I dunno, I think you miss something without the “I’m king of the world so I’ll sleep wherever I want” shot of the kitteh.

But boy, that’s a lot of hair.

Oh, and [MILITARY-GRADE BLEENSICLES].

2 Acy 03.25.08 at 5:42 am

So bleen!

3 warrior rabbit 03.25.08 at 6:16 am

5 eikoleigh 03.25.08 at 7:59 am

6 berthaslave 03.25.08 at 8:53 am

“What? No COXCU?”

Not sure how this one snuck in here, but I’m up waiting for the first baseball game to start and this is poifect!

7 kk3 03.25.08 at 11:29 am

That ain’t noth’n! I should submit a pic of Emma’s fully furry foot! Oh my!

8 anastasiaK 03.25.08 at 12:03 pm

‘Round these parts we calls them “Toe Feathers.”

9 Drude 03.25.08 at 12:34 pm

Wheyyyy it’s King Ping’s toe floof. I recognize those jellybeans!!!!

10 chanpon 03.25.08 at 12:49 pm

That’s my little Tomo’s toesies too! As cute as it is, it’s also a hazard, because poor kitty gets almost no traction. How many times have I seen my poor little fluffy-pants skid into dishes, sinks, floors, etc.? Does nothing for his little ego.

11 nancy 03.25.08 at 12:49 pm

HAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!! Delectubuhls! Pass the dipping suace!a

12 Melinda 03.25.08 at 1:05 pm

nom nom nom, pttthhhh, nom nom nom

13 AuntieMame 03.25.08 at 1:27 pm

Yay! It’s Ping toes! I knew I’d seen that sparkly clean floof somewhere!

14 Katrina 03.25.08 at 1:37 pm

It happens on Corgitoes,too.
Thank goodness they rhyme with Doritoes, at least I can snack on something.

15 Babs 03.25.08 at 2:01 pm

Yeah, chanpon, I wondered if it makes kitteh’s footing a bit slippery. Too bad, cuz it really is rokkin’.

16 LN 03.25.08 at 2:01 pm

My little Simon has hairy toeseys like that too!! Whee!!

17 Kucing 03.25.08 at 2:56 pm

Thanks for that great and inspiring post…looking forward to be here again reading more stuff…;)

18 Beth E. 03.25.08 at 3:43 pm

We call them “Tufty Feet”. They tend to accompany “Tufty Ears”, and my best friend’s cat has both. She’s probably got a bit of Maine Coon in her.

Lurv teh fuzzy feetz.

19 DKN 03.25.08 at 3:45 pm

Yay! Ping toes! My flavorite…*nom nom nom*

20 Desdemona 03.25.08 at 3:49 pm

Yeah, my Maine Coon has the hairy toes. I’ve often wondered if that wasn’t a bit uncomfortable, to walk around with hair between your toes. But I guess it’s what you’re born with.

My Maine Coon differs from others of his breed in that he doesn’t want to have anything to do with going outside, especially when it’s cold. I’ve tried to explain that’s why he has snowshoe feet, but he is unimpressed. Curling up on his favorite pillow (or lap) is his preferred activity. From the little bit I can see, looks like that’s the story with this kitteh, too!

21 kk3 03.25.08 at 4:10 pm

Yep, Emma is a Maine Coone too…TONS of fur between the pads of her feet/toes. No traction! When she goes running around a corner it causes her legs to keep going straight!!

22 twig 03.25.08 at 5:04 pm

snowfeet!

23 peep 03.25.08 at 6:19 pm

canna dalk…goss kitteh feeds en mouf….

24 Melinda 03.25.08 at 6:58 pm

My Maine Coone mix Henry has the fluff between the beans, too. I love to tickle it, much to his dismay, because he kicks me when I do so, but it’s absolutely irresistable!!

25 gertru 03.25.08 at 7:04 pm

how cute! :)

26 BipolarLawyerCook 03.25.08 at 8:37 pm

When I steal the neighbors’ cat just to SNORGLE PADS, just be aware the DA may subpoena your site records to see if I’m telling the truth, when I say “Cute Overload made me do it!”

27 Jan 03.25.08 at 9:10 pm

Those are called step-on-a-spider paws. Everyone knows that. By the way, it’s spelled minuscule, not miniscule. Yes, I’m an editor.

28 lurkertype 03.25.08 at 9:18 pm

KING PING!

All hail His Majesty He-Ping Miao!

I’d recognize those tufty toes anywhere.

Anyone who doesn’t know all 7 of the Miao Brothers is missing out.

nom nom nom.

29 previouslydoodle 03.25.08 at 9:26 pm

did someone just open up a bag of dori-toes?

30 lurkertype 03.25.08 at 9:32 pm

BTW, for those who don’t know him, Ping here isn’t a bit Maine Coon, though you’d think it from the toes.

He’s from northern CHINA.

He’s a mighty tiger.

(see little miao’s Flickr for more pix of King Ping and his equally-handsome younger brothers.)

31 little miao 03.25.08 at 9:36 pm

My Ping paws! :D

32 Clare 03.25.08 at 9:41 pm

We REALLY need to have ‘toebeans’ in the Glossary.

*cheesy PLEEEZ?! grin*

33 TexIrishRose (in Austin,TX) 03.25.08 at 9:45 pm

Looks like this kitteh’s got a bad case of “Hairy-toe-sis.”

34 diana 03.25.08 at 10:56 pm

HIRSUPOD! HIRSUPOD!
That’s what we call it ’round here!

35 Girlnextdoortn 03.25.08 at 11:16 pm

My Bear has tuftytoes! The toefur was literally about two inches long before I felt sorry for him having to groom it and I cut it much shorter.

36 Xenobiologista 03.25.08 at 11:27 pm

My cat’s got snowshoes and she needs them. I walk her outdoors in the winter ’cause we’ve got a tiny apartment and she goes nuts. It’s surprising how long she can stay out before wanting to go back in.

37 Lauri 03.26.08 at 2:24 am

Three cheers for King Ping’s Jelly Bings!!!

Huzzah, huzzah, fuzzah!!!

You and the King are the BEST, littlem!!!

38 Indy's Mom 03.26.08 at 3:08 am

All Hail King Ping! I’d recognize those pristine pink toe pads anywhere… Yay!

39 Subhangi 03.26.08 at 4:13 am

Wheeeee! It’s our very own Royal Marmalade Jelly Beanses! All ye faithful, bow to the Mighty Ping!

40 KentuckyGurl24 03.26.08 at 4:29 pm

I know the that jelly beans are amazingly adorable and super floofy, but if you close in the first one way in the back you can see a very cute little pink snozzle.

41 KentuckyGurl24 03.26.08 at 4:30 pm

OOPS I left out look.

42 Annie J 03.27.08 at 7:17 am

So…cute, clean, and PINK! *faints from CO*

43 Carlisa 03.28.08 at 9:58 am

I think Ping should do a Pantene shampoo commercial. Way to go, Little Miao!

44 morgat 03.29.08 at 3:10 am

I’m late to the party (yet again), but I just had to comment on Ping’s wonderful paw floof!!! (And draw attention to the fact that the second picture bears a remarkable resemblance to Santa Claus’s nose.)

Yay Ping! Yay Little Miao!

45 Dar 04.05.08 at 9:27 pm

How ’bout hairy “jelly beans”…the pads looks like pink jelly beans! Hah!
