This web site has grown tiresome.

by Meg on January 22, 2008

I grow weary of this "posting of kittehs". Puh-lease. "Kitteh" is not even a real word.

Tiresome

Turi M. was looking up the word "disapproving" and found this dude on wikipedia.

What a bleening grump! I must snorgle him until he is happy again. :)

2 donnalynnern 01.22.08 at 8:32 pm

Goodness, what a grouchy look!!

3 Serena 01.22.08 at 8:32 pm

AHAHAHAHA! So disapproving… I love it :)

4 Pliny 01.22.08 at 8:32 pm

Reminds me of ‘Mr. Potter’ from ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’

“What are you, but warped, frustrated young cat?”
“And a Happy New Year to you- in the POUND!”

5 skippy 01.22.08 at 8:33 pm

I’m on ur blog, disaprovin ur postingks.

6 bazu 01.22.08 at 8:34 pm

I’m going to snuggle you, kitteh! And you’re going to hate it! But I’m going to snuggle you some more! {rubbing face into disapproving kitty head}

7 ceejoe 01.22.08 at 8:39 pm

omg, I *lof* him – he is gorgeous!

8 metsakins 01.22.08 at 8:47 pm

yes, I believe if that cat was at my house it would be time for “the forcible hugs” (followed by the comfy chair and the soft pillow)

9 charliewabba 01.22.08 at 8:47 pm

ivv biff buh pfffprmmf fubbb….
(spits out furry paws that were in mouth – sorry)
Is this the poster from last week who thought CO was “phoning it in?”
(stuffs furry paws back in mouf and returns to nomming)

10 Lisa 01.22.08 at 8:48 pm

“Ha-RUMPH! I disapprove of everyone and everything, ever.”

11 kim 01.22.08 at 8:49 pm

Intervention!!!!

12 b~ 01.22.08 at 8:50 pm

Who knew that disapproving could be soooo cute!!!! :)

13 Peter 01.22.08 at 8:51 pm

Banker cat does not approve ur loan.

14 Theo 01.22.08 at 8:51 pm

You know where those paws have been, then, CharlieWabba?

15 boomer 01.22.08 at 8:52 pm

That cat has two chins!!! Holy crap – double the disapproval!!!!

16 bev 01.22.08 at 8:54 pm

He looks like he’s a judge, presiding over some important Enron-like case.

“We need to take a short recess. Defense and prosecution? To my chambers please and bring tuna.”

17 Wendy 01.22.08 at 8:54 pm

I don’t think he looks grumpy at all.

I think he looks about as content as a kitty can look!

But I guess it’s just me.

18 Natalie 01.22.08 at 8:57 pm

OMG I love him. I have never seen such a perfect definition of disapproval, scorn, and harrumph-ness.

19 Nicolletta 01.22.08 at 9:01 pm

I shall snorgle you, Mr. Grumpalicious, and you will like it!

20 Kimberly 01.22.08 at 9:03 pm

This kitteh reminds me of the Burl Ives “Big Daddy” character on the very appropriately titled, “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.” I can hear this big fellah sputtering “mendacity, lies and HIGH-pocrisy!”

21 charliewabba 01.22.08 at 9:08 pm

Theo – those paws hve been only in the Executive Suite litter box, and they have been washed and dried with a warm towel handed to His Honorable Catness (this is not a kitteh) by a white-jacketed attendant, who was then somewhat stingily tipped.
(returning to paw nomming)

22 Kiragirl 01.22.08 at 9:08 pm

not so sure about disapproving, kitteh almost has a “mona lisa” smile.

23 woofysma 01.22.08 at 9:08 pm

I had no idea that Winston Churchill came back as a cat. Now tell everyone to never give up!

24 MandaBain 01.22.08 at 9:09 pm

THAT is the most beautiful fat cat I’ve ever seen. I mean, for crying out loud-he has chubby cheek wrinkles!

25 charliewabba 01.22.08 at 9:11 pm

Actually, he looks a bit like my great-uncle Dave after he tried to get his tip back from the Maitre d at the 21 Club when he decided the table he’d been given wasn’t adequate to said tip (when in fact it was)

26 M. 01.22.08 at 9:12 pm

Fat cat fat cat, more to lurv. :sticks nose in between the fat folds:

27 Daphne Moss 01.22.08 at 9:14 pm

Disapproving cat says “Your narrative has grown tiresome … I require organic catnip at this time …”

28 catablob 01.22.08 at 9:15 pm

AAGGGGGG!
A living stuffed animal!

29 metsakins 01.22.08 at 9:17 pm

I have just made him my desktop. I believe it has just the right feeling for an accountant’s office during tax season.

30 Jennifer 01.22.08 at 9:21 pm

He needs a hug.

31 jen 01.22.08 at 9:33 pm

OH LOLOLOLOL!!!!

what an adorable grumple!

kitty curmudgeon. i must hug him! aaaaack!! hilarious!

32 Anne Boleyn 01.22.08 at 9:34 pm

I luv heem, yet he skeres me. Do whatever he sez.

33 chanpon 01.22.08 at 9:37 pm

Disapproving?? I can envision lasers shooting out of his eyes at me. (>_< ) Yet why do I want to hug him and pet him?

34 Babs 01.22.08 at 9:39 pm

This McGrumpersons would look like ICHC’s HappyCat, if he were, you know, happy.

35 Way Cool Groovy Chick 01.22.08 at 9:39 pm

In Hindenburg announcer voice: “Oh! The chubbulance!”

36 BonzoGal 01.22.08 at 9:42 pm

I see him as Sidney Greenstreet in either The Maltese Falcon or Casablanca.

37 Kat 01.22.08 at 9:47 pm

I have to say, this picture is pretty high quality too:

Evil Mad Scientist Cat has a human for a pet.

39 Holy Cuteness 01.22.08 at 10:03 pm

OMG, he must be getting a lot of food..

40 Kim 01.22.08 at 10:05 pm

Check this guy out on icanhascheezburger:

http://icanhascheezburger.com/2007/11/28/banker-cat-does-not-approve-ur-loan/

So perfect.

41 Mary (the first) 01.22.08 at 10:11 pm

from some of the comments, I discover I am not the only human capable of “forcible snorgling” wherein you grab a resistant and perhaps disapproving cat and engage in a purely self-serving snorglethon with said cat’s unwilling belleh, ears, etc. “Mooom!” they cry .. falling on deaf ears. This guy, if he lived atmy house, would definitley be assaulted frequently.

42 anner 01.22.08 at 10:11 pm

metsakins -ah yes, the forcible hug! a friend of mine calls it “torture love”. when you have an adorable furry aminal around, it’s so hard not to give it more loves than it wants. in my case, i grew up with a dog for whom there was no such thing as “too much” attention. try going from that to having a cat with an especially kissable muzzlepowche and trying to respect its “limits”.

43 Theo 01.22.08 at 10:13 pm

Rachel of Cyberia — Evil Mad Scientist Cats have TWO pet humans! One of them even shows up here in the comments sometimes.

44 Frank Schmitt 01.22.08 at 10:13 pm

I’m thinking he looks like Wilford Brimley reminding us to eat our oatmeal.

45 liz 01.22.08 at 10:22 pm

oh i think this guy and winston need to get together and party.
imagine the fur-flyin-fun!
Charliewabba- i hate to think of the bloody-scene that would certainly happen is you tried to nomb these (adorable) feeties. please use x-treme caution!

46 adam 01.22.08 at 10:24 pm

Barrister cat objects!

47 Merri 01.22.08 at 10:25 pm

He looks like he wants to say, “I have grown tired of ALL of you and your blasted insolence! Bring me my Fancy Feast!!”

48 pixie-stix 01.22.08 at 10:27 pm

That is one feisty fluffy feline. *rubs kitty’s nubby ears*

49 Marie 01.22.08 at 10:30 pm

More, more, more! I love this cutie.

50 Sara 01.22.08 at 10:34 pm

That cat has to be a turn-of-the-century industrial tycoon.

51 Sprock 01.22.08 at 10:39 pm

bev,
“to my chambers please and bring tuna.”

LMAO!!!

52 sas 01.22.08 at 10:44 pm

He’s not fat, he’s fluffy! At least that’s what I say of my british shorthair. She often look disapproving as well. :) Man I wish I had a house full of the fluffy Cheshire kitties.

53 A thinker 01.22.08 at 10:45 pm

ok, I’m pretty sure I need this cat.

54 mike d 01.22.08 at 10:47 pm

Biiiiiiiiiiiitterman!

55 carmini 01.22.08 at 10:53 pm

56 Leah B. 01.22.08 at 10:54 pm

Does he have a cousin named Nigel posted on this here web-site around christmas of 2007 ????????????

What is said kitteh’s name anyone know ?

57 CheshireCat 01.22.08 at 11:07 pm

Is that banker kitteh?

58 Night Queen 01.22.08 at 11:09 pm

Is this a Russian Blue with a bit of Scottish Fold? Was wondering because of the ears. Looks like he almost has dimples. Looks sleepy and waiting to be served a nightcap.

59 Decca 01.22.08 at 11:41 pm

He’s sitting there like one of those old guys who always heckled Kermit on the Muppet Show.

60 Gail 01.22.08 at 11:43 pm

Winston Churchill or Mr. Potter—definitely! But the hovertext brings out a Blazing Saddles reference:

“I didn’t get a harrummph out of that guy”

61 my sister's cat is a blob 01.23.08 at 12:00 am

He looks like Winston’s evil twin. Oh, wait…

62 Lizzy 01.23.08 at 12:02 am

My kitty approves of no one and nuffingks. She flees at the merest whiff of human affection. Yet there are times, when she is veeeeeery sleepy, that I can sneak up on her and OMG SNUGGLE NUZZLE HAHAH I WIN!!!!

63 Nancy Liedel - The Goat Rodeo 01.23.08 at 12:22 am

Mr. Fluffinzes does not approve.

64 Theresa 01.23.08 at 12:33 am

OMG, it’s my Daddy!!!

65 Heather 01.23.08 at 12:40 am

Good work Kim! I knew I had seen him on Icanhascheezburger.com!!!

66 joliesmom 01.23.08 at 1:23 am

“I am not amused. QUICKLY! Grab me my goggles. I’m going for a swim.”

67 Mollence 01.23.08 at 1:47 am

If there is an opposite of lolcats, this cat is it :)

68 liz 01.23.08 at 2:00 am

well. i’d be pissed off if someone named me ‘Lilac’ too.
what a silly name for such a GORGEOUS kitteh.

69 Piggalette 01.23.08 at 2:08 am

“Give the governor a harumph!” “HARUMPH!” “You watch your ass.” God I love that movie. Unfortunately that was all from memory. :P

70 Lee 01.23.08 at 2:27 am

He’s the feline Wilford Brimley!

71 Jolene 01.23.08 at 2:38 am

If anyone knows this kitteh’s name, please tell us! My sweetie wants to name him “Winston.”

72 nads 01.23.08 at 3:11 am

He looks like Jabba the Hut.

73 madeleine 01.23.08 at 3:37 am

he bears a striking resemblance to orson welles

74 berthaslave 01.23.08 at 3:48 am

Everyone has covered the similarities to famous actors, but I have to add the following:

Robert Morley

http://www.britmovie.co.uk/actors/m/images/016a.jpg

Or Charles Coburn (sans monocle):

http://www.nndb.com/people/127/000063935/coburn-gawk.jpg

And yes, my dissertation is about movie actors.

But what makes this photo is the paws up on the cushion. Without the paws, it’s just a McGrumpersons photo. This is a McGrumpersons POSE.

75 Merri 01.23.08 at 3:59 am

He looks like I feel every morning getting up for work!!! I would kill to have a kitty that looks like this baby!!

76 Fegli 01.23.08 at 4:46 am

No way! Kittehs for life!!! Keep posting them I <3 them! Especially this funny little guy. So cute!

77 Karen 01.23.08 at 4:52 am

Never have I seen such a disapproving kitteh! I must snorgle him!

78 Zee 01.23.08 at 5:32 am

What else can I say except: Constipation. Kitteh needs Dulcolax, oatmeal, and, um, careful hugs.

You’d be disapproving, too.

79 Juliene 01.23.08 at 5:44 am

He’s the fantasy feline offspring of Wilford Brimley and WC Fields. and maybe a nun.

80 Annie 01.23.08 at 6:23 am

Now Stevens about that raise you requested. Denied

Ohh and one more thing
YOUR FIRED!

81 Subhangi 01.23.08 at 6:53 am

OMG. He’s the living definition of BAH HUMBUG.

82 Hon Glad 01.23.08 at 7:10 am

A Grumpuss.

83 Diana 01.23.08 at 7:23 am

Hehehe. Actually, he’s probably just sleepy. He looks like he’s about to close those eyes and yawn.

84 Hila 01.23.08 at 8:42 am

My goodness… He’s the spitting image of William Shatner!
“That’s right… Denny Crane. Harrumph”

85 dwine 01.23.08 at 10:43 am

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

86 acelightning 01.23.08 at 11:47 am

I’ll bet he even disapproves of disapproving rabbits!

87 Gail 01.23.08 at 12:25 pm

Robert Morley!!!! LOVE it!!

88 mariaS 01.23.08 at 12:29 pm

Give that kitty another close look — that’s a happy cat! Those are contented squinty eyes, and the ears are permanently folded. He’s asking for love, not paging security!

89 Theresa 01.23.08 at 1:31 pm

“Is it true that on the night of April 21, 2007, you refused to throw your hands in the air and wave ‘em like you just don’t care?”

90 zeldapie 01.23.08 at 3:09 pm

I’d like to see this dude go up against Cinnamon, the Disapproving Rabbit. Oooooh!!!

91 natalia 01.23.08 at 3:14 pm

[Aha! I do believe I detect a PBS/BBC fan! - Ed.]

92 Kimski 01.23.08 at 3:17 pm

nads, my thoughts exactly,
Jabba the Hut.

93 jen 01.23.08 at 4:19 pm

i keep giggling every time i see this picture. what an adorable cat and ridiculously cute expression.

94 Pie 01.23.08 at 4:36 pm

IT’S JABBA THE CATT!!

95 zeldapie 01.23.08 at 4:42 pm

I love how his fur overlaps his legs.

Rumpole – I can see it. He needs a wig, though! (He could also be the Mad Bull, Judge Bullingham, giving Rumpole the hairy eyeball.)

(Though Laughton is usually smiling).

And what about Charles Gray? (Couldn’t find the good “Rocky Horror” shot of him disapproving of everything).

98 ThreeCatNight 01.23.08 at 5:53 pm

Honorable Barrister Nigel P. Catsby standing before the court:

“My esteemed colleague -
do spare me your insults to the feline population. We have been here for thousands of years, honing our intelligence, and acting as a friend to man – when it suits us. We have shown the human race that it is possible to relax in any place, under any circumstance. That food is easily obtained if we cajole you enough, and that, if we wish, we will lavish our attentions and affections on you – but only if it so pleases us. So, I beg the Court’s indulgence, do not malign us as ‘kittehs’. We are of the feline kingdom, descended from Egyptian nobility, and beloved of monks throughout the ages. Please, sir, accord us the respect you would show to another of your kind standing here before you. I thank you and the Court, and now, I must have my cream!”

99 brinnann 01.23.08 at 6:01 pm

:( But Hon. Catsby, if I can’t call you kittehs, what must I call you?

100 brinnann 01.23.08 at 6:04 pm

Oh, and Catsby lead me to The Great Catsby.

Note to self: Must find a way to LOLcat The Great Gatsby. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_great_gatsby

107 brinnann 01.23.08 at 7:31 pm

Oops, gotta go back and vote him.

108 zeldapie 01.23.08 at 7:45 pm

Turi, I love that name, MAX.
I always think of Carol Burnett’s version of Norma Desmond, yelling “Max! Max!” at Harvey Korman.

109 Churchie La Femme 01.23.08 at 8:55 pm

what a sweet hunni!! love him lol

110 pyrit 01.23.08 at 9:36 pm

111 ronita 01.23.08 at 9:50 pm

This picture plus Cuteoverload made it to the Dlisted website. Unfortunately, it is filed under Britney. Should I post this under “C.O. in the Media”?

112 Melinda 01.23.08 at 10:04 pm

He looks to be saying “I think you have me confused with someone who cares…”
Well, Mr. Big Grumpypuss Pants!!!! Let me snorgle you and then we’ll see if you look so grumpy!

113 Gail 01.23.08 at 11:42 pm

@Theresa–ROFL!
@zeldapie–LOL at the great Carol Burnett reference!

Great picture, Turi! He looks like a great cat!

114 MMc 01.24.08 at 12:27 am

I think he looks more stunned than disapproving. Or maybe like he’s just beginning to pass gas.

115 MMc 01.24.08 at 12:28 am

Yep – he has the vaguely bewildered and earnest look of gas-passing.

116 dd 01.24.08 at 2:07 am

I would call him “Mr. Brussels” of Dirbyshire Heights! Sooo royalle!

117 catablob 01.24.08 at 2:52 am
