This is gettin to be re-god-damn-diculous.

To heck with space, Qte is the real final frontier.

7 Katie 02.22.07 at 9:03 pm

I remember that episode. Didn’t that cat turn into a woman at the end?

Katie: “I remember that episode. Didn’t that cat turn into a woman at the end?”

Oooh. If that’s the case, does that mean that Spock got himself some pu–?[gets dragged off by the pervert police]

11 Stephanie S. 02.22.07 at 9:06 pm

Aww! I’m going to rasturbate this!

12 genetic lemon 02.22.07 at 9:06 pm

Oh no you did not just post this … *distributes*

13 sidney 02.22.07 at 9:08 pm

Do we really need this vulgar stuff on this site?
Getting disgusting. Bunch of pervs.

14 Lauri 02.22.07 at 9:12 pm

LOL at FEnM.

I remember this episode, too!

Live long and prosper, Miss Kitka.

18 TAJ 02.22.07 at 9:28 pm

in case people were puzzled (possibly offended) by Stephanie S.’s post, calm down, and let me clarify.

To “rasturbate” is to use an online program that takes a small picture and will blow it up to enormous sizes, pixelated in Lichtenstein fashion, and divide it up so you can print it on regular 8.5″x11″ paper, and assemble it together for giant picturey goodness.

19 TeratoMarty 02.22.07 at 9:31 pm

While I’ll concede that any picture including both Spock and cats is automatically cute, this particular cat looks more like a candidate for MyCatHatesYou.com than CuteOverload.com. Of course, kitten wrath is somewhat cute in and of itself.

20 brinnann 02.22.07 at 9:34 pm

TAJ, thanks for the clarification. I wasn’t offended by the word, but I was doing some furbrow action trying to follow it.

21 shanchan 02.22.07 at 9:36 pm

Kudos to grandefille for remembering that line- I was trying to think of it!

The question now is did that pic come from Catspaw, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catspaw_%28TOS_episode%29

of “Assignment: Earth”, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment:_Earth_%28TOS_episode%29 ?

Or were they the same black cat? :)

22 erin 02.22.07 at 9:38 pm

omg… I’ve been trek-obsessed over the past week, my trek-obsession and cat-obsession have merged into one!

23 brinnann 02.22.07 at 9:38 pm

I never was much of a Spock fan (*ducks as large objects are thrown, along with pudding*), but I’m loving this picture. He’s obviously trying to resist the irresistable.

24 Kat 02.22.07 at 9:50 pm

This pic is from Assignment Earth where the cat’s name is Isis and only turns into a woman once at the very end. In Catspaw, Sylvia the cat shapechanges several times into a woman and was trying to take over the enterprise and Spock therefore had no chance to touch her.

25 pyrit 02.22.07 at 9:52 pm

“Spock it to me”

26 Katie 02.22.07 at 9:53 pm

Spock never had a chance as long as that stud muffin Kirk was around.

27 Aubrey 02.22.07 at 10:08 pm

I never liked Star Trek (dodges larges objects, catches the puddins), so I’ll just be a Spocktater on this one.

28 Jory 02.22.07 at 10:41 pm

hehehe… Spocktater…

Its more likely that you’ll have to dodge large objects for that remark.

29 Another Angela 02.22.07 at 10:42 pm

I am a Next Gen fan myself, and this reminded me of Data and his sweet cat Spot.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Data-spot.jpg

30 Chris B. 02.22.07 at 11:04 pm

The trilling was from ‘The Trouble with Tribbles’ They both look uncomfortable in the picture. Although it is cute they both have pointed ears….

31 Lizzy 02.22.07 at 11:18 pm

Another Angela – hell yes TNG! Remember the one where Data asks Warf to watch Spot for him?

Data: “You must talk to him; tell him that he is a good cat, and a pretty cat, and…”

Warf: “I will feed him.” [Klingon grump face]

Me’s a HUGE trecki. But I watch TNG. And only TNG! The old school’s a tad cheesy for my sweet taste.

34 fawn lust 02.22.07 at 11:40 pm

okay, now that i’ve regained a minimum of composure… this picture is too awesome. omg. trekoverload! okay, i’m losing it again.

35 hardy 02.22.07 at 11:47 pm

Oh my Dog, my favorite website and my favorite show all at once? Though, I agree with the others, The Next Generation simply can’t be upped!

36 Liz 02.22.07 at 11:50 pm

This photo rocks!!

37 lurkertype 02.22.07 at 11:51 pm

Old-skool, original recipe, classic Trek, AND a kitteh!

w00tness!

38 modulegirl 02.22.07 at 11:56 pm

actually, TeratoMarty, i would beg to differ. it looks more like a picture for MyVulcanHatesYou.com than MyCatHatesYou.com. the kitteh looks loverly and chilled. Spock looks like he sat on a pin…

39 Brak_Silverbone 02.23.07 at 12:07 am

Modulegirl, doesn’t Spock ALWAYS look like he sat on a pin? :) Awesome picture! Mr. Spock was my first TV crush.

40 guineapiggin9 02.23.07 at 12:13 am

OMG! that reminds me of this one time 4 art class, we had 2 draw a picture in charcoal of someone we admire, but i couldn’t think of anybody so i just drew Spock! I wish i would’ve known about the kitty version. Although i must say that my drawing was th best in the class;it would have been better with the kitteh tho!

41 Dustbunny 02.23.07 at 12:34 am

“Nah. Not feelin’ it.”

I think you mean “not feline it” : )

And Spock looks like he’s about to do a Vulcan mind-meld with the kitteh.

42 Mary 02.23.07 at 12:45 am

omg Someone beat me to the “live well and prospurrr” which was my first thought on seeing this.

As for the mind meld image, all I can think of is “PAAAAIIIIIINNNN” (imagine Horta instead of Kitteh)

43 Peg of Tilling 02.23.07 at 1:26 am

Vulcan mind meld with kitty…

Kitty: This is illogical.

Spock: Want kibble!

44 Yubi Shines 02.23.07 at 1:42 am

..I swear the kitten’s doing the same “one eyebrow raised” thing as Spock.

Spooky.

45 Angela P. 02.23.07 at 1:45 am

I’m sure that underneath all that fur the kitten has pointy ears too.

46 Angela P. 02.23.07 at 1:45 am

Right, I meant pointy *eyebrows*! Sorry.

47 Yubi Shines 02.23.07 at 1:50 am

Pointy ears AND pointy eyebrows.

I THINK YOU’RE ONTO SOMETHING.

48 frIda_fan66 02.23.07 at 1:56 am

Live long and prospurrrrrrrrrrr

OMG!! LOVED that episode! And for all you TNG’ers out there…ever notice how Data’s cat kept changing? (Go here to read… or my post will be 4 miles long!)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spot_%28Star_Trek%29
And as far as we know, he never had more than 1 cat! LOL

Oh, and the Spock-to-Cat-cute-ratio is OFF THE CHARTS!!! The only thing that would be better is Cmdr. Riker with a kitty…. :)

53 R. Moore 02.23.07 at 2:27 am

Glorious. Just glorious.

54 SeaBreeze 02.23.07 at 2:44 am

Spock: “I can resist the cuteness, I can resist the cuteness, I … can … reeesissst … teh… cuuuteenessss….”

Kitteh: “Resistance is futile.”

55 Ms. Griffin 02.23.07 at 2:50 am

It’s like the tribble episode, but cuter.

56 erin 02.23.07 at 3:12 am

but you can’t see the pretty necklace she wears in that picture!

57 Carlisa 02.23.07 at 4:22 am

Finally! ONE Capt Kirk didn’t get!

58 acelightning 02.23.07 at 5:57 am

I, too, love both Spock and cats. I, too, had a massive crush on Spock when I was a teenager. And I, too, thought “live long and prospurrrrr…”

Come to think of it, Spock seemed to get along pretty well with animals in general. Having tried to mind-meld with my own cat, and my rabbits, I have to say that enjoying cuteness is completely logical ;-D

Oh, and:

Yes, it is illogical. We must observe the squeeee!!

66 KristoCat 02.23.07 at 3:15 pm

OMG!!!111!!!1

Le sigh…back when I was a tweenie, Mr. Spock was my first serious crush. I totally groove on the reserved, intelligent guys with very dry senses of humor. I think this is why I also love me some Prof. Snape, who also strikes me as a cat person…I see him with a shorthair, probably darker colored, and definitely with that feline “Oh you? You’re still here? And what exactly are you doing in *my* room in the first place?” attitude.

70 Redzilla 02.23.07 at 4:36 pm

Spock: “Unfortunately, Captain, despite extensive research into the phenomenon, I am unable to ascertain why kittens are so silly.”

71 shanchan 02.23.07 at 4:42 pm

Spot rocked- and I really loved Data’s Ode to Spot:
http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Ode_to_Spot
especially this verse:
“A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents,

“You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.

“And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion

“It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.”

72 Subhangi 02.23.07 at 6:20 pm

LOL!

73 Mia 02.23.07 at 7:14 pm

Be-yoot-i-ful kitty!! One of my favorite episodes, too. Trekkers of the world unite! I love TOS the best (sorry, it’s what I grew up on) but TNG is excellent. I like DS9, but haven’t been able to appreciate Voyager or Enterprise.

74 Jenifersf 02.23.07 at 7:29 pm

My little black cat’s name is Mr. Spock. A friend sent me this pic. It’s blowing my mind, man! lol

75 carmen 02.23.07 at 7:40 pm

spock was the best! look to sets of pointy ears captain!

76 Jennie 02.23.07 at 9:41 pm

Whoa… another Jennifer with a black cat…

I was just going to say that Spock is holding my little Aria!

I’m not quite a trekker… but if any of the Star Treks are on TV (except Enterprise which made me die a little inside) I stop channel surfing immediately. My dad is the one that got me hooked on Star Trek. He owns all the movies… and his favorite (and mine too) is Wrath of Kahn. >.<

77 mariaS 02.23.07 at 11:40 pm

I have to disagree with you folks, I think this photo was shopped! I believe that pic’s from an episode where Uhura’s singing, and Mr. Spock is playing a Vulcan harp. Look carefully at the hands.

78 Theo 02.24.07 at 12:09 am

[frustrated sigh]
No, MariaS, it’s not.

Click on the photo & look at the full-size version. The whole thing is consistently patterned with old-style TV pixels, which would make it a great deal more trouble than it’d be worth to chop together. It’s a simple screenshot from the episode mentioned in some of the comments above, with the shape-shifting lady/cat.

79 Theo 02.24.07 at 4:37 pm
80 useta hada kitteh 02.24.07 at 5:03 pm

ouchie. I don’t know what Spock would have to say about that, Theo, but, all I can say is ouchie.

81 Villy 02.24.07 at 8:01 pm

I love Spock!

Though I like TNG better, because that’s just how young I am. :-P I saw TNG first, and therefore, like it better.

My favorite characters are always the ones that are supposed to have no emotions *or limit how expressive they are*: Spock, Data, Teal’c *from Stargate SG-1*, and yes, professor Snape.

The dry wit *and sometimes total ignorance* gets me EVERY TIME.

82 Theo 02.24.07 at 8:04 pm

Villy — how about Marvin, the chronically-depressed robot from Hitchhiker’s Guide, then?
(…was even voiced by Alan “Snape” Rickman, in the recent movie version)

i wasn’t able to spend hardly any time on CO this past work week . . . &:o(
so i’m absolutely loving reading these comments today.
Lof Star Trek1
Lof teh kittycatters!
i lof all of you guys! Sometimes you make me so happy! &:o)

84 Anna 02.25.07 at 6:13 am

I hate Spock, but I like the kitty.

85 Victoria 02.25.07 at 8:32 pm

Great picture! I love the old Star Trek Series, Spock is the greatest! :D

86 Villy 02.26.07 at 12:44 am

Oh yes! How could I forget Marvin?

Its been awhile since I’ve read the books or watched the movie, but he is DEFINITELY up there. :-)

87 MariaS 02.26.07 at 2:49 pm

Well, Theo, if you say so. I don’t remember that scene, but I did think of the other immediately. I’ll give you this one. Reminds me of a guy pal who related better to cats than people. He was a bit like Spock, too, except for some temper.

88 NeoCleo 02.26.07 at 11:48 pm

Mr. Spock was and always will be the absolute coolest in the known universe.

89 doomchild 03.12.07 at 5:04 pm

I am in looooooooove.
