That kitty will be stretching for the US in the upcoming Olympics. USA! USA!

The cat has a “Uh…someone help me..” look on his face in the 3rd photo! The dialogue and the hovertext had me in stitches.

I was going holy “f….” “s…” when I saw the hyperflexibly of cat. I’ll tell you, animals are amazing. Ferrets, cats and hamsters all have me in awe of their contortionist skills. Just awesome!

4 Poohbear 06.22.08 at 6:10 am

THIS is the Meg we know and love! YAAAAAY!!! had me in steetches.

5 debg 06.22.08 at 6:11 am

Kitty can make a question mark with its body. I just make them with my brain.

6 pika23 06.22.08 at 6:13 am

no one Bleen’ed? *looks around* BLEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

and stretch kitteh FTW

7 pika23 06.22.08 at 6:17 am

BTW…Puppeh is not stretching…he is farting. I know thees because my shih tzu does this frequentleh.

She does that butt in the air stretch…and ifyou happen to be down wind…you see her heine wink and this little poof of air and godawful smell depending on wich flavor of cesar she eats….If your holding her and feelthis rumbly near her tummy, set that bitch down quick! fart city!

8 blair 06.22.08 at 6:29 am

i don’t know what that color is, but it is the new avocado/harvest gold/beige

although, if you have to color-coordinate to that dog and cat, it’s all you can go for

and honestly…pic #3? you know the tailio is perpendicular for pure mockery purposes

9 blair 06.22.08 at 6:29 am

sorry…i meant pic #4

totly rulze the tailio in pic #3

10 Malle Babbe 06.22.08 at 7:03 am

So THAT’S why they call it “Downward Facing Dog”… I manage not to toot when I do it though, just grunt.

11 tank 06.22.08 at 7:47 am

omfg what is that it looks like a fuzzy pug!

12 jackie31337 06.22.08 at 9:02 am

I was so sure I was going to scroll down and find that this one was posted by not that mike the other mike, because these epic illustrations and narratives seem to be his style, but Meg was behind this one! Go figure!

P.S. May I suggest cutting down a bit on the epic factor? It makes for a lot of scrolling to get to the cute further down.

13 Annabel 06.22.08 at 9:47 am

LOL this one was super funny – I love the ‘proceeds to break back in half’ in order to upstage the dog one haha!
The dog’s face does indeed say it all….!

14 Gail 06.22.08 at 11:04 am

@pika23: LOL!!! I was thinking it’s good thing this isn’t a YouTube video with sound!! It’s a doggie ‘inside joke’, the equivalent of “Pull my finger!”

15 Theresa 06.22.08 at 11:10 am

What kind of dog is that?

16 Michelle 06.22.08 at 11:34 am

jackie, you’ll have to agree that epic posts are wayyyyyy more enjoyable than epic commentroversies?

Every time I see a pup/kitteh napping together I think of a poem I read when I was a kid.

Lazy kitty, lazy pup
it’s time to be awake and up!
Lazy puppy, lazy cat
to sleep away the day like that!

<3

17 schneke 06.22.08 at 11:44 am

That dog is one of the cutest animals I have ever seen!

18 Hon Glad 06.22.08 at 12:21 pm

The Olga Korbut of the cat world. By the way stop those illegal bleens. There wll be hell to pay when Theo returns.

19 Christy Leung 06.22.08 at 12:40 pm

What kind of dog is that? It looks like a shih tzu and pug mix? So cute!

20 Maybalee 06.22.08 at 12:54 pm

My neighbor has a dog that looks just like that–a Shpug (shih tzu-pug)….is that one also?

21 k. o'dee 06.22.08 at 1:39 pm

Yes, kittehs have springs in their backs. I’d like to see a stretchinks competition with a whippet.

22 David 06.22.08 at 2:16 pm

My friend’s cat can do this Poltergeist thing where she turns her head around to clean the fur on the back of her neck.

/shudder

23 Jorden 06.22.08 at 2:38 pm

Holy Cow-cute pup & beautiful kitty! So very bendy.

24 nads 06.22.08 at 2:54 pm

I love the pups face in the last photo.He’s all “you see what I have to put up with?”

25 chanpon 06.22.08 at 3:04 pm

Ugh – need to correct myself after a full night’s sleep. That’s photo #4, not #3, in my original post (no more posting late at night).

@David – I think all cats do that. At least all mine do. They don’t look quite as extreme as you describe, so maybe you’re friend’s cat is part owl?

My favorite pose though, is when they get BOTH legs off the ground to clean the rump area. It’s an amazing act of balance, 2nd to none.

26 Ray 06.22.08 at 3:16 pm

Yea for ’stretchy-kitty’!, first-cousin to ‘boneless kitty’.

27 april 06.22.08 at 3:33 pm

Come on… EVERYONE knows that kittens don’t have bones. They don’t get bones until their first birthday. That is way they are so bend-y and easily foldable.

28 Annie 06.22.08 at 3:33 pm

Kitty is all this is why cats rule and dogs drool. Cause kitties are extra flexy!

29 Sweet Pea 06.22.08 at 3:41 pm

****
Yay! My pics made it!
The dog is named Ginger and she is a pug/shih tzu mix…and the kitty is named Banana.
Thanks Rebekah for letting me photograph your adorable pets!

30 k. o'dee 06.22.08 at 4:57 pm

BANANA!!! Quite possibly the best kitteh name ever.

Bananas and ginger are tasty together.

31 Titus Heckel 06.22.08 at 5:00 pm

Meg, your captions are the best! Please don’t abdicate your virtual duty to bring the funny to teh Cute. Keep writing captions!!

32 berthaservant 06.22.08 at 6:05 pm

No witty comment here. Just the usual kudos to Meg for telling is “the real story.”

33 jake 06.22.08 at 6:08 pm

Oh great! Now I have to clean the nose smears off of my computer screen where I tried to snorgle the kitteh belleh.

How can you justify posting photos like that when you KNOW we’ll all be going in for the massive furbelleh snorgle? Is it maybe that you own stock in the company that produces computer safe Windex (TM)?!

Honestly.

34 Theresa 06.22.08 at 6:39 pm

A Pug-Shih tzu mix? Sweet Pea, I think you have something there. ;)

35 wagthedogma 06.22.08 at 7:01 pm

Ha! If that were my cat, his name would be “Gumby.” (Pronounced “Gum-beh,” natch! :D )

36 lurkertype 06.22.08 at 7:07 pm

Our tuxie cat is almost 2, but has retained the streeetchability of his kitnhood. The convexity is awesome.

(for old-tyme CO commenters who remember the saga of Tuxedo Junction — yes! TK is almost two.)

37 Lurker 06.22.08 at 7:46 pm

Ooh, that kitteh looks just like my dear departed Mittens. She was a rubber kitteh with pipecleaner arms, too,

38 taj 06.22.08 at 8:53 pm

Kittie is definately at an *acute* angle!

39 Robyn 06.22.08 at 9:52 pm

LOL!These pictures are hilarious!I wich my pets could be like that!

40 David 06.22.08 at 10:17 pm

Hmm, Banana, how apropos; named after the folk song “I like bananas because they have no bones”?

@chanpon: I didn’t know that. It looks kind of extreme to me, especially given my limited mobility in that area :)

41 binky-mama 06.22.08 at 10:28 pm

Quite possibly the cutest kitteh/puppeh combo EVAR!

42 leslie 06.23.08 at 2:03 am

…”Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about!!”

Thoroughly enjoyable & goes in the “truth is stranger than fiction” of acrobatic/ orthopedic theory…
Thanks for a 2 minute grin.

43 Kar 06.23.08 at 2:28 am

That kitten tail is killing me.

44 Reikidolls 06.23.08 at 4:55 pm

I like the fluffy pug a lot. :)

45 youguysrsilly 06.23.08 at 5:45 pm

“…proceeds to break back in half…”
ha!! — Meg, you made me LOLz.
&:o)

46 ThreeCatNight 06.23.08 at 6:26 pm

Pug: “Oh yeah, sure. Go to sleep, why dontcha? Meanwhile, I could use an Advil and some Ben Gay!”
Kitteh: “Ahhhh,zzzzzzz….”
(dreaming of the Summer Olympics)

47 Ray 06.23.08 at 6:52 pm

That cat’s stretch is impressive!

48 Ping 06.24.08 at 4:58 pm

that has to be a bengal

49 Cally 07.07.08 at 2:51 am

That cat is exactly like a smaller version of mine! Adorable. <3
