omg having a not-great day and as usual, the delectabuhls postings on CO are keeping me going! You can NOT have too many prosh kittehs and puppehs and all that other stuff. Even the tree cozies which were (technically) not alive. CO rules!
When I was in college, I always said that I would marry a man who do a good Swedish chef impression. I’ve been married 4 years and I’ve never asked him. Tonight!
Holly – I think the bebbeh is just a bebbeh kitten of the general cat sort. He looks just like any number of pretty grey babies that come through the shelter where I work. But so prosh with his ambiance lighting and calaphon!
I’m so jealous and proud of Hyura for getting a photo on Cute Overload! Now I have to get my dog in somehow, but sadly he has a disability that makes him a little less cute.
Incidentally, Hyura’s kitten is actually named Safin, after tennis star Marat Safin.
Oh, and the appreciation for Calphalon cookware among the Overload crew has just increased my love of this site even more than I could have imagined.
A kitten in the midst of a table d’hote heard,
O ho lay dee yodel lee-o, lay dee yodel lee o lay.
What was for dinner but a little song bird,
O ho lay dee yodel lee-o,
O ho lay dee yodel ay.
FluidStatic — re: #2 — yep, you just have to click into “Preferences” and drop down a menu to find it. Look for “Bork bork bork!” They have “Elmer Fudd” too. Seriously.
Is Sabin going to crawl in? Is the kitty sizing it up with that one paw? The answers we’re all dying to know! Kitty kind of has a look of puzzlement on his little face.
That’s it – I want to entirely re-stock my kitchen with Calphalon cookware, *and* have an adorable and talented little grey kitty to do the cooking when I don’t feel like it. (And to pet and snorgle and cuddle when s/he isn’t cooking.)
No can haz borrshch, if ve haf Sveedishch – ve haf (bork, bork) frikkedeller, erh, meatballz. Borrshch she iz from beeeeets and is werry, werry peeengk [purpl?], not gray. Yum, yum!
Smörgås and smörgåsbord is Swedish but might be Danish too. Danes and Swedes understand each other some of the time even if Norwegian is closer to Swedish.
I wish we had a chef that cute and soft to cook our sandwichtables for us over here! Svenska kocken är gulligare än en sötnos!
ohmahnyegoodness so cute!!!
No, no, no! I said a mousie in evewwy pot, not a kitteh! Kittehs are for de snorgling, not de eatingks!

Sabin, you can be my chef anytimes!
OMG, I never thought anyone could transliterate what Sewdish Chef is saying!

Today, we are going to be making Cha-colate Muusse.

I’ll say it. Matchingks? I looove the grey kitty, and I so incredibly desire a Calphalon stocked kitchen. Or a kitty stocked kitchen.
Darn, Meg’s got it all covered on the matchingks front. At least I’m not the first to think of it that way!

Kitty fajitas!
When I was in college, I always said that I would marry a man who do a good Swedish chef impression. I’ve been married 4 years and I’ve never asked him. Tonight!
Holly — I’m going for Russian Blue…too slender for British Short or Chartreux. Bt I could be wrong of course… all I know is: I wants!!!
I love the eyeball profiles.
Holly – I think the bebbeh is just a bebbeh kitten of the general cat sort. He looks just like any number of pretty grey babies that come through the shelter where I work. But so prosh with his ambiance lighting and calaphon!
Hernde schmernde mertde “cheeke irnde bisket”!!!
I agree with Holly and Wistaire on Russian Blue as the breed.
I wonder how bork, bork, bork translates into Russian.
Ratatoullie, the sequel: Cooking with the Enemy.
Obviously a short (furry) order cook.
i just told my Microsoft Word Spellcheck program to add the word “Snorgle” into the list of accepted and recognizable words.
When I was a kid I thought mincemeat was made of mice…
perhaps kitty’s making micemeat pie.
ahwww, what a beauty!
Oy! The comments, they are cracking me UP today!
wish there was a third pic with the kitteh sitting in the pot
@unci – That would be Danish. The word you’re looking for is “smörgås” as in “smörgåsbord”.
Sabin is all like “nozzing sticks to teflon so how does teflon stickx to de pan?”
Teho, Snerk HEhehehehee… so now you are speeking google swedish Eh..
ROFL
Teho, so now you are speaking Google swedish??? Rofl.

The Muppets! The Swedish Chef! The Great Gonzo! Kermie! I love the Muppets, one of the bestest shows on Earth. Meg, I love the way you think.
Oh, and the kitteh is adorable too.

I love the little rear right paw poised on the pans rim! Ya get better control that way!
Waiter, there’s a hair(ball) in my soup.
1. That kitten is teh prosh.
2. I didn’t know Google spoke Swedish Chef. O_o

Looked like a Russian Blue to me. Too slender for a Chartreux or a Brit.
Darling regardless!
Kitty needs a chef’s pouf hat and an apron…stat!

and BTW
could this be considered a 4:20 event???
I’m thinkin it so.

The kitteh is beee-youtiful.

The intentness of it all! Even his brow looks furrowed in concentration!
OMG, Theo, that google thing amused me for faaaaar too long. Thanks!

Is Sabin going to crawl in? Is the kitty sizing it up with that one paw? The answers we’re all dying to know! Kitty kind of has a look of puzzlement on his little face.
Go inside gentle kitty.
What Theo?… Doesn’t everyone have a Berber covered cooktop??
So prosh!
Do ar mykitt vakor kitty.
That’s it – I want to entirely re-stock my kitchen with Calphalon cookware, *and* have an adorable and talented little grey kitty to do the cooking when I don’t feel like it. (And to pet and snorgle and cuddle when s/he isn’t cooking.)
Another charming aspect, is the whole nerdy*intellectual graphics advantage … cat in gun*metal grey, leaning over saucepot of gun*metal grey ….
I changed my google preferences language to “pig latin”!
Oolcay!
hee hee, thank you leslie!
Hello everyone, as a friend of the owner, I can confirm that the kitty is a Russian Blue. Rather adorable, he is.
Must be a Russian Blue – something very Ninotchka-esque about the facial expression.
Or Natasha-esque?
Vere ARE moose und skvirrel? In ze pott?

omg I thought the kitty was a see-through ghostie in the second photo until I figured out that was his/her “arm” in the pot! Maybe I’m tired.
Smörgås and smörgåsbord is Swedish but might be Danish too. Danes and Swedes understand each other some of the time even if Norwegian is closer to Swedish.
