5 ka9q's wife 12.16.07 at 7:12 am

Why not it’s warm there.

I have to say it…Catlike typing detected.

6 jen 12.16.07 at 7:13 am

OMG!! I’m in love! What kind of a cat is that b/c I soooo want one!!

7 marissposa 12.16.07 at 7:25 am

kitties like the gentle massage of the keys on their paws. it’s feline reflexology. who could deny them that?

8 bdwilcox 12.16.07 at 7:25 am

Looks like a bobble-headed kitty to me.

9 educand 12.16.07 at 7:31 am

Keyboard? I don’t see any keyboard, all I see is the prettiest little kitty face ever!

Really, who’d want to use a computer after looking into that sweet face anyway?

Kitty’s also very well cared for, do you see how well groomed she is?

10 BenPanced 12.16.07 at 7:41 am

Oh, what beautiful eyes! So big and bright!

11 acelightning 12.16.07 at 7:43 am

That fluffalicious little kitty *IS* a small hairball, except cute instead of wet and yucky…

12 LunaKitteh 12.16.07 at 7:57 am

Little munchkin face angel, you can leave hairballs on my puter any time ya want! Splort!! Your cuteness has done me in!

13 Shannon 12.16.07 at 8:04 am

Oh my husband HAS a kitten if he sees the cat (they do NOT get along) anywhere near the computer. I don’t care, but boy, he sure does….

14 lurkertype 12.16.07 at 8:11 am

yes, with kittehs, it’s not that we’re letting them on the keyboard, it’s that sometimes they let us use it instead.

this floofkins is redonkulously anerable!

15 lurkingsmirk 12.16.07 at 8:21 am

The fur is saying “i’m a ferosh lion” and the face is saying “i’m a prosh kitty” squeeeee!

16 Maria 12.16.07 at 8:33 am

Laptop takes Lap, so Kitty takes over Lap(top) … my cat will squeeze in between me and my laptop and lean into it until I give her my undivided attention. they’re rivals. :)

17 Farren 12.16.07 at 9:08 am

She is a Silver Chinchilla Persian…

Her name is Ame (Ah-may)

Every time she lays down on my keyboard, I don’t have the heart to push her off…she’s just too cute!

18 Mitsu 12.16.07 at 9:14 am

Omigawsh, look at those ridiculous ear fluffs! Irresistible.

19 Kar 12.16.07 at 9:25 am

Those eyes are clearly saying:

“I OWN your soul. Now pull up the http://www.KittensOnCatnip.com site.”

20 io 12.16.07 at 9:33 am

That precious kitten definetely owns my soul. Seriously, I think this is my favorite post of the month…well this and the naughty kitten batting at the poor dog.

21 Zee 12.16.07 at 9:45 am

Fer dis kitteh, I could forgive a tiny hairball.

22 Zee 12.16.07 at 10:17 am

Ageen, I totawy fordive dis kitteh’s furball. If only mine would ask the same when dey hock up a cat-loogie.

23 Pam 12.16.07 at 11:15 am

That kitten is so awesomely adorable, she looks like a perfect little stuffed animal! It’s like it’s not possible to be that cute and be real!

24 michelle 12.16.07 at 12:11 pm

i WANT one! I’m snowed into my apartment for the day and I WISH i had a little flurfball like that to keep me company!!!!

25 snoopysnake 12.16.07 at 1:10 pm

It’s the new Toshiba de-stresser laptop accessory! Just gaze into the kitteh’s eyes for 30 seconds and be calmed and ready to resume computing.

26 Subhangi 12.16.07 at 1:48 pm

EEEEEK!!! The eyes!!!

*splode*

27 jenna 12.16.07 at 2:15 pm

lol- my cat does this all the time!

28 jenna 12.16.07 at 2:18 pm

btw- this is a maincoone coon– ear tuffs, and furry paw paws.

29 Allison 12.16.07 at 2:24 pm

fourlegsgood is right – is not possible to stop kittehs.

30 oscar 12.16.07 at 2:53 pm

cats are sorta like ferrets,almost impossible to keep off the laptop.

31 tracyflick 12.16.07 at 3:02 pm

It looks like it could be a stand-in for the lion from Chronicles of Narnia.

A very small stand in.

32 catablob 12.16.07 at 3:07 pm

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize there was actually choice involved here. What is the alternative?

33 swiddles 12.16.07 at 3:28 pm

Kitteh sees wigglin’ fingers
Kitteh remembers that wigglin’ fingers give good tickles
Kitteh remembers that good tickles are diviiiine
Kitteh places self under wigglin’ fingers
Owner swears at kitteh who just jumped up and sat on the keyboard.

TRY keeping a cat off the keyboard – they are such attention whores :P

34 chanpon 12.16.07 at 3:46 pm

My cats love crawling over my laptop and PC keyboard, especially when I’m on a conference call at home.

This one looks like he’s thinking “What are you doing geeking over the internet rather than playing with ME?!”

35 emmawhite 12.16.07 at 3:46 pm

must.steal.kitten. Farren, look away!

36 Kat 12.16.07 at 4:07 pm

gorgeous little kitty! I’m so jealous =(

37 Kaya 12.16.07 at 4:19 pm

Silver…Chinchilla..Persian.. (taking notes with tounge sticking out of mouth)
Got it, Farren! I hope they’re not absurdly expensive?

38 Annie 12.16.07 at 4:21 pm

HA this is what cats really think about computers and why they sit on your key board.

Too…much…floofyness! *splodes*

40 Ray 12.16.07 at 4:59 pm

looks like someone else has to vacuum out their keyboard too

41 Gina 12.16.07 at 5:06 pm

Meep! The eyes! The fluff! Eyes…fluff…WANT KITTY!

42 Tamara 12.16.07 at 5:18 pm

Magnificent ear floof FTW!!! I demand video’s of this little beauty!

43 Ayeesha 12.16.07 at 5:31 pm

OMG, the ridiculously cute eyelash wings off the corner of her eyes are killing me.

44 Silent Meow 12.16.07 at 5:58 pm

OMG what a ridiculously CUTE kitteh!

Wanna hug kitteh! Wanna pet kitteh! Wanna bury my face in her fur!

AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGH! SQUEEEEEEEEE!

SPLOT! dead from overdose of cute

45 PeaceNLuv 12.16.07 at 6:07 pm

Positively modelesque!! This kitteh should be crowned America’s Next Top Kitteh!! She’s so beautiful–reminiscent of a 1960’s Twiggy! Pose: Fierce, Eyes: piercing; I can almost hear the theme song (“Wanna be on TOP?”) “Beautiful photograph. One flaw though, the neck is almost nonexistent. You must watch out for that in future kitteh Ame. Since you’re shorter than the other models, you must always remember your neck. Congratulations, you’re still in the running to being America’s Next Top Kitteh.”

46 jen 12.16.07 at 6:09 pm

GORRRRRRRGEOUSSSSSSS!!!!!! oh lordie. i’m having pawpitations. i’m smitten by her beauty, and i’m not even, like, a guy.

47 Sally 12.16.07 at 6:44 pm

I will stare into ze eyes of the cute little abominable snow kitteh, and be forever in nirvana.
Seriously thats some cute floof!

48 sher 12.16.07 at 7:08 pm

I didn’t know maine coons came in silver like this – what a BEYOOTIFUL little kitty this is! What a fancy pants!! Reminds me of a friend’s persian, the kind without the smooshed in face – Sammy looked a lot like this gorgy thing.

I want to snorgle those ear tufts and those fuzzy paws.

49 Farren 12.16.07 at 7:17 pm

Kaya, by the time I got her into the United States, I probably spent 1,200 dollars on her…honestly though, the money means nothing anymore. She has become my furry little accomplice, she follows me everywhere, and no matter what I’m doing, I just can’t say no to her face! She can peer into my soul!

50 bdwilcox 12.16.07 at 7:57 pm

Are there any more pictures of her you can post on Flikr or something?

51 Tara 12.16.07 at 8:07 pm

No its more like, “OK work is done, and if it isnt done this is mandatory break to love on me!”

52 Philbert Austin Selda 12.16.07 at 8:24 pm

Awwwwwwww!!! What a little cutie~ She’s beautiful! I SOOOOO want one! Gimme! Gimme! Waaaaaaaah!! O_O

53 happypiano 12.16.07 at 8:48 pm

oh my…

what a face!

54 cath 12.16.07 at 9:06 pm

Farren, congratulations on having the prettiest little kitten ever. I’m not even a cat person, and this one has stolen my soul. What a beautiful, intense stare she has!

55 Mitsu 12.16.07 at 9:21 pm

Ha ha, she sure is poofy! I just noticed the way the sides of her head are engulfed in fluff, so that you don’t even see them, it just looks like her face is emerging from a cloud of kitty floof.

56 JinxtheCat 12.16.07 at 9:30 pm

She is toooooooooo beautifuls. Wonderful ear fluffs.
Worth every penny to immigrate eh Farren?

57 cindy 12.16.07 at 9:30 pm

this kitty looks like the fairy puff ball thing in the background.

58 Marianne 12.16.07 at 9:36 pm

that is such an intense stare!

59 hideko 12.16.07 at 9:46 pm

…. oh god, I think my brain just stopped working for a full minute. *cannot stop staring*

*which is bad, since she’s at work*

60 A thinker 12.16.07 at 10:46 pm

I. Want. Teh. Floof.

Must…have…floof…

dee eyes…

61 pyrit 12.16.07 at 11:33 pm

So, I don’t know what an ethernet port is and kitter does. OK. …..OK.

62 pyrit 12.16.07 at 11:36 pm

OH! Was it Meg’s hairball?!
No…….no. No.

63 Holy Cuteness 12.16.07 at 11:37 pm

Great picture! Don’t know what an ethernetport is either, but I just looooove the kitten…

64 P. Erasmus 12.16.07 at 11:45 pm

Awesome Ninja cat flipping out

65 jess e. 12.16.07 at 11:50 pm

This might actually be the cutest cat I’ve ever seen. Like, EVER!!! Look at those Cleopatra eyes! It reminds me of the cartoon evil kitten from The Emperor’s New Groove.

66 iammetlc 12.17.07 at 1:16 am

Little sweetie-pie like this,can go anywhere he pleases.

67 ashagato 12.17.07 at 1:20 am

oh my god the weirdest thing just happened! i’m reading the comments and my cat climbed on to my laptop, and when she jumped off, my return key flew off! i just looked for like 5 minutes and i can’t find it. it’s disappeared…
bizarre!

68 anomalous4 12.17.07 at 1:41 am

ethr netz? we no needz no steenkin ethr netz, mon! we can has wifi!

so mai b is not using ethr netz portz newai, den iz ok kitteh puts harbl in dere 4 nao………..

p.s. mai human slaev sez: “None of my feline masters have ever sat on my keyboards. The first one didn’t seem to be aware of the computer at all (he was usually asleep somewhere else), the second staked out the space on my desk in front of the monitor (she was a big girl with thick plushy fur that sometimes hid the bottom of the screen, but I didn’t mind at all as long as she kept me company!), and the third wasn’t interested in either the laptop or the big computer. She’d sit in one of our laps whil we were working, but that was about it.”

69 Jen 12.17.07 at 1:57 am

I try to keep my cat, Stewart, off my computer. But he just LOVES to curl up in front of me while I’m typing and rest on my keyboard. Of course, then he starts to press buttons. So when I’m talking to people online, it’ll be all
“hi how are you, what ups gfjdhgjdghjdghdjgh”. To which all my friends are like Exsqueeze me??

70 Jen 12.17.07 at 2:00 am

Oh BTW!!! She’s a pretty kitten Farren! Makes me wanna use the axis of snorgling!

71 Noelegy 12.17.07 at 2:23 am

What a beautiful little Sugar Plum Fairy.

72 Nikhera 12.17.07 at 2:38 am

I’m hypnotized. Such a beautiful kitty face!

73 b~ 12.17.07 at 3:11 am

i agree with jess e — this has got to be the most adorable kitten in the whole entire world! i swear i’ve never seen such a purrfect creature. she’s absolutely stunning.

74 BBM 12.17.07 at 4:13 am

Kitteh says, “I DARE YOU to take me off the keyboard. C’mon BRING IT!”

75 bflmar 12.17.07 at 4:41 am

My kitty never walked on the keyboard…but used to sleep on top of our old (huge) monitor. When we replaced it with a flatscreen, she was so disappointed!! Kept looking longingly at the top of the screen for days….I almost wanted to put the old one back, it was so sad. Now she sleeps on a box by the printer. Still no keyboard, though….

76 Farren 12.17.07 at 4:45 am

77 blair 12.17.07 at 5:55 am

mouse!

you said there’d be mouse!

78 bdwilcox 12.17.07 at 7:16 am

Thanks for the links Farren. She is, in fact, perfect. I take it from the pics that she is imported from Japan? I also noted that you have another, older cat. How did s/he handle Ame coming into your home.

I just have this mental image, definitely burned in from childhood Looney Tunes, of Ame looking all doe-eyed, blinkey, and innocent when you’re around, then turning into a she-devil when you turn your back.

79 Farren 12.17.07 at 7:32 am

At first my older cat Diesel would have nothing to do with her…but now he lets her chew on his tail and pounce on him once in a while. It’s taken them quite a long time to get used to eachother, but I think they are good buddies now!

80 Lindsay 12.17.07 at 9:42 am

Cutest. Kitteh. Ever. Farren, you are so lucky to have such a sweet companion! Thanks for the links too. Just one pic was not enough of Ame’s sweet face! : )

81 Babs 12.17.07 at 2:28 pm

Yanno, my dad has long hairs coming out his ears too, but he’s not nearly this cute.

82 ThreeCatNight 12.17.07 at 3:26 pm

Again, I’m being killed by a kitten with a face that’s so beautiful (especially those eyes) it’s unreal. What a little doll!

83 lauren 12.17.07 at 4:32 pm

Our cats LOVE laptops. I think it’s becase they are warm and seem to purr. One time hubby left the lid of his laptop up and we heard the most awful “SCIT! POP! SCREET! POP!” Kitty had used the keyboard as a scratching pad. Keys were removed. He had to buy a new keyboard for his laptop. I have pix (click on name). :)

84 Julie 12.17.07 at 6:06 pm

She looks like an ewok!

85 kk3 12.17.07 at 6:16 pm

Emma (Maine Coon) sit under the desk on the shelf with the scanner. She reaches her paw up between the crack (to feel around on top of the desk)). If she finds something like a pen, *poof* it’s gone down the crack…then back up the paw comes in search of other treasure!

86 ali 12.17.07 at 8:08 pm

is that kitteh wearing makeup?
stunning!

87 CheshireCat 12.17.07 at 8:44 pm

Those sparkling blue eyes, so hypnotic….

88 Sabella 12.17.07 at 9:03 pm

Ohh! What a sweet little expression! The eyes! So intense and sincere!

Her expression reminds me of a kitty I had before he passed away (Romeo)…always with the sincere expression, wanting to tell you something so badly!

89 Holly 12.17.07 at 9:34 pm

Ame is absolutely gorgeous. What a face.

90 Zombie 12.17.07 at 10:21 pm

Now THAT is a floofy kitteh.

91 chacha 12.17.07 at 10:34 pm

Farren has a talent for choosing beautiful cats. Check out “Diesel” in the sink!

92 Dawn 12.18.07 at 12:24 am

dawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

93 natalie 12.18.07 at 6:57 pm

that is quite possibly the cutest cat i have ever freaking seen. way to go.

94 Tina Rhea 12.18.07 at 7:21 pm

Ame looks like the kitten in the Warner Bros. cartoon, where she befriends a huge soppy bulldog.

95 ariel 12.22.07 at 6:23 am

I believe this is the prettiest cat I have ever seen.

96 ivivivivi 01.04.08 at 9:37 pm

if there’s not much love in this world anymore, at least, there’s still as much cuteness to save us and our days!

97 ivivivivi 01.04.08 at 10:30 pm

if there’s not much love in this world anymore, at least, there’s still as much cuteness to save us and our days!

98 n. 01.28.08 at 12:06 am

Not to be a spoilsport or something but our cat damaged my husband’s laptop by sleeping on the keyboard of it. We are not sure how, but the repair guy confirmed that it could happen. Either she helped it overheat, or hairs got in and did some damage… anyway… watch out, people. Those cats on keyboards can be dangerous to your computer.
