched under our bed. Euuwwwww.

36 Redzilla 12.20.06 at 12:18 am

Aubrey: A bris kit? Doesn’t that just involve a sharp pair of scissors and shaky-handed 107-year old rabbi?

37 Kiss 12.20.06 at 12:26 am

They need kisses :-*

38 Aubrey 12.20.06 at 12:36 am

Redz – they have to be in a moving automobile, too (remember that SNL skit?)

*sob* I wants a kitteh!! The little marmie fuzzballs make me just…no words. Darn it. All I know is that I reallllllyrealllllyreallllyreallly want a tiny little love like one of these. When they’re growed up enough, that is!!! Still. I’m all melty in the brain now.

48 Daisycat 12.20.06 at 3:47 am

Praise Weesus for kittehs..

Capisce, I think.

Grumble-grumble!

51 musicchick2 12.20.06 at 4:36 am

With all these cultural references being shared, imagine little teeny widdo yarmulkes on ‘dere hey-eds. Would they be marmalade colored, or is basic black worn in the most fashionable synagogues these days? Geev ‘em a little schmear of cream cheese to lick offa yo finger first tho…

(Yes people, that IS how you spell the little beanies that are worn as a head covering during sabbath. And I’M a Gentile! LOL

52 Michelle 12.20.06 at 4:47 am

oof!

The whiskerpuffles and lil pink frowns are just too much to take! I can almost see them quivering as they try to hold their bobbing heads up.

53 Subhangi 12.20.06 at 5:21 am

I hope they’ve gotten over the intense pain caused by the flash.

55 pyrit 12.20.06 at 12:16 pm

hmmm – scroll up to where your comment was already posted. Beware the wrath of constance.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW, that’s cute! I just want to lick those little pink nosicles!

58 carolina 12.20.06 at 2:11 pm

HEAVEN HELP ME! Just when I thought things could not POSSIBLY get any cuter around here, they just did. And by monumental proportions. Words cannot express my delight at seeing presshuss lil marmie kitt-oons this morning and the little “just born” expressions. Can’t you just see their little heads wobbling around, trying to focus, to do ANYTHING besides nurse, since that’s all their good at at that age besides looking overwhelmingly adorable and helpless.

Say a prayer for me cuz I just died.

59 Funny Animal Videos 12.20.06 at 2:13 pm

The kitten stage is the best part of owning a cat! :D

60 carolina 12.20.06 at 2:16 pm

Okay, so I’m not really dead yet.

I just want to know, can I wear them on my head for about an hour to suck out all the bad stuff and replace it with wholesome, sunshiney, marmie goodness?!

They oughta figger out how to bottle that stuff somehow!

61 carolina 12.20.06 at 2:17 pm

The New Fashion for Depressives for 2007:

Marmie Kitten Caps!

62 Theo 12.20.06 at 2:18 pm

Steam and sugar, Grumblecakes. Extra steam and sugar.

63 Kit 12.20.06 at 2:34 pm

Wargl!
That is me choking on the cute. With their tiny little stripes, and their teeny tiny claws, and their itty bitty ears.
Glargl!

64 A thinker 12.20.06 at 3:06 pm

Wee teeny marmie pint lions!

Gargh.

65 Niki 12.20.06 at 3:12 pm

Sooooooo Smmmmaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllll….*faint*

66 constance 12.20.06 at 3:15 pm

…I can’t read half these comments for all the cuteologist “lingo”. I guess that’s how you know something’s REALLY cute…the comments are indecipherable!

67 Mitsu 12.20.06 at 3:15 pm

About the flash…I think, although I’m not sure, that they can’t see much anyway, because they have fluids in their eyes that aren’t clear yet. So they are kind of naturally protected from the flash right now. I just read that their visual acuity will still get 16 times better before they’re done developing. Not that I’d recommend going around flashing bright lights in little kitters’ eyes…awww, put ‘em back inna nest and keepem warm, that’s the thing to do.

68 Mitsu 12.20.06 at 3:19 pm

carolina – good idea about the caps, I’ll take one! That’s how I found this site in the first place, when things get really rough, I have a habit of doing google searches for “kittens.” (A fact I’d hesitate to admit anywhere else)

69 Robert 12.20.06 at 3:33 pm

They look ready to strike. Like Marmelade Ninjas, they is…

70 Emmy 12.20.06 at 3:36 pm

The toes, people! The tiny, tiny toes! *faints due to cuteness overdose*

71 Teri 12.20.06 at 3:40 pm

I just want to tuck them under my sweater and let them curl up and sleep.

72 carolina 12.20.06 at 3:58 pm

Mitsu: My brother was feeding a neighbor’s neglected cat when one day the owner disappeared and the cat turned up pregnant.

So anyway, my brother being the kind-hearted soul that he is, let her “birth her babies” and eventually found homes for them (my mom took one of them).

He told me that during the time the kittens were staying in his apartment, he would come home from a bad day and work and lay on the floor and let the kittens crawl all over him and that was the best therapy imaginable.

I think kitten vests might also work, ya’ know, a pocket for each kitteh, etc.

PS: Don’t be ashamed of your need for cute! We all gotta get by somehow! Sometimes, a cute infusion is just what the doctor ordered.

73 dove 12.20.06 at 4:12 pm

their ears are TINY!

74 carolina 12.20.06 at 4:20 pm

They might be teensie, but I think they have already picked up on the “art of disapproving looks.”

We DISAPPROVE of that camera flash . . . and YOU. Now where’s my mommy’s teat?

75 lauowolf 12.20.06 at 5:05 pm

Carolina-
Good brother!

76 carolina 12.20.06 at 7:04 pm

lauwolf: My bro is so good, he adopted a deaf kitten which he’s had for several years. Cat has always had problems from birth. Now, the poor thing has gone blind as well. My brother was rather upset and worried about it, but the cat actually seems to be doing quite well navigating by smell and touch. I think he’s gonna be okay. He has a very good “daddy” to look after him.

77 mina 12.20.06 at 8:18 pm

Awww, they are so precious!

78 Karen in Toronto 12.20.06 at 9:36 pm

Constance: keep reading! Check the CO Glossary (not everything is in there yet). And make up ur own…

79 riinacorneeanne crann shilly bawn matters petoxians 12.21.06 at 1:15 am

does anyone pay any attention to my comments?…..=(

80 Rob 12.21.06 at 1:54 am

You know if you look at them in the wrong way, they look like a Two-Headed Kitteh!

81 lisa 12.21.06 at 4:26 am

I am lion, hear me roar

82 Christine 12.21.06 at 5:51 pm

Their heads are enormous! <3

83 Brak_Silverbone 12.21.06 at 10:58 pm

Teeny marmalades! I need some toast, stat, to spread them on!

84 GreenEyedHawk 12.22.06 at 2:24 am

I can just hear them…Meer! meeer! Meer! Meer!
I love me some marmies.

85 Constance 12.27.06 at 8:59 pm

*franticaly cross checks the CO glossary to decipher cuteologist lingo*

I’ll get it eventually.
