How to Solve a Catsaw Puzzle

by Not That Mike The Other Mike on June 27, 2008

Forget Scrabulous. Forget Scramble. It’s all about Catsaw puzzles.

Start with one of the pieces near the edge, and work your way into the center.

Eventually, all of the pieces should fit together snugly, like this:

Seems that the kitten on the right enjoys the smell of feets X3

Make sure to flip all the kittehs over so they’re facing upward.

Darnit! I think I’m missing a piece.

Cheesybird: I have your missing piece…and I’m not giving it back! :-)

5 Ray 06.27.08 at 4:12 pm

Aww. I just noticed the kitty’s smile =3
It looks so content and happy.

Momof2kitties, is it the marmie piece that I’ve been looking for? Or the calico piece?

Please can I have it back? Please please please? Otherwise I’ll never finish the puzzle.

9 sheepy 06.27.08 at 4:38 pm

10 kmira 06.27.08 at 4:39 pm

I love the grey kittehs Marmie bits.

11 Georgia 06.27.08 at 4:40 pm

Marmie bookends….I need a set for my office and the calico kitty book in between. sigh.

12 catablob 06.27.08 at 4:41 pm

13 momof2kitties 06.27.08 at 4:47 pm

I’ll give it back in exchange for a pa-sickie. Marmie flavurz plz.

14 Jennifer 06.27.08 at 4:48 pm

…man, I need to get my house set back up for kitten fostering, STAT.

15 cheesybird 06.27.08 at 5:00 pm

Seems a fair trade. One marmie pa-sickie comin’ right up!

16 Erebella 06.27.08 at 5:03 pm

Oh gosh, double marmie hit, plus a tiny bit of marmie mixed into the middle kitteh. Berthaservant is gonna wet himself.

17 momof2kitties 06.27.08 at 5:12 pm

Yum. Tastes like marmie.

NQ!

@Cheesybird– wait– what– you’re *regurgitating* it?

19 Theo 06.27.08 at 5:37 pm

Have fun!

21 leannrose 06.27.08 at 7:08 pm

*runs in out of nowhere*
*grabs middle, snickerdoodle kittch*
*runs away laughing*

22 berthaservant 06.27.08 at 7:12 pm

Oh nose, Leannrose has taken one of the pieces of the puzzle! Well, I guess these two marmies aren’t doing anyone any good, so I’ll just take them over here…..no one wants a broken puzzle, you know….(makes a break for it w/ a marmie in each pocket)….

23 meowandwoof 06.27.08 at 7:50 pm

good for you, berthaservant, it’s about time!

24 Theo 06.27.08 at 7:53 pm

This one’s for B-Serv: http://tinyurl.com/5fmte7

I almost couldn’t tell they were marmies in the first pic, but really very obvious upon further examination. Intensive, snorgariffic examination.

I miss my marmie boys :( , but I have no space for 3 cats right now, so I make do with one who is a tux lad.

26 Theo 06.27.08 at 8:04 pm

Foxy: “snorglicious” ;-)

(alternately, try “snorglastic” or even “snorgleeful”)

27 leannrose 06.27.08 at 8:48 pm

Aha! So my plan worked and Berthaservant got his marmies!

Okay, so I had no plan, I just really wanted the one in the middle. At least you have kittehs…my calico’s 1700 miles away and I can’t get any in my current living space. :(

28 berthaservant 06.27.08 at 9:45 pm

Thanks Teho, I’ve checked that many times. It almost happened a couple of weeks ago, but I had to pay to get the A/C in my car fixed, and now I’m teaching again, so my schedule is wonky. It’s not just the kind of thing I can pick up on the way home at any old time, unfortunately.

29 leslie 06.27.08 at 9:57 pm

How adorable can adorable get?

30 Theresa 06.27.08 at 11:29 pm

More marmies have homes– a cyber-pal just took home a couple of 12-week-old orange kitten brothers! Yay!

31 julz 06.27.08 at 11:29 pm

Was it just me, or did anyone else hear the tetris music playing when they saw this picture?

32 chanpon 06.28.08 at 3:03 am

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Clearly the pieces only fit all snuggled in my lap.

33 foxy 06.28.08 at 3:21 am

Teho

Maybe snorglriffic? (OK, really just seeing how many consonants I can use in a row, and still have it make sense)

Or, how about, oh, I don’t know snorglecalifragilisticexpialidoceous?

34 blair 06.28.08 at 3:18 pm

i have a theory, that i have, which is mine, and that is this:

cats like to sleep together

35 Theo 06.28.08 at 4:36 pm

See? SEE? Monty Python shows up AGAIN! Gyahhhh!!

;)

36 Monique 06.28.08 at 6:50 pm

this makes me remember how much I need to get 3 kittens that are all the same size!

37 Subhangi 06.29.08 at 7:14 am

Kaboodular!

38 ThreeCatNight 06.29.08 at 7:13 pm

Those interlocking kittehs need just one more component to complete the puzzle (I’ll be happy to provide one orange-and-white one, for a punch of color)

39 nikkiemeh 06.30.08 at 9:59 am

hmmmmmmmmm, love it :-p
