Toesday! STRAAAAYCHE

by Meg on April 3, 2007

Um, who would name their cat "Milkshake"? GENIUSES THAT’S WHO

I ken’t get enough of the toe act-shon (right below the word ‘act-shon.’) Please check out the 4-pronged pawsitude.

My leg looks like a cartoon version of a paper drumstick topper

Arabella P-V., way to gooooooooo-ehn!

4 warrior two 04.03.07 at 4:24 pm

Somebody’s bellah is asking for snorgles…

5 Subhangi 04.03.07 at 4:25 pm

The “Milkshake” song was ‘xactly what I was thinking!

Oh, and this is the irresistible “smoosh your face into my belly” pose. Awwwwwww.

I love the toesies!

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhn!

Now that Meg’s established today’s (or should that be “toe-day’s”) theme, I can’t wait to see what she brings out next.

Holy twisted middle!

10 annie poonanny 04.03.07 at 4:32 pm

The toes remind me of those little decorative things (hats?) you put on turkey legs.

Too cute.

13 Daisycat 04.03.07 at 4:55 pm

A friend of mine’s husband is in the military and when he was in Basic Training he had a Drill Instructor that would yell for them to “SKKRREEEEEEETCH YO FEEETS!!!!!”I always thought this was sooo funny so when I catch my kittehs skretchin like dis, i yell it at them…I think they like it. They think I am crazy. they are prob right..LOL!

14 ThreeCatNight 04.03.07 at 4:56 pm

Oooh, a big cat stretch, with that adorable, soft little belleh — just waiting for a rub or a snorgle! Hard to resist!
(must control self in office)

15 Sneezy 04.03.07 at 4:56 pm

Milkshake. What a sweet name for a white cat! (S?)he’s adorable.

16 The Honourable Gladys Anstruther 04.03.07 at 5:02 pm

Milkshake begins her stretching exercises for tonights ballet, where she is famed for her entrechat.

17 Mlle X 04.03.07 at 5:04 pm

Stretchie TOES!!!!!

18 carmen 04.03.07 at 5:08 pm

sweet!

19 indi 04.03.07 at 5:11 pm

Milkshakes is also the name of Billy’s cat on Billy & Mandy’s Grim Adventures ;)

or, she is skilled at attracting handsome Tuxedo cats to the front lawn.

Ehhhn!

20 Jessica 04.03.07 at 5:17 pm

I used to have a cat when I was little who would do that with his toes and after watching him do it so much, I practiced and I could (and still can) do it too! :) Not as cute though. ;)

21 Jen S. 04.03.07 at 5:30 pm

Man, I wish I could stretch like that…

22 Mary 04.03.07 at 5:31 pm

Be-yooooo-teefull!!

23 R. Moore 04.03.07 at 5:34 pm

I named a cat chowder once. Hilarity ensued.

Sister: What’s for dinner?
Other sister: Chowder!

24 R. Moore 04.03.07 at 5:35 pm

Also, Milkshake is a somewhat twisted name to give a cat if you’re a Louis XIV fan…

25 DanS 04.03.07 at 5:36 pm

Stretched kittie toes like this always remind me of the Grinch holding Max the dog’s leg as Max dangles from the end of the sled full of stolen toys.

26 Angela P. 04.03.07 at 5:45 pm

Those splayed toes are perfect!

27 Becca 04.03.07 at 5:58 pm

apparently I have been missing out. I have never heard of the Milkshake song.
I love the toes though – cat toes always melt me.

28 Robbie 04.03.07 at 6:08 pm

My brother and I always called 4-pronged pawsitude “crow’s feet.”

I bet that stretch felt good!

29 floppycat 04.03.07 at 6:11 pm

DanS,

Milkshake’s toes are SO like Max’s!!! Nice call.

30 ceejoe 04.03.07 at 6:14 pm

milkshake is *loverly*
… and that raspberry sherbet-colored chair is gorgeous too!

31 cutebabyfix.com 04.03.07 at 6:14 pm

I don’t know the milkshake song they are talkin about either- but I gots my own which goes down like this:
I’m goin to the country
I’m going to the fair
To see a senorita
With flowers in her hair

Shake it baby
Shake it
Shake it all you can
Shake it like a milkshake
and pour it inna pan
1,2,3,4,567,8910

I taught this song to all the kiddos at the daycare.
Their parents LOVED it.

32 Sarah 04.03.07 at 6:21 pm

hehehe! Reminds me of my dog. When she stretches, she looks like she’s saying her prayers. :) :)

33 beenclawed 04.03.07 at 6:22 pm

When my cat does this I say “ooooh big stretchers for the baby!!!!!!!!!!” She’s like “yeah, whatever mom” with a look like the tuxedo cat named Friendly -lol!

34 ShelleyTambo 04.03.07 at 6:28 pm

We had a baby kitter named Milkshake at my shelter a coupla months ago. She was mostly white with some black, so it must’ve been an Oreo milkshake.

I love how kitty’s front half seems to have no idea what the back half is doing.

35 anne 04.03.07 at 6:43 pm

annie poonany – those things are actually called “panties” for some reason. like it’s some kind of turkey lingerie.

36 Elizabeth B 04.03.07 at 7:31 pm

Le stretch!

My kitty’s middle name is Milkshake. Annabelle Milkshake. To go along with the other cat we had at the time, Christine Velcro…

37 Anthony Clark 04.03.07 at 7:53 pm

Not the same kitteh, but more odd-eye white toe action:

38 Beth 04.03.07 at 8:16 pm

DanS…I couldn’t think of where I had seen those toes before and you’re right, that’s where I’ve seen dems before!

39 leah 04.03.07 at 9:51 pm

this milkshake looks to comfy toes and tocks stretched all over the place was she at “freindlyS” party last night lol this milkshake just made my day and no calories even better.

40 musicchick2 04.03.07 at 10:10 pm

Wanting to fit in with all the “trendy” cats in L.A., Milkshake has signed up for a kitty yoga class. Steeeeeerreeettttch!

(I don’t know much about yoga. Is Milkshake’s ‘pose’ similar to any yoga pose? Peoples?)

41 acelightning 04.03.07 at 10:49 pm

That’s one s-t-r-e-t-c-h-y cat! (And a lovely vanilla milkshake s/he is, too.) Now we need to find, or make, toe socks in kitty sizes!

42 Merl 04.03.07 at 11:05 pm

When our cats stretch out their toes like that, we call it flower-toes because they look like flower petals…very silly but it makes us laugh

43 Brak_Silverbone 04.03.07 at 11:36 pm

Isn’t it awesome how the dark background frames those splayed-out tootsies to perfection?

44 chacha 04.03.07 at 11:44 pm

We call it Chicken Feet chez nous.
As to yoga, musicchick2, it is kind of a revolved fish pose! No kidding! :-)
In fish, you press the crown of your head to the floor and arch the upper back away from the floor, stretching feet away .. so add a rotation …? Maybe?

45 Melissa 04.04.07 at 1:05 am

Ooooh, spread out toeses!!!!

46 R. Moore 04.04.07 at 2:49 am

Becca and Cutebabyfix:

This song is quite blatantly NOT child-friendly… I don’t think any Louis XIV songs are.

47 Aubrey 04.04.07 at 2:59 am

“Too…much…starch….!”

48 Fuzzybutt 04.04.07 at 5:16 am

That is what we call in my house as BLOOMIN’ TOES!!!

49 book_monstercats 04.04.07 at 12:48 pm

Hon. Glad. Ans. “EntreCAT” surely????

50 pyrit 04.04.07 at 5:05 pm

Yes, I thought ballerina toes too! And entrechat. Too bad the “chat” part means “change”, instead of “cat”. (French for cat is chat as you know).

I’m such a proud mama that my baby made it on here! He’s a boy by the way, but he acts like a girly princess most of the time. You can read all about his cute/evil self here: http://www.myspace.com/jerkshake

Milkshake looks just like my kitty, Angel, who went to Heaven a year ago.

Angel was the sweetest kitty I have ever known. She would curl up close to my heart. She would roll around so I could rub her belly.

I miss Angel so much. She had severe anemia due to Feline Leukemia.

Heaven already has lots of angels. I wish Heaven would return her to me.
