I don’t think this is a calico. But still verrrrry cute!

2 Ninjin 04.18.08 at 11:39 am

One portion of that please!

3 RG 04.18.08 at 11:43 am

Sweeeet! But that’s a tabby cat, not a calico.

Tabby, calico, who cares? It’s the earsies, peeps, the ears!!

*resists urge to bury face in kitteh fur and inhale deeply*

*fails*

*looks for Mia for a snorgle*

It’s my opinion this is probably a tabby. It’s also my opinion that it certainly is cute!

6 violetgreen 04.18.08 at 12:05 pm

Well, IMO, this is not a kitteh puddle but a beaded-up droplet of kitteh.

7 TJ 04.18.08 at 12:12 pm

I see three colors- that’s a calico. A little calico pudding cup. Reminds me of the cartoon where the dog is hiding the kitteh by using him as a powder puff.

the appropriate response to “phenom-meh-nah” is “Dee dee de-de-de” (in sing song voice of course).

I wonder if April Showers bring Calico puddles!!

10 Kris 04.18.08 at 12:36 pm

In our house, it’s “Do Dooo, da doo doo…” ;-) (We have dogs, so that might explain it it…hee!)

Oh, and very cute kitty!!!

I name him Charlie Chaplin with his big featherpants, splayed feets and wings that look like a baggy jacket …. I can imagine him waddling along and looking quizically at the world around him. I lub him.

13 Ann 04.18.08 at 1:04 pm

one of my personal favorites. I don’t know about you guys, but I could totally go for a swim in that delightful kitteh puddle!

14 Theresa 04.18.08 at 1:13 pm

You can’t fool me– that’s a Mini-Monorail Cat.

Monorail? Monorail!

15 Peter 04.18.08 at 1:14 pm

According to Ben Stein, the mainstream scientific community believes that life began when lightning struck a kitteh puddle.

16 Tyger 04.18.08 at 1:23 pm

purrfect peace

20 Fegli 04.18.08 at 2:07 pm

I remember this from when I first started perusing CO. The blobulence is killer.

21 Poohbear 04.18.08 at 2:14 pm

Kitteh pudding ! *nom-nom*

22 mtnfireprincess 04.18.08 at 2:30 pm

Adorable. But a tabby cat. Not a Calico. Calicoes have large blotches of pure colour. (I’ve had beautiful calico cats in my life since I was born. I suppose I’m a calico snob XD )

Though with it’s amount of cuteness I say it it multiplied because it’s a tabby and therefore not as stereotypically cute as other coloured cats. It makes up for it in those delightful ear-tuffs.

23 ThreeCatNight 04.18.08 at 2:51 pm

If this is a kitteh puddle, then I don’t mind singin’ in the rain!

24 Pink Kitty 04.18.08 at 3:02 pm

Kitteh loaf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

25 writtenwyrdd 04.18.08 at 3:04 pm

I had one of these babies for sixtten years and the term that always got used was ‘calico tabby’ because she was both. Big white splotches and mottled brown/grey/black tabby. It sort of stops the argument from both sides.

26 Annie 04.18.08 at 3:19 pm

Actually maybe a tabby or maybe not it actually could be a (Torby?? I always get these confused.)
it is both a calico and tabby combined.

they look like a mix of an orange and brown tabby with splotches of each all over their body

Here is a picture of Magneato

And another one, Miss Huggums who is metsakins kitty.

But maybe some one with a more clear understanding of them could chime in.. I think once some one posted a link to a discription of the cat colors and all their presentations .

phenom-meh-non please (singular, not plural)

28 Annie 04.18.08 at 3:21 pm

writtenwyrdd JYNX!!! HEhehehe

29 Theo 04.18.08 at 4:23 pm

SMFR — since this is basically a duplicate post, I’d say “phenomena” works.

;)

30 kk3 04.18.08 at 4:30 pm

It made me gasp with delight when I saw him/her!

31 Leilani 04.18.08 at 4:48 pm

‘Tisn’t a kitteh puddle: ‘Tis a CATerpillar!

32 mary ellen 04.18.08 at 5:00 pm

I think that might actually be a type of persian called “shaded golden”. it’s hard to tell though because its eyes are closed, and they have characteristic crazy huge green eyes. click on my link to see an example.

33 Kris 04.18.08 at 5:20 pm

Could a calico and a tabby be a Cabby?? Heee!

34 NTMel 04.18.08 at 5:36 pm

OMG! Thx Kris for the muppet link! I have a compulsion to “doot dooo da-do-do” every time I hear the word phenomena just because of those fuzzy fellas!

35 Horsegirrl 04.18.08 at 5:43 pm

This is one of my very favorite posts! Thank you soooooooooooo much!

36 Theo 04.18.08 at 5:59 pm
37 Pearl Ostroff 04.18.08 at 6:38 pm

Torbie. Great. Thanks Theo. My kitten, Cleo, is one of those. Samantha, a cat I had many years ago, was also one, with a lot of white.

The kitten in the picture is enough to make one melt.

38 binky-mama 04.18.08 at 7:15 pm

It looks like you would need a spatula to pick this kitteh up. And a non-stick pan.

39 secretlyindian 04.18.08 at 7:30 pm

Those sweet little closed eyes! Ahhhhhhh…

(Hahahaha @ tribble!)

40 chanpon 04.18.08 at 8:06 pm

Oooh, It’s the wooly kittapillar! I’ve seen this before, and makes me “awww” every time.

41 sarah 04.18.08 at 10:34 pm

I think you’ll find it’s a patched tabby or torbie and is very cute!!!

42 berthaservant (no longer berthaslave) 04.19.08 at 12:48 am

Just for the record (because I am a NERD):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mah_N%C3%A0_Mah_N%C3%A0

The song was from a Swedish film, and first performed by the Muppets on the Ed Sullivan Show (and later on Sesame Street) before being revived for the first episode of the Muppet Show.

And it’s not Animal who sings it (though the guy has wild hair that kind of looks like Animal’s).

I wish I were this kitteh.

43 bev 04.19.08 at 2:03 am

It’s a tortotabipointico!!

And now, for you genetics nerds, the reason why those girlcats are so cool: http://www.messybeast.com/tricolours.htm

44 itsmemom 04.19.08 at 2:28 am

45 dacoffeeshakes 04.19.08 at 3:55 am

48 octochan 04.19.08 at 4:55 pm

ooo, I see the Tarepanda line has been expanded! Tarekitteh, I like it!

49 flowerfanatic 04.19.08 at 5:12 pm

I raised and showed Persians for 25 years. This is a brown patched tabby. The white muzzle shows it’s a true tabby.

50 Zee 04.19.08 at 6:15 pm

Oh kitteh! I would mop yew up ANYtime!

51 Totalee Puppy 04.19.08 at 6:34 pm

JENBEN–Sorry to hear that
you are in recovery from
surgery–Hope Kitten Puddle will help you feel better. Lots of Kitten Cuddles are on the way to you–Take two in the morning and two in the PM.
Give yourself all the care
you deserve…

Kitteh-shaped melon bread. What will the Japanese think of next?

I just had to read through the comments. The “Mahna Mahna” vid woke me up (it’s bedtime here) – I love that song! XD

53 Theresa 04.20.08 at 3:44 pm

Speaking of Mahna-mahna- does anyone remember those critters that sang the “doo-doo-do-doo-doo” part? Wow!

54 meganfay 04.20.08 at 9:42 pm

whether tabby or calico, it’s a puff-ball mushroom!

55 A 04.20.08 at 10:25 pm

Shhhhhhhh….

Sleepy time!

SHHHHHHHHH.

56 rubber duck 04.21.08 at 2:02 am

I know this one under the title “THE MONORAIL CAT IS OFFLINE FOR MAINTENANCE.”

And it’s cuuute.

57 trie_squid 04.21.08 at 3:49 am

It’s the kitten-version of the Face of Boe!

58 Totalee Puppy 04.21.08 at 4:25 am

No one’s going to like me for this, but the shape is a little like Jabba the Hud…there the resemblance
ends…If ol Jabby had been beautiful like our kitteh, I would have enjoyed that movie a whole lot more…

59 Theo 04.21.08 at 8:38 pm

Capt. Jack for the win, Trie_Squid.

(notice that I actually spelled it out)
