5 Golden 10.05.07 at 5:57 pm

Sooooooo marshmallowie..

6 Erica 10.05.07 at 5:58 pm

So, would a (st)rolling Marmie gather no moss?

7 Tony James 10.05.07 at 5:58 pm

Posted by Teh-0? Hmmmm…does Senor Boonce know that he’s ogling OTHER MARMIE paws?

8 StormCat 10.05.07 at 6:01 pm

KITTY FEETS!!!! Thank you… I’m having a lousy day and this just perked me right up… I’ll have to use this as a background ’cause garsh darn it, there just ain’t nuttin’ like Marmie feet and moss!!!

9 katerpie 10.05.07 at 6:03 pm

Once again my viewing of these delish toesies is interrupted by some idiot who can’t grasp the concept of why BLEEN is not a good thing.

*grumble grumbl*

10 rpennefe 10.05.07 at 6:03 pm

nawm, nawm, nawm…

What? You know that you want a nibble, too

11 Theo 10.05.07 at 6:04 pm

LOL, Teej and Erica.

12 Kiragirl 10.05.07 at 6:06 pm

Theo,
what is it? (other than Kyoot of course)

13 zeldapie 10.05.07 at 6:12 pm

Cool! If you look at it long enough, it appears that a GIGANTIC cat stepping on a forest! Marmie the GargantuKitteh!

14 berthaslave 10.05.07 at 6:12 pm

zee giant kitteh, eet eez attackink zee forest…run for zee hills…..

(not sure why I heard that in a French accent)

15 Theo 10.05.07 at 6:14 pm

Sorry, KG, but what is *what*? I mean, it’s a paw on moss…?

16 Kiragirl 10.05.07 at 6:14 pm

what kind of kitteh? (at first I thought it was a pupster)

17 Theo 10.05.07 at 6:16 pm

Ah OK. Follow the Flickr link at the bottom; all will become clear.

18 Indy's Mom 10.05.07 at 6:16 pm

Amazing photo! The simultaneous similarity and contrast in textures is blowing my mental circuits.

19 Ohlookachicken 10.05.07 at 6:16 pm

How pretty. Oh toes, how cute. How pretty, eeek toes, how cute…urg.

20 Claire 10.05.07 at 6:17 pm

OR, it’s a giant aquatic monster kittie marching through the undersea coral kelp forests…

21 newlee 10.05.07 at 6:28 pm

i was thinking gulliver kitty trampling lilliputian village.

22 Gadren 10.05.07 at 6:29 pm

OHNOES! A giant kitty is squishing green Tribbles!

23 Furbabies 10.05.07 at 6:36 pm

Wow! I would love to have an enlarged print of this photo to hang in my family room. This is so artsy. Love it.

24 estella 10.05.07 at 6:39 pm

So there I was, strolling through the groves of trees, enjoying the fresh air, when…OHMYGOD GIANT FLUFFY TOES DESCENDING ON ME EEEEEEEEEK!!!

What a flufftacular way to be tromped to death. nom nom

25 Daniel 10.05.07 at 6:42 pm

Holy s__t it’s Fluffzilla!

26 bugmom 10.05.07 at 6:46 pm

The orange ones….I tell ya!

27 chanpon 10.05.07 at 6:48 pm

Kitty toes!! I’d nibble but they usually smell like corn chips and I don’t like corn chips. I’ll just admire from afar.

28 Kiragirl 10.05.07 at 6:49 pm

Oh Gadren–a trek-geek too?
the trouble with green tribbles is that they are soft and squishy for kittehs toz.

29 luvinmalssomuch 10.05.07 at 6:53 pm

Is that Paul Bunyuns kitty.
Soft mossy paws are cute.

30 skippy 10.05.07 at 6:54 pm

i like how the stripes make the kitteh’s legs look chubbular.

and champon, you’re right about the corn chip smell. what’s up with that? i personally prefer corn-chip smelling kitteh toes to actual corn chips.

31 lurkertype 10.05.07 at 6:55 pm

It’s not just A paw, it’s also portions of other paws! Bonus!

It’s marmtastic.

32 Peter 10.05.07 at 6:57 pm

That sure doesn’t look like a marmoset paw to me.

33 Theo 10.05.07 at 7:01 pm

Peter – [SNORK!]

OK, added a Glossary link.

34 luvinmalssomuch 10.05.07 at 7:10 pm

What the heck is ZEN?

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen ... call it artistic license - Ed.]

35 Michelle 10.05.07 at 7:11 pm

Heavy sigh. Theo, you sure know how to make a girl feel all squidgy and melty.

<3 this pic so much

36 Theo 10.05.07 at 7:18 pm

Michelle — I don’t suppose you’d be up for animating an RCF-style HoverPaw™…?
http://www.fly-by-night.net/bunbun_3.gif
(or, y’know, I suppose there’s always *new* ideas)

37 luvinmalssomuch 10.05.07 at 7:24 pm

Thanks Ed. That clears up alot. So this particular cat practices buddhism. That ’splains it.

38 Theo 10.05.07 at 7:25 pm

Waddya want?? It’s Friday!

39 luvinmalssomuch 10.05.07 at 7:27 pm

LOL Theo. Can I get a ticket to ride on the flying bun express?

40 Theo 10.05.07 at 7:28 pm

You’d have to check w/Michelle.

41 luvinmalssomuch 10.05.07 at 7:31 pm

What do you say Michelle? Theo said I have to check with you to get a 1st class ticket on the flying bun.

42 harper 10.05.07 at 7:31 pm

quite possibly THE CUTEST post yet. it made me gasp and turn away…

43 jen 10.05.07 at 7:31 pm

good lord
i have reached nirvana
thank you co

44 Annie 10.05.07 at 7:39 pm

This looks like the next to the last thing a mouse sees!

45 RJ 10.05.07 at 7:41 pm

Ahn! Creamsicle toes!

46 AuntieMame 10.05.07 at 7:41 pm

Zen ees not now. Eet ees zee latair!

(And if I had a dirty mind, I would say that Marmie-kitteh is flipping us the upside bird…)

47 Theo 10.05.07 at 7:41 pm

Oh, perish the THOUGHT.
[fans self]

48 TFMS 10.05.07 at 7:42 pm

Namastey kitty, Namestey.

49 suzanne 10.05.07 at 7:44 pm

Is it just me or does it look like Marmie’s giving us the finger? Must be me.

50 JT 10.05.07 at 7:54 pm

hahahaha suzanne, I’m so glad I’m not the only one. That’s the first thing I thought.

Still cute, tho’…

51 Annie 10.05.07 at 8:20 pm

creamsicle paws Forrrevvvverrrrr!

52 Chicka 10.05.07 at 8:26 pm

Perhaps I’m cynical, but I feel like I’m getting the bird…erm…the finger…erm…the cat paw – ever so slightly.

Oh nevermind.

53 Sandra 10.05.07 at 8:35 pm

Sweet marmie kitty wouldn’t flip anyone off…she’s, ah… crossing her toes, yeah, that’s what she’s doing (glancing side to side)

54 belphebe 10.05.07 at 8:39 pm

I think we need an RCF toe-drumming (toe-tapping?) instead of a hover-paw.

Sadly, I have not yet learned how to animate pictures. SOON!

55 LowLah 10.05.07 at 8:53 pm

Proschest of Prosch Paws!
Kittenie Soft. You can just feel the fluffness.
*drools*

56 Jorden 10.05.07 at 9:10 pm

You are officially now trying to kill us.
TOO MUCH CUTE!

57 Laurie 10.05.07 at 9:24 pm

Those paws MUST be grabbed and kissed immediately.

Yes, this is exactly the kind of thing I do and how I found out my dogs’ paws smell like fritos.

58 almk 10.05.07 at 9:25 pm
59 Aunty-G 10.05.07 at 9:31 pm

sigh-yes the orange ones…I has one

60 joools 10.05.07 at 9:42 pm

Ahhhhhhhhhhhn. Once again, CO has saved me from homicidal urges towards my co-workers. That one was close! TOO close!

61 bonafide 10.05.07 at 10:32 pm

very nice… All I could think of when I noticed the little stalks on the moss was
OMG GODZILLA!

heh. too cute

62 Johanna 10.05.07 at 10:35 pm

You know, the folds in the fur make it look like someone wearing an oversized fur coat….

63 Metz 10.05.07 at 10:57 pm

I keep expecting a wee little fairy or gnome or elvish personage to peep out from behind teh leg and say,”EXCUSE ME! Yer standin on mah house! $%$Q#$###%@DFSAR#$@$!%!!”

Goes to check behind own marmie kitteh’s legs for wee folk.

64 Sprock 10.05.07 at 11:02 pm

It doesn’t seem possible that those soft, fluffy, squishy pawsicles could put a dozen runs in your pantihose!

65 Annie 10.05.07 at 11:35 pm

Did you find em Metz? don’t forget to look UNDER the Marmee paws.

Sits back with TWO cookies that I got my Paws on. Does happy Friday desk dance.

66 Susan 10.05.07 at 11:38 pm

It’s the sound of one paw clapping

67 sockmonster sarai 10.05.07 at 11:41 pm

OOOh! sweet fluffy delish marmie paws! Er, I’m probably going to regret admitting this, but my favorite Chef on Iron Chef America is Chef Morimoto, because his plates are SOOOOO pretty! So in my sleep deprived weirded out state, this post and the Fennel kitty post make me think of how Chef Morimoto would do it on Iron Chef America….

Okay, I’ll go take a nap now.

68 Theresa 10.05.07 at 11:48 pm

Velvety pawses! With a little fold. Sigh.

69 b.glad 10.05.07 at 11:50 pm

The fact that the moss looks like a bunch of little bushes makes this look like the WORLD’S MOST GIANT CAT. O_O

70 NYgirly 10.06.07 at 12:03 am

uh uh. i’m not convinced.

*lewks closely*

that’s got-zilla wearing those trendy fur boots (like dis: http://www.montkid.com/montkid/images/items/regina_girls_winter_boots_rg.JPG ) only wit toes built in and he’s stompin all over a mass village of huts wit peat-moss roofs

72 Juniper Jupiter 10.06.07 at 12:06 am

And Laurie, FRITOS? I thinks I might’ve asked you that befo’…:P…but recently when I picked up my baby girl Gentry(kitteh)she smelled a hint of baby shampoo…and I have never given her a bath…now I had to give her sister Rizzo one cuz of a case of diorama and I used some cat formula shampoo but that’s another story…but FRITOS?

73 fawn lust 10.06.07 at 12:32 am

feeeeeets!

74 bugmom 10.06.07 at 12:38 am

I agree. Fritos!!! I love me some Frito feet! They’re universal to cats & dogs…..see for yourself. Just scratch and…….
Wait. That’s only in my head….carry on.

75 tablemountaingirl 10.06.07 at 1:00 am

Who else thinks the teeny mosses are as cute as the kitty toes???

76 kel13123 10.06.07 at 1:35 am

77 misscrisp 10.06.07 at 2:13 am

79 Shaz 10.06.07 at 2:31 am

If there is a high-res version of this, I would LOVE to have it. It would look so cute enlarged and framed. :)

80 chet's momma 10.06.07 at 3:27 am

frito feet rule!!!!!

81 Theresa 10.06.07 at 3:36 am

“Laidoutinlavender” reminds me of my mom’s joking threat when we were kids, “I’ll lay yer out in lavender.” I never knew WTF that meant. ;)

82 laidoutinlavender 10.06.07 at 4:28 am

Haha, it is an old timey saying. I liked it so I kept it. I am so happy everybody enjoys the toes, he was such a friendly little kittie! When I took this picture his head was rubbing the top of mine.

83 Juniper Jupiter 10.06.07 at 4:44 am

Yup, kel13123! Hubby and I call it diorama, cuz the other word just sounds too gross, even tho it is the medical term for it. Hubby heard from Family Guy and thought it was actually pretty cute despite his dislike for potty humor, lol! I’m still laughing at Laurie’s friTOES!
XD!!!

84 NYgirly 10.06.07 at 2:39 pm

the frito smell is from the sweat glands in puddy & puppup feet

it’s kinda gross, but i love it anywho ^^

85 Charlie 10.06.07 at 3:39 pm

on the flickr you linked there is a particulary good ‘kitten with tocks in face’ shot xD

misscrisp: if those paws were paddling around my house, i would get absolutely nothing done. they are PAWESOME!

88 ricky 10.07.07 at 5:46 am

Thanks for this cute blog content.I like your thoughts.

89 book_monstercats 10.07.07 at 3:09 pm

I know I can’t have the kitteh – somebody would be very sad if I did, but I could have some of the magic moss kitteh is standing on, because it now has Zen qualities. For a bad day…

90 Alex Wells 10.07.07 at 6:47 pm

Kitteh: Purr. Moss: Durr.

91 butter 10.08.07 at 5:37 pm

Awww… The moss is getting ready to reproduce… :D

92 Subhangi 10.10.07 at 3:50 am
