Nice hat, there, Mr. Bounce.  It’s maybe a little fussy, though.

Meer…Cat?
Harharhar.

2 amarie 07.21.07 at 8:35 am

The commentary really makes this one for me!

Cats that sit in the window and watch the world go by are my favorite kind of cats.

3 Snorga 07.21.07 at 9:05 am

That is too funny. “You have far more patience then I ever suspected…” wait, maybe not. Excellent timing there, Mr. Bounce! He should really do stand-up comedy. :-)

4 Lynda 07.21.07 at 9:11 am

Great curtains as well!

5 Subhangi 07.21.07 at 9:15 am

I’m with Snorga – more stand-up comedy routines from Bounce and Rikki, please Teho?

6 saiida 07.21.07 at 9:24 am

hahahaahahaa i like the slapping action in the end..

7 leah b. 07.21.07 at 10:15 am

I have never seen that one before, that was funny and extremly cute. I would not mind a hat like that but I would prefer a hat between me and that hat less scratchy….lol

8 Darcy (aka David Bowie fangirl of doom) 07.21.07 at 11:38 am

that was like really awesome! so cute and hilarious! the siamese kitty is acting like my kitten, standing up at the window.

9 Alexis 07.21.07 at 12:16 pm

Theo, I totally love that video. I’ve been watching it since you put it on your blog. My boyfriend and I are big fans of Rikki and Bounce — I know neither of my cats would tolerate that for a second.

10 soxfan 07.21.07 at 1:01 pm

Wow, Theo! What an awesome catch there with the camera. Too funny!

11 Sissy 07.21.07 at 1:43 pm

That’s great, Teho — I love it!!

The Cat In The Hat?

The Cat *IS* The Hat!

13 DKN 07.21.07 at 2:11 pm

YAY! RIKKI!!!!!!!!!

14 Annie 07.21.07 at 2:37 pm

Mr Bounce:(long suffering look at Theo)Are you going to allow this pest to stand on my head… Sputter… laughing ?? you are Laughing at me???? You aren’t going to rescue me??? Well!!! (said in incredulous cat voice)

(Stands up Relieving self of Riki kitten) Get off me you… you KITTEN. (and other assorted bad words we won’t print here)

Riki: Hey Mr Bounce Hey I was using you for a leg up get back here. How am I supposed to see what those kids are up to? I need an extra five inches…

Mr bounce: I am NOT your personal ladder and take that for your insolent kitten ways
kitty battle ensues.

MR bounce stalks off bored and disgusted with Riki and Especially Theo.

(Last look at Theo) yeah laugh it up computer man.. but when you least expect it … I will get my revenge…

15 Theo 07.21.07 at 2:57 pm

BTW, the only “revenge” Bounce has exacted upon us for this kitteny abomination is pretty much just sleeping on our clean laundry & pillowcases slightly more. Orange fur up the nose, y’know. Pleh.

Spot, however, is less sanguine. [grrrrrRRRRRRrrrrrRrRRRrrr!]

16 Yitzysmommie 07.21.07 at 3:57 pm

YAY!!!! you finally put Rikki and long suffering Bounce here YAY!! Now the world can see the Qte in the CatCave.
Poor Spot. Is he/she getting more scritches and snorgles from the peeps to make up for the hieous interloper? Perhaps more tuna and/or nip?

17 Metz 07.21.07 at 4:29 pm

I just can’t get enough of this vid.
LMAAOTP

18 DKN 07.21.07 at 5:00 pm

Theo, am I imagining it or is Rikki getting quite a bit of floof on his tail?

19 Theo 07.21.07 at 5:08 pm

DKN — that tail is LONG, fer shure, but it’s only fluffy when he puffs it up.

20 R. Moore 07.21.07 at 5:32 pm

He he he he. Like children, cats love to make liars of you.

21 lurkertype 07.21.07 at 8:09 pm

!!!YAY!!! The Rikki and Bounce video! I am always willing to watch it again.

I agree with Y’smom, teh World needs to know all about teh CatCaveCute.

22 Tina Rhea 07.21.07 at 8:13 pm

I have on our fridge a magnet that says, “I’ve decided to quit my job, drop out of society, and wear live anaimals as hats,” but Rikki wasn’t quite what I had in mind.

You go, Bounce. Tell him to treat you with the respect you clearly deserve.

23 SeaBreeze 07.21.07 at 8:40 pm

Meowrrrrrp?

Meowrrrrp!

=)

24 Kim H. 07.21.07 at 8:47 pm

I dreamed last night that Mr. Bounce ran away from home and made it all the way from Minnesota to Oregon, and I was the one to recognize him from Teho’s blog and get him shipped home. Then I got up and watched this again, and realized why he ran away!

Except in the dream, Mr. Bounce had a very strange skin condition that looked as if barnacles were clinging to him. That part was sort of icky.

25 Ash 07.21.07 at 8:49 pm

Yeah, I think those curtains are more priceless than the video… yikes!

26 Theo 07.21.07 at 9:39 pm

I’m never going to be able to get rid of those #*@%!₪& hotwheels curtains, am I?
Or, hmm, maybe on eBay… [scheming]

28 judy 07.21.07 at 9:49 pm

love the director’s commentary too. :] great flame curtains. :D

29 HRH 07.21.07 at 9:57 pm

Alice Shortcake – LOL !!!

I love how Rikki makes out like the Alpha cat & has to have the last ‘word’

and Theo – those are Alpha curtains … *wink*

30 Dale 07.21.07 at 10:32 pm

Your cat is fedorable.

31 Beauregard 07.21.07 at 11:34 pm

You can always tell the Teho vids by the curtains!

32 Yitzysmommie 07.21.07 at 11:58 pm

Stopped by the Salt Lake County Animal Shelter today (from whence we adopted Yitzy as a teensy bebeh). First cage, eye level in the Kittayn room was a Rikki duplicate. First I creid “Rikki!!!”, then I squeed loudly and softly and purred at heem and wished to run my feengers over his furs.
Husband brought me to my senses and dragged me sobbing from the room saying “Mee-roaw?” There were at least 5 bebehs and teencats I wanted to bring home…

33 Metz 07.22.07 at 12:20 am

Theo you could easily auction those famerous curtayns off as a fundraiser for MVHS.

34 Theo 07.22.07 at 12:37 am

Dale — OMG LOL ROFLBUDDHABUFFALOWINGS (and it made me laugh, too)

Metz — hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

YitzyMom — totally understandable. We do that too, and we *have* Rikki.

35 Shannon Johnson 07.22.07 at 12:50 am

that is one feisty cat. Wow

36 acelightning 07.22.07 at 2:23 am

I’m just glad that the two cats seem to be friends – from the way they started fist-fighting there, if they truly hated each other, there’d be kitty carnage for sure! As it is, though, they’re just *cute* (which is the point, of course).

37 Kar 07.22.07 at 2:27 am

“It’s so stimulating being your hat.”

38 ka9q's wife 07.22.07 at 3:44 am

My favorite part is Teho cracking up.

39 ka9q's wife 07.22.07 at 3:44 am

My favorite part is Teho cracking up.

40 ka9q's wife 07.22.07 at 3:44 am

My favorite part is Teho cracking up.

41 morgat 07.22.07 at 5:39 am

I’ve noticed in a couple of vids that Mr. Bounce uses his tail as a lure to ensnare teh Rikki-Kitter. When Bounce wanted Rikki off his head (I thought he was standin’ on his back, but no, is his HAID!) he twitched his tail ever so slightly, — not as a warning, but as a trap — and Rikki had to go and investigate. Voila, kitter is off haid. Mission accomplished, show fangs to retrieve honor, then exit gracefully.

42 Metz 07.22.07 at 5:50 am

Do you like my hat?
No, I do not.
Good bye.
Good Bye.

43 Kallisto 07.22.07 at 4:10 pm

Kar, great quote! Really great quote.

44 Annie 07.22.07 at 10:02 pm

Snicker.. Cat stack… so True..

45 Meg 07.22.07 at 11:03 pm

46 vasco 07.23.07 at 8:06 am

48 ThreeCatNight 07.23.07 at 2:44 pm

Sill cat: “Hey, get your butt offa my head! Kids!”
Top cat: “Hey man, get your head away from my butt!”
Sill cat: “Where were you raised? In an alleyway? Don’t you have any manners? What is it with youngsters these days? No respect for their elders!”
Top cat: “Like sorry, didn’t mean to bother you. My bad!”

49 Theo 07.23.07 at 2:46 pm

Leah B — well, he *used* to be every bit as… er, ENERGETIC as Rikki is now.
;)

50 Jessarakitty 07.23.07 at 5:23 pm

They’re practicing for the live action movie of that little-known Dr. Seuss book, the Cat As A Hat.

51 fluidstatic 07.24.07 at 6:05 am

the commentary from Dad was priceless.

“Bounce, you have far more patience than I ever thought you were…”

*smack*

“….well.”
