by Meg on March 17, 2008

Dog: You look kitteh-flavored.
Kitteh: Um! [quakes in stubbular boots]

Overslurp_1

Dog: Indeed! Quite delectabuhls!
Kitteh: [bats at lip curtains]

Overslurp

Heh, I like the term ‘lip curtains’, don’t you Johanna S.?

Kitteh receives the wet willy of a lifetime. What an expression!

4 HelenWheels 03.17.08 at 1:29 pm

Mmmmmmmm,I’m glad someone brought hors d’oeuvres!

5 Whiska 03.17.08 at 1:32 pm

Lip curtains sounds vaginal.

6 Leilani 03.17.08 at 1:32 pm

Kitteh in pic #1: “HOLY SH*T! That *nose* is bigger than I am! Don’t inhale!!!”

7 Theo 03.17.08 at 1:34 pm

Well, the second pic is a “PLEH” if there ever was one. Hehe.

8 Formica 03.17.08 at 1:35 pm

@Whiska: I am glad it wasn’t only me who thought that.

9 Guido 03.17.08 at 1:35 pm

Yeah, this definitely should be given a NSFW clickable preview, ’cause man that is some porn there.

10 Vicky 03.17.08 at 1:38 pm

Ohh maii goddd, that doggy looks piggeh like…. the texture and someone hasnt been getting enuff sleep hav they mr snortle-woofersons?
I think NOT

11 Miya 03.17.08 at 1:40 pm

AWWWW I used to have a great dane! They’re big ol’ sweeties! I bet that kitty thinks it’s his mommy. Or that doggie thinks that’s it’s baby….=) awwwww I can’t stop awwwww-ing!

12 Theresa 03.17.08 at 1:46 pm

“Wet willy of a lifetime”
(SNORT)

13 lsuhillary 03.17.08 at 1:48 pm

This really made me “Oh ma Gawd!” outloud!!

14 cheesybird 03.17.08 at 1:57 pm

*Hands itteh bitteh kitteh towel*

*pats big bow wow on his big ol’ head*

15 Annie 03.17.08 at 2:05 pm

LOL at Cheesybird.

My thoughts exactly.

His nose is bigger than the whole kitten Hehehehe

16 Robbie 03.17.08 at 2:07 pm

Tastes lik chiken.

17 Rumi 03.17.08 at 2:17 pm

Awwww, the start of a lifetime friendship. Sweet dog, sweet kitty. The expression on the kitteh’s face in photo #2 is priceless!

(* I also thought “lip curtains” sounded rather vulva-oriented, lol).

18 ThreeCatNight 03.17.08 at 2:21 pm

Kitteh to self:
“Keep smiling, keep calm, maybe he’ll stop it soon.”

19 momof2kitties 03.17.08 at 2:35 pm

Kitteh: I haz a flavor?

20 chanpon 03.17.08 at 2:38 pm

LOL!! Kitty’s expression in that last pic is priceless!

21 Subhangi 03.17.08 at 2:40 pm

O_o

Holy SIZE DIFFERENCE. That kitteh could fit in that dog’s mouf!

Cute doggeh, cuter kitteh!

22 warrior rabbit 03.17.08 at 2:40 pm

Whiska & Formica, me too.

Stubbular boots! lol

This whole thing made me splort.

23 Jaye 03.17.08 at 2:43 pm

Oh, wow. That dog looks like Marmaduke with a bad hangover! I just want to grab his dangly jowls and shake them–can’t you just *hear* the wobbly flopping sound? It must be awesome when he comes out of a bath and shakes himself.

24 lily 03.17.08 at 2:51 pm

awww.. but okay.. i kinda feel sorry for that kitty. the dog’s head is like quadruple the size of the kitty itself.

25 Kathy 03.17.08 at 2:52 pm

Ok, while hardly a Sign Of Cute (perhaps falls into the category of Cute Or Gross), I have to say that Lip Curtains must absolutely enter the realm of Cute Vocab.

I just hope I never have them.

Rah Meg!

26 ladynuffsalot 03.17.08 at 2:56 pm

I’ve had pets all of my life, and exposing kittehs to ginormous puppy heads PUTS THEM IN A TRANCE OF TORTURE.

STOP THE INSANITY.

Totally kidding. Loved this one :-)

27 Whiska 03.17.08 at 3:00 pm

OMG. No to lip curtains! No!

28 metsakins 03.17.08 at 3:03 pm

the kitteh disapproval in the second picture! it burns!

29 tesstricks 03.17.08 at 3:05 pm

Cats have such expressive faces – hence the popularity of lolcats. :) Goggies are great, and I love them, but their most telling expressions tend to be limited to “back off or I’ll eat you,” “look at my sad puppy eyes and adopt me,” “REALLY happy to be your pupbassador,” and “feed me I’m starving not really but it feels like it.” I like how the kitty here goes from O_O to O_o

30 Clare 03.17.08 at 3:06 pm

You know, for such a HUUUUGE FREEKIN DOG, that is a surprisingly dainty slurp. Just try to cut the kitteh out in your mind (difficult, I know) and it just looks like a PEEP of tongue.

Course, from kitteh’s point of view, that tonguesmidge is HALF THE SIZE OF HER ENTIRE HEAD.

Yay to Harlequin Great Danes. :D

31 In Awwwe 03.17.08 at 3:07 pm

In the second pic the kitten’s expression reads as: “I get no respect…I mean seriously”

32 warrior rabbit 03.17.08 at 3:07 pm

Whiska: Moist lip curtains (runs away)

33 Quinn 03.17.08 at 3:08 pm

You did NOT just say lip curtains! Aaaah!

I love how the kitty is just takin’ it. What cuties these guys are.

34 Catsquatch 03.17.08 at 3:12 pm

“Awww MAN! He LICKED me! Now I needa BAFF!”

35 BumbleBee 03.17.08 at 3:16 pm

Love eet! That’s some pretty good timing on the part of the photographer there – good job :O)

36 Mitsu 03.17.08 at 3:16 pm

Heee! Lookit the big doggie slurrrping little teeny disapproving kitty! That really is a great facial expression. I am continuingly amazed at how they manage to come up with that much expression without really moving their facial features all that much. I’ll bet this shows up on icanhascheezburger in no more than 48 hours.

37 leah b. 03.17.08 at 3:17 pm

Well I hope my flavor is not that good saz kitteh, cause talk about dog breath !!!
Lip curtains indeed…good greif

38 Martin Hooper 03.17.08 at 3:20 pm

Hehehe This got me grinning! Nice kitteh too…

39 Lizzy 03.17.08 at 3:41 pm

Kersnorffffffffffffff

I made a noise that scared my pup just then. BUT OMG CUTE!

40 Katfighter 03.17.08 at 3:42 pm

I have two great danes (one is 170 pounds!) and they are the gentlest, sweetest beasties on the planet. I also have 3 cats, and they are definitely lord and master of the danes!

Also, this is one of the cutest darned things I have ever seen! Poor Mr. Danerson couldn’t help himself…and kitty’s face is PRICELESS.

41 Janae 03.17.08 at 3:42 pm

It’s curtains for you, kittie. CURTAINS!

42 Theo 03.17.08 at 3:46 pm

Mitsu — [SNORT!] …no doubt.

43 Fegli 03.17.08 at 3:46 pm

The kitteh face in the second picture is spot-on perfect.

And it’s a dalmatian! Har har!

44 Carrie 03.17.08 at 3:48 pm

***SSSSSSQQQWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESPLODE***

yet again – I’m out of my hed (spelled wrong), I might be dead (spelled right)….. sigh, sorry that just came out.

My brain – it’s melting from all the Qte today. HEP!!

You must quit with the evil Qte-ness!

45 Shannon 03.17.08 at 3:54 pm

So sweet!! That 2nd pic will be in “Cute pics” from now till the end of time..

46 Eastie 03.17.08 at 3:55 pm

I have to agree that kitteh’s expression in the second pic is absolutely priceless. LOL!!!

47 Shannon 03.17.08 at 3:55 pm

Bah. “Cute pics” EMAILS from now till the end of time. (I Just woke up….)

48 Kar 03.17.08 at 3:57 pm

That is a seriously rotund little kitten belly.

No wonder he looks so appetizing! He’s so plump!

And vaginal? Geez people. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

49 cronite5 03.17.08 at 3:57 pm

By the last picture the kitten seems resigned to it.

50 caitlin 03.17.08 at 4:01 pm

lollerz.

…so is Johanna S. on retainer, or what? ;)

51 berthaslave 03.17.08 at 4:05 pm

Carrie — LOL — “They musn’t carry out their evil deeeeed….”

Though “lip curtains” sounds vaguely dirty, they are, in this case, descriptive and accurate (as opposed, say, to “wizard’s sleeve” which is just wrong).

Sorry for working blue.

This might be teh PERFECTEST two-pic submish possible. And as far as “I Shall Leeck You” it trumps the one of the toddler licking the piggeh nose.

52 Too Late 03.17.08 at 4:15 pm

LoL @ lip curtains! You guys are so wrong on so many levels… hahahaaha*SNORT*

53 Karen 03.17.08 at 4:25 pm

LOL! SO CUTE! The pup’s nosey is bigger than the kitty’s entire head! LOL!

54 Larry Sheldon 03.17.08 at 4:30 pm

Kitty looks like the poster child for “unwanted attention” for a “sensitivity” seminar.

One of the benefits of being unemployed, I don’t have to sit through those anymore.

55 JC 03.17.08 at 4:32 pm

That is the best thing I have ever seen!

56 murfnik 03.17.08 at 4:32 pm

Those “lip curtains” are actually called “dewlaps.” You figure which one sounds better. And that is indeed a Dane, not a Dalmation. What a fabulous pic! ssshhhhllluuurrrrrppp!

*squees*

[I've always had a hard time telling those breeds apart too... Dane, Dalmation, Dachshund, Dik-Dik... seriously, it's a nightmare - Ed.]

57 rdg69 03.17.08 at 5:26 pm

murfnik: The lips are jowls. Dewlaps are kinda extra chin looking things on bunnies. Kinda like really loose skin that hangs under the chin. I call lips like that dangly jowls, lol.

But really cute pic. That second one is HILARIOUS.

58 HonorH 03.17.08 at 5:51 pm

I squealed when I saw this. So cute when a kitty isn’t even as big as the doggy’s shnozzle! And its facial expression in the second pic–it’s so very “kid whose Aunt Marge keeps smooching him.”

59 CoffeeCup 03.17.08 at 6:01 pm

The kitty’s expression in the second photo is totally the expression I used to get as a kid, at big family dinners, when an uncle or aunt would pinch my cheeks or slap a big wet one on my cheek.

Yep, that very same kind of expression.

60 Juniper Jupiter 03.17.08 at 6:06 pm

Awwww!! Now if THAT wasn’t the most delikit of schlerps!!! What a schweet doaggy!!! :D And what a KYOOT kitling!!! I CALL DIBS ON BOTH!!! :P

61 RJ 03.17.08 at 6:13 pm

@murfnik – A dewlap is a flap of skin that hangs under the jaw or neck, like what you see on a bull. A turkey wattle is a type of dewlap.

This dog’s “lip curtains” are just called lips. Sometimes you’ll see someone call them jowls.

Whatever someone calls them, those two photos are awesome, especially with the kitten’s “aw mom” expression. XD

62 A thinker 03.17.08 at 6:18 pm

ah! kitty is a wee fraction of teh dawgie’s giant head.

63 CoffeeCup 03.17.08 at 7:13 pm

It ate my comment. I said earlier that the kitten’s expression in the second photo is the exact same expression I used to make when I was a kid, at big family dinners, when an aunt or uncle would pinch my cheeks and lay a big smack on my cheek. Poor kitty.

64 One Eyed Daruma 03.17.08 at 7:19 pm

It almost looks like the kitty’s left ear already got snorfled into that nose. Eeps! It’s the face just like I Dream of Jeannie makes as she gets sucked back into the bottle!

65 debg 03.17.08 at 7:24 pm

So what do we call the bag-o-skin under my chin? I object to dewlap and jowl on aesthetic grounds. Actually, I object to the bag-o-skin.

66 Susan B. 03.17.08 at 7:24 pm

AHHH! That second picture is the best. His expression is all “uh-oh! Not what I wanted!”

67 Anasztaizia 03.17.08 at 8:55 pm

I can just see the kitty being lifted up and falling back to the floor cartoon style from the licking! Tooooo cute

68 anner 03.17.08 at 9:10 pm

yeah, for anyone who listens to Peaches, “lip curtains” doesn’t exactly sound…wholesome.

what about “muzzle flaps?”

anywho, this is one of the best posts EVAR!!!!! doggeh is so ginormous, kitteh is soooo expresseef! he’s all “ZOIKS!” and then he’s all “SHEESH!”

69 Jade 03.17.08 at 9:31 pm

“Dewlaps” is a much sweeter term than “Lip Curtains” which sounds far too much like “Meat Curtains” – the vulva-oriented phrase.

70 snoopysnake 03.17.08 at 9:39 pm

Anyone see Celebrity Apprentice the week before last when Piers kissed Trace and called him a beautiful cowboy? This kitteh has the same face that Trace made.

This also brings to mind “A Charlie Brown Christmas” when Lucy got slupped by Snoopy and screamed, “Augh! I’ve been kissed by a dog!”

71 Gail 03.17.08 at 10:18 pm

@kar & snoopysnake: LOL!!!

These are TOO QTE!!! I was thinking “jowls”, too—-but really, muzzleflaps is really the correct CO term, I think!

“Lip curtains” as a gynecological reference?! I guess I’ve been leading a sheltered life!

Back to the camp songs: “Do your lip curtains hang low? Do they wobble to-and-fro?”

72 david 03.17.08 at 10:40 pm

this has to be in my top 5 fav pix ever on c.o.!

73 Kallisto 03.17.08 at 10:52 pm

It’s okay, Kitteh. Your homeboys didn’t just see your stepmum give you a big kiss. Your homies don’t have internet access. I’m sure of it!
No worries, you won’t be the lauging stock of the hood…

74 Biesh 03.17.08 at 11:06 pm

That pup totally has Princess Di eyes goin on. Why does this remind me of Of Mice and Men? “Aw, George, I wan’t gonna hurt ‘im, I just want to pet him, see? I promise…” Just with a nice, slobbery ending.

75 tia 03.17.08 at 11:30 pm

hahaha kitteh’s head is the size of puppeh’s nose!

that’s too presh.

76 Mary (the first) 03.17.08 at 11:47 pm

I thought “muzzlepuff” was the existing term for those ..er .. lips?? (aka muzzlepowshe).? Kitteh looks like she’s already thinking how to take over the Great Dane household.. “ha.. he loves me.. I have him in the palm of my baby paw! 4 evar!”

77 Minya 03.18.08 at 12:30 am

Okay, this just has to stop! I can’t handle it!!!!

I heart Great Danes-and I am loving that at least three ot four kittehs could fit inside his mouth.Plus in the first picture kitteh is all ‘You’re going to lick me again, aren’t you?’

78 kar 03.18.08 at 1:13 am

Hey great dane owners, are his eyes ok? They seem kind of red. Almost cherry-eye looking.

79 Theo 03.18.08 at 1:30 am

Mary(1) — more like “muzzledroop”.

80 Prinky 03.18.08 at 1:58 am

Totally cute!!!

As far as “lip curtains”….sounds WAY too much like meat curtains!!

My name for that part of the dog is the “fritz”, as in “My, that Dane has enormous fritzes!”

81 Pheas 03.18.08 at 2:00 am

@snoopysnake — I immediately thought of Lucy, too. “Get the hot-water bottle!”

Among serious dog peeps, them muzzleflaps is called “flews.”

82 leah b. 03.18.08 at 4:38 am

Thanks Meg for this post today I had to put down my 14 year old tabby today. I know he would love this post because he loved doggies especially big doggies.

83 Kar 03.18.08 at 5:17 am

Leah, sorry to hear about your baby. It’s never easy but it helps knowing that they’re better now.

84 Jane 03.18.08 at 5:39 am

What is it with Great Danes and kittehs? My childhood friends had a GD named “Muffin” who had to be kept separate from the family cats because she tried to treat them like her puppies (i.e., licking them, carrying them around), whether they wanted her to or not.

85 Raemie L. 03.18.08 at 8:17 am

Now a fav ‘I Shall Leek You’ pics. LOLing at the captions and comments.

86 AlaskaCat 03.18.08 at 10:06 am

I like to call them “liver lips”.

87 Gail 03.18.08 at 11:37 am

@leah b—so sorry to hear about your kitteh. Sending {{Hugs}} and snorgles your way…

88 leah b. 03.18.08 at 11:54 am

Thanks Gail, I really appricate that. { HUGS } back at you.

89 Mia 03.18.08 at 1:01 pm

The combination of the two photos is priceless. It’s one of the cuteoverload pictures I can’t help but show other people.
Lol, half or more the conversation here is a debate on lip curtains.

90 Kiragirl 03.18.08 at 4:02 pm

Leah, so sorry!

and, these pics remind me of recent “NADS OF STEEL” hamster and shepard pic.

91 Liz 03.18.08 at 5:46 pm

We call them “hangy-downs.” My bulldog/border collie mix has lovely hangy-downs — they are too, too fun to squoosh around.

92 elliottsmommy 03.18.08 at 7:44 pm

Leah B. – tough, tough thing to do. Prayers to you & your baby.

93 Rowan 03.18.08 at 9:49 pm

Awwwwwww… Awwwwwwwwwww… Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww….
I love it when big doggies show their love for teeny tiny little kitties. (My dog, an aussie shepherd, attempts to make friends with ANY other small animal, save bugs.) In my experience, Great Danes are especially friendly towards smaller animals. My grandma owned a Great Dane, named Lucy, a while ago, and at the same time she had a border terrier puppy, named Gillie. Lucy would play all kinds of games with Gillie, including–I’m not kidding–one where Lucy would take Gillie’s head in her mouth and swing him around in a circle. That puppy loved it!
And to Leah, I’m so sorry… I’ve recently had to put my longtime friend and companion cat of 18 years down. I hope you’re doing alright…

94 Everbound Venvel 03.18.08 at 11:17 pm

I believe that a dog’s lips are called “flews”, actually. And what a adorable pair these two are! I’ll bet that kitten had one heck of a cowlick afterwards.

95 nastassia 03.19.08 at 12:07 am

now thats adorable

96 Theresa 03.19.08 at 12:34 am

Rowan, I think gigantic dogs come in a couple of mental varieties: the ones who are aware that they are huge, and the ones who seem to have no idea. I think a lot of big dogs don’t seem to see themselves as bigger than little kittens or smaller dogs. Those are the 150-pound dogs that still try to cram into your lap.

97 roisin formerly ka9q's wife 03.19.08 at 12:50 am

Everbound you beat me to the correct name, flews. I wonder if they are called flews because they flap like wings when the doggeh runs.

98 roisin formerly ka9q's wife 03.19.08 at 12:50 am

Everbound you beat me to the correct name, flews. I wonder if they are called flews because they flap like wings when the doggeh runs.

99 Daphne Moss 03.19.08 at 1:21 am

This…is…wonderful!

100 ju 03.19.08 at 5:49 am

Sweet!

101 J. Bo 03.19.08 at 11:11 am

“I’m not NOT licking kitties…”

102 leah b. 03.19.08 at 2:44 pm

thanks to everyone wishing me support, Its helping me so I can help the rest of my 4-legged family keep going along.{hugs} to all

103 Jen 03.19.08 at 3:01 pm

When I read “lip curtains,” I knew there’d be a big debate in comments and just had to check them out.

But the reason I’m posting is to say Leah, I’m so sorry about losing your longtime companion. I know that’s rough and you’re in my heart today. Take care.

104 Lisa 03.19.08 at 3:21 pm

The doggie had probably read this artice: http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,91251-1309950,00.html

105 Theresa 03.19.08 at 4:23 pm

Liz, What is a border collie-bulldog mix like? I imagine a dog who alternates between snoring and herding. I once knew a bulldog who lived with a border collie, and the bully constantly looked like he was saying “Dude– chill!”

106 Birdzilla 03.22.08 at 8:48 pm

WE HAD A DOG THAT LIKE TO SIT ON THE CAT THE CAT WOULD GET THE DOG ON HER BACK AND LICK HER BELLY

107 widget 03.23.08 at 5:56 am

@Kar
Some breeds tend to have over-sized eye openings (macropalpebral fissure) that result in lower-lid droop. That may or may not cause a problem; depends on the individual. He/she would need an eye exam to say for sure what’s going on.

108 jenny santiago 03.24.08 at 10:21 am

classic! hahaha!

109 Christiane 03.24.08 at 9:51 pm

Kitteh: Are we playing hide-and-seek? Cuz I haves the bestest hiding place evar!

110 snuffles 05.19.08 at 10:00 pm

OOOOOOOOH THATS A CUTE ONE!!1 i have a pic of a great dane sniffing a baby jack russel……..<3
