Keep that muzzlepowshe flexible!

Seriously, this vid should simply be set on repeat at your desk for a few hours.

Cute!

2 Caitlin 05.23.08 at 4:53 pm

he looks annoyed. which is cute.

3 palooza 05.23.08 at 4:55 pm

My kitty loves it when I do this!

4 Alex F 05.23.08 at 4:58 pm

It reminds me of Brazil…

And he must not be too annoyed, since the owner still has working fingers!

5 hon glad 05.23.08 at 5:05 pm

Those new curtains will be slashed for this.

6 R 05.23.08 at 5:06 pm

He is probably loving it, I could almost hear the purring from here. Yep, that is one kitty who knows the value of a good masseuse.

7 ThreeCatNight 05.23.08 at 5:10 pm

Kitteh is tolerating this, because if he was ticked off – boy, would they know it! (mere Band Aids alone would not help!)

8 riolinda 05.23.08 at 5:13 pm

i’m going to try this on my kitties! :)

9 DKN 05.23.08 at 5:13 pm

The Japanese are at it AGAIN!

They may as well change the name of Kyoto to Kyuto at this point.

OMG…there IS a KYUTO, Japan!!

10 lurkingsmirk 05.23.08 at 5:18 pm

That is a very, very patient kitty. And a very daring owner.

11 lurkingsmirk 05.23.08 at 5:19 pm

Ok, I don’t know if it’s the same cat but you have GOT to watch this other video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a8cdCyIqv8&feature=user

12 hon glad 05.23.08 at 5:27 pm

lurkingsmirk: Cats all, I meant to do that.:0}

13 charliewabba 05.23.08 at 5:32 pm

HEeeeeeee! I love the
stretch and stretch and stretch and hoooooooold and stretch….

14 Ninjin 05.23.08 at 5:32 pm

Wonderful!
I love the kitty’s slightly annoyed face.

15 jmuhj 05.23.08 at 5:42 pm

My cats love to have their ears tweaked. Similar. But not the same.

16 R 05.23.08 at 5:57 pm

This video would be great for Caturday!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGTZoyARvnQ&NR=1

17 Marianne 05.23.08 at 5:57 pm

lol kitteh is like “let me know when you are done with this foolishness.” those look big enough to be hamster powshes!

18 Holy Cuteness 05.23.08 at 6:01 pm

Looks like he thinks: “Oh come on, give me break…”

19 jennijoon 05.23.08 at 6:08 pm

meg! PUH-LEASE. SOME of us east coasters ARE trying to work, thank you kindly! How, pray tell, is one supposed to do that when you go posting uber-cute vids of oddly-cute-distendable-muzzlepowsches like that?? HOW??? :)

20 Erin 05.23.08 at 6:11 pm

I’m going to show this to my cat tonight and say, “Do you see? Do you see how much worse your life could have been? I could be exploiting your supple muzzlepowsche for all the internet to see!”

21 Wrench 05.23.08 at 6:11 pm

My fat cat loves it when I do this — almost as much as she loves having her butt scratched.

Cats are weird. =-D

22 Tony James 05.23.08 at 6:16 pm

It’s great that more people are stepping up to help rehabilitate Felis Fattus Inabagicus (see here for more details: http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2006/04/dry_cleaning_ni.html ).
The problem is that, with global warming, these animals natural predators are dying off, and so there’s no need for them to inflate themselves. But unless the inflation muscles are worked and massaged then they can atrophy, leading to a condition known to scientists as Cattus Deflattus – this means that the Puffer Cat will not be able to inflate if threatened.

The more you know.

23 Tony James 05.23.08 at 6:17 pm

You’ll need to delete the “).” from the end of that link – Mr. Teh-0, can I beg an edit?

24 Theo 05.23.08 at 6:18 pm

Was already doing it, Teej, hang on a sec…

25 Aesthetica 05.23.08 at 6:24 pm

“I’m going to scratch your eyes out in 5… 4… 3… “

26 Tony James 05.23.08 at 6:29 pm

Thank you, sir! :)

27 Theo 05.23.08 at 6:35 pm

No problem.
No Cattus Flatus for me, though, thanks all the same…

28 leah b. 05.23.08 at 6:44 pm

Post bun pic next to a still of this disapproving kitteh see who wins. I think it would almost be a tie but hey what do I know.

29 bubbyscranky 05.23.08 at 6:48 pm

This kitteh would be rolling his eyes if he could. Le sigh.

30 Eastie 05.23.08 at 6:52 pm

I really hate my work sometimes. They block the good stuff. :(

31 amyj 05.23.08 at 6:59 pm

LOL lurkingsmith, that is hilarious!!!!!!

32 amyj 05.23.08 at 7:00 pm

Oops – lurkingsmirk, sorry! Guess I need to learn to read…

33 Meggy 05.23.08 at 7:17 pm

My kitteh likes this too. Especially when I gently pull on the scruff of her neck–she turns into a purring puddle. Kittehs like massages!

34 Kris 05.23.08 at 7:28 pm

In the voice of Phoebe Buffay:
Stretchy cat, streeeetchy cat,
Why are the stretching you?
Stretchy cat, streeeetchy cat,
It’s not your fault!

35 Fat Tabby 05.23.08 at 7:29 pm

Thanks Lurkingsmirk, that made me giggle :P

36 Just sayin' 05.23.08 at 7:35 pm

Ok not to be picky but I thought “muzzlepowshe” was the puffy part of the front face where the whiskers are? not back on the neck which is not (technically speaking) the muzzle? Not that it takes away from the kitteh’s “I don’t know if I’m annoyed or what.. ok you can have 10 minutes to stop that ..prr..” face.

[Well yes. Meg's a little looser with the language than even I am, grumble grumble harrumph kids these days... - Ed.]

37 Caitlin 05.23.08 at 8:10 pm

I… yeek… this disturbs me for some reason. 0_o

I’m not nuffing, just commenting on this video’s strange psychological effect on moi… is there something wrong with me?? halp! :p

38 Kat 05.23.08 at 8:22 pm

I really wish there were an accordion soundtrack to this.

[Ooh, yes, something borrowed from the movie "Amelie" maybe! LOL - Ed.]

39 banana 05.23.08 at 8:24 pm

The undulating folds of skin remind me of a lava lamp.

I’ve never done that to my kitties. I like playing with their “lips” and making them make faces and they tolerate it.

40 Catsquatch 05.23.08 at 8:24 pm

Kittys all “Lissen mang, Im tryin ta CLOSE my eyeballz alreday!”

41 Bell 05.23.08 at 8:31 pm

LoL! that’s funny! I LOVE the “Are you not done yet?” expression and especially that teeney hint of an eye roll right at the end…

42 Juniper Jupiter 05.23.08 at 8:46 pm

SILLEH PUTTEH KITTEH!!

Nobody thought of this yet?

You guys are slackin’! :D

43 fifi 05.23.08 at 8:49 pm

people gotta check out lurkingsmirk’s suggested video, it is heelarious
deelicious
cutilicous
etc.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a8cdCyIqv8&feature=user

44 whiskers 05.23.08 at 8:49 pm

Oh, I love how the kitteh’s all like…what-evah! wtf-evah!

45 burdie 05.23.08 at 8:50 pm

poor kitty looks like he’s trying to blink, but can’t. :(

46 Red 05.23.08 at 8:51 pm

Thanks Lurkingsmirk, haha, that is too cute. I love the paws up action.

47 Shini 05.23.08 at 9:22 pm

Aw, video no longer available. =(

48 chanpon 05.23.08 at 9:30 pm

As an experienced cat owner, I clearly detect kitty-plotting in those eyes.

49 berthaservant 05.23.08 at 9:47 pm

Definitely Terry Gilliam. Or else the Girl in the Radiator from “Eraserhead.”

“In heaven, everything is fine….”

50 Theresa 05.23.08 at 9:48 pm

Those are definitely cheeks. ;)

51 katey 05.23.08 at 10:33 pm

I see Reality Casual Fridays are back!

It would be better with purring, though.

52 binky-mama 05.23.08 at 10:40 pm

I’m so confused….how did the kitteh get basset hound face-folds??? However it happened….I likes it!

53 snorglepup 05.23.08 at 11:00 pm

Didn’t your mom tell you not to make faces or it might freeze that way.

54 Ledi (DeviantART Link) 05.23.08 at 11:15 pm

Okay, that cat? It’s thinking “Sigh….humans. The things I have to put up with to get fed, and loved, and warmed, and cleaned up after…”

55 Decca 05.23.08 at 11:23 pm

Oh yes, this is one of the exercises from the new Richard Simmons workout video, “Swattin’ to the Oldies.”

56 Tash 05.24.08 at 1:34 am

the angle of kitty’s ears says it all! Still very cute : )

57 Katy Hargrove 05.24.08 at 1:35 am

After watching the squishy cat head I randomly found a super wiggly puppy in the youtube side bar.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK70PW6DJzw&NR=1

58 PattyP 05.24.08 at 2:16 am

Ouch! Sore muzzlepowshes… or neck mussculls (muscles) as one make choose.

@lurkingsmirk – best video link evah! Made me giggle and had to watch 3 times.

59 Totalee Puppy 05.24.08 at 2:46 am

Juniper Jupiter-Super!!!!
“As our technician explains
the neck enlargement procedure, please watch the visual demonstration with
our cat-surgi-simulator.”

60 wend 05.24.08 at 2:49 am

Actually, I thought teh cat looked pretty comfurtabls – check its content look at 00:21 =}

61 Squirly 05.24.08 at 4:08 am

This reminds me of my dear, departed boy Sionnach. When I did this to him, he looked like George C. Scott as Scrooge:

Ah… how I miss my kitty-poo.

62 Gillian 05.24.08 at 7:05 am

Kitteh is thinking:

That’s okay. You videotape yourself messing with my jowls and post it on the internets for all your little friends to laugh at.

Just see how many eyeballs you wake up with.

63 Patricia 05.24.08 at 7:59 am

KRIS – I love your Phoebe Buffay impersonation – very good – darn it – I wanted to use that – your comment is the best
along with – what – I shall scratch your eyes out in 5-4-3………….
Such a laugh for my morning – – UK Time – Patti-Time love you all

64 Katrina 05.24.08 at 11:15 am

OK, go back and check out R’s video with the crawfish and the puddy. Crustacean power!
Even though it is Caturday, are you wearing your Caturday unpardonables?
I have a concert today! Woopy-doodles and it is a beautiful Connecticut Spring morning. Thank you Ceiling Cat.
If a puddy-tat has rolls of whatever, where-ever, they should be massaged. To do otherwise would build up the massager’s blood pressure to unacceptable levels.

65 Totalee Puppy 05.24.08 at 11:45 am

KATRINA–Charming as ever!…If the charm reaches
the buzz-buzz-siren-ALERT level, there is a number to call…We’re here for you 24/7…You are
a blessing I am thankful for (Winston is displeased…it should be
“for which I am thankful.”)

66 Tangletail 05.24.08 at 1:15 pm

I feel sad for the cathas its ears back:(

67 Fegli 05.24.08 at 1:27 pm

lmao! I thought this was more hilarious than cute, but good show anyway. The look on the kitteh’s face IS pretty adorable. <3

68 Yitzysmommie 05.24.08 at 1:28 pm

LOL-I think I’ll try this on Yitzy & see how long he’ll let me get away with it.
and ROTLMAO at the other vids, too!

69 Barbarella 05.24.08 at 2:42 pm

WTF? I just tried this on one of my cats, and he hasn´t got any big powshes like that to grab, nowhere NEAR it! That must be quite a fat cat or something… ;)

70 Cyrille 05.24.08 at 2:54 pm

Kitty looks annoyed, like “I will put up with this for now, but the foolish humans will pay later. What exactly shall I leave on their pillow before they go to bed…?” :)

71 Beth Randall 05.24.08 at 3:41 pm

Irritated, yet Adorable! Check out our foster kittens here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/crittercampmom/
They is pretty cute too!! And see all of the over 200 rescued exotic pets on our website too!

72 jazmella 05.24.08 at 4:13 pm

LOL!

“Stop it…stop it…stop it…stop it…stop it…stop it…stop it…stop it…stop it…”. Repeat as necessary.

73 megarouge 05.24.08 at 7:01 pm

It’s Cloverfield Kitty!

74 BriBri 05.24.08 at 7:45 pm

Did anyone immediately think of the freaky acid-spitting dinosaur from Jurassic Park upon seeing this video?

75 Kathleen 05.24.08 at 10:12 pm

Kitty facial time!

76 Katrina 05.24.08 at 11:02 pm

This is clearly a Cheshire Cat and he is having spasms in his smiley-muscles. Physical therapy to the rescue!

The concert today was terrific! All 26 of my young musicians are just the best!
I am such a proud… (oh, heck what am I ?)Administrator!
Classical music will survive to the new generation in my little Universe!

77 Katrina 05.24.08 at 11:09 pm

Where are my manners- Thank you Totalee Puppy and Annie before that. I wonder if Winston has muzzlepouches, as he does not ever smile……atrophy, would be my guess. Yes, Winston, I sure, is a stickler for good grammar.
I wonder what he’s eating tonight-thupka (sp?), that Tibeten dish we were told about before? If coooourse he is licking it off someone’s fingers.

78 jen 05.26.08 at 12:52 am

oh that look at the very end! lol. kitteh disapproval!! kitteh’s so cute and tolerant.

79 A 05.26.08 at 8:47 pm

kitty massage…….AHHH
