Rule of Cuteness #38: If you have a curved, plump belleh, it’s cute

by Meg on January 13, 2008

You can put away your protractors People, [snort!] There is no need to double check my math—the curve on this kitteh’s belleh is perfect.

How do I know? [pushing up glasses] I got the sudden urge to smoosh my face into it [clapping hands in 'done!' motion]

I assume this is the result of all those french fries.

2 moggyfan 01.13.08 at 9:57 am

Does this Rule apply to humans too?

3 Hon Glad 01.13.08 at 10:42 am

Too many fries little one.

1. This rule does *not* apply to human persaynes

2. The curve of that kitteh belly is directly proportional to the curve of MY SMILE DAMMIT

“If you have a curved, plump belleh, it’s cute”

You mean like this?

The little curled tail is killing me! And now that we see her all stretched out, she’s got really unique markings – there are touches of pale orange in there, along with the white, all against that soft grey background. What a beautiful kitty, taking a well-deserved nap after her snack of french fries…

I LOVE the belleh and the crossed paws!!!

8 Ella B 01.13.08 at 1:55 pm

I don’t normally do this, but I totally squealled and leant forward in an attempt to snorgle!!

My day is complete!

Pie, divided by 2, more like!

10 Katrina 01.13.08 at 2:47 pm

What gets me is that the chair looks almost as soft as the puddy-tat. OOOOOOO.

11 Two Cents Worth 01.13.08 at 3:28 pm

Fooled me. I thought the rule of cuteness was going to be “when your tail curls back to your ‘tocks appearing to make a handle, that’s cute!”

12 Yitzysmommie 01.13.08 at 4:57 pm

Oh, I finally have a Rule of Cuteness! MY belleh is definitely curved and plump.
I’m certain ya’ll are EAGER for me to send in a belleh shot to post on the Qte……NOT!

13 woofysma 01.13.08 at 5:42 pm

Oh, no, that little bitty belleh again – I just need one little kissy on it.

14 Fegli 01.13.08 at 7:03 pm

This kitteh is just begging to be the little spoon!

15 gryt 01.13.08 at 7:25 pm

Do I see the beginnings of a new Tailio category?

16 A thinker 01.13.08 at 7:56 pm

y’know how some people get an uncontrollable maternal/cuddling instinct when they see a (human) baby?

Well, I can’t relate to that. Except, that that’s how I feel when I see a kitty baby. Like this precious little one.

17 jen 01.13.08 at 8:19 pm

oh my goodness. what an anerable babeh kitteh.

18 Lizzy 01.13.08 at 8:40 pm

Belleh belleh belleh belleh! How has this not been a rule of cuteness already? Belleh snorgles / huffing / pfftttbbtt-ing is always on the top of my list when I see teh Qte. Just ask my puppy!

19 Momof2kitties 01.13.08 at 8:40 pm

Must snorgle belleh. And/or cat pits.

20 Carrie 01.13.08 at 9:01 pm

if i came into a room and that kitty was there – all snuggly and cute like that – i’d have to pick it up and rub it all over my face.

then i’d place it back, and it would be all confuzzled and maybe even kinda skeered from being so handled.

but i’d be happy

Extra prosh points for curved baby tail.

23 Wrench 01.13.08 at 9:49 pm

Omigorsh, my cat looked JUST like that as a bebeh kitteh. Soooo cute! :)

24 Wbirdie 01.13.08 at 10:33 pm

It’s plump from all those french fries!
Scritchably soft!:D

25 Allegra 01.13.08 at 11:00 pm

he looks like a fuzzy french curve! if only i had HIM in my toolbox at my studio!!

26 riolinda 01.13.08 at 11:21 pm

Awww… love the curled tail and the little white paws. want to kiss the belleh! :)

27 Kar 01.14.08 at 12:24 am

I could never pick up something like that. I’d have to crouch down and smooth out teh belly fur and snorgle the little furhead. Then lay my arm along the back and let her wiggle against it.

28 berthaslave 01.14.08 at 12:38 am

Yeah, I can pretty much verify that this rule does not apply to adult humans (hence my diet).

I love this color of kitteh — our first cat, Meow, was mostly this color (torty-ish) with lots of random color splotches. Gonna be one pretteh kitteh.

29 liz 01.14.08 at 1:34 am

totally uncalled for teasing of those of us who doe not have access to a kitteh-a-poo so snorgable.
i call foul.
or else, gimme two.
[stomps feeties]
right NOW!1!

30 Momof2kitties 01.14.08 at 2:38 am

I, too, have teh curved, plump belleh. Not teh qte. DO NOT WANT! But this guy? WANT!

31 metsakins 01.14.08 at 2:44 am

to quote the ad that is flashing next to her

Redonkulously Cute!!

32 Sammys Mom >^..^ 01.14.08 at 7:40 am

Kitten’s belly is cute, but get a load of that skinny tail curl — that’s to die for!!!! can i’z eats it like licorice-rope, pwitty pwease?

Andy & Koko – Thank you!!! Really, THANK YOU for sharing those picture links. Those behbeh’s are extremely talented at being CUTE! **falls off mustard-colored couch, lands in large version of puppeh’s office chair and rolls away, dying happy**

33 PatriciaWilson 01.14.08 at 9:11 am

Sorry I could not disturb anything so sweet and cute – I would just sink to my knees in total Kitty Adoration.
And would wait until the little soul awoke to miaow for a cuddle

34 CheshireCat 01.14.08 at 10:33 am

Actually, I think a slight curvature of the belleh in human females can actually be rather cute, however we do have to accept that a curved kitteh belleh will always be cuter than ANY human belleh.

35 Aoife 01.14.08 at 3:46 pm

Hm, no one seems to think MY curved, plump belleh is all that cute. Maybe if it was covered with fur? :D

36 chanpon 01.14.08 at 6:31 pm

Oh my. If I walked in on that, I’d have to grab my blankie and just curl up right with it.

37 Subhangi 01.15.08 at 5:57 am

I want to tickle that poifect belleh!

WHY won’t this rule apply to hoomans? *whine*

38 Candace 01.16.08 at 3:57 pm

Then according to this rule, I am absolutely adorable! That, and I have the Di eyes down!

39 meme.addcit 02.20.08 at 4:42 pm

I think it’s entirely possible that all the cute rules could be summarized by one rule – be a baby animal/human. It would be interesting to see some examples of these rules with say consumer products to see if they hold up. What mystifies me is how a cell phone can be cute.

40 Jimmy 03.09.08 at 12:19 pm

A distended belly can also be a sign of intestinal worms in puppies.
