Nice feather bed! [bleen?]

cute!

That is funny. If he/she gets hungry I guess she has a snack readily available. Ha, I should have said if she/he gets “peckish” instead of hungry….

I tawt I taw a putty tat!

5 cheesybird 06.15.08 at 7:13 am

GET OUT!

(And I meant that in a Buffy meeting Dracula way, not an Amityville Horror way.)

It could hold eight kids, and four hound dogs, and a piggie we stole from the shed,

We didn’t get much sleep but we had a lot of fun on Grandma’s Feather Bed.

CHICKEN PEELOW!!!

8 Lizzy 06.15.08 at 7:42 am

Cheesybird – yay for the Buffy reference!! *throws scooby snacks*

9 Trisha 06.15.08 at 8:06 am

at first I was all…why is this cute?! I can’t see why this is cute the XCU showed me the kitty with the chickies!!

10 cheesybird 06.15.08 at 8:26 am

Yay, Lizzy! I knew there had to be more of us around here! Scoobies of the world, unite! :)

11 cheesybird 06.15.08 at 8:27 am

Yay, Lizzy! I knew there had to be more of us around here! Scoobies of the world, unite! :)

12 Ken 06.15.08 at 9:15 am

A Hostage!!! You Will never see the cat again unless we get all our Demands met!!!!

13 edward 06.15.08 at 9:17 am

I would give my right arm to sleep in a bed covered with chickens. Chickens are great.

14 Carolina2 06.15.08 at 9:32 am

OMG!! That one chicken on the right is using him for a chair!! This is too cute. I was going to say it looked like they laid him, but people would take that the wrong way, yes I know how your minds work around here…oh, I said it anyway.

15 Khadija 06.15.08 at 9:58 am

nice livingroom

16 J. Bo 06.15.08 at 10:03 am

CHICKNS!

17 Lil 06.15.08 at 10:18 am

At first I thought, ‘what are they eating?’…then in the next shot I saw the kitty! I nearly snorked up my drink with laughter!
what’s he doing in there? warmies? Chicken Idol? I need to know!

“Chester’s dream of diving into a pile of chicken nuggets didn’t quite turn out like he hoped.”

19 Katrina 06.15.08 at 11:14 am

It makes one understand why barncats love their jobs. She/he looks so contented, surrounded by friends.

20 Gail 06.15.08 at 11:41 am

Does anybody remember the old Warner Bros. cartoon of the henhouse where there’s a “Frank Sinatra” rooster singing and all the Hens are in bobby-socks and saddle shoes, fainting and saying “Oh Frankie!”???

That’s what this reminds me of……

21 Theresa 06.15.08 at 11:51 am

Gail, of course! There was also a little Bing Crosby rooster. ;)

Those guys in Termite Terrace always had their fingers on the pulse. ;)

22 Theresa 06.15.08 at 11:53 am

PS, A cyber-friend recently rescued a pair of former battery hens. One of her cats would spend all his time with them if he could. He’s utterly fascinated with them, and not in a “Hey, look, it’s prey!” way, oddly enough.

23 Theresa 06.15.08 at 12:03 pm

Cheesybird, it was also often shouted by Elaine on Seinfeld (while shoving someone across the room).

24 Michelle 06.15.08 at 12:47 pm

hahahaha! Barn cats are so…

umm… nondiscriminatory

when it comes to choosing warm bedfellows.

25 Hon Glad 06.15.08 at 1:50 pm

Looks like Chickens ambushed the Cat.

26 chanpon 06.15.08 at 3:43 pm

Wow, kudos to Kitty! As someone who’s all too familiar with the smell of live poultry, I don’t know how he stands the stench.

27 Subhangi 06.15.08 at 6:00 pm

LOL!

28 turbofloof 06.15.08 at 6:02 pm

Must applaud the hovertext… I feel like your inner smartass wanted to go cruder, but held back…

29 Brandi 06.15.08 at 6:09 pm

30 Brandi 06.15.08 at 6:09 pm

I wonder why the italic tag didn’t take. Huh.

31 Catsquatch 06.15.08 at 6:21 pm

I just LAUGHED MY BUTT OFF!

At the comments!

And Berthaservant, thats the same song I thought of too ;)

Oh, and those wondering why the cat is there, chickens, and birds in general, run warmer than humans, so its like having his own personal heated blanket.

32 Theo 06.15.08 at 6:24 pm

Brandi — TypePad comments are plaintext-only. You can paste URLs in, though, without any weird “BBcode” formatting, as long as you leave a little whitespace at the end. For example: http://teho.vox.com/ (simple copy-and-paste from my browser’s address bar)

33 Gail 06.15.08 at 7:39 pm

@Brandi: Thanks for posting the link!! Sure enjoyed watching that!

@Theresa: I thought Der Bingle was in it, too…but I wasn’t 100% sure! Those cartoons are the best!!!

34 marie_n 06.15.08 at 8:12 pm

maybe the chickles are packed in so tightly to the kitty so that the kitty has absolutely no way of freaking out. it’s total submersion into something the kitty fears/loves, but can’t move because there’s no room, so it’s submitting to the hens. these cluckers have been watching dog whisperer.

35 Leslie Irish Evans 06.15.08 at 8:51 pm

Hey, Kitty, know what?

CHICKEN BUTT!!!

36 fifi 06.15.08 at 9:33 pm

why is this insanity not pulling in more comments???
I’m blown away!

37 Lily 06.15.08 at 10:54 pm

The kitty says: “I’m not a scaredy cat. I’m just a little chicken!” *makes a rimshot noise* as all his barnyard peeps roll their eyes.

38 Peyote 06.16.08 at 12:10 am

it’s like in Zelda, when you attack a Cuckoo and all of the Cuckoos in the world seek revenge.

QUICK, KITTY! RUN INTO A BUILDING, IT’S THE ONLY WAY!

39 zerosmom 06.16.08 at 8:32 am

LOL!!! Cats’n'????

40 Chocolate Chipped 06.16.08 at 9:52 am

What in the world? I hope that cat got some sleep that night :-)

41 Kris 06.16.08 at 1:18 pm

Eggggcelent!
Looks warm, smells awful!

42 Lurker 06.16.08 at 3:13 pm

“I’ll sleep with fifty chickens if I want to!” Sounds like Gonzo from the Muppet Show.

When I was a kid we had a pet hen – the three cats were totally intimidated by her.

43 Kaitou Juliet 06.16.08 at 4:05 pm

This makes me think of a comment in one of James Herriot’s books–something along the lines of, “If you want to find the warmest place in a barn, look for the cats.”

44 Jmper 06.16.08 at 4:25 pm

I laughed so hard at the hovertext that my boss asked if I needed a moment (hes a new guy, most of the others know that means I’m on C.O.)

45 Barbarella 06.17.08 at 8:36 am

OMGOMGOMG! ZE CUTE!

Just make sure you don´t get pecked to death in case you make one wrong move, kitty! ;O

46 jax.h 07.03.08 at 2:30 am
