Wow, this is a seriously cool picture of a beautiful diasapproving cat. Bleenin’ lovely, I say!

2 jessie 11.09.07 at 3:45 pm

That’s hilarious! What a pretty kitty, too.

3 tracyFlick 11.09.07 at 3:46 pm

I don’t get WHY they do this? My cat used to love baskets WAY smaller than him.

Someone explain this to me…?

4 luvinmalssomuch 11.09.07 at 3:50 pm

Cats sleep anywhere, any table, any chair.
Top of piano, window-ledge, in the middle, on the edge.
Open draw, empty shoe, anybody’s lap will do.
Fitted in a cardboard box, in the cupboard with your frocks.
Why???? Because we can.
Anywhere! They don’t care! Cats sleep anywhere

That is one of the sweetest cat-faces I have ever seen! Love the little pink toes too, and the nonchalant tail curl!

6 Hon Glad 11.09.07 at 3:52 pm

How to make a cata-meringue.

7 harlemgrrl 11.09.07 at 3:54 pm

i’m always looking for new ways to use a ramekin

8 Sandra 11.09.07 at 3:58 pm

Cats are so silly! I found my Persian Berta curled up in my colander! Of course the camera was MIA.

9 KAR 11.09.07 at 4:02 pm

Lend me a cupful, I am your neighbor.

10 MelindaB 11.09.07 at 4:06 pm

How did that pretty kitty get in there???

11 Maggie 11.09.07 at 4:09 pm

I love the over-the-hip tail curl… so adorable!

12 Paula 11.09.07 at 4:09 pm

“I don’t get WHY they do this? My cat used to love baskets WAY smaller than him.”

I was thinking the same thing Tracy. They love to squeeze themselves into small containers, especially if they’re round. I think that’s why there are so many pics of “cats in sinks”.

13 liz 11.09.07 at 4:10 pm

i love the extremely approving face, and the lil baby roll of fluff daintily dripping over the side.
and the delicate lil pink toe-beans up against the side of the pot!

14 Not That Mike The Other Mike 11.09.07 at 4:12 pm

Can I get mine with sprinkles, please? Oh, and some Reese’s bits, too…

15 Anne boleyn 11.09.07 at 4:14 pm

It’s like a seriously beautiful piece of art!

16 StormCat 11.09.07 at 4:16 pm

I think Kittehs like to do this because they can feel the container all the way around them… Even on the backs of their fuzzah backside… That way they feel safe… Kinda like we humans do with our blankies… Remember how when you were little, the boogy man couldn’t get you, as long as you had your blankie all the way around you?

Same thing as these Kittehs… Only they’re way quter doing it…

17 SarahP 11.09.07 at 4:17 pm

I love the little bitteh-kitteh oozage over the side.

18 Catman Dude =^-.-^= 11.09.07 at 4:22 pm

I think I’ll have a big bowl of kitteh with sugar and cream!

19 sas 11.09.07 at 4:28 pm

Thanks KAR, now that song is stuck in my head.

My kitties don’t sit in bowls. :( Maybe I need to get cooler bowls.

20 pny 11.09.07 at 4:30 pm

“There’s nothing I like better than to take a good soak at the end of a hard day. The hotter the water the better, that’s what I say! Oooh, yeah, babyy…that’s gooood.”

21 Colleen 11.09.07 at 4:34 pm

Dat kitteh is my mewphew! I am vry proud to see him on cuteoverload.com. His fuzzins are proud too. Good job Milo!

22 ADifferentPaula 11.09.07 at 4:36 pm

Big Head! Kitty Origami folding! *’Splodes*

23 Annie 11.09.07 at 4:36 pm

He’s so sculptural and he’s an orange one. Careful people.

Luvinmalssomuch Nice poetry and so true.

24 Metz 11.09.07 at 4:37 pm

It is part of the cat loaf http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2007/09/hover-kitteh.html recipie.
After kneading http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2007/11/kitteh-in-knead.html
until exhaustion sets in place in bowl in warm place to rise.

25 ashagato 11.09.07 at 4:51 pm

OMG what a cutie! the little fluff seeping over looks like whipped cream. i want to lick it clean…

26 StarryEyed 11.09.07 at 4:51 pm

So cute! And I love the SNL refrence!

27 luvinmalssomuch 11.09.07 at 5:19 pm

He is just a bowl of sugar.
This post made my Friday happy again.

28 Kiragirl 11.09.07 at 5:28 pm

it’s a catserole

29 mervtheflamingo 11.09.07 at 5:33 pm

Colleen: awesome Kitty, and “fuzzins” made me drop out of my chair laughing. Is that like “cousins”?

30 Jacki14 11.09.07 at 5:34 pm

I just realized that this nice glass mixing bowl is sitting on the floor–see the baseboard heater? Is sweet-faced kitty so fond of the bowl that it’s kept on the floor for convenience?

31 Mary (the first) 11.09.07 at 5:53 pm

This is a cross between “cats in sinks” and the one of the white kitteh on the glass table top. So funny!! I sense disaster when s/he tries to get out, though. I see no way to do it except to tip herself over and roll out.

32 Colleen 11.09.07 at 5:57 pm

mervtheflamingo: yes! as in cousins! Milo is my mewphew, so my cats are his fuzzins. :-) glad you liked it. i just thought of it this morning and i must admit that i am pretty pleased with myself.

33 bookmonstercats 11.09.07 at 6:01 pm

“Prrrrrrrrr. I am so cleveur, n’est ce pas, cherie?”

OR

“I’m in ur bowl, sheddin’ on ur bakin’”

34 Theresa 11.09.07 at 6:09 pm

Ten pounds of cat in a five-pound bag, erm bowl!

35 Theresa 11.09.07 at 6:11 pm

BTW, look at the little peenk rear paw pressed up against the glass!!!

36 milofanclub 11.09.07 at 6:16 pm

muffin top!

37 NYgirly 11.09.07 at 6:16 pm

you gonna sit on the bowl or pass it ^^

38 luvinmalssomuch 11.09.07 at 6:18 pm

Kiragirl, LOL catserole.

39 darkshines 11.09.07 at 6:21 pm

Kitties and people, and I’m sure many other species, do this for comfort, because it reminds us of being in the womb. When newborn babies are crying, you bind them up real tight, and they immediatly feel relaxed and safe. Kitties do the same thing :) Thats one happy and beautiful cat, love the strawberry jelly beans toes!

40 Theresa 11.09.07 at 6:22 pm

“Next on James Brown Celebrity Hot Tub Party, Dr. Joyce Brothers!”

41 strega 11.09.07 at 6:25 pm

Jump back, touch myself. HA!

42 Theresa 11.09.07 at 6:30 pm

You know, I had to, I just HAD to go to YouTube and hunt up Eddie Murphy’s Hot Tub bit. It’s hysterical. The best part is when he says “Well! Well!” and just *almost* breaks character, and smooshes down a huge, goofy grin that threatens to break out on his face.

43 luvinmalssomuch 11.09.07 at 6:33 pm

Sometimes I wish a could curl up in the fetal position in a bowl.
But not today because it’s Friday. Baaaarroooooo

44 Wolfie 11.09.07 at 6:38 pm

I think I would rename this post “My cup (or bowl) brimmeth over!”

And is it just me, or does that cat look like Cate Blanchett? :-b

45 mberkie0 11.09.07 at 6:46 pm

Is this kitteh-gami or what? He-he – catserole!!!
My [former] cat, Cool Paw Luke, used to do this in my shoeboxes – he was too big to fit and his tail would be the overflow….

46 mmmarmalade 11.09.07 at 6:47 pm

I is bowled over.

47 Robbie 11.09.07 at 6:57 pm

Looks like a kitteh trifle.

48 Derek 11.09.07 at 7:04 pm

I has a bole.

49 IHaveFurryChildren 11.09.07 at 7:06 pm

Theo, was “Pets in Pots” supposed to go somewhere about pets in pots? It just leads to “anerable” in the CO Glossary.

50 Theo 11.09.07 at 7:09 pm

IHFC — hmm, it seems to work correctly in FireFox, but not Internet Explorer. Not sure why.

51 IHaveFurryChildren 11.09.07 at 7:11 pm

Can you post the link here for me? I’d like to see some more pets in pots.

52 Kate 11.09.07 at 7:15 pm

top-notch posts today!

53 Theo 11.09.07 at 7:17 pm

IHFC — I think I’ve fixed the link, now, along with the wonky page-anchor in the Glossary. You may have to refresh this page first (just hit the F5 key) but it should work.

54 IHaveFurryChildren 11.09.07 at 7:27 pm

T’anks Teho!

55 ronita 11.09.07 at 7:35 pm

It’s not only the picture, it’s the caption that has me rollin’on the floor! Brilliant!!

56 Alicia 11.09.07 at 7:52 pm

Oh Milo, I always knew you’d be a star!

57 sunnymum 11.09.07 at 7:53 pm

Hardest workin’ cat in America ;)

58 Steph 11.09.07 at 7:59 pm

Why do cats cram themselves into tiny spaces? I have always wanted to know!!!

59 Kara 11.09.07 at 8:07 pm

Cat’s got the classic ‘Wut.’ look on his face. I get the feeling he does not wish to be disturbed by his menial human servant-sorts during his ‘alone-time,’ but is far too comferbuls to care.

60 Erin 11.09.07 at 8:13 pm

Aw, Milo! How I miss your furry face…

61 berthaslave 11.09.07 at 8:28 pm

Bowling for kittehs. And I love how so many people know this cat!

62 Kiragirl 11.09.07 at 8:46 pm

Wolfie, YES, Cat Blanchett

63 justin 11.09.07 at 9:16 pm

yes, many people know this cat. he was famous way before cute overload. i think i saw milo interviewed on leno once.

64 aag 11.09.07 at 9:58 pm

Does anyone remember BonsaiKitten?

That’s what this made me think of!

65 sunnymum 11.09.07 at 11:06 pm

Milo “Egads. The camera thingy again. The curses of being so beautiful.”

66 homer mariner 11.09.07 at 11:38 pm

I love how big his head now looks in proportion to his body…

67 Annie 11.09.07 at 11:58 pm

Hmmm Slides glasses up nose. I believe this Picture of Milo is one more incident that goes toward proving our Theory of cat bodys as a new combination liquid solid.
Ahhhem taps pointer on picture. Class the amazing thing about the cat is its ability to change from solid to liquid at will, and able to be half liquid half solid, as the situation may require.

68 Pheas 11.10.07 at 12:00 am
69 Sweetpea 11.10.07 at 1:30 am

i’d like to order one serene bowl of cat, please, heavy on the marmie

70 Lizzy 11.10.07 at 4:12 am

I misread ‘James Brown’ as ‘Jack Bower.’

O_o makes it even funnier, actually…

(And I don’t even watch 24.)

71 Colleen 11.10.07 at 5:22 am

Oh my goodness–PLEASE tell me that’s his usual, favorite-est sleeping spot. :)

72 Subhangi 11.10.07 at 10:12 am

Kitteh doesn’t look either shaken or stirred. :P

73 Barbarella 11.10.07 at 10:23 am

Awwww! The little squashed pawsies! :D

74 Kimbunny 11.10.07 at 10:26 am

Yes, it’s a grownup version of a BONSAI KITTEN that has broken free!

http://www.shorty.com/bonsaikitten/

75 gail 11.10.07 at 1:50 pm

Too funny (again) youse guys-down to the last Jack Bower (not a 24 viewer either).
Really do enjoy reading all the comments. It is funny how much you can like people you don’t know just by reading the comments! (sniff)

76 blair 11.10.07 at 3:31 pm

He’s all, “what?”

77 Theresa 11.10.07 at 3:49 pm

Annie:
Please refer to Flippy’s “Cat Physics”:
http://www.flippyscatpage.com/catphysics.html

Note especially that a cat is equally composed of Matter + Anti-Matter + It Doesn’t Matter. ;)

78 Fegli 11.10.07 at 4:00 pm

My cat has a fervent and mysterious love of plastic bags. They’re all so weird.

79 Tricia Garrett 11.10.07 at 5:39 pm

Kitty Kat Pudd! WITH cream please.

80 Anne 11.10.07 at 9:40 pm

Maybe this cat thinks its hiding in this bowl? This is just silly! And familiar. My 1-1/2# kitten liked to curl up in my dog’s water bowl when it was empty – he was 95 lbs! He would look at me very confused, like, Now what do I do?!? I bought my current cat a soft, comfy cat tent, and she ignores it for a wicker basket of all things.

81 Anne 11.10.07 at 9:43 pm

Just noticed the curly tail, so graceful!

82 fawn lust 11.10.07 at 11:40 pm

internet celebrity hot tub!

83 Leisa 11.11.07 at 12:54 am

Neatorama has proven that this cat is a liquid:

84 alexa wilson 11.11.07 at 6:33 am

Just goes to show,
cats don’t know the meaning of the word ‘Impossible’
this photo is going on my desktop. what a great inspiration.

85 acelightning 11.11.07 at 8:38 am

Instead of a bowl of pudding, we’ve got a bowl of cat! (I’ll bet he’d just *love* to be garnished with whipped cream…)

86 JAY1937 11.12.07 at 3:19 am

This picture just proves what I’ve always suspected:

Cats Are Made From Rubber
