There are worse ways to go!

2 Desdemona 10.01.07 at 1:00 pm

OMG is right!! Gotta send this to a friend of mine who is jonesin’ for a new kitten (and who currently has 8 cats) . . . maybe this will satisfy her. Or not.

3 JuleeJulee 10.01.07 at 1:01 pm

OMG!!! I had to rear myself away in order to comment. SUCH cuteness all in one place!!! Unbearable!!!

4 JuleeJulee 10.01.07 at 1:02 pm

Oh well — I meant “TEAR myself away,” but I was in too much of a hurry to watch it again.

5 chet's momma 10.01.07 at 1:04 pm

you has a flavor! nawm nawm nawm………

6 amarie 10.01.07 at 1:04 pm

This makes me even more excited about getting a kitten in a few weeks! Hurry up and get bigger, kitty! :)

7 M. 10.01.07 at 1:10 pm

Gahh… I love how that kitty just grabbed that finger with its two paws and went namnamnam…

8 LadyMeerkat 10.01.07 at 1:10 pm

What a delish morsel of tiny kitty!

9 guttersnipe 10.01.07 at 1:10 pm

Now THAT is “barf a rainbow” cute.

omg omg omg omg I could just about kiss the screen

10 Manue 10.01.07 at 1:12 pm

beebeee kitty does not know yet if she’s left-pawed or right-pawed. Does not even know if she’s front-pawed or rear-pawed ~ she’s multipawdextrous ~haaaa!

11 Annie 10.01.07 at 1:13 pm

YOU WANT THE CUTE?

Yes

YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE CUTE!!!

HEhehe.

12 maymee 10.01.07 at 1:19 pm

I want this kitty. I need this kitty.

I DEMAND THIS KITTY.

13 Kitty 10.01.07 at 1:23 pm

my head exploded of cute.

14 Cheryl 10.01.07 at 1:26 pm

It is videos like this that make it hard for us to remain a two cat family.

15 Theo 10.01.07 at 1:29 pm

[sigh]

Yah, dat’s kitnz for ya.

16 acelightning 10.01.07 at 1:31 pm

Now, I’d put *that* adorable little Itty Bitty Kitty into my cleavage in a heartbeat! I’d just let him snuggle in the soft warm place until he falls asleep and purrs that sweet sleeping-kitten purrrrrrrrrrr…

This little sweetheart truly is an overload of cute!

17 jennifuh 10.01.07 at 1:39 pm

It’s not working! DO WANT!

18 Kinder Gentler Carrie 10.01.07 at 1:39 pm

Meg, if you see this post- you have my email… please email me?

Theo – same, either one of you.

19 Kinder Gentler Carrie 10.01.07 at 1:40 pm

well you don’t have to… but please look for my email, either of you.

20 Cal_Gal 10.01.07 at 1:45 pm

OMG! C.O.O.D… cute overload overdose… ’splode…splat!

21 Kinder Gentler Carrie 10.01.07 at 1:46 pm

ack, no edit!!! I don’t have theo’s address here at work – so it was sent to Meg only – gmail address.

22 Alex T. 10.01.07 at 1:47 pm

Showed this to my husband and roommate and they both, simultaniously went “Awwww!” And starred at the screen for the next three minutes.

23 Fuzzybutt 10.01.07 at 1:49 pm

Reminds me of when my cats were babies. Now the are old and cranky like me. :-)

24 Headscratcher 10.01.07 at 1:56 pm

Great, now I’ll get nothing done today at work. I’ll be watching this video all day long!

At least it’s a sign of a good week, to be confronted with extreme cute first thing on a Monday Morning!

Oh, and did anyone notice that the tip of that lady’s finger WAS THE SAME SIZE AS THE BEBEH’S MOUF?????? EEEEK!!!!!

25 luvinmalssomuch 10.01.07 at 2:01 pm

Why didn’t someone warn me not to watch? OMG

26 pugmamatimestwo 10.01.07 at 2:02 pm

the little bitty nom-nom-noms, that “i’m going to keeel you” paw action, omg…

**head asplode**

27 Space Cowgirl 10.01.07 at 2:08 pm

OMG. Well, I hope you’re happy, Meg – now the Internet is going to implode, create a black hole, and suck in all of existence.

Also: omgomgomgomg.

28 squidkitty 10.01.07 at 2:09 pm

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

29 Lone 10.01.07 at 2:11 pm

The definition of ’squirm’. There is no up or down, only flail.

30 moosie 10.01.07 at 2:12 pm

OMG Too cute!

31 Yitzysmommie 10.01.07 at 2:28 pm

“Can you get any cuter?”
NO!
I’m so glad I saw this before I went off to work land, where I cannot watch videos. Of course, now that my head has asploded and I have gone *THUD* and died of the Qte after barfing a rainbow, I don’t have to go to work! YAY!

32 Uilleand 10.01.07 at 2:29 pm

Dat kitteh was the King of Eeehhn..

33 Theresa 10.01.07 at 2:34 pm

Kitten Fever!!

34 Rhi 10.01.07 at 2:38 pm

Thank you, my life is now complete.

35 liz 10.01.07 at 2:45 pm

dang. it wont play for me…
boo hoo. what a crappy monday…

36 Fegli 10.01.07 at 2:46 pm

*BAM!*

Thanks… my head just essploded from kitteny goodness.

37 NihonGoose 10.01.07 at 3:00 pm

very cute, yes, but that kitten is going to think finger=toy now.

38 Tarah 10.01.07 at 3:05 pm

OMG! That is totally the cutest thing i have seen ever!
I makes me smile! it;s only 11am here and i’ve already watched it 4 times!

39 Sneezy 10.01.07 at 3:05 pm

kitteh has slayed me.
*ded*

40 LadyKat 10.01.07 at 3:07 pm

THIS has got to be the cutest video ever!! I want to play with that kitten and snuggle it!

41 Otter 10.01.07 at 3:12 pm

OMG Why didn’t I listen??? Why did I press play??? WHYYYYYYY

*Dies of cuteness*

42 Yitzysmommie 10.01.07 at 3:31 pm

OK, I’ll come in now – after I watch it one moooore time, K?

43 doomchild 10.01.07 at 3:37 pm

Noooooo!! that’s too moishe! The tongue action and the paws and the fluffitude! I’ll go snorgle my cats to near-death now.

44 Nienna 10.01.07 at 3:37 pm

-head asplodes-

I think that kitty has reached critical mass for cute.

45 Serena 10.01.07 at 3:40 pm

my mouth literally dropped open.

TOO CUTE!!

exclamations don’t do it justice.

46 Mitsu 10.01.07 at 3:40 pm

I’m so happy to see this here! I sent this in…about two hours after finding it, once I had managed to scrape myself off the floor. I had to stop watching the pinnacle of cuteness. This video really is dangerous!

47 Serena 10.01.07 at 3:40 pm

by “exclamations” i meant “exclamation points”

48 Serena 10.01.07 at 3:42 pm

I can’t get over it. The kitty is so tiny!

49 lurkingsmirk 10.01.07 at 3:47 pm

I am utterly transfixed by the little kitty belleh. SO CUTE!

50 Kara 10.01.07 at 3:49 pm

I love how the video stops just after the lady says ‘Can you get any cuter?’ Clearly the answer was YES because the cameraman DIED.

51 chanpon 10.01.07 at 4:00 pm

OH…….MY…….GOD.
Send that kitty over to Iraq and Myanmar, or wherever there’s disagreement and discord. That kitten will stop wars!

52 Welshcake 10.01.07 at 4:07 pm

I wish to complain.

This video is not long enough.

53 Argentee 10.01.07 at 4:16 pm

I need to force my hubby to watch this video until his head esplodes or he GETS ME A KITTEH! *sniff* I wanna kitteh sooo bad….

54 LuvBJones 10.01.07 at 4:18 pm

No, my boss won’t be calling you. The FBI will be calling you, asking why I’m slumped dead over my keyboard with cute-force trauma to the bean!

55 Furbabies 10.01.07 at 4:18 pm

I couldn’t help myself, I had to watch. Too…sweet…falling…!

56 pana 10.01.07 at 4:32 pm

Is this on Youtube? I can’t see it because my work blocks Collegehomor.com
If so, please post the link.

Kai thanks!

57 Wincey 10.01.07 at 4:33 pm

Ack! The only problem I have with this video is that it’s not long enough. I’m forced to watch it over and over …

58 Wendy 10.01.07 at 4:38 pm

Yes, that is adorable.

But

NO

WAY

is that cuter than that tiny howling puppy from a couple of weeks ago. That one I just CAN NOT STOP going back to!

59 Jennifer 10.01.07 at 4:47 pm

And now for your moment of Zen.

60 Pheas 10.01.07 at 5:02 pm

KG Carrie and Argentee — You might like to try what I do that has helped me resist getting more kittehs and puppehs. I volunteer with a group that hosts adoption fairs at our local Petsmarts and Petcos. That way several times a month I get to play with sweet fuzzballs. It’s not the same as having one at home, but it’s a guaranteed face-to-muzzlepuff cute overload everytime.

61 Cain 10.01.07 at 5:07 pm

He’s just so impossibly tiny!

62 Kinder Gentler Carrie 10.01.07 at 5:08 pm

that would make me too said Pheas – leaving them there or if they were sick or something.

i wish meg would answer my email, just this one silly time – it’s kind of importantish.

63 liz 10.01.07 at 5:27 pm

gee
someone throw me a bond her or somethin.
is there a link or something where i could see the video?
i’m feelin all left out of the loop, since it wont play for me.
(yes I AM whining)

64 Annie 10.01.07 at 5:27 pm

KGCarrie in the meantime is there something we who are here can help you with?

65 Pheas 10.01.07 at 5:39 pm

Carrie, groups differ, of course. In ours, the animals are all in foster care in the homes of animal lovers. They get plenty of attention and are healthy and happy and need nothing but a forever home. Helping them get there is extremely rewarding.

I can see what you are saying — that’s why I haven’t volunteered at the local animal control. Sad.

66 charliewabba 10.01.07 at 5:40 pm

Ow. Ow. OH, ow. Ow.
I can’t see, everthing has gone blurry before me. I’m dizzy.
Ow. My teeth hurt.

67 Juniper Jupiter 10.01.07 at 5:40 pm

OMG!!! TEEVING KITLING!!!! SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!

CUTE CUTE CUTE!!!!! ELEVENTY ONE!!!111!!!!!!!11!!!!!

68 Decca 10.01.07 at 5:40 pm

Now if only I had some ugly crochet bag thing to carry this little bundle of cuteness around with me. Hey…wait…

69 Debbie Downer 10.01.07 at 5:42 pm

This kitten was actually born retarded and died a few hours after this was taken I believe.

70 ThreeCatNight 10.01.07 at 5:46 pm

Too much! I must curtail my urge to always nuzzle and kiss an adorable, soft kitten belleh (even on screen).

BTW – Just WHO here was born retarded, Debbie?

71 JuliaJellicoe 10.01.07 at 5:51 pm

Aw, it’s so eensy-beensy!

72 liz 10.01.07 at 5:54 pm

OMG
Debbie Downer.
I actually went to jr hi with a nasty _itch named D.Downer.
she and her friends were the meanest bunch of nasty girls i have ever met.
no wonder you’re so depressed now.

73 Yubi Shines 10.01.07 at 5:55 pm

I could upload it on YouTube if anyone wants? (I’m not the sender-in or video-taker, btw.)

74 Yubi Shines 10.01.07 at 5:57 pm

Uh oh. I went poking around on YouTube and watching Winston videos when I came across this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIkz6gU9rvw

Damn it.

75 berthaslave 10.01.07 at 6:08 pm

To the “Cuteologists”:

I represent the interests of one Berthaslave, a regular here in these parts for the last few weeks.

I am sorry to inform you that Mr. Berthaslave was discovered in a puddle of his own squee this morning, with this video playing on his computer monitor. At this point, he continues to say WANT KITTEH in a loud, shrill, oddly feminine voice, and is trying to convince his own cat Bertha to revert to her “kittenhood” and start playing with his finger.

He will be unable to participate in your discussion for some time until we bring him back down to earth by forcing him to read cnn.com, look at uglyoverload and watch a highlight reel of the New York Mets’ September.

76 Yitzysmommie 10.01.07 at 6:20 pm

DANG – that’s stherious, berthaslave’s rep!
May I suggest watching also reading the NY Times or the Wall Street Journal to restore Mr BS from his puddle of squee?

77 Yitzysmommie 10.01.07 at 6:21 pm

Having nasty kitten video withdrawals here at work, BTW. Only traffic and homeless people outside my window to distract me, and that AIN’T workin’!

78 Koalas Forever 10.01.07 at 6:33 pm

Arrrggg my work computer is old and clunky and the video isn’t showing up!!! It must be so cute that it short-circuited the whole system ;) Can’t wait to get home and finally see it for myself!

79 Kinder Gentler Carrie 10.01.07 at 6:33 pm

well now Meg doesn’t have to get a hold of me – nor theo –

dammit – Yubi – I don’t think that should have been posted at all. That’s what I wanted to talk to them about.

80 debkakes 10.01.07 at 6:38 pm

Sweet cute kitteh, I’m glad it got all the lovin’ it could in its very short life….see Debbie Downer above.

81 Yitzysmommie 10.01.07 at 6:44 pm

(Hands over eyes)
LALALALALALALALA
I will NOT pay attenshuns to DD or what Yubi posted or debkakes or any other mellow harshing info. To me, the kitting live forever in the lady’s lap, playing and playing and noming on her finger.
That is all. You may recommence YOUR reality.

82 Chris B. 10.01.07 at 6:49 pm

My kitty is 1.5 years old and still acts like this everyday.

83 Annie 10.01.07 at 6:56 pm

It’s okay Carrie. That video is still adorable. and life happens, sometimes it is sad, but for this video captured moment in time, life was good for this adorable kitten.

84 Kinder Gentler Carrie 10.01.07 at 7:40 pm

i wanted to protect all the cuteologists here from the harsh reality of life. :( I saw this video 2 weeks ago and it has haunted me every day since then.

85 AuntieMame 10.01.07 at 7:55 pm

Aww, it’s sad, but that doesn’t make kitteh any less cute. To be honest, I’d rather have cute to help soften the harshness of life than to try (in vain) to hide from it.

86 Annie 10.01.07 at 8:03 pm

Okay I am officially up to 10 views of this video. I cannot watch it enough and it is seriously making my day much better.
Oh and Carrie Happy Birthday.

87 Theo 10.01.07 at 8:04 pm

KG Carrie — I *did* try to email you, at the yahoo.com address you’ve attached to your comments (not displayed to the public).

For the record, I agree with Annie & AuntieMame. We’ve all got our mortality.

88 Kinder Gentler Carrie 10.01.07 at 8:15 pm

oooooo weird How does Annie know my birthday is coming up? I’m kinda freaked by that.

I can’t access yahoo from work, i’m on a .mil address here.

89 my cat is a blob 10.01.07 at 8:18 pm

oh my goodness.
most preshuss kitty!

90 Annie 10.01.07 at 8:20 pm

KGCarrie some one said on one of the other posts today. Can’t remember which one. maybe the marmalade kitty or maybe not that one.

91 Metz 10.01.07 at 8:20 pm

KG Carrie, I think you had mentioned it on a previous posting taht your birthday was coming up.

92 Kinder Gentler Carrie 10.01.07 at 8:23 pm

oh duh – i forget what I say here

perhaps i was bleening for someone to send me a kitten? bleen bleen bleen

93 Tarah 10.01.07 at 8:27 pm

I kennot stop watching tey kyooty kitteh! My head asplodes each time!

94 Omi-san 10.01.07 at 8:32 pm

The kitty’s cuteness is cancelled by the nastiness of those cadaver like orange nails.

95 Alexis 10.01.07 at 9:01 pm

Holy crap, that is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen on this site.

And let me tell you, I’ve been around a while and this site has some cute stuff on it.

Wow. Wow, wow, wow.

96 Dagger 10.01.07 at 9:04 pm

-said in Yoda voice- right were you. Handle it I cannot. Too cute it is. Hug kitten too much I must!

97 Dagger 10.01.07 at 9:05 pm

i think it’s possible that if you watch this video every day all day you will die from your head over-loading with his little-ness

98 cyberpunkgrrl 10.01.07 at 9:17 pm

I don’t think I’ve ever posted on here, despite being an avid reader, but this was too adorable to pass up… Just what I needed :D

99 jernobyl 10.01.07 at 9:43 pm

OMG. Too cute. MAKE IT STOP.

100 DL 10.01.07 at 10:04 pm

*squeals* Aww, *baby talk* kitty witty smoochy poochy. Makes me want to run out to my local humane society and get a kitty witty smoochy poochy. Hehe.

101 snoopysnake 10.01.07 at 10:24 pm

EYE WHAHNT THET KITTEH!

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

102 my cat is a blob 10.01.07 at 11:12 pm

This kitten is the platonic ideal of a kitten.
This reminds me of another short perfect kitten video
“the tiniest mew.”

103 Eater of Shades 10.01.07 at 11:14 pm

*giggle*
*nosepoke*
o no cute O.D.,
what a way to go!
Thunk
*purrrrr*

104 Mad Molly Malone 10.01.07 at 11:16 pm

Tickle tickle tickle. Eep! Chomp! Tickle tickle. Chomp! Num num num.
T I C K L E ! ! !
Tickle.
I’m sorry the kitten had to die… but he is up in heaven now, being squee’d at by the angels. I hope he likes it there and all his brothers and sisters have their own fingers to nom.

105 Amber 10.02.07 at 12:29 am

Boo.
Why is it always the cutest ones that don’t make it?
I had an adorableness myself a couple years ago with Fading Kitten Syndrome. That sucked. :(

It’s still all *squeal* *hyperventilate* and such.

106 Yubi Shines 10.02.07 at 12:34 am

Sorry, Carrie (and hell, sorry, *self* — it’s hours after I found the youtube link and I’m still bummed). If I’d known that was what you were referring to I wouldn’t have posted it.

107 Tony James 10.02.07 at 12:46 am

Now hear this, now hear this. This is not a drill.

All personnel are advised that Full Screen Mode must not, repeat not, under any circumstances, be activated for this video, especially if you are at work and your PC is hooked up to the 60″ plasma screens in the conference room and you switch to the “Aux Display” function, so that the sound comes out of the most high-def speaker systems that money can buy.
Any personnel who contravene this order will be summarily court martialled with immediate and permanent loss of snorgling privileges.

That is all.

108 CCat 10.02.07 at 12:49 am

OMG! Squirmy kitteny nawmage! teeny weeny paws! White kitten belly! Teeny soft wittle kitty! SQUEEEEEEEEE! So coot! Squeeeee!

Okay, sorry, I’m done now. At least until next time I watch this, anyway. ;)

109 CCat 10.02.07 at 12:55 am

Oh no, the kitten died? That’s so sad :(

But still, it happens… at least it wasn’t a long and painful death. When you work in a cat shelter you start to get used to sick cats and what happens to them (and before the nuffers pounce all over me, it’s a no-kill shelter!). He’s getting tummy-tickled in kitty heaven now.

110 cassandra 10.02.07 at 1:50 am

oh. my. GAAAWWWWWDDDD!!!!!!! I just died of cuteness. I have been sitting in a classroom all day only to come home and watch my bf play halo for two hours so that TOTALLY made my day!!!!!!!@!!

111 caris 10.02.07 at 1:55 am

hahaha, you can see him licking his paw and going “i has a flavor” then licking her finger and saying “you has a betta flavor” [NAWM NAWM]

112 Longtail 10.02.07 at 2:03 am

OMG I’m stuck talking like I’m on helium and squealing! The cute! I can’t take it!

Oh god, need a kitten fix STAT!

113 Courtney 10.02.07 at 2:20 am

Wow… so right on the commentary. *dies from cute overload*

114 Mrs.Fonebone 10.02.07 at 2:48 am

Off the scale in cute.
I call B.S. on the YouTube poster (“smeared makeup”)–if what she said is true, and she named the video that, she’s the coldest freak in the world. Her vids on her page have worse titles. Obviously an attention hound.There are freaks like that on the ‘tube, alas.

115 Theo 10.02.07 at 3:01 am

Mrs. Fonebone has a point. Could very easily be a hoax… it *has* happened before on CO, too. It’s definitely not common, but we do tend to get suckered in pretty easily by folks who are only faking grief. Meanwhile, the troll’s busting a gut at its keyboard the whole time.
Alone.
Unloved.
Unloveable.
In a basement.
And since we’re sharing, pretty smelly, too. Would a shower kill ya? Man.

116 frappygoddess 10.02.07 at 3:26 am

Mrs.Fonebone – I think that is a really harsh judgement, and totally uncalled for. If you actually bothered to read the commentary on the videos, you’d find out that she volunteers at a shelter and helps foster kitties like the wee kitten in this redonkulous video. Very sadly, it is NOT a “no-kill” shelter, and several of her cute vids have some very upsetting backstories. Obviously, one has to be tough to work in that sort of environment – how would you feel if you took care of animals that you knew would probably be destroyed? My aunt volunteers at and partially runs a non-profit shelter in rural Kentucky; she is the sweetest person you will ever meet, but even she’s become slightly hardened because of all the heartbreaking things she sees every day. Witnessing the terrible things people do to animals and being helpless to prevent animals from being put-down has a way of doing that to you. Next time make sure you have all the facts before you criticize someone like that.

Honestly, I’m amazed at all the good work this woman is doing, as well as with the fact that she keeps on doing it even after seeing some not-so-happy endings. That takes a really special kind of person, and would that there were more of her kind in this world.

117 frappygoddess 10.02.07 at 3:32 am

*sighs* And I really didn’t mean to emotionally vomit like that. Sorry peeps, it’s been a long and unnecessarily cruel day. Let’s just say this video was the first thing that’s made me cry today.

With all due respect, Sir Theo, I don’t think it’s a hoax – I’ve checked out the other videos in her repertoire, and they seem pretty genuine. Seems she fosters kits the same as you (though I haven’t spotted a lovely Rikki kitten yet).

118 frappygoddess 10.02.07 at 3:39 am

Er…that should be “wasn’t the first thing”. *holds hands behind her back and whistles* Nothing to see here.

119 lurkertype 10.02.07 at 4:44 am

KITN!!!

KITN!!!

121 lurkertype 10.02.07 at 4:46 am

sorry, posting error.

But it is worth repeating, like Meg said.

122 megusmaximus 10.02.07 at 5:16 am

On the subject of shelters, volunteering, it being sad, etc.:

I always thought I could never volunteer at a shelter because it would be too heartbreaking. But I read an article at the Louisiana SPCA’s web site (link below) and it changed my mind and I started volunteering there while I lived in New Orleans. It essentially says, “If you think you can’t do it, then you’re exactly the person who should.” Nobody will care more, and those are exactly the people these animals need.

You can do it – you’ll be surprised at how much strength you have. And once you see what an amazing impact you have on the animal’s lives, you’ll find it in you to go back again, no matter how much it hurts.

Will your heart be broken? Yep.

Will you cry? Yep.

Will you find yourself enraged at what humans can do to animals? Yep.

Is it worth it? You bet.

123 mrs fonebone 10.02.07 at 10:41 am

Hi, frappy–if you had read my post, you’d know I had been to her ‘tube page. And please don’t believe everything people say on their pages. If you looked, then you must have seen that she was some extremely inappropriately titled videos–referring to sick kitties as “Shaved (blanks)” in the titles. Classy. And even if she works there, maybe it’s for all the wrong reasons–there’s something just cold with her title “retarded” kitten, which she defended in the comments. And her diagnosis about head flopping sometimes–details, please? Anyway, not a lot of compassion there. I called BS on her YouTube page to her face before I posted here. So she can take me to task if she wants to. And speaking of rants, you don’t know a thing about me either. Like how many kittens I’ve fostered or sick ones I’ve lost. Practice what you preach there, frappy.

Nice…hungry kitten that wants its mum’s milk gets taped instead…great!

125 Jaye 10.02.07 at 1:12 pm

Can’t we just enjoy an adorable kitten video for what it is, a moment of sublime cuteness? Do we really need to psychoanalyze the videographer or make wild suppositions about her based on the titles of her YouTube videos? Yeah, she seems to have a juvenile sense of humor, but if that were a crime, half of the CO commenters would be locked up.

And if the kitten had a sad fate later, that’s a shame; but every animal featured on CO has a death awaiting it (heck, so do we). It’s OK to still enjoy seeing the little guy’s moment of happiness and perfect cuteness.

126 Mrs Fonebone 10.02.07 at 1:24 pm

Jaye, I agree with you 100%. Nobody needed a troll like Debbie Downer to ruin what everyone was enjoying. Of course we all know about death here but that is not what CO is about. CO is about celebrating life and joy and cute.

127 Carrie 10.02.07 at 1:37 pm

This is what I was trying so desperately to protect everyone from yesterday – honest!

I had seen the vid, and it has bothered me ever since, but then someone had to come along and post it. I tried to alert the authorities (Teho and Meg) so they might be able to delete links to the video before too many people had to see it.

In the meantime – I’ve decided that we all need to decide what we posters should be called – I’ve thought of 2 names
“Loaders” or “Cuties”

Which does everyone else like?

128 jolie_rouge 10.02.07 at 4:06 pm

Me and my roomate can’t get this video to play. wtf?

129 Subhangi 10.02.07 at 4:10 pm

Ok people, lets look at this from another perspective.

Forget the videographer and the backstory. I ask everyone of you here: which of you does NOT wish to be remembered like this kitten – as someone adorably cute, who brought joy to everyone to and just wanted to be loved in return?

This kitten made us smile, and fortunately, that’s how all of us will remember it. Too bad we can’t say the same for ourselves. I’d count myself as darned lucky (and obviously, undeserving) if this is how people remember ME when I’m gone.

I’m fine, I’m not depressed or anything. All I’m saying is, please, just appreciate the kitten for its cuteness, wherever it is.

130 Subhangi 10.02.07 at 4:18 pm

Guh … Jaye said it better than I did.

131 Jaye 10.02.07 at 4:33 pm

Carrie, your heart was in the right place–but the web is infinitely cross-linked. Information wants to be free. You can’t play nursemaid to the world.

“Loaders” sounds like another term for “stoners” to me! LOL. Or maybe some kind of industrial-strength dump truck.

132 marsheeeee 10.02.07 at 4:34 pm

Regardless of what happened to this adorable little ball of fluff, he’s made my ordinarily sucky days a little brighter and my compassion a little deeper. I’m sorry if he died, but I like to think of him in God’s arms being loved on and making Heaven a little brighter by his presence.

133 Theo 10.02.07 at 4:46 pm

OMG, did my *wife* just say “information wants to be free”!??

LOL… Schmoop, we gotta fight the powers that be! [record scratch]

134 Carrie 10.02.07 at 5:40 pm

Teho? You have a *wife*?

Who gnu?

135 CatIsKing 10.02.07 at 5:47 pm

I can’t view the video, can someone please send me a link to it?

136 Theo 10.02.07 at 6:16 pm

Carrie — we did, for two.

137 Annie 10.02.07 at 6:27 pm

Sigh… I love this video. KGCarrie for what ever it is worth it was kind of you to think of everyone. But really I would rather have seen this video than missed it.
It really made my day yesterday a better day.

I think I have watched it like 20 times at least. I keep clicking on it.

The real joy is looking at this kittens bright eyed face and seeing it happily getting tickled and loved.
In a world where sometimes everything is ugly a little sunshine makes everyones day feel better.
And that is why most of us come to CO to see something cute or funny to make our day a little happier.

138 Pheas 10.02.07 at 9:39 pm

I thought we already had a name — Peeps.

139 Coco 10.02.07 at 10:09 pm

I’m starting a 12 step program.

Are you ready to submit yourself to a Higher Kitteh?

140 Karen 10.03.07 at 12:32 am

Oh my god, too sweet! I could just watch this again and again!

141 gail white 10.03.07 at 12:47 am

My kitteh looked just like this when she was little.
We couldn’t resist her, naturally, and she’s ours 7 years later.

142 Rosie 10.03.07 at 3:18 am

143 Barbarella 10.03.07 at 8:18 am

145 I love little ones 10.03.07 at 9:26 am

146 Lizzy 10.03.07 at 3:17 pm

I have a problem….. I get my friends and family kittens, so I can go to their house and play with them. : /
This is my favorite age!!!!!!!!
Why are they so cute?!?!!!

147 Karen in Toronto 10.03.07 at 3:40 pm

How come I can never see these vids from CollegeHumo(u)r?

148 Jennifer J 10.04.07 at 12:20 am

I have been a lurker here for along time, But I have to say I love the site, and I had to comment.
So cute….so little….ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!
This video was excataly what I needed. :)

149 tablemountaingirl 10.04.07 at 3:05 am

Hi guys. I just thought this was the cutest teeniest kitten, even after reading the backstory.

Not wanting to add to the commentroversy…but my mom would’ve thought this little kitten was the cutest bebeh kitteh evar. Mom died about a month ago, so it makes me happy to think that she and the kitten are happily snorggling and playing together.

150 Whitney 10.04.07 at 6:33 am

GIVE ME THAT KITTY!

My goodness, I think I was just hit in the face with cute.

151 Whitney 10.05.07 at 5:27 am

Dang it…I really hope that is just a hoax.

152 Mia 10.09.07 at 9:51 pm

How does Debbie known it was born retarded? Not a lot of people seem to be skeptical of what they’re told. I still have hope for this little baby.
