I think I actually see lasers of hate coming out of his eyes in the second one!
Do you see his toesies???
He has Morse code on his belleh! Quick, someone translate!
>>I think I actually see lasers of hate…
Haha. CWC crossover there. Watch out, Meg!
In the first pic, look at his adorable legs all wet and skinny. Poor baby kitteh…awww. I think he probably forgot it all after his nap
“DISAPPROVING MUZZLEPOWSHE ENHANCE!”
Every time I see a sentence like that on CO, I imagine Meg sitting in the captain’s chair of the Enterprise, with other Cute Analysts at their stations… forging ahead into new frontiers of Cute.
USS Cute Overload perhaps?
llism and mleiv — those ain’t no Blue Lasers* — they’re not even YEEMs**…

Aww…I wish my old Marmie Dave handled his baths the way this little one did.
Dave hated his bath time, but he always looked prettier and smelled better in his afters.
Oh my God.
Are we expected to survive those pictures??? DO WANT.
OH NOES. THE TINY PAWSES STICKING STRAIGHT OUT!!1!
*BLEEN*
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA @ Kricket’s Star Trek reference…I’m a TNG Trekkie & that made me *giggle uncontrollably*
am i the only one also loving the barely visible underwater toes in the first pic?
between wishing-you-into-the-cornfield face and the napito afterwards, i’m done. this marmie made my day!
MARMALADE KITTAH!!!
His little tum-tum looks like kitteh bar code!
Belly belly BELLY~~~!!!!
I wanna cry looking at that after picture! =( =( looks like he just tipped over and she had to catch him in her hand. Cutest little baby! I want to snuggle a kitty.
I would paint stripeys on my tummy but it wouldn’t have the same effect.
All aboard the USS Cute Overload. Meg has been master of my galaxy for some time now.
that little striped body is just priceless. what a beauty.
I adore the leopard print blankie. So apropos! And the lasers of hate in kitteh’s eyes.
At least he does not scream like he’s being murdered like my Persian marmalade Gina does.
Hey PNY — check this out… completely unrelated to the damp marmie kitten, but this is the new 8GB USB keychain drive I got yesterday:
http://aycu32.webshots.com/image/47351/2003998250091212266_rs.jpg
…and, the manufacturer’s homepage:
http://www2.pny.com/8GB-Optima-Pro-Attach-Enhanced-for-Windows-ReadyBoost-P2568C292.aspx
That is a great pic. Love the sleepy kitty in the last pic.
Waiting for the people to come out screaming that you shouldn’t wash a cat. Sometimes you have to wash a cat, and no one knows the circumstances. My girls get into everything, once the big one escaped into the basement and came back with a smelly oily substance on her. Rather than taking any risks with her health I washed her. Oddly she didn’t mind at all.
Aww! It’s a kitty in a drip-dry suit!
For some reason he reminds me of Cloud Strife. Maybe it’s those intense blue globes of his. XD
Such reproach in those eyes.
“Why me?”
But that tender spotted little belleh! Oh! This is too much; so peaceful and adorable!
Look at those SHINY PINK OM-NOM-NOMLET toes in the “after” pic. And the pose he’s in. He’s like, “Quelle dommage! I am zee teeny-est uff marmalaze. I feel…so faint. Catch me, s’il-vous plait.”
Squeeeeeeeeeee! I love that last picture in particular. He looks like a stuffed toy!
That belleh is just asking for rubbingks.
Poor kitteh, there’s almost nothing left of him when he’s wet…
I believe that belleh is a controlled substance in several states.
Dunno, looks to me like Anthony here wants to think his bather into a cornfield.
Its real good, Anthony, real good.
Reminds me when I first washed my boy kitteh when he was about that size. He handled it pretty well but promply konked out afterwards while lying on my tummy from exhaustion after the TRAUMA! But not before he burped in my face for good measure!!! It was too cute!
Wbirdie: YOU ARE SO RIGHT! HUGE FF fan, nice to catch a reference! LOL But yeah, those eyes are definitely Cloud…HUGE and blue! Nice call!
SPOTTED BEEEEELLLLLLLLYYYYYY!!!!
)
all my babies have white bellies, so I miss getting to see the spotted belly!
And such a nice end to the sad bath story
We used to have to give our cats a bath – back when my housemates were all “Frontline is teh suxxor!!1!” and man, it was a nightmare. I went in shirtless and I was the Man in the Tub. I really understood what George Orwell meant in Shooting and Elephant when he talked about being hated by large numbers of people for I’ve been hated by four cats.
My housemates finally relented when their homeopathic vet said, “What are you doing? Get Frontline!” and now all the dogs, cats, chickens, pigs and sundry animals are happy.
Toebeans. VERY CLEAN toebeans!
*mooshes face into tiger tummy*
Wow super clean!
Toebeans, great word! I love it! Who knew a Cute animal site could widen my vocabulary so much! Even if the un-enlightened look at me like I’m crazy – hey, I’m used to that.
Meggie, Meggie, Meggie…
You are doing absolutely NOTHING to help my kitteh belleh huffing addiction. I think I’m about ready for some inpatient treatment. Think there’s any room at Le Cirque? Whaddabout Promises?
*runs off to snorgle a sleeping Georgie, who’s all “Huh? WhadImiss?”*
Bellikisses coming, *after* I make sure my nose is *warm*
I love the little damp mohawky hairdo on the first (and enhance) pix. What a little cutie .. I admit .. altho normally “marmie” is not my favorite color. I would definitely nom those toeses though. (say “nom those toeses though” a few times fast.. ha!)
Eeep! Toe beans! Shiny, clean, pink, tiny, kissable toe beans! And the hands people-just look at those widdy bitty thumbs! And the knees!
I need to go eat some sugar, to get the sweetness of this bebeh out of my mouf. If I can manage to crawl away from my ‘puter, that is.
On board the USS Cute Overload — Stardate -315157.36.
Captain Meg Frost: Marmie pic at three o’clock. I can see the dripping wet ginger proshness from here.
Dr. Theo “Teho” McCoy: If I’m not mistaken, that is one pissed off kitteh, Captain. I’d approach with extreme caution.
Meg: Noted, Teho. But I must – get – a closer – look –
Teho: No, Captain, I beg you…
Meg: DISAPPROVING MUZZLEPOWSHE ENHANCE!
Teho: DAMMIT MEG, I’M A DOCTOR, NOT A PHOTO ENLARGER!
That looks just like my kitty when I gave him a bath (last week). He is 2 months old. Poor baby tried to rip me apart at first, then he just glared.
Yawn. Can CU come up w. some new cutepseak? Disapproving (insert animal here), the suffix -ence, muzzlepousche, etc. are all so played. Muzzlepuff was better anyway.
THAT IS SO EXCELLENT.
Sometimes you do need to wash kittehs. I used to think that you ALWAYS needed to wash kittehs. I finally stopped when mine learned to meow “NOOOOOO!” and grab the dish drainer and haul herself bodily out of the sink. True story!
He is soo not a happy wet kitty. but that sleeping pic of his striped belly is to die for!! loves it!
BerthaSlave — (really totally LOL’ing at work, here)
http://aycu06.webshots.com/image/44885/2005821088466298087_rs.jpg
Whiskaas — what is this “CU” of which you speak poorly?
berthaslave is teh win!
IMHO he looks more hurt and scared than pissed off. Luckily for him the bath was soon over and then it was time to go seepysheep
WHAT an adorable kitteh by the way, and it looks like he has a very nice auntie.
Teho – CuteUnderload?
Whiskaas must be at the wrong site.
yeah the cats do whip out the disapproving muzzlepouches at so many moments. My fave is the single muzzlepouche pulled back into a leetle “cat sneer.”
I had to wash my marmalade cat once when he stepped in a pail of paint! It was a dramatic occasion for which I was not forgiven for quite some time. The paint paw-prints sure were cute…probably not to my landlord
The third pic = cute. Dangerously cute. I almost died.
ORINJ spotty belleh!!! UNREAL!!
BTW, my parents just hqve to get used to the fact that mt cats are the only grandchildren they will have from me.
Harumph. I always thought that horizontal stripes made me look fat. But on kitteh, it just makes him look phat!
OMG the nuffs were right!! Getting it wet killed the little marmie kitteh. rest in peace little muzzlepuff.
oh, my, GAHHHHHHHHHHH!
the continuous stripage on that kitteh tummeh has keeeled me ded.
have never seen that before.
I lurves this little marmie, disapproving muzzlepuff and all.
Berthaslave, as one Gaucho to another, what are you studying?
I believe the 3rd pic is absolutely the most MELTINGEST pic I have EVAR seen!!!! What a lucky Auntie!!
@berthaslave: So, so funny!!!! May I add:
“Captain, I canna’ get nae more pixels!!!!!” (played by Theo, in an amazing dual role)
Yeah the puss is all disapproval, but check out those splayed soaked frogs legs…so sad.
awww, poor baby.
On the other hand, my marmie baby began bathing at a very young age (due to fleas he had when I got him) and he didn’t mind a bit. He was a passive lump of sopping floofiness when put into the bath
OMG…what a lovely little kitty!
How I wish I could nuzzle those little toes.
My pups are the same way. I have to put down a rubber mat when I wash them in the sink. They get the heebie jeebies if a paw touches the edge of the disposal.
bath photo, not cute – sleepy photo, very cute.
Awww, I actually love the bath photo. Has the distinct “WTF did I do?? Why, why, why??” look that cats get when they’re in the bath.
I also started bathing my cats at a young age (all rescued so it was to fight fleas) and most were generally ok with it over time. The best part though is like the 3rd picture – snorgling them when they’re dry and smell so clean and fresh, with the poofiest of fur.
Theo: That’s a very keen observation you made there with that thumb drive…and that you took a photo of it for my benefit is really sweet. I will cherish it always. It’s the personal touch that means the most.
[Well never mind, then. No need to be sarcastic. - Ed.]
Ded, I am ded,
I already died from teh qte, then berthaslave had to go and make me LMAO to deth just as I was recovering.
She’s ded Jim, DEAD!
ohhhhhhh
(sigh of love and longing)
Ooo, can Teho be Spock too?
“Teh Qte is illogical, yet… compelling.”
I’d say Teho needs to play all the supporting parts, but he might draw the line at Uhura or Chapel. < .<
Awww, close up on the pathetic, skinny, wet legs. Love the before and after
Oh, I don’t know… I think Nurse Teho sounds juuuust fine.
Or maybe , “It’s Commodore McFluffersons from CO Station 45, Captain.” “I’ll take it in my ready room, Lt.” replies Capt Meggeroni.
Although I can almost hear from the loud speaker, “CAPTAIN!! WE’RE AT THE EDGE OF QTENESS! WE CANNA GO ANY FURTHER… WE’LL EXPLODE INTO A BEELION PEESESSSSSSSSS!”
Or is that just my imagination? Just wondering.
AWWWWWWWWW. The after picture. Looks like my cousin’s kitten, Kitten. LOVE!!!
A marmie kitten on a leopard throw blanket.
Too QTE!!!!
I love the stripes on the tummy!
How the heck do you wash a kitteh? I actually really need to know!
S.L. — VERY CAREFULLY!! (hahahahaha)
Deb, I’m in the theatre dept. At least until June.
Mar-MIE. Mar-MIE.
so no-one explained to me yet WHY this teeny little kitty needed to be fully bathed?!
how dirty can a leetle kitty be?
obsessive owners??
stripit gutulence.
OMG! THE TUMMEEEE SPOTS!!! *squeeeee*
Aww, he’s so little he’s still got blue eyes! And I love how his lovely orange stripes harmonize so well with the leopard-print fake fur bedspread. (Did anybody notice that there’s a human belly, covered by a yellow t-shirt, partway under the bedspread?)
But a sleeping kitten gives off Feline Sleep Rays, even stronger than a full-grown cat… *yawn*… think I’ll go to bed now myself…
I don’t think he looks actively terrified in the first pic. He doesn’t LIKE it, but his pupils aren’t in TerrorKitty Blackout Mode, and his ears are straight forward.
I think it’s more of a, “Wait, okay, I’m pretty sure I don’t like this” expression.
And foar teh nuffs: Kittens can get into EVERYTHING. The little marmie guy here might have knocked something over and got it all over his fur.
Some cats have skin conditions. I’ve also bathed older cats that had trouble cleaning themselves.
Sure, cats don’t need to be bathed in nature–they get along just fine with their kitty tongues. But in the wild, there’s no buckets of latex paint, or entire bowls of pancake batter, or other substances that kitties can knock over and get into their fur.
I’m gonna go with the benefit of the doubt on this one and assume there was a good reason for the bath. Bathing a cat is a lot of work. It’s not just something you do because you’re bored.
@marmie_love: LOL at the concept of bathing a cat because you’re bored!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Belleh! NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM
marmie_love — I want to see the pancake batter photostream. srsly!
I second the pbp (pancake batter photostream.
It’s fine to bathe cats as long as they are kept warm and out of drafts while they are wet. Bathing them while young once or twice helps inure them to the experience and makes it easier and less stressful to bathe them as adults.
My marmie Sam (mayherestinpeace) always found the filthiest greasiest things to roll in. He was so used to having a bath. He wasn’t good but he was very forbearing when the dreaded bath occurred.
Pheas, ka9qq’s wife:
Fortunately, the pancake batter scenario was purely hypothetical!
Though I have known many rambunctious marmies who would have gladly tried to intrusively investigate my breakfast plans, given a chance. 
A photostream would be terribly amusing, but I’m glad I’ve never had to wash a cat that found itself coated with a light batter. Who wants cat hair in their waffles? Or waffles in their cat hair?
Did you notice the matchingks. Redhead owner and marmie cat, I wonder if there are freckles under the fur.
For all you dreaming Star Trek re-casters… YOU CAN’T HANDLE NURSE TEHO!!
Crystal? (-line entity?)
We had a very similar ginger stripy kitty (Frankie) very many years ago when my parents ran a garage – teeny kitten + oil drum = legitimate reason to wash a kitten! The only bits that weren’t soaked in black yucky oil were his ears, face, and the very tip of his tail, poor little thing. We washed him very very quickly in case the oil could’ve poisoned him, and he was fiiiiine. This is the same cat that used to go for a morning swim in the pond – he was an odd one… Seriously – i saw him just calmly walk into the pond and swim 30ft to the other side. Not your average kitty… Lived to a grand old age, so the morning swims must’ve been good for him!
i love that last picture. he is so tie-tie.
Heehee, po widdle wet kittayn. That look is like “How can you just stand there with a camera?” And sure, Meg, I can believe this little fella is Wendy’s nephew – my co-worker’s brother is a dog.
Yes, sometimes “kittehs” have to endure a bath because of what they’ve been into. But who would delight in seeing its distress, much less recording the image to be sent out to a bunch of nattering dolts so they can oooh & awww over it? Animals live in the moment, and the moment for that poor creature was hellish. No, the owner was not abusing the kitten, but she abused my sensibilities. I wish she could have just shown us the pic of her pet drifting off into slumberland. Of course it was ready for sleep; it was exhausted from being repeatedly plunged into water by a controlling, laughing giant. What’s next? Waterboarding for puppehs?
Retraction, retraction, retraction….I, Jack, vow never again to darken this site with my foul rants. Even if I see a cat on a leash, I will move on sans comment. Not that any of you will care about this, but I realize that my words were unfair to the woman who was bathing the kitten. I imagine she loves her pet very much & does not want it to feel distress, so to her I apologize. Feel free to ban my input, because like an alcoholic who cannot resist the bottle, I COULD STRIKE AGAIN…
[Yeah, just watch *how* and *who* you strike, kiddo... - Ed.]
We’re sorry, the comments are suddenly experiencing technical difficulties which may prevent you from squeeing. Your money will be cheerfully refunded.
Jack: Howsabout the next post, a cruelly trussed up Pug.
Do you think that part of the reason most cats object to water so much is that: when they get wet they seem to shrink by at least 40%? It’s as if they’re saying – “No! I feel tiny in this soggy outfit! Just you wait…”. They do so love to assert themselves, and nobody, but NObody, could feel intimidated by the look of a wet kitteh…
Oooooohhh, aaaaaawwww!
If this little dude really was in any distress, then yeah, I’d object to these pictures. But I’ll say it again–you can tell he’s not terrified by his body language. His ears are straight forward, and you can see plenty of his irises. He doesn’t LOVE it, but he’s not petrified. He’s being kind of macho about the whole thing, actually. Any of you ever meet a macho cat? I’ve known some kitties who were like, “I don’t like this, but I’m tough. I’M TOUGH!”
Conversely, though, it can be SCARY to bathe a cat. My heart just about broke when I had to bathe a big 20-lb tabby when he could no longer clean himself. I don’t think he’d ever been bathed before, and he just yelled and hollered the whole time. Ears plastered flat to his head, pupils dilated to nothing but black, just not a happy kitty. When a cat is really that distressed, the signs are OBVIOUS.
He was FINE, of course, and he really needed it, but it wasn’t cute or funny at all. (After he was warm and dry, he was my friend again. Happily, the vet put him on a reduced-cal diet, too. He lived for a long time after that.)
This little dude has no idea we’re oohing and aahing over his humiliation, and it looks like his people are taking good care of him. tl;dr I know. I’m just here to natter on about the cute.
OMG tummy!!!!!
Ohhh the kittayn is just FINE people!!! Its a wee bath! A few of our rescued fur babies have had esplosive diarreah (sp?) and really, truly, honestly required a good scrubbing. After, you wrap em up in a towel a la kitteh purrito and cuddle for a bit and then they are fiiiiine.
Jack, I just have to wonder, since your posts are never positive, why do you come to this sight if you disaprove of everything you see? It just seems a little odd is all.
You’re right, Patricia, it must seem odd. For the record, I’ve made a couple of posts that were entirely positive. But to address your observation, I must say that (1) I actually do feel some outrage when I see cats on leashes & people making cute comments (as one example), and (2) mostly I’m enjoying the put-on aspect of this. I’m playing with irony, sarcasm. This isn’t really the site for such an activity, so I am trying keep my comments to myself. Am I a troll, mired in venom & negativity? In real life probably not so much…but maybe a little. But who cares? Like I said before, move on folks, nothing to see here….
Poor little bean looks terrified! It’s amazing how delicate they look when wet. Really cute pics!!!
You only get one chance to give a kitteh a baff. It’s when they’re itty-bitty like this guy. The first bath is usually also the last. They’ll let you get away with it exactly once but if you try it again, it’s on…
For some of the “uninformed about kittehs” people around here. Usually a little kitten needs a flea bath cuz they all seem to have fleas when you get them…I think they must be born with them…Like I said before, they let you get away with it. Once.
I volunteer to feed kittens at my local humane society. I have bathed quite a few kittens. You sometimes have to – they are just so filthy (especially if there is no mother cat or if the cat has a neurological disorder). You just have to be gentle and be very careful not to let the kitten get cold. I always spend ++ extra time snuggling them after just to be sure they are nicely warmed up. The kittens with neurological disorders who can’t clean themselves seem to really enjoy the wash and most of the other kittens are o.k. with it too.
I just want to bury my face in that beleh!
Yep, in that first pic… disapproval yes, distress no.
Second pic… “What bath? Was there a bath zzzzzzz?”
p.s. cutest tummy I’ve evar seen!
Is it just me, or does he kind of look like Seth Green, circa Buffy…like when he was turning all werewolfy, but in a ginger way?
Awww, jelly-bean toesies! Stripey belleh! Squeee!!!!!
Lt. Com. berthaslave: “We are recieving a hail captain. It’s from the Ic’hcs.”
Capt. Meg: “On Screen.”
Alien: HAI GAIS. I are Cappy Grate from the Ic’hc shyp OMG CHEEZEBURGER! I can haz di-lythyim cristyals?”
Meg (to herself): “I hate dealing with these people.”

Teho, lucky you. Hope Isis delivers this time, in every sense!
I mean ROFL!! LOL!! and squirting coffee through nose.
That is the most scrumpscious bellah I ever saw!
It’s like a message in barcode… I can almost read it…
Ooo, oooo… what’s it say???
[So far, all I get is "MEEP MEEP MEEEEEE(?)EEP $0.89/lb MEEP TUESDAY ONLY"... he might've been mislabeled - Ed.]
The last pic! Stripey orange belleh!!!
That last pic kills me ded every time. I’ll admit I don’t see anger in the first pic, tho–more of a ‘well this kinds sucks’ look to me.
And marmie kitteh didn’t drawn blood–what an angel!
Awww, he’s so delicate! Ardorabuhls
EEEEEEE!!!!
little belly welly…….and the expression……”you know, I really don’t approve of this……”
And after the bath……..all clean and snuggly wuggly……SHHHHHH
I am this Marmie Sam’s Mom, that’s me in the pics with him. I bootlefed him from 1day old. He had gotten into the fireplace and was covered in greasy soot from the underside of the grate. He was not pleased but took it in stride. It was his first but not last bath he gets into everything. He’s almost a year old now and beautiful. Thx everyone for the sweet comments. I can’t tell him though it will all go to his head ; )
