4 Michelle 04.03.08 at 7:48 am

This is honestly the closest a photo has ever come to killing me.

5 Hayley 04.03.08 at 8:01 am

6 Hon Glad 04.03.08 at 8:09 am

Ehn Ehn, you are in my power.

7 Gillian 04.03.08 at 8:23 am

Super cute!

Our bad cat does this same very cute thing. :D

I much prefer the climbing to the anklebiting.

8 binky-mama 04.03.08 at 9:08 am

“I weel climb the Mt. Everest of pajama legs to be in your arms. I MOOOSTE be in your arms.”

FYI: My heart just melted into a puddle

“Im tired from watching all those videos, lets go to bed in whats left of your pajama leg.” >^_^<

10 Jess 04.03.08 at 9:17 am

It looks like part of the pajama leg is his little bedtime hat. Adorable!

11 Electra 04.03.08 at 9:24 am

Oh noooo, it’s like watching a scary movie!

*peering through fingers as the killer creature from outer space gets closerrr and closerrr*

AAARRRGGHHHH!!!!! HAAAAYLP!!!!

12 Jennifer 04.03.08 at 9:49 am

EEEE!!! What a nice pic to wake up to! :-)

13 harlemgrrl 04.03.08 at 10:33 am

aww, who’s little?

14 Creepy Sheep 04.03.08 at 10:39 am

[ahem]

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

[plop]

16 Pinkie 04.03.08 at 10:47 am

Why, it’s the poster girl/boy of kitten cuteness!
Note the big, beautiful eyes – setting a high standard there. Then the soft, whiskered fur around the mouth, and the little, moist nose. The delicate, upraised paw, with the teeniest of claws poking out. And then the KILLER BLOW – the big, furry ears.
*melts*
That, ladies and gentlemen, is True Kittyness.

17 Subhangi 04.03.08 at 10:52 am

SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!

Ehn! I keel you. Ehn!

Beautiful blue eyes, incredible perspective – this is possibly one of the best photographs ever on CO.

18 roxy 04.03.08 at 11:19 am

i gotta say- the baby was not climbing a pantleg, he was swaddled in a christmas blanket! i also wanted to note that my friend zack is the person who took this picture, i just located the kitten.

19 acelightning 04.03.08 at 11:25 am

The earnest expression… the tiny paw reaching out… the blue eyes that match the flannel…

That’s it. I’m dead.
*thud*

20 TW 04.03.08 at 11:39 am

roxy, he’s a beaut! I’ll bet he likes to lay on your neck and purr, too. Reminds me of a catboy I had many years ago. I still miss him despite the others I’ve had since.

21 Shelly 04.03.08 at 11:40 am

I call matchingks because:

1) The eyes go with the blanket.

and

2) The pointy eyebrows match the pointy ears.

Squeee. :D I could really use a cute kitty to snorgle. It’s been a really bad week.

22 katie 04.03.08 at 11:48 am

AWWWWWW to cute

23 snoopysnake 04.03.08 at 12:14 pm

(Celeb Apprentice reference) “Trace got me this shiny black claw polish. I think you should have fired Piers.

I love this blue blue blue eyed kitteh!

24 Theo 04.03.08 at 12:24 pm

*GAAAAAAAHLGH*

ebbeh

um

well I’ll say this… I’ve definitely, absolutely been there… and they GROW, peeps. Kittens do. And their CLAWS grow. As difficult as it (really really) is, you and everyone around you will thank you later if you start encouraging good habits now, so later on, kitteh clearly makes the distinction between legs and tree trunks, once he weighs FIFTEEN FREAKIN’ POUNDS.

25 Nicolletta 04.03.08 at 12:24 pm

Hmmm…I have a few minutes before I clock in…what’s on Cute Overload. Oh look, a cute kitty! Oh noes! Kitty…too…cute…eek!

Great, here it is the busiest day of the week and thanks to this kitty I have melted into a puddle of goo at my desk. My boss is going to have a hissy fit and it’s all CO’s fault!

26 Theo 04.03.08 at 12:25 pm

P.S. — ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ litl climby kitn ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

27 crazy weinerdog lady 04.03.08 at 12:27 pm

nyerrrrh, I wil GIT you!

ACK! so stinkin cute!

28 Jorden 04.03.08 at 12:27 pm

Holy. Cow.
As if that FACE wasn’t enough to do you in, now we find out he is SWADDLED IN CHRISTMAS BLANKETS???

29 metsakins 04.03.08 at 12:33 pm

the only reason why I am still alive is because they didn’t show his belly! However, I keep imagining this little guy on his back his those paws up and the belleh exposed.

*starting to hyperventilate*

30 Theresa 04.03.08 at 12:33 pm

Ah, the feeling of kitten claws going into my leg!! It’s been too long! ;)

31 Yitzysmommie 04.03.08 at 12:44 pm

ACK! I am Ded of the Qte induced THUDS and I haven’t even finished my morning dark caffeinated beverage!
Roxy, that is some fine kitten there. Kudos to Zack for one of the best kittingk pictures I have ever seen in my long happy life filled with kitten picture looking. You have made my WEEK!

32 Babs 04.03.08 at 12:44 pm

Heehee, I love how wee kittayns turn Theo into a blubbering pile of goo.

33 roxy 04.03.08 at 12:55 pm

here’s some more pictures of him to whet your whistles!

::too busy with trying to make this the background on my computer and every document I own to comment right now::

::wink::

36 Lori 04.03.08 at 1:17 pm

I am utterly hypmonotyz-ed by him! My poor cat doesn’t understand why I suddenly needed to snorgle her senseless.
By far one of the best CO posts EVEH!

37 Holy Cuteness 04.03.08 at 1:17 pm

What a gorgeous little thing!

38 skyweaver 04.03.08 at 1:36 pm

*gasping for air*

You know you really should post a disclaimer with posts like this. “Not responsible for loss of life upon viewing of image.”

He looks like he’s a-gonna eat me. Though I think all he’d really get is my pinky toe before he falled asleep from kitty ‘zaustion.

39 thepetmuseum 04.03.08 at 1:39 pm

ohhhh mmmmmm. such blue eyes. such tiny pawsitude. such snorgability.

40 ThreeCatNight 04.03.08 at 1:52 pm

I MUST have the pajamas – I will look so good in them!You are in my power – look deep into my eyes! The power of the mini-paw commands you, human slave!

41 katiedid 04.03.08 at 2:05 pm

awww.. his eyes are so cute!!! I want one!!

42 kar 04.03.08 at 2:14 pm

This is my death gob jabbar. Become familiar as you will see it often.

43 turbofloof 04.03.08 at 2:16 pm

ooooo…. those blue eyes just looked deep into my soul – and all they saw was a melted puddle of my former self….

44 stubbedoo 04.03.08 at 2:31 pm

I iz climbing up your leg and will EAT YOUR SOUL!

45 WannaSmile 04.03.08 at 2:40 pm

Oh ma’ gosh! I love love love dis’ kitteh!

46 Kendra 04.03.08 at 2:49 pm

Soooo cute!!! Awesome picture!

47 blair 04.03.08 at 2:58 pm

he is saying “are you SURE you want to eat that last piece of tuna? hmmm?”

48 marsheeeee 04.03.08 at 3:15 pm

I checked out the picture gallery you posted, Roxy..how old is this little adorable creature? He’s tiny! Is there a story behind these pictures?

49 charliewabba 04.03.08 at 3:16 pm

Thassss right, little kitteh, just keep crawling up here so I can POP-YOU-IN-MY-MOUF-AN-EEET-YOU-UP!!!

50 roxy 04.03.08 at 3:24 pm

the other night, i was getting a bottle of water at a pizza place and i heard crying. i looked down the stairs (where the restrooms are) and saw him down there! i went down to pet him and he immediately climbed the leg of my jeans. he was WAY too young to be away from his mom, and the staff at the pizza place were being super sketchy and saying someone was coming to get him, but i called a few friends and we convinced them to let us take him.

4 of my friends took him in and they are taking excellent care of him! he is about 3 weeks old and can’t eat solid foods (they make him kitten formula and feed him every few hours) or poop on his own yet ! he can, however, purr, clean his paws, make biscuits, and play.

his name is darby, by the way.

51 Karen 04.03.08 at 3:26 pm

Left paw raised… is he a Maneki Neko? Good Luck Kitteh!

52 maggieb_tpa 04.03.08 at 3:26 pm

What a little heartbreaker! I’d love to know the backstory – such a tiny, sweet, adorable . . .

53 Poohbear 04.03.08 at 3:35 pm

Aww, c’mon, Theo, they stop doing it eventually, waaay BE-fore they reach 15 pounds. And in the meantime, it’s so cute. You just have to wear your armored pyjamas and such for a while. One of my little fosters climbed up my pant leg when I was sitting at breakfast, curled up, and lay there purring and shivering, looking up at me with those blue eyes. He was telling me, Mommy, I’m sick! He was five weeks old and had a fever but the vet saved him and now he’s sleek and thriving. It’s me who never recovered. That’s why I’ll never teach them not to climb…

54 Poohbear 04.03.08 at 3:39 pm

@Roxy : thanks so much for saving him! He’s only three weeks? Gonna be a Monster! Might have some Maine Coon in him.

55 Fegli 04.03.08 at 3:42 pm

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! *passes out*

What a sweet wee tiny kitty!

56 riolinda 04.03.08 at 4:05 pm

awww… look at that little face!! too cute! :)

57 Heather 04.03.08 at 4:11 pm

OMG! He’s so CUUUUUUUTE!! I want to snuggle him!!

58 Kali 04.03.08 at 4:11 pm

Those eyes are adorableeee!!

59 chanpon 04.03.08 at 4:34 pm

Cuteness level set to kill. Furry, playful, swipey paw armed and ready.

60 Hajnal 04.03.08 at 4:40 pm

Roxy, thanks for the back story. This is definitely one of the best photos on CO!

61 Melinda 04.03.08 at 4:42 pm

Awww, that brings back memories of my sweet departed Albee bean. He used to do that! Sniff!

62 pyrit 04.03.08 at 4:43 pm

That’s right, they are the cat’s pajamas after all.
Darby is a great kitty name.

63 carololz 04.03.08 at 4:53 pm

I just noticed the perfect M on his forehead! For mushability, perhaps?

64 Tim Visher 04.03.08 at 4:55 pm

That is amazing! :)

How much set up did that take?

65 lurkertype 04.03.08 at 5:20 pm

GOOD morningks little rescued orphink Darby cat, all wrapped up like an Xmas present, here to KEEEEEEEEL us all with TEH QTE.

awesome work, roxy and pals!

66 Theo 04.03.08 at 5:45 pm

Tim V. — if this kitten’s a climber, as he appears to be, probably the only setup that was needed was to grab a camera before walking over close to the kitten.

67 Susan B 04.03.08 at 5:47 pm

That is so cute! Great photography skills Roxann :)

68 berthaslave 04.03.08 at 5:52 pm

Definitely a top ten CO pic. It reminds me of the puppeh in the grass the other day (which is my current desktop image, about to be replaced)…that “Rawr” motion is possibly a new category or rule of cuteness? “Making a ‘rawr’ motion even though you are teeny” is pretty much inherantly cute.

69 A thinker 04.03.08 at 6:18 pm

da face! da FACE!!!

*ded*

70 Mary (the first) 04.03.08 at 6:30 pm

Not to be a partypooper but it’s possible he was just walking along on something with blankie and they took the pic and turned it sideways. Regardless he is (needless to say) absolutely adorable. ALmost makes me want a baby kitten again. :: sigh :: Thanks to Roxy and friends for saving little Darby!

71 Mary (the first) 04.03.08 at 6:33 pm

oh wait.. I now notice the wood floor . Must have been blinded by the delicate claws/whisers and overall cute! So I guess he is climbing.. go Darby, go! :)

72 MaggieBee 04.03.08 at 6:45 pm

I GET 4 U.”

:D

73 sunnymum 04.03.08 at 6:45 pm

The teeeeeensiest of necks seem to be supporting that uber cute kitteh head! This owns me!

74 Desdemona 04.03.08 at 7:01 pm

I know from Roxi’s comments that the blue flannel is not really a pajama leg, but the look on baby Darby’s face gave me a memory of my own Heather, many years ago — She was about 3 months old and frisking about on my bed while I dressed for work. I had just pulled up my pantyhose and stood up, when Heather decided to make a pounce from the bed to my pantyhose-covered thigh. The expression on her face as she gazed up from her hooked-in position (hose plus skin), was a little like Darby’s, but I know she was really saying, “Um, so you think maybe this wasn’t a good idea?. . .” Heather lived to be a ripe old age of 19 before she went to kitty heaven about 5 years ago. But I’ll never forget that incident (I have the scars to remind me).

76 alex 04.03.08 at 7:28 pm

77 Noelegy 04.03.08 at 7:38 pm

I am having a deeply crappy day, so I was in dire need of The Cute. Thank you.

78 marie 04.03.08 at 8:45 pm

my friend’s kitten, roger, does that too, except he gets a running start and climbs us while we’re standing. sometimes, if he’s feeling extra rambunctious, he’ll dig his tiny fangs into the sensitive backs of my lower calves. holy hurties.

79 leah b. 04.03.08 at 9:15 pm

I screamed *AWAAWAAAAAWa
and of course my four legged kids were immediatly jealuos( I spelled it wrong)and then I had to may kitteh new backround image. then spend ten minutes telling my guys I love them the most….. Sir Theo is one funng guy

Roxy, will you give Darby a little kissy from me? What a gorgeous baby! All my furry children are too big for this sort of thing.

89 Jennie 04.05.08 at 4:18 am

Tiger, Tiger, burning bright
In the forest of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And, when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?
What the hammer? What the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And water’d heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?
Tiger, Tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
- William Blake (1757-1827)

My sixteen-year-old cat used to do that when he was little, therefore his name: Edmund. He gave it up long before he hit his current size and took to riding on my shoulder instead.
