    1) Stuffing face – cute!
    2) Barbie shoes – hilarious!
    3) Caption – amazing!
    4) Position of feetsies (i.e. looks like it should be pooping soon) – laughable!

    The combination gives you…

  8. berthaslave says:

    It looks like puffeh is holding his breath and is about to explode from one end or the other.

    The shoes are….well, I don’t get it, I’m a guy. If they had taps, I’d understand, but just pink doll shoes, I don’t understand.

  9. Aesthetica says:

    omg, like, i have to get some of those pink wedges. i wonder if there’s a matching pink hoodie.

  10. Polly says:

    At first I thought they were sneakers, then the double take, wedges! Soda came out the nose….thanks so very much.

  11. taj says:

    Wow, look at how high those heels are! Hammy is a bit of a hoochie! ;)

  12. nicoli says:

    I swear my barbie (as a child) had the same shoes!

  13. nicoli says:

    Also, I’ve been a fan of this site for a while, but does it say it’s possibly spam everytime?

  14. Beth says:

    I cannot DEAL with this hammie ham. I love the little tummy and the shoes! I hope the nom noms give little hammers enough energy to get to the next store!

  15. Subhangi says:

    I hate wedgies, but they look SOOOO adorable on Chmurka! SQUEEEEEEEEAL!

  16. metsakins says:

    Chmurka is saying, all right, putthe barbie shoes on me, but keep feeding me! (and thinking that a mall pretzel would be good about now)

  17. bookmonstercats says:

    Never mind the mall pretzel (whatever that is, I’m a Brit); it looks as though he’s got the mall actually in his pouch.

  18. katiedid says:

    I think he needs a size bigger… one of his toes is peaking out …

  19. acelightning says:

    I don’t think Chmurka is actually *wearing* doll shoes – it looks totally Photoshopped to me. But it’s *CUTE*, so who cares?

  20. That is sooooo cute! :-) ) I have no other words for it…

  21. wagthedogma says:

    Someone should tell Chmurka that wedges are SO last season. Now a strappy little espadrille would REALLY turn some heads on her next excursion to the mall!

  22. gooeyctr says:

    Ohh … those shoes were made for walking!

  23. A thinker says:

    At first I thought this was just another garden-variety upside-down hamster picture…then I saw the shoes…AHAHAHAHAHA

  24. Kari says:

    Hey, that’s such a great idea — take a hamster with you when you go shopping! The ham can carry your purchases in their teeny little powsches!! Of course, they’d have to be teeny little purchases, but who cares? Ham’s so CUUUUUTE!!!

  25. Babs says:

    Hmmm, I dunno about that pink. Ham looks more like an autumn to me.

  26. blair says:

    pimp my ham?

  27. chanpon says:

    Did she have to settle for the pretzel when she couldn’t find the Cinnabon stall instead?

    The most redonkulous of pictures. :)

  28. dailyhamster says:

    I bow before you, Pyza*! You are the master hammie photog. :-)

  29. HURRY UP!!!!! says:

    I am too tall for those wedges. JEALOUS!!!!!
    Hamstress gets all the good shoes.

  30. Caelus says:

    too cute……i’m going to explode…..

  31. jen says:

    insane. this is insanely ridiculously cute. CO are you trying to keel me!!!!???

  32. Courtney says:

    I took a look at some more pictures of Chmurka and nearly passed out from the cute. How is it possible for one hamster to be so cute???

  33. WannaSmile says:

    THAT, is just awesome!

  34. kar says:

    they look almost like sneakers with that stitching up the sides.

    Hurry the bottle, mama
    It’s grapefruit wine
    KICK OFF YOUR HIGH HEELED SNEAKERS
    It’s party time

  35. Jenny says:

    It looks photoshopped to me too, esp in the hand, just doesn’t look right at all lol (like the weight isn’t in it, and the black around the fur is added on) but the boots are amazing lol glad i wasnt the only one noticed the turtle head haha!!

  36. Catsquatch says:

    :snert:

    Those are my friends daughters princesses shoes.

    We were wondering where they had disappeared to.

  37. Marianne says:

    A pink hat and an umbrella would totally complete the look :)

  38. Sharon Wilson says:

    HAHAHAHAHA–Barbie shoes on the ham!

  39. A Hammy Ho!

  40. Red says:
  41. SallySue says:

    OMG…redonk!

  42. Awen says:

    Chmurka is my very favorite hammy of all time, and her mother is one of the most talented photographers of little hammies I’ve ever seen.

    One look at her flicker photo stream will put the Photoshop naysayers to shame.

  43. CaroL says:

    I grow weary of this shopped-not shopped debate. If it were manipulated, does it make it any less cute? I think not!

  44. binky-mama says:

    I dunno….hot pink wedges? A little slutty I teenk…how ’bout some nice ballet flats?

  45. Cheryl says:

    I have to finally ask…what does *bleen* mean????

  46. Argentee says:

    @bookmonstercats – In the US pretzels come in two main varieties… small, hard, brittle ones you buy by the bag at a grocery store, and the big, soft, chewy ones usually bought from a stand in the mall.

    I’d buy this hammy all the pretzels she wanted if she’d come shopping with me! I hate going to the mall, but such a cute ham would make it worth it.

  47. Argentee says:

    @ cheryl – I’m no expert, but… On some websites people rush to be the first to post… well, the word first with no actual content. This annoyed teh CO deity known as teho. As I understand it (And I’m a relative CO Newcomer) the offending word got replaced with the word bleen. And now some people just use bleen to save Teho the effort.

    I now return to my regularly scheduled baby talk.

    Whosa widdlebittyhammi princess? yes you are!

  48. jen says:

    Maybe off-topic, but I think it’s ridiculous that some people consider heels and wedges “slutty.”

    Adorable hammie, though. :)

  49. Golden says:

    @ Blair: Pimp My Ham!!!!

    God that’s funny.. Sorta like Stuff on my Cat..

  50. Carrie says:

    OMG! We had a seriously close call with Chmurka :( poor thing.

    Good thing she’s recovered enough to wear heels!

  51. bookmonstercats says:

    @Argentee. Thanks for the explanation – who’d have thought?? We’ve started to incorporate “the mall” into our day-to-day language, instead of “shopping arcade”, but we haven’t really caught up with “pretzels” and certainly not differentiating them on the basis of where they’re bought.

  52. catablob says:

    Oh my.
    I think we could use a little, er, privacy tail here!

  53. Pyza says:

    Hello, I am the author of the photo. I felt the need to explain the “photoshoped/not photoshopped” issue…
    Chmurka really wore the shoes, they were not added in Photoshop. If you knew her, you’d know that during devouring Tofu, you can do almost *everything* to Chmurka ;)
    But I did alter the photo in Photoshop a bit, I tried to make it more “glamour” in style, so that Chmurka would look like a real model ;)
    Thank you for all your kind comments! :)

  54. michii says:

    I can’t stop giggling…. good thing my coworkers aren’t around, they’d think I’d lost my mind..

  55. JayP says:

    If someone thinks to photoshop pink high heeled shoes on a ham, isn’t that funny in itself?

    Or maybe that ham is celebrating Spring with new shoes.

    It’s hard to figure out what really is going on….

  56. sunnymum says:

    Pyza, “Viva Chmurka” is one of the sweetest mementos created to honor the bond between human and animal companion! How wonderful that you cherish that beautiful little girl so much! I’m so happy for both of you. And, I love the shoes on her, they are adorable, not slutty at all!

  57. Nastassia says:

    barbie shoes?! adoorrrr

  58. tuckeverlasting says:

    hahaha! luurrve it! oh so fashionable. I wonder if my dwarf hammy will wear a pair of wedges :)

    …WOW I am seeing too much YELLLOW!!

  59. harlemgrrl says:

    CO and shoes, my two favorite things

  60. Kar says:

    ok, just when I was getting used to the idea of a hamster in heels.

    She eats tofu? Made from beans with no dairy or cheese tofu?

    She is a cutie though. Almost enough to make me want one. Those lil’l eyes and adorable nose are lethal.

  61. Marie says:

    People…

    You crack me up! I swear! ;D

  62. binky-mama says:

    um….dewds I was just kidding with “slutty” wedges (scampers off to see if red stilettos will fit on kitty)

  63. Kathy C says:

    I agree with Awen – Chmurka is the all time cutest floofy hammie ever! (Even cuter than mine :P )

  64. Annie says:

    Hamster + Barbie Shoes = ham fashion!!!

  65. ariel says:

    hahahahahahahahahahaha
    Very cute :)
