by Meg on September 28, 2007

People, this is Carlos Muffin, an exotic shorthair, just like Winston the kitteh. You may remember Señor Muffin from his first pic on C.O. where he almost keelled his owner for dressing him up. He obvy has infinite patience.

I have to admit…I much prefer a full-faced kitty to the flat-faced version. Give me snoot, or give me death!

A perfect picture for Halloween!

7 chanpon 09.28.07 at 1:30 pm

Wow, he has a perfect face for Halloween (and I mean that in a good way)! Black cat, deep orange eyes, little pumpkin shaped head,..love it!

8 Space Cowgirl 09.28.07 at 1:32 pm

Ooh, he looks like an especially portly Halloween sprite. Also reminds me of this for some reason:

I lurf the flat faced kittehs! I fink dey kyoot!

10 mariaS 09.28.07 at 1:38 pm

awwww! It reminds me of the black cat that crossed my path the other day! A GOOD luck sign, in my opinion! Any kitty sighting just has to be good! How many ‘puters will be wallpapered with this cutie’s face for the month of October?

11 luvinmalssomuch 09.28.07 at 1:52 pm

Skeeeeeery!

12 IHaveFurryChildren 09.28.07 at 1:54 pm

mariaS, that’s a great idea. Just saved him to my desktop.

13 Claire 09.28.07 at 1:55 pm

I luvs repeats submishes! I love keeping up on my CO celebs. XO.

14 The Hon Gladys Anstruther 09.28.07 at 1:58 pm

Kitty: Madam I am sorry to inform you that not only is your painting not from the late Dutch school, it was produced on a assembly line in China!

15 Jacki14 09.28.07 at 2:09 pm

I love that his eyes match the roses in the painting.

16 jen 09.28.07 at 2:11 pm

17 kk3 09.28.07 at 2:14 pm

The Hon Gladys Anstruther, and colored with LEAD paint….oh my!

18 Pat 09.28.07 at 2:17 pm

Senior Muffins, You can come and live with me. I promise never to put close on you and worship you for the handsome cat you are.

19 mara 09.28.07 at 2:20 pm

Carlos the kitteh…

I could sing that all day!

20 Kara 09.28.07 at 2:22 pm

A CHALLENGER APPEARS!!!!

21 book_monstercats 09.28.07 at 2:25 pm

Good grief, what AMAZING eyes. My late marmalade girl had eyes that matched her orange coat, and I could look at them all day (and often did, at least when she was awake) but they never hypnotised me like Senor CM’s would. Thank goodness he’s not at home with me (tries to convice self).

22 Kris 09.28.07 at 2:30 pm

He is the PERFECT halloween cat.

23 ShelleyTambo 09.28.07 at 2:38 pm

The vet techs at my vet’s office call my kitty “Halloween cat” because she’s all black with yellow eyes–one of which has a big brown blob in it (see the icon at http://www.flickr.com/photos/shelleytambo). And her annual appointment is in October. But I think Mr. Carlos Muffins here beats my kitteh as “Halloween cat” any day.

24 ThreeCatNight 09.28.07 at 2:38 pm

Senor Muffin:
“Impudent, inferior humans!
You dare to look at me! Just one shot from my fiery eyes, and you will be in my power! On Halloween, I shall rule! He, he, he!”

Human Voice: “Muffin, come get your dinner!”

Senor Muffin: “Uh, okay. Coming!”

25 little gator 09.28.07 at 2:42 pm

Silly me. I thought Winston was a shaved Himalayan. Is there a special name for colorpoint Exoitc Shorthairs?

26 Manda 09.28.07 at 2:56 pm

God he’s gorgeous. I want one of these now almost as bad as I wants a Scottish Fold…

Not ’nuffin at all, but are his pupils a bit clouded? I would hate to think Señor was getting glaucoma…otherwise, yes indeed. The perfect Halloween Cat! And Muffin describes his little feets perfectly…

Set:
Interior parlor room of Victorian, closed blinds, antiquated overstuffed furniture.

Host:
Welcome Mr. Carlos Muffin. We’ve been expecting you. Right this way to your private room. Natasha here will see to your every need.

Action:
Door closes quietly and Mr. Muffin’s eyes turn toward Natasha

28 miu 09.28.07 at 3:12 pm

That is not a cat. That is 48 knives poorly hidden in black velvet.

29 Theo 09.28.07 at 3:31 pm

Mari, Miu, you may have the conference room all day. I’ll see to it that you are not disturbed, that your lunch is catered and any supplies you need are provided. Researchers & fact-checkers are on call.
Now: WRITE!

30 Miss Ruth 09.28.07 at 3:38 pm

That’s one stern looking kitty!

31 michellemybelle 09.28.07 at 3:57 pm

I love Senor Muffin! It’s nice to see him here in fall, since it’s clearly his season.

32 Argentee 09.28.07 at 4:05 pm

He looks so adorably Evil. If he could talk, I bet he would sound just like Anthony Hopkins. I can almost hear him. “Hello, Clarisse…”

33 Kinder, Gentler Carrie 09.28.07 at 4:13 pm

ooooooooooo he’s purty

I’m not a smooshed face lover either – but I can see that they do have potential at being adorabuhls

34 NYgirly 09.28.07 at 4:14 pm

what is it about a pissy-faced kitteh?

im gonna hughimandkisshimandcallhimcarlos

35 Rae 09.28.07 at 4:25 pm

omg i just have an urge to superimpose a bonnet on his head LOL

36 Pheas 09.28.07 at 4:29 pm

Rae, do EET!

37 my cat is a glob 09.28.07 at 4:32 pm

The paws! Those fat little paws! And that evil evil little face!

38 Wan 09.28.07 at 4:51 pm

Hahah! He’s like a reverse jackolatern face!

39 diana 09.28.07 at 4:59 pm

I am Carlos M’s companion, Diana.

Don’t worry Manda, he doesn’t have glaucoma, I just had the flash on super high when I took this photo. :o ). It’s all good!!

Thanks, Meg for posting him!

40 pyrit 09.28.07 at 5:06 pm

Boo.

41 terrytoons 09.28.07 at 5:12 pm

hey! i know this cat! (and obviously, his human).

he’s anerable, truly.

42 Persephone 09.28.07 at 5:17 pm

Cat Fanciers Association says that “exotic shorthairs have a quiet and endearing demeanor. Their voices are seldom heard.” Guess they haven’t met Winston! :)

43 lurkingsmirk 09.28.07 at 5:30 pm

Good lord, I have this ridiculous urge to pinch his cheeks…but then it would be the last thing I ever did.

44 Manda 09.28.07 at 5:35 pm

Thanks diana, so glad he’s gorgeous AND healthy – thanks for sharing! Is he as mouthy as Winston? I bet he does a mean pouty-face too…

45 Kathy 09.28.07 at 7:05 pm

Now that’s a cat meant for Halloween if I’ve ever seen one!!

Meow!

46 Rachel (Average Jane Crafter) 09.28.07 at 7:13 pm

Is it just me, or does he look like Dwight Schrute on The Office?

No? Just me?

ok then.

47 berthaslave 09.28.07 at 7:16 pm

Truman Capote?

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/TrumanCapote1959.jpg/498px-TrumanCapote1959.jpg

Eugene Pallette?

http://www.mymovies.it/filmclub/attori/6059.jpg

Maybe a dash of Peter Lorre?

http://www.natfilm.dk/2006small/Peter_Lorre.jpg

Regardless, I think he’s just upset for being saddled with the surname “Muffin.” “Carlos Rathsburgsten” was probably available, but no, someone had to go with “Muffin.”

48 ellenbrenna 09.28.07 at 7:23 pm

Actually bertha I was thinking more Orson Welles.

49 berthaslave 09.28.07 at 7:27 pm

Good call ellenbrenna, though Welles never really seemed “evil” to me (although tell that to the main characters in “Heavenly Creatures”). I bet there’s a still of Welles as Harry Lime that looks like this pic.

And Rachel — great call on Dwight (Rainn Wilson), too, particularly that snooty “I see what you’re doing and I disapprove” kind of way!)

50 Kat 09.28.07 at 8:53 pm

I think these exotic shorthairs do a great impression of the old ‘Dissaproving bunny’. I think ‘dissaproving kitties’ might be a new theme ^_^

51 Theresa 09.28.07 at 10:48 pm

Shouldn’t that be Senor Carlos “Stud” Muffin?

52 fawn lust 09.29.07 at 5:02 am

what a great face!

53 Kyte 09.29.07 at 8:31 am

and i thought MY persian had a pissy glare…..eek…

54 anomalous4 09.29.07 at 3:53 pm

“48 knives poorly hidden in black velvet”

55 thetruth 09.30.07 at 12:19 am

56 Anne 09.30.07 at 12:23 am

I would not turn my back on this little guy! He looks like he loves to play tricks, attack when you aren’t looking, etc.

57 Dexaan 10.01.07 at 3:13 am

Owlcat is not amused.

58 Subhangi 10.02.07 at 10:38 am

LOL! He’s a perfect cartoon cat!

59 ZF 10.18.07 at 1:57 am

60 Heather 10.23.07 at 5:28 pm
