Whoa–that ending was a little frightening for a moment…but then it all ended happily…

2 anon 02.06.07 at 2:38 pm

AHH! kinda scary… but adorable too. I’m torn…

3 Harper 02.06.07 at 2:38 pm

Ohhh… the little wee mews!! My cat heard the video playing and came tearing in here – she started licking the speakers. Guess she thought the cutie was stuck inside!

4 Catman Dude =^-.-^= 02.06.07 at 2:38 pm

Mommy…..Mommy…..Mommy….Mommy!Mommmy! Mommmmmm!…Moooooommmmmyyyy! MOM! MOM! MOM!

5 Megan 02.06.07 at 2:39 pm

Haha, I bet mom kitty was getting quite a headache

6 Chelsea 02.06.07 at 2:41 pm

Catman – ahahahahaha

My cats were flipping out trying to figure out where the mewing was coming from. Pretty cute…

*goes to watch again*

7 mary 02.06.07 at 2:43 pm

hahaha
The mom is like FINE!!!!
Ill come and get you!

8 jaypo 02.06.07 at 2:45 pm

GAAHH! Mom, what took you so long!?

9 Redzilla 02.06.07 at 2:48 pm

Aww…reminds me of my mom–a little too large and scary, but comforting and reliable.

10 soxfan 02.06.07 at 2:52 pm

Glomph!

11 Yitzysmommie 02.06.07 at 2:52 pm

This ANERABLE video perked Yitzy’s ears right up and made him “Baroo?” in his cat fashion.
SSSOOOOO cute – much watch again (and again).

12 useta hada kitteh 02.06.07 at 2:55 pm

Didn’t even need to put the sound up for that little guy! I’m so glad momma showed up in the end. They really glompf the kitteh, don’t they? Although my farm childhood was enhanced by a wonderful momma cat and her kittens, I never saw such a closeup of the glompfing action. Whoa!

13 ceejoe 02.06.07 at 2:58 pm

lol, I was just gonna say, *put that babeh with his momma!*

14 PuppyMomma 02.06.07 at 2:59 pm

Mom, mom, mom! Where are you! Mom! I’m lost! Mom!

Hey! That’s my head!

15 lurkingsmirk 02.06.07 at 3:00 pm

Man, I actually screamed in shock when the momma cat darted out…

16 Julia2 02.06.07 at 3:04 pm

lol, agree with the first comment up there ;)

No cats here to lick speakers, but as soon as the mewing started, my radiator started making very similar noises, conversational fashion. That was a little funny, but now it still is. Little creepy.

17 pyrit 02.06.07 at 3:04 pm

Mom’s cool. She’s, “mrowr”, not “yeeeow”. I love the final vocals they share. Shuttle Kitty docking with the Mother Station.

18 Theo 02.06.07 at 3:04 pm

*GLOMPH* (exactly, Useta) (and Soxfan)

[sigh] …awesome. Yeah, momcats don’t act super-gentle with their kitters, but they’re built for it. It’s all good. (wish WE had some o’ these around, right now)

19 Julia2 02.06.07 at 3:05 pm

*now goes back and watches 3 more times*

20 mish 02.06.07 at 3:08 pm

i’m glad mine weren’t the only cats freaking out, trying to figure out where i’d stashed the new kitten.

21 bazu 02.06.07 at 3:12 pm

Now I see why my kitty is an incessant meower- she never had the loving discipline of a mama kitty. =(

22 Taylor 02.06.07 at 3:12 pm

Poor cat.But it’s cute and sort of funny.It sort of reminds me of my cat Poot.

23 benvenuta 02.06.07 at 3:14 pm

ohhh, what a voice this tiny baby has! less than 2 weeks old…

those jaws look scary, but they are actually very gentle… Momcats can carry fragile newborns around without hurting them.
cats are wonderful mothers. I was amazed every time I had a chance to watch a mama kitty with babies.

24 cosmiquemuffin 02.06.07 at 3:17 pm

*mew*!
*mew*!

25 sidney 02.06.07 at 3:24 pm

Didn’t expect that. Mommy is taking care of her little baby.

26 Jen S. 02.06.07 at 3:25 pm

LMAO! Love it. Be careful what you ask for, baby! ;-)

27 CCKitty 02.06.07 at 3:25 pm

How old is this little guy, anyway? He doesn’t even look like he can stand up. He has quite the voice though!

I basically jumped a foot when the mother cat popped out of nowhere and dragged the kit off screen at the end.

He’s 7 ounces of mouth :)

28 claudia 02.06.07 at 3:27 pm

Oh!! My cat went nuts!! She’s still meowing, looking for the widdle one..

29 Mary 02.06.07 at 3:30 pm

hehehe…you don’t realize how little baby is until momma comes from nowhere and CHOMP…carries him away.

30 PamJen 02.06.07 at 3:37 pm

Little kitties markings are fabulous. Momma is all white? Daddy must be of the tiger persuasion.
<3

31 Ugliness Man 02.06.07 at 3:38 pm

For those who asked the kitten’s age, the blurb on the original YouTube page says 10 hours.

32 TanksMommy 02.06.07 at 3:44 pm

HAHA! It’s like human children yelling MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM.. and mom finally screaming WHAT!!!!! only much much cuter! Love it!

33 Wendy 02.06.07 at 3:45 pm

SO.

DARN.

KEY-UTE!

Notice how the baby really ramps up the “crying” once s/he hears momma’s voice?

It’s amazing the BIG sounds that come out of those little critters.

34 Wendy 02.06.07 at 3:46 pm

And the little “umbiblical” cord is still attached!

35 Ant 02.06.07 at 3:48 pm

Not really cute to me. When they’re older, then it will be cute.

36 Erin 02.06.07 at 3:49 pm

that was horrible!

37 erin 02.06.07 at 3:50 pm

mama dragged her baby off like a predator, not like a mommy! It’s little body just dragging….

38 Jenne 02.06.07 at 3:51 pm

I feel Momma’s pain.. many’s a time I’ve wanted to bap my kids on the head like that and chomp them around the neck when they’re hollering incessantly at me from the other room…
;)

39 Rain 02.06.07 at 4:00 pm

awww cute little baby!!

Mommy be GENTLE! You almost bit poor babys head off.

40 Rosie 02.06.07 at 4:03 pm

i figured it was gonna be quiet, so i cranked it up and my collie came running, like “whozzit and wheredit come form????” with his ears all perked up. “i hear, but not see, must…find…and rescue…..”

41 Elit Alice 02.06.07 at 4:04 pm

oh no its WRONG and SCARY!

oh my god im still shocked! :O

42 Subhangi 02.06.07 at 4:06 pm

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL! Newborn baby kittie!!! It’s barely bigger than her mouth!!!

LOL @ Redzilla’s mom!

43 Wendy 02.06.07 at 4:08 pm

Jeez, people. Momma kitties have been carrying their baby kitties like this for eons. It’s all good. No baby kitties were harmed in the making of this video. And the baby is supposed to go limp when momma grabs hold. Thus the efficacy of “scruffing” kitties of all ages. Veterinary professionals do it, for goodness sake!

44 ThreeCatNight 02.06.07 at 4:11 pm

So small and helpless. A momma knows. You go Mom!
(And yes, they do carry their babies that way; no need for alarm.)

45 anner 02.06.07 at 4:12 pm

well, if my husband had not been keeled by the *other* adorable kitteh vid, this would have done the trick anyway.

i’m still alive, btw, NOT THAT ANYONE ASKED, but am blinded by tears of kitteh joy.

46 TeesMyBody.com T-Shirts 02.06.07 at 4:13 pm

I almost looked like it was filmed in stop-motion. Cute!

47 Faekitty (Heather M.) 02.06.07 at 4:24 pm

EEEEE!!! Too adorable for words!!
But there must and will be words said! Little teeny tiny adorabul, anerable.. (not so teeny).. words said!
AAGH!

*Head s’plodes*..

48 judy 02.06.07 at 4:33 pm

I hereby dub that kitteh “Mr. Wobbles”. Loved it, love your site!

49 caroline 02.06.07 at 4:34 pm

Teeny brand new kitten!
Mama is coming sweetie!

50 skippy 02.06.07 at 4:39 pm

awwwwwwww. this is just about the cutest thing i’ve ever seen here. mom-cat was probably moving the whole litter, and little tigger here was the last to go.

and yes, my kitties rallied round the laptop too, to see who was making that racket!

51 Pheas 02.06.07 at 5:08 pm

anner, sorry about your family tragedy, but your comments are keeling me!

52 Angela P. 02.06.07 at 5:11 pm

I think my daughter and I have had the same conversation!

“Up?”
“Up?”
“Up?”
“Up?”
“Up?”
“OK! OK! OK!”

53 Ponygirl 02.06.07 at 5:12 pm

That is one skilled Mama Cat. She’s had babies before and knows just what to do with a screamy newborn.

54 Juniper Jupiter 02.06.07 at 5:14 pm

What you don’t see is the mama kitty viciously giving the cameraman the smackdown for hiding her bebeh!

TOO CUTE!!

55 Christy 02.06.07 at 5:21 pm

Aww, the poor little kitten is so insistent!

56 TheLoveOfIsis 02.06.07 at 5:26 pm

Just… can’t… take it…! *splodes*

57 herpantsness 02.06.07 at 5:28 pm

Sad but Cute, cute but sad. Poor little baby was all shaking.

58 herpantsness 02.06.07 at 5:29 pm

Oh, and is that the umbilical cord I see?

59 Sneezy 02.06.07 at 5:33 pm

There must be a difference between a GALGH and a GLOMPH, as evidenced in this video.

Thoughts?

60 Rae Rae 02.06.07 at 5:36 pm

Yeah, not to be morbid but that ending was scaaarrry. The hit didn’t seem typical of a Mama cat. Maybe a tense Mama cat but I just hope to sweet lord that wasn’t a male!

Rae Rae

61 Theo 02.06.07 at 5:37 pm

HerPantsNess & others — that “umbilical” is probably just tail. If bebeh was THAT new, its eyes wouldn’t be open yet, and it probably couldn’t raise its head at all.

62 Mel 02.06.07 at 5:42 pm

Hey! Heeeeyyyy! Hey! HEY! HEY MOM!

CHIZZOMP!

63 Wendy 02.06.07 at 5:43 pm

Theo, I beg to differ. There is most definitily the remnants of an umbilical cord. You can see it on the belly just as she drags the baby off.

And I’m not entirely convinced that baby’s eyes ARE open. The video is very fuzzy and it’s hard to tell. Nor is it really doing the greatest job at holding it’s head up.

64 Theo 02.06.07 at 5:47 pm

[watches again]
…well, I definitely see blinking and eye-squeezes. The tail thing is less clear, but if the eyes are open, the umbilical’s long gone.

But this *IS* definitely a newbie cat right here. There’s no coordination yet (though that head is defintely hoisted).

65 Theo 02.06.07 at 5:49 pm

Er wups.
Sorry, I’m wrong about the umbilical, it *IS* there (visible below with the tail still in the frame, above). It’s dried up & ready to fall off though.

66 Redzilla 02.06.07 at 5:52 pm

As for the notion that Momma is “whacking” kitteh, I don’t think so. I think our nature photog has put kitteh up on a shelf or cat tree and Momma seems to have to do a little leap up maneuver to get ahold of the kitteh.

67 anner 02.06.07 at 6:00 pm

pheas – so much carnage today!

68 kimmzy 02.06.07 at 6:02 pm

So many insistant kitten mews!

I played this video while my cat was sitting next to me. I turned it up and she sat at attention trying to figure out where the little kitten was. With every cry her pupils got huge! It was amazing to see. After I played it the first time my other cat, also a female, joined us. They both got on my desk to find the lost kitten.

69 Theo 02.06.07 at 6:03 pm

[raises & waves lighter during 20-minute epic]

70 Farhibide 02.06.07 at 6:06 pm

I recognise that tone of voice. Mom’s saying “alright already, I’m comin’, I’m comin’. Quit your whining.”

71 Catherine 02.06.07 at 6:07 pm

That gives a whole other meaning to “Stop your whining!”

72 Rafael 02.06.07 at 6:13 pm

Kitten: Mom…mom…mom..MOM!

Mamma Kat: Coming dear….lets go!

Kitten: Whoa!

73 Shannon 02.06.07 at 6:20 pm

My cat was not happy with the sounds and my dog was looking for the KITTEH!!!!! (He luffs kittys)

74 marmar 02.06.07 at 6:37 pm

listening to all that mewling and meowing, my cats are giving me a “what the HELL is going on????” look

75 MamaDawn 02.06.07 at 6:38 pm

Theo… the link doesnt work :(
What a sweet kitty! Remember, spring is kitten season and foster parents are always welcome! Call your vet or the local animal rescue. I should get my first load of eyes closed newbies this week.

76 Alice Shortcake 02.06.07 at 6:42 pm

“Come ‘ere, ya little varmint!” I always cringe when I see mother cats pick their younsters up by the head – it looks like kitten abuse but they don’t seem to mind…

77 ~Tanya 02.06.07 at 6:42 pm

Okay, I think I’ve reached my daily quotient of cute kitteh mews. Think I’ve watched the video twenty times already!!

78 Paul 02.06.07 at 6:42 pm

Sneezy said:”There must be a difference between a GALGH and a GLOMPH, as evidenced in this video.”

Sneezy, a long time ago my bro and I came up with the term “clomp” for what mama cats do to their kittehs to pick them up… or actually ANY time a critter puts its mouth completely around something.

I do like “glomph” tho…

79 Theo 02.06.07 at 6:47 pm

MamaDawn — you mean the link to the blurb from The Onion? That’s weird; it works OK for me (in both FireFox and IE). You’re not on some network that specifically blocks The Onion, by any chance, are you? (Oh noes — SATIRE!!)

Try this… http://www.theonion.com/content/

80 Roberta 02.06.07 at 6:50 pm

O M F G…..My Cat Is ON TOP Of My Tower Looking For The Baby Kitty In The Speakers. Wish I Had A Camera Right Now.

81 Emerson 02.06.07 at 6:52 pm

The mommy taxi is very unforgiving.

82 Anony 02.06.07 at 6:52 pm

My kitty loves this and is sitting in front of my speakers while I keep playing it- lol

83 Roberta 02.06.07 at 6:56 pm

Harper…..Isn’t It Funny; Zarafina Is Noising Over It To; As If She’s Saying “It’s OK; I’m Here”

84 Roberta 02.06.07 at 7:05 pm

Rosie…..I Was Wondering If The Dogs Were Affected. Zarafina Scared Me When She Jumped Up To Find It In My Speaker. She Came Out Of Nowhere

For Those Eeewwwwwing; Momma Isn’t Hurting Baby.

85 anner 02.06.07 at 7:09 pm

Theo – funny, my husband was singing the Roofi songs from the Simpsons this morning for no aparent reason.

Not being a parent, I didn’t know that was such a close parody of a specific performer. Just goes to show that their references are funny even if you don’t get them.

86 AmyH 02.06.07 at 7:16 pm

First – My heart was breaking listening to the li’l mews, hoping hoping HOPING mama kat would show up. And then WHAMMO! There she is on the rescue. I laughed out loud, very loud.

Second – Teho, I’m so grateful for the Onion link. A 20 minute rendition of “Bananaphone”?!?! Fabulous. Just fabulous. Doooood….

87 AmyH 02.06.07 at 7:19 pm

Speaking of carrying cats in mouths – and my brother’s massive and stupid yellow lab was carrying a cat around in his mouth. Brother rescued kitty and put it in another barn. Minutes later he looked outside, same thing. Cat in dog’s mouth. Rescued cat, went back inside. Looked out again, cat in dog’s mouth. Shrugged, let it go.

88 Roberta 02.06.07 at 7:21 pm

OK; I Wanna Play It Again, But Just Recently Can Aired My Puter Of All It’s Cat Hair. Sooooo I Will Wait For Grandaughter To Get Home. She Will Fall On The Floor When She Sees Zarafina’s Reaction.

89 Ms. Amanda 02.06.07 at 7:34 pm

I gotta stop watching these. They’re making my poor cat a little crazy trying to find the baby.

90 Carrie- Will Defend For Work 02.06.07 at 7:37 pm

It askeered me when the Mama jumped and glommed onto it’s widdle haid.

Glad my mommy never picked me up like that.

91 DKN 02.06.07 at 7:51 pm

Erin – that wasn’t horrible. That was mother nature. Cats don’t have opposable thumbs, remember.

92 Kim H. 02.06.07 at 7:55 pm

No kittehs here at work to hear the mewing… but it works pretty well on my medical assistants, who say, “AWWWWW!!!! ooh da little kitty” and words to that effect.

93 dreamspinnercheryl 02.06.07 at 8:08 pm

Mama cat is obviously miffed that the photographer MOVED HER young’un!!, and is on a desperate mission to relocate him to a safer environment. Bet it’s gonna be hard to find him again, too-that’s one protective, stressed-out mama there. Oh, and my Blue Heeler mix nearly went nuts looking for the baby..

94 Teri 02.06.07 at 8:13 pm

On a day when it’s vicious cold outside (Extreme Cold Alert in the city of Toronto), and I’m terribly sick with *something* (not quite a cold, not quite the flu…just feel like total dirt), today’s total CuteOverLoad line up is just what i need on the brief period of time that I can sit upright at the computer.

I shall now head back to bed and try to remember that my two monsters were once as wee as this adorables bebeh.

95 Ponygirl 02.06.07 at 8:22 pm

This makes me miss my kittens. Nothing sweeter than those little mews. I wish my man would let me foster kittens, but he says NO. He’s a meannie.

96 Sammy's Auntie Wendy 02.06.07 at 8:23 pm

I think Raffi needs to remember who his audience is and how he got to where he is today!

97 kate 02.06.07 at 8:27 pm

I just discovered that my cat is a little self-centered. I read all the posts about people’s cats coming in the room, so I brought him in to listen. He just sat on my lap, started purring and “making biscuits” as if to say “haha, guess who’s getting the attention? Not YOU feeble kitten!”

98 ericm301 02.06.07 at 8:33 pm

My cat is taking a screwdriver to my speakers right now! She heard from the other room and jumped right up!
Wish I Had My Camera, Too!

99 Roberta 02.06.07 at 8:44 pm

Awwwww Poor Teri…..I Wont Be Cruel And Tell You It’s 79 Here In Phoenix Right Now.

100 Roberta 02.06.07 at 8:47 pm

L O L Kate; My Cat Won’t Make Bisquits. But I Get Exfoliated And Serenaded Every Day. She Was Crying For The BeeBee Kitty.

101 Cait 02.06.07 at 8:53 pm

Teri – I too have a cold in the Extreme Cold Alert city of Toronto. I’m hanging with my kitteh Lucy Veronica, and she freaked out at the little mews!

102 rangelife 02.06.07 at 8:58 pm

Yeah! Eat it! EAT IT HARD!

103 chipnotizer 02.06.07 at 9:11 pm

I’m also freezing and really sick but the tiny bebeh kitty really warmed me up and woke up my two kittehs!! I rescued the girl kitteh and I always ask her if she had bebeh kittehs of her own. She won’t say. But the look on her face when she watched the video 10 times told it all! She knew the bebeh kitteh needed snorgling from Momeh!! Pleezzzzz remind your blase’ kittehs they should be really grateful for their warm homes and snorgling Mommehs-as we all should!! Everyone snorgle!! It’ll make you warm!! Arggh-snorgle-mfff-mfff-mfff-mfff. OOhhhh! My lips are furry!!

104 Teri 02.06.07 at 9:21 pm

So very glad i’m not the only one suffering both *a* cold and *the* cold today…lol…I don’t feel so alone.

105 lauowolf 02.06.07 at 9:51 pm

Many years ago when I thought you fixed cats at six months, my girl cat had kittens.
In my lap.
She then moved them to the closet, reasonably enough.

First one she started to pick up by the front of its throat.
Decided that wasn’t right.
Then she picked him up by a back leg.
That’s no good.
Got the back of the neck, and we’re ready to roll.
That’s the way it works.

106 Fuzzybutt 02.06.07 at 9:55 pm

My cats are going NUTZ hearing the mewing!!

107 sabrina 02.06.07 at 9:56 pm

laughs at theo – thats so obviously an umbilical cord lol! you must need glasses! :P
Also my kittens could lift their heads, and were very similar ;)
hmm nice video but obvy the owner removed the kitten in the first place held back momma cat, knowing little one would feel lost and alone and would squeal for the camara. When she took her hand of the momma cat she jumped up to grab the kitten from below. Thats why it took her so long to get to the kitten ;) I know these things, Im an AC (animal communicator)

108 Wendy 02.06.07 at 10:00 pm

Doing our best not to freeze our patooties off in Northern NJ, NYC metro area today as well. Snorgling warm fuzzy kitties and cuddly little boys as often as possible.

109 Martin-san 02.06.07 at 10:11 pm

Wow, now I know how to cry “mom” in Cat. Sweet^^

110 musicchick2 02.06.07 at 10:20 pm

My adult MALE cats just sat there all blase as if to say, “SO??” But then Tipper went and grabbed the scruff of Pooh’s neck (if ya’ know what I mean). *sigh*

111 Aubrey 02.06.07 at 10:34 pm

I don’t know…is this CO’s first instance of Mom Kronsche?

112 Javert 02.06.07 at 10:34 pm

Hah…when I played this my cat went crazy looking for the kittens.

113 Rosie 02.06.07 at 10:38 pm

DKN- some do!! my kitty that’s on my lap purring (named Jelly Belly for his tummy as a kitten and as now) has a couple extra toes, and they’re HUGE!!! he got ‘em from Momma.
I tried taking a COXCU of his paws, but my camera just goes out of focus. can any1 help me figure out how to focus on near objects? i’m EI. (electronically impaired) i need to make a COXCU!1!!! and guess what! i know COXCU without even thinking of the words!! yay me and all my CO addict friends that i’ve never met!!!!11

114 Theo 02.06.07 at 10:47 pm

Rosie — check your camera’s manual & see if it has a “macro” mode. Most point-and-shoot cameras these days have that setting for close-ups. Sample result below…
http://teho.vox.com/library/photo/6a00c2252668128e1d00d09e46e3b8be2b.html
…just remember to hold it *really* steady (brace against something stable, or even use a tripod) and let it get all the way into focus before taking the shot.

115 Firechan 02.06.07 at 10:50 pm

while i think it’s not cool to take a kitten that small from his mom for very long, the mamma cat was obviusly close by. My kitty, Boo, flipped out after about the third time I watched this and started meowing back to the momma cat instead of the kitten, which was so funny. She was like “you bebe ish okay!”

116 leah 02.06.07 at 11:03 pm

My 100 pd. lab wants to take care of that bebe and so does my 20 year old kitteh,, please mom they are asking can we help pleeeeeaaaaassssssseeeeee

117 Nicole 02.06.07 at 11:07 pm

My poor puppy is still running in and out of the house, smelling speakers and crying for the lost kitten. She thinks she is a cat I suppose. Better get a little tike for the dog to raise. LOL It was good for a laugh watching my half blind dog go crazy.

118 Fable 02.06.07 at 11:18 pm

Have you ever notice how some peep like to bring you up and down and up and down just for the sake of keeping you under their control…fake mom or control freak?

119 Kim H. 02.06.07 at 11:18 pm

I agree that kittehs who open and blink their little eyeses don’t usually still have umbilical cord attached… but that’s sure what it looks like. Either that, or something really disgusting is stuck to that baby belleh. And I’d really rather not think about that.

Finally home, played it for my kitties… the young male is the most interested. Go figure.

120 Fable 02.06.07 at 11:23 pm

I am not sure the kitty wants to deal with the problem of his invisible maybe missing umbilical cord here on this forum…but he can sure call his mom about it! no bunny ….they jump.jump.

121 Roberta 02.06.07 at 11:29 pm

leah…..20 Years Old…..WOW; That Cat Must Have Played Safe And Kept The 9 Lives For Future Use.

122 Kit 02.06.07 at 11:39 pm

My roommates cats came running when they heard this kitten mewing! And when I played it again, they all began calling for it and looking around! Awww, they wanna save the bebeh!

123 Ryan Blackhawke 02.07.07 at 12:08 am

I just got Sir Lewis out of bed and he SO did not care nor did either of the dogs. I am so disappointed.

Polly went nuts. I just played it and she tried to crawl into the screen and then went behind my desk to look for the behbeh. And when she couldn’t find it she looked and me and meowed.

125 Dianne 02.07.07 at 12:56 am

OMG! My cats FREAKED out when I played that! They are still wandering around the room looking for the distraught kitty. I want to play it again but fear I will be torturing my poor confused kitties.

126 layla42 02.07.07 at 1:02 am

Now that I finally made it home from work (thank you out-of-the-blue-blizzard) 2 hours late, the first thing I did was check out the videos so I could hear the meeps!

Speak and Isis are still wandering around the laptop looking for the bebbeh. Isis keeps pawing at the side of the laptop, wondering if it’s under the computer!
Silly kitty.

127 Fable 02.07.07 at 1:07 am

Kitty looking for bebbeh? that is the play you are eternally rehearsing in your head silly:)In the bottom of my heart i think kitty and bebbeh know exactly where they are.

128 Fable 02.07.07 at 1:08 am

But no…keep looking…just keep keep looking…its not there yet:)

129 Fable 02.07.07 at 1:09 am

131 Karen 02.07.07 at 1:13 am

Awwwl, the poor baby kitteh sounds like he’s imitating a car that won’t start T__T;

132 thalias_ash 02.07.07 at 1:30 am

My cats are all “where is babykitteh?” and running around the house in mild alarm.

Oh…now they’re asleep again. Never mind.

133 Kar 02.07.07 at 1:37 am

Heck with those scary jaws, I just about jumped at that giant claw!

134 Brak_Silverbone 02.07.07 at 2:02 am

Karen beat me to the punch–tinybabykitten sounds like a car trying to start!

(NOT that I’m asking for that kind of karma. Car-ma. Ha haha. It took me 1 1/4 hours to get home from work today where it usually takes 20 minutes, thank you snowstorm.)

135 Sarah 02.07.07 at 2:48 am

Kitten translation: “Muuuuuuuuuuuum! Mum! Mum! Mum! Mum!”

136 Katie 02.07.07 at 3:00 am

My cats just came running into the room when they heard that and then stared at me accusingly, like I was the one not picking up the kitten.

137 oaklandcat 02.07.07 at 3:17 am

Mama’s paw looks GI-NORMOUS! I love it.

138 Funny Animal Videos 02.07.07 at 3:17 am

LOL… I can’t decided whether this is funny or cute? I laughed so I guess it is funny! :O

139 dandy_warhol 02.07.07 at 3:25 am

while i was watching the video my kitty had to jump up and see what all the mewing was about. i played it again for her and she watched very intently. she even checked the keyboard for me to make sure i wasn’t hiding any kittens behind the keys.

140 SPB 02.07.07 at 3:28 am

Whoa! is right! Sheesh, simmer down youngin, Mom’s here.

Wendy: “umbiblical” cord? Never heard of that part. :)

Theo: hmm… I thought you had posted this one. No? No reason — it just didn’t have the tell-tale “Meg-speak”. Kinda hard to tell since it doesn’t say any longer. Bummer. I kinda liked seeing “posted by Meg” or “posted by Theo”.

Cute meeuuwwwwws

141 Wendy 02.07.07 at 3:42 am

SPB, God bless you for having the patience to read through every single post!

“Umbiblical.” Heard some kid say it somewhere along the line and I just thought it was so cute, it stuck!

142 bad kitteh 02.07.07 at 4:26 am

‘err, how’d you get over there? *glomps* *gives camera guy a dirty look and runs off*

143 natalie q 02.07.07 at 4:41 am

more “mew’vies are always appreciated

144 acelightning 02.07.07 at 4:56 am

Poor scared little baby… the world is so new and frightening… but don’t worry, here comes Mama to the rescue…

145 Tizzylish 02.07.07 at 5:21 am

Oh my gahwd! Too cute.

146 Waffles 02.07.07 at 6:07 am

my roommates cat went running around the room trying to find where the kitty was at lol ^_^

147 Lil 02.07.07 at 6:51 am

that kitty was sooo small it couldnt even hold its liddle head up. so what’s it doin’ up there? a human put him there for sure to take a video of him wobbling! cruel. I’m about done with these set up vids of vulnerable kitties, second one this week. Can we get back to the photos please!?

148 poor violet 02.07.07 at 7:17 am

Holy Mackerel! That was incredible! It’s been a long time since anyone carried me around by my head…

149 adam 02.07.07 at 7:27 am

that was great! i was wondering when someone would come to take care of the poor little kitty, and then momma comes along and is all like CHOMP! awesome.

150 Enigma_Noir 02.07.07 at 7:36 am

Sosososososo cuuuute!!! Ohmygod!! Ohmyfreakinggod…I really really loved that. It made me explode over and over and over and over…there is a mess over here with me and my boyfriend combined…

SOOO CUTE!!!! And mommy’s all like “Eh. I’m comin’…”

151 anonymous 02.07.07 at 1:08 pm

thats sad :(

152 little Alex 02.07.07 at 2:56 pm

I’m so bad… I’ve been playing that over and over again to watch my cat’s reaction to it. He’s, like, looking around so puzzledly.

153 blair 02.07.07 at 3:06 pm

bebeh kitty was all like “where’s my mama” and i was all like “call 911″ and bebeh kitty was all like “yeah call 911″ and mama kitty was all like “where’s my bebeh” and bebeh kitty was all like “yeah call 911 mama” and mama kitty was all like “how’d you get up there?” and bebeh kitty was all like “i dunno” and mama kitty was all like *leap*, *re-leap*, *soft kronsche*, *abscond* and i was all like “whew, another success for the 911 emergency response system”

154 Jenny 02.07.07 at 3:19 pm

HAHA!! This video drives my cat CRAZY!! She’s running all over the house trying to find the kitten!

155 Lauri 02.07.07 at 4:14 pm

Five out of five stars!
Incredicute!!!

156 trin 02.07.07 at 5:13 pm

My cats were furious with me when I played this video…

Go GET the baby and take him to his momma already. WTF is wrong with you, stupid human…

Had to SHOW them the video, and that indeed Momma comes to get him.

157 Jessica 02.07.07 at 6:05 pm

OMG, it sent my cat into fits! Whatever standard cuteness points the bebeh might be lacking, the video makes up for with the reaction from cats across the world!

158 Jaye 02.07.07 at 6:23 pm

Lil, mother cats leave their babies for much longer stretches than shown in this brief video. They need to hunt or visit the food dish, or just get a break from the non-stop demands of kittens. The little ‘uns sometimes mew pitifully, sure. But it’s not “cruel” for Momcat to be out of the frame for a minute.

159 Kara 02.07.07 at 8:14 pm

‘Moooooooooom? MOM! MOM! Mom … MOM! MOM!’ ‘What.’ ‘MOM!’ ‘WHAT.’ ‘MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!’ ‘WHAT?????’ ‘MOM! MOM!’ *galgh!!!* ‘Weeeeeh …’

160 mute 02.08.07 at 2:46 am

I saw that vid a long time ago… Watch my cat reaction to it ^^

Me tinks dees belongs in Cute or Sad. ;)

162 useta hada kitteh 02.08.07 at 4:01 am

mute — that video of your cat’s reaction is wonderful! Shows just what all the peeps have been saying, the meeping kitten drives cats nuts.

And I gotta say it again, that baby has a LOUD voice!

(and for those who’ve been worried about the kitteh, I’m sure he wasn’t psychologically scarred for life by this incident. As others have pointed out, momma cats leave the kitters alone for stretches of time — to eat, to attend to other, erm, “things”; if they’re outdoor farm or feral cats, they go off to hunt — and the babies are just fine. A little annoyed sometimes, perhaps, but they’re fine. Mothers of any variety, cat, human, whatever, can’t be with their babies 24/7, even when they’re newborn. Little Meepy McMeepersons will be just fine.

163 Claire 02.08.07 at 1:41 pm

LOL I’m not sure what the kitty was saying but JamesTheCat was definitely upset by it. He likes my laptop even less now!

164 3 kittehs 02.08.07 at 3:55 pm

omg. my kittehs came running, full speed at the sound of this video. I wouldn’t be surprised if thems was still looking for the baby.

165 lisa 02.08.07 at 4:03 pm

dear dr. cute my cat thought the kitty movie was her kitty!when it said meow .so she looked and looked to find it! it was so funny! from lisa.

166 Bead 02.08.07 at 7:16 pm

Oh, poor little angry/scared kitty!

My Kaatskill was completely freaked out by the baby kitty noise and came creeping over to my laptop, the look on her face clearly saying, “I hear baby!kitty but I don’t *smell* baby!kitty!”

I quickly turned off the sound and she *flinched,* and started rapidly sniffing sniffing sniffing and looking for the baby kitty. She gave my computer speakers a good long sniff and after searching everything – including pawing my husband’s coat pockets suspiciously – she sorta settled down.

But moments later, she’s up and doing a patrol all under the bed.

Oh, Kaatskill, I’m SO sorry. ::stiffles empathtic/cute overloaded/apologetic giggles.

Boy, am I getting the Eveeevil Eye.

167 gena 02.09.07 at 2:00 pm

this is hilarious. i am relieved to find that mine is not the only cat to freak out about this video. i was feeling a little guilty.

168 catfactory 02.10.07 at 12:03 am

My own went caraaazy lookin for the baby!!! Even now after it is over, she is all at attention!

169 Audrey 02.10.07 at 3:34 am

My male cat darling got all confused looking for the meowing!

I love my kitty.

170 core 02.11.07 at 3:54 am

The reactions were definitely gender-related here. The Boy was all “meh,” but the girl, who was a teenage mom before I adopted her, became very agitated, looking everywhere for the kitten. I had to stop playing the clip! I worry that she is all sad now and missing her kittens. I had wondered if she remembered having them, but now I’m pretty sure she does.
