That lick-hither look

by Meg on March 28, 2007

OMG, this kitteh is the Marilyn Monroe bed photo shoot of kittehs.

Happy Birthday Mr. President

Except that this kitteh is a boy named Cosmo. Yeah, except for that, it’s spot on, right Davia S.? ;)

7 Claire 03.28.07 at 8:28 pm

“Why jes dahlink…I know jou cannot rrresist my manly charms. For I am Cosmo and I am beeautiful.”

9 anner 03.28.07 at 8:37 pm

kitteh has that sexy, not-yet-rolled-out-of-bed look. mee-ow!

10 Davia S. 03.28.07 at 8:39 pm

Hello everyone. It breaks my heart to inform you that Cosmo was hit by a car last night and has passed away. We normally keep him in the house, but he got out last night through an open window. Early this morning our neighbor knocked on our door and informed us that he saw Cosmo’s body in the street a few houses down the block. Cosmo will be missed and will always have a special place in our hearts.

Davia

11 Rosie 03.28.07 at 8:41 pm

i’m so sorry Davia S. He’s such a pretty kitty…… =(

12 Theo 03.28.07 at 8:42 pm

[ouch]

I’m sorry too. That’s terrible.

13 wolfwhocriedboy 03.28.07 at 8:43 pm

OMG – Davia! I am so sorry to hear that. :( I recently lost my kitty-boy. This is very tragic but I’m glad he got a tribute here on c.O.

*cyber-huggles*

14 Tiffany 03.28.07 at 8:57 pm

I never thought I’d say (type) this, but man does that chest look soft and inviting.

15 Renae 03.28.07 at 9:11 pm

Davia,

My condolences to you. Losing a beloved pet is heart breaking, I’m so very sorry for your loss.

16 Mary 03.28.07 at 9:11 pm

So sorry about Cosmo. He was truly gorgeous and very snuggly looking.

17 DKN 03.28.07 at 9:18 pm

Davia – I’m so sorry to hear that! :(

((*sending out a virtual hug*))

18 Golden 03.28.07 at 9:24 pm

Oh Davia, I’m so sorry. He made my day today, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

19 warrior rabbit 03.28.07 at 9:39 pm

Oh Davia, I’m so sorry! He just looks like a big love muffin. My condolences.

20 Carlisa 03.28.07 at 9:52 pm

I was so happy to see this pic, but then to read the bad news… My heart goes out to you Davia. How sad.

21 Aimee 03.28.07 at 9:58 pm

So sorry to hear about your loss…losing a pet is one of the hardest things ever. At least you have a wondeful photo to remember him with! And what a great photo it is too!

22 mlle_x 03.28.07 at 10:04 pm

AhhhhAAAAAHHHH! Too cuUUUUTE!

23 Mmmmmmm 03.28.07 at 10:05 pm

Better than a devil dog

24 mlle_x 03.28.07 at 10:07 pm

Oh, I just read all the posts – I’m so sorry to hear about Cosmo!

25 oaklandcat 03.28.07 at 10:17 pm

Oh Davia, let me add my condolences for your sweet Cosmo.

26 Christy 03.28.07 at 10:24 pm

Oh no…that’s so sad.
The picture is asking for a human imitation, though :P .

27 lurkertype 03.28.07 at 10:25 pm

Oh, I went from happies to sads.

Poor Cosmo — but what a great memorial for him.

White cats have the cleanest, piiiiinkest noses EVAR!

28 Lacey's Garden 03.28.07 at 10:30 pm

ooooooohhhhhhhhh I love kitty porn!!! What a beauitful baby!!

29 Davia S. 03.28.07 at 10:30 pm

Just kidding, he’s not dead.

30 Stephanie S. 03.28.07 at 10:32 pm

Oh, no. I lurk a lot and have never posted, but had to chime in and say how sorry I am to hear about Cosmo. He is a beautiful kitty and, I’m sure, had a wonderful and full life with you. Many, many condolences to you and your family.

31 Alice Shortcake 03.28.07 at 10:36 pm

So sorry to hear that the delightful Cosmo is no more. At least he has been immortalized for posterity on CO!

32 fluidstatic 03.28.07 at 10:39 pm

To the Davia S. who posted news of Cosmo’s death: Very sorry for the loss of your very pretty pussykitten. To the Davia S. that posted at 3:30 – if you’re a troll, you’re the most insensitive person i’ve ever seen on CO and you should be ashamed of yourself. (and if you’re the same Davia S from earlier, you’ve seriously harshed my CO-induced mellow. Geez.)

33 Noelegy 03.28.07 at 10:42 pm

Davia, I’m so sorry for your loss. What a handsome fellow he was.

34 Kaya 03.28.07 at 10:43 pm

Cosmo: You waaant me…I knooow you do…
*licking self and giving “how u doin’”-look.*

35 juniper 03.28.07 at 10:51 pm

sizzle,sizzle,sizzle,I’m hot!

36 Aubrey 03.28.07 at 10:53 pm

A beautiful dreamer. Cosmo is in his own little galaxy.

37 nutmeg 03.28.07 at 10:58 pm

I agree with fluidstatic. One of those Davia S’s is really sick.

38 nutmeg 03.28.07 at 10:59 pm

PS – they’re two different people because their emails are different.

39 fifi 03.28.07 at 11:00 pm

how amazingly luscious that cat is! am so sorry about his demise. My own luscious jackson of a cat is very ill.

40 Puffy Kat Girl 03.28.07 at 11:04 pm

WAAAH!!
It looks like its having the time of HIS life!!
^..^

41 Theo 03.28.07 at 11:06 pm

Davia S — if that IS you, writing both of those two conflicting and manipulative comments, then I must say, my opinion of you has just dropped right about through the floor.

So which is it? Dead or alive?

42 Sissy 03.28.07 at 11:16 pm

Oh, Davia .. I’m so sorry to hear this! My heart is breaking for you….

43 caroline 03.28.07 at 11:22 pm

Davia.. I’m so sorry you lost your little boy.

44 cutebabyfix.com 03.28.07 at 11:28 pm

It’s an x file now… the truth is out there. If poor Cosmo has truly gone to the great big catnip field in the sky, then we should have a memorial service, CO style:
Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
2 get through this thing called life

Electric word life
It means forever and that’s a mighty long time
But I’m here 2 tell u
There’s something else
The afterworld

A world of never ending happiness
U can always see the sun, day or night

So when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
U know the one – Dr Everything’ll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby

‘Cuz in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life
You’re on your own

And if de-elevator tries 2 bring u down
Go crazy – punch a higher floor!

45 Theo 03.28.07 at 11:31 pm

CBF.com — Prince is practically my neighbor.
(OK, not really… Paisley Park is in Shakopee, which is a bit of a drive.)

46 cutebabyfix.com 03.28.07 at 11:41 pm

It felt.. Appropriate. I don’t really like his Royal Purpleness much, but I have all his songs memorized cause I shared a room with my older sister and she wanted to marry him. Eww.

47 smokeyJoe 03.28.07 at 11:51 pm

i’m so sorry about your cat. that really sux.

O

(halo kitty)

49 Dana 03.29.07 at 12:28 am

This is so weird… I had a kitty named Kosmo who looked just like this, except his eyes were green. I had to put him to sleep last month because he had cancer, and I miss him like hell. I’m so sorry for your loss Davia.

50 jaypo 03.29.07 at 1:09 am

Davia, blessings to you in your loss and sadness. He was a beautiful kitteh.

51 Theo 03.29.07 at 1:27 am
52 lurkingsmirk 03.29.07 at 1:34 am

I tried to come hither but I bonked my nose on the screen…

Kitteh is a fluffy white angel now =(

53 Rogers Place 03.29.07 at 2:07 am

Lovely kitten pirtures.

54 Cathryn Bauer 03.29.07 at 2:07 am

Davia, I am so sorry for this tragic loss. I know Cosmo was so happy with you; he has that look. I believe he’s now warm, happy, and safe in the Summerland, thinking loving and grateful thoughts of you.

55 Tony James 03.29.07 at 3:15 am

Ok, so I didn’t get in first with the red pandas, but did anyone already see The Levitating Goats?

http://image.guardian.co.uk/Guardian/gallery/2007/mar/28/internationalnews/004-9021.jpg

What season is it? It must be SPROING!

56 Theo 03.29.07 at 3:32 am

LOL, goat floats… maybe you’d care to check out *my* Vox…?

57 AuntieMame 03.29.07 at 3:42 am

So is the cat dead or not?

Somebody’s playing an exceedingly rude “joke” either way.

58 Tony James 03.29.07 at 4:24 am

Goat floats is baaaaaaad – you get the hair stuck in your teefs and it’s dificult to find the right flavour of icecream :p

59 soxfan 03.29.07 at 5:07 am

In case Cosmo really is dead, my condolences to you Davia. I’m lighting a candle anyway. If it’s all a lie, Cosmo can use the extra thoughts. Self-fulfilling prophecy, be careful what you wish for, awful coincidences, etc.

60 Caitlin 03.29.07 at 5:13 am

Oh nooooes! I’m so sorry, Davia. And what weird timing. 0.o

Re: the second Davia post… either she mis-typed her own email address, or it’s a troll. What a freak.

Finally, I have to say that I can smell the kitty bref from here.

61 Paula Kubik 03.29.07 at 7:25 am

I was going to say, Gene Simmons, eat your heart out, but then I saw the sad post about Cosmo’s tragic accident. I’m so sorry for your loss.

62 The Honourable Gladys Anstruther 03.29.07 at 8:52 am

Davia, so sorry to hear about cosmo. One of my boys is missing, I hope the answer is not the same.
David

63 lynnrwright 03.29.07 at 10:19 am

good comment word .

64 Kris 03.29.07 at 12:04 pm

hey my kitty Bryce looks just like Cosmo! Except Bryce has 3 faint black splotches on his head so everyone always thinks I dropped paint on him… If Cosmo has truely passed on to kitty heaven he’ll be in good company with my cat Kitty who passed away several years back…

65 nermalkitty 03.29.07 at 12:49 pm

somebody better get back on here and clarify this situation. don’t make us come thru cyberspace as a single conscious to annihilate the evil you have allowed yourself to become ……

66 Rachel 03.29.07 at 1:24 pm

Rest in peace, sweet Cosmo. Davia, ((((big hugs))))

67 Theo 03.29.07 at 1:40 pm

FYI Peeps –
Postpone thy Peevishness, for I Prognosticate and Predict a Plethora of Prosh Posts!

68 ThreeCatNight 03.29.07 at 2:05 pm

“Oh, Mr DeMille, I’m ready for my closeup. Wait, another lick here. Oops – missed a spot!”
(If Cosmo’s really gone, then my heart goes out to you Davia. I’ve been down that road several times. If he’s not, then someone’s really got a problem upstairs.)

69 Yitzysmommie 03.29.07 at 2:33 pm

Cosmo is a beautiful kitteh and I lurves his tongue. I remain cornfused this morning about the second Davia post….any wisdom, Teho or Meg? Either way, loves and purrs to Cosmo and his true owner.

70 Theo 03.29.07 at 2:38 pm

YMom — nope, nothing to add, sorry… the behind-the-scenes info was inconclusive. I will say that I have no patience for any further BS around this matter, though, and I’ll continue to monitor.

(nobody effs with my Peeps)

71 Oh My 03.29.07 at 3:00 pm

Yikes. This really is a no win situation. If the initial comment is true, how awful is it that we, as a group, would demand proof. In all liklihood, (im)poster #2 is just a troll and needs his/her IP address blocked from further posting. This seems a happy bunch of cutelovers, for the most part. Maybe a members -only option is the answer.

72 Theo 03.29.07 at 3:12 pm

Oh My — exactly. And I hear what you’re saying about “members only” comment-posting, and you make a good point. I don’t really want to do that, though, and neither does Meg.

My strong feeling is that it would squelch the dialog here too much. The anti-spam “captcha” test is already enough of an obstacle… y’know, type in these six blurry characters to prove you’re not a zombie robot? It’s already high enough on a scale of one to “necessary evil,” don’cha think?

Anyway, for now and the foreseeable future, CO has live wetware moderating the forum (c’est moi). I don’t see the need for the extra extra user-authentication step at this time; it’s too impersonal.

73 Florida Fran 03.29.07 at 3:36 pm

An illustration of both states, a dead and living cat. According to quantum theory, after an hour the cat is in a quantum superposition of coexisting alive and dead states. Yet when we look in the box we expect to only see one of the states, not a mixture of them

74 Kathryn 03.29.07 at 3:38 pm

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss- But he’s got a lovely memorial on C.O., with hundreds upon hundreds of people loving his sensual nature- and adorableness.

75 kellyfaerie 03.29.07 at 3:52 pm

Theo – Maybe something at least to register a nick name and tie it to a specific email address? That would solve the minor problem of having two Kelly’s for example (for a while we were both posting as “kelly” so it could have been confusing). The way we have it now, it is way too easy for this type of thing to happen.

76 Theo 03.29.07 at 3:58 pm

KellyFaerie — that service exists already (free), but it’s voluntary, not required. It’s called TypeKey & I even use it; you can click my name link to pull up my profile as an example. More info here:

77 A thinker 03.29.07 at 4:10 pm

I can almost smell the kitty breath and feel the sandpaper tongue. (Ick).

78 carmen 03.29.07 at 4:28 pm

Cosmo is so beautiful! give us a kiss darlin…

79 Becca 03.29.07 at 4:34 pm

just wanted to comment on how much I love this pic. read the other comments and..weirdoverload…(?!)it’s always heartbreaking to lose a special animal.
it’s a great photo.

80 The First Noel 03.29.07 at 5:01 pm

I think that only proven Cuteoverload Addicts should be allowed to post in this site. How about a vote?

Those who are not Cuteoverload addicts enough would have to leave.

We could have a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most addicted, and everyone would have to be above a 9.5 to post.

This would weed out the imposters and the not truly cute-addicted.

81 mlle_x 03.29.07 at 5:09 pm

my CO addiction goes to ELEVEN.

82 anahi 03.29.07 at 6:13 pm

CUTE CAT !!!!!!!!!

83 HRH 03.30.07 at 12:19 am

this is too confusing …

is this lovely kitteh alive or not ???

84 Theo 03.30.07 at 1:38 am

Ambiguous… so maybe YOU get to choose.

Or, you could go look at these!
http://teho.vox.com/library/post/no-more-guesses.html

85 Yitzysmommie 03.30.07 at 12:55 pm

CONGRATULATIONS, THEO & especially Kenya!!! My comp has an evil demon causing slow load today so I’m having a hard time looking at the video, gggrrr, and then I’m off to an all day conference so I cannot noodle on the interwebs, double grr. The bebehs are adorabuls – how many? I hope that Mom and bebhs and the proud granparents are all resting comfurtubully today :-)
Will return later & hope for many more pix.

86 layla42 03.30.07 at 1:18 pm

eee!
babies!!!

It’s going to take a powerful amount of self-control to keep me from getting a new kitten today.

87 Subhangi 03.30.07 at 2:34 pm

He’s so cute. Sorry about his loss.

88 Theo 03.30.07 at 5:04 pm

test. This is not actually Theo

89 Kelyfaerie 03.30.07 at 5:06 pm

ok that was me. I wanted to see if it would disallow me from choosing your name, Theo, and it didn’t. So, sure you can register, but it doesnt stop someone from posting with your name.

90 Kellyfaerie 03.30.07 at 5:07 pm

aaaaand i misspelled my name anyway. doh. :P

91 Lil 04.01.07 at 10:06 am

is Cosmo OK or not? you cant kid around saying he’s passed on and then say it was a joke. you have to be honest. karma will catch up with you!

92 Dania Schmidt 04.02.07 at 5:57 pm

Hi everyone…. not sure how this post got so off track but… I’m happy to tell you that COSMO is alive and well and probably licking himself at home as we speak.

Also, my name is DANIA not Davia… I think whoever entered the picture on the site made a typo and this Davias@yahoo.com is just causing problems for no good reason.

93 Dania Schmidt 04.02.07 at 6:04 pm

PS – I would have posted sooner but I just realized today that Cosmo was even on the site. Thanks for all the kind words, I do adore him.

94 Dania Schmidt 04.02.07 at 9:09 pm

Just one more comment… this is from Cosmo… he’s inviting all of his well-wishers to visit his myspace page so you can see he is alive and well. http://www.myspace.com/cosmocosmo

Thanks again for all the kind words.

95 fluidstatic 04.02.07 at 10:16 pm

Thank you, Dania, for your email letting us know that beautiful Cosmo is alive and well. What a strange and complicated trick this has been!
