ONE sit-up a day is Puh-LENDY

by Meg on May 19, 2008

"Whimsey" manages to pull off one sit-up before collapsing into an exhausted pile of fur.

And one, and…

and that’s a wrap, People.

Sender-Inner Melanie F. gives us a a great compliment when she says: "Your site has single-handedly kept me from killing a few people at work". Yay!

8 ashley 05.19.08 at 2:45 pm

hey,she’s doing more than me.

9 Minnie 05.19.08 at 2:45 pm

At least she tried. One sit up really is plenty, especially for one as adorable as her.

10 gizmo 05.19.08 at 2:47 pm

Now, as my reward, where are my kitty snacks???

11 Alice 05.19.08 at 2:53 pm

THIS CAT IS MY HERO. SORRY FOR YELLING I JUST LOVE HER SO.

12 Jenn in IL 05.19.08 at 3:10 pm

That is the most beautiful face I’ve ever seen on a cat. Just gorgeous.

Pretteh kitteh!

13 Annica 05.19.08 at 3:11 pm

I totally feel her pain! :)

She’s so pretty!!!

14 jen 05.19.08 at 3:12 pm

omg, THAT FUR!!!!

what a floppy little floofypuss! beautiful. beep beep the pink nosie.

15 stubbedoo 05.19.08 at 3:13 pm

That is one flurfy cat. Oof.

16 leah b. 05.19.08 at 3:16 pm

I think cause we are calico they have thousands more tiny muscles because of all the colors with their to use and one offical push-up is enough for 3 monthes. But that could just be my distorted thought process.

17 Ermine_Violin 05.19.08 at 3:19 pm

Well, she has done one more sit up than I’ve done since I’ve graduated high school 25 years ago – bravo young Whimsey!!

The floofitude is making me dizzy, and a bit itchy ;)

18 ThreeCatNight 05.19.08 at 3:27 pm

Oh, what a life! Just thinking about my day exhausts me!

19 Desdemona 05.19.08 at 3:30 pm

A Maine Coon, I think! I love the way her little back feets curl in the second pic. Makes me want to reach in and ever-so-gently tickle the fur between the toes!

20 Theo 05.19.08 at 3:32 pm

…is there such thing as a Maine Calicoon?

21 Blossom 05.19.08 at 3:35 pm

Melanie F. I know exactly where you are coming from ;-)

22 AuntieMame 05.19.08 at 3:35 pm

This is the picture you find in the dictionary next to the definition of “EHN!”

23 susan 05.19.08 at 3:35 pm

that fur!looks almost like a plush toy version.

24 Meow 05.19.08 at 3:37 pm

Calico cats rule! They are the union of all 3 cat races: white, tan (gold) and black.

25 Hon Glad 05.19.08 at 3:38 pm

Exercise, forgedaboutit its just my floof showing.

26 Hon Glad 05.19.08 at 3:41 pm

Or alternatively. Sod that for a game of soldiers.

27 Desdimona 05.19.08 at 3:51 pm

LOL, Teho — Maine Calicoon!

28 Bun of the Day 05.19.08 at 3:55 pm

Very impressive poof!

29 Shannon 05.19.08 at 4:29 pm

What a great name!!

My heart aches. I haven’t seen a long haired calico in years. She’s a special kind of beautiful!

30 GH Waite 05.19.08 at 4:42 pm

BEAUTIFUL calico. Wow.

Bonus points for telltale little plastic yellow tag that says, “Oh hai. I’m microchipped!” (Everyone remember to microchip your pets!)

Smooch that belly!

31 Lori 05.19.08 at 4:46 pm

I am one of the people this site has kept Melanie from killing.

I thank you.

32 sunnymum 05.19.08 at 4:47 pm

Beautiful cat! Must take forever to give herself a bath!

I’m a bit giddy right now as I just got to snorgle and huff a TWO WEEK OLD KITTEN!!!!!! The mews couldn’t have been any tinier! All black coat, blue eyes, and so, so, so, so sweet! She was rescued when she was a few days old and so the lady brings her to work and feeds her every few hours. Yesterday was the first day she walked! GAH!

33 kittymom 05.19.08 at 4:54 pm

Kitteh is all, “Oh, hai. I was just meditating about my zen garden here…”

34 Meow 05.19.08 at 5:07 pm

I wish the microchop tags say “O Hai, I’m microchipped”. Maybe I should get one mad.e

35 Nicolletta 05.19.08 at 5:10 pm

What a beautiful kitty! Extra points for TOE FLOOF!!

36 Tony James 05.19.08 at 5:21 pm

For those confyoozed, this is clearly not a wrap – wraps are generally less fluffy than this.

In culinary terms, it is correctly referred to as a Floofrito.

37 Space Cowgirl 05.19.08 at 5:32 pm

Goodness, is that a cat or a calico-print flokati rug?

What a cutie.

38 leannrose 05.19.08 at 6:14 pm

And I thought my calico was fluffy!

That would be awesome if this cat were Maine Calicoon. [Teho, you rock!]

39 chanpon 05.19.08 at 7:06 pm

LOL! This looks exactly like my all black kitty, who does this on my all black couch. Always watch where you sit when you come over to my place.

40 lurkertype 05.19.08 at 7:10 pm

My beautiful floofy tortie-with-white girl is in this position right now. Stretched out on her back on the window shelf, white tummy up, paws everywhere. And microchip tag showing.

She’s not this floofy, though. This is def. a Maine Calicoon. You can tell by the toe floof, and the way the chest fur rumples.

41 berthaservant 05.19.08 at 7:36 pm

While I admire the floofiness, I’m just thinking about the poor soul who probably is going to be combing out that floofiness as the summer months heat up and the assorted floofy hairballs that kitteh probably likes to share.

I shouldn’t talk, my hair is pretty wild these days, too.

42 Michelle 05.19.08 at 7:40 pm

That coat is amazing!

43 jmuhj 05.19.08 at 7:59 pm

This cali beauty is GORGEOUS!!!

44 jen 05.19.08 at 7:59 pm

note the ginormous tufts of fur between her back toesies!! gah!!! nohm nohm nohm

45 yankeebird 05.19.08 at 10:04 pm

Heh, a Maine Calicoon. That’s funny – I have two cats, a Maine Coon and a Calico. No Calicoons on the horizon though since they’re both spayed (and microchipped, yay!) femcats.

Oh, and you’d never get my Calico on her back. She hates it. But my Coon loves sitting “Playboy” like that.

46 Marjorie 05.19.08 at 10:11 pm

Awwww, Whimsy was my late Aussie’s name! Kitty here is gorgeous!

47 CO-Luva! 05.19.08 at 11:07 pm

I just felt an EXTREMELY large urge to stuff my face into that belleh! Show of hands, how many peoples cats do sit ups? Yeah, I thought so.

48 Gail 05.19.08 at 11:18 pm

Teho you are a great name-r!!

49 Gillian 05.20.08 at 12:57 am

OMG. Whimsey is what you would get if you crossed our Phoebe (Calico) with our Mojo (DLH).

50 behka 05.20.08 at 3:57 am

that kitty is so prettily marked. luuuuuuuuve it.

51 mrowbecca 05.20.08 at 6:07 am

That is a guinea pig / cat hybrid. The fur in every direction gives it away!
Do asorable.

52 Addis 05.20.08 at 11:31 am

What a beautiful coat !!!

53 Katrina 05.20.08 at 11:43 am

Whimsey has whorls. It is a good day when one can say ‘whorls’.

54 momof2kitties 05.20.08 at 1:24 pm

Mia looks just like this. She’s half purebred Persian, dilute calico, and half black DSH. And, yes, I stuff my face into her belleh floof often. And yes, teh clawzez of deth come out. But it’s so worth it. And she has massive toe floofage also!

55 Audrey 05.20.08 at 8:32 pm

I have a Maine Coon, too. At least, we’re very sure, because he was adopted from an animal hospital. Except mine is tan and white. He loves lazing around on his back like this.

56 Subhangi 05.21.08 at 4:51 am

Maine Calicoon Whorls sounds about right! Pwetty kitty.

57 Melanie 05.24.08 at 2:48 am

Hey! My name in Melanie and I have a cat that looks almost exactly like that! Wierd.
