Encore Presentayshe: Cutest Kitten in World

by Meg on July 21, 2008

People, some posts are worth repeating. This is one such post. For this encore presentation, I give you "Memebon" the kitten. But you already know Memebon. Because she OWNS YOUR SOUL, THAT’S WHY. Here is the original post

—————-

There are really no sufficient words to accurately describe the proshness you are about to witness. Rest-assured the Japanese [shaking fist to sky] beat us AGAIN on this one. This time with the delectable dollop named "Memebon"

[drum roll]

2 libelula 07.21.08 at 4:38 pm

i saw this before. i should be prepared. i should be able to withstand -

*falls over*

nope, couldn’t do it. she is just TOO CUTE…

3 Acacia 07.21.08 at 4:44 pm

just what the doctor ordered to cure my case of the mondays! sooooooo cute!

4 Noelle 07.21.08 at 4:45 pm

What kind of cat is this? She even looks Asian. What is it with the Japanese and cuteness?

This is such a darling kitty, I have melted from the cute!

5 Jorden 07.21.08 at 4:46 pm

What a crap cat.
No! Thank you for running that again-that kitten is off the charts!!!

6 Berg 07.21.08 at 4:47 pm

The picture with the tiny plastic animals kills me!

7 Deckard Canine 07.21.08 at 4:48 pm

What’s going on with the comments? It says there are five, but I’m getting only two when I click.

8 cheesybird 07.21.08 at 4:50 pm

Eeeeeee!!! Memebon!!! I had this little girl as wallpaper on both my desktop and my laptop for a while (now only the desktop). It was pic #9 on my laptop and pic #5 on my desktop.

9 Jenn 07.21.08 at 4:52 pm

AHHHHH, the cutey baby! I think I still have some of those pics on my hard drive, especially the teeny tiny Tokyo stomping one. ;-)

10 ThreeCatNight 07.21.08 at 4:54 pm

Kitteh Cocktail Cup, complete with pink nubbular pawses to compliment the petite pursed pink mouth (notice the delicate paw motion to the lips, and the way kitteh holds the blue octopus — just too much on a Monday!!! )

11 Erebella 07.21.08 at 4:57 pm

Stop, please, you’re keeeeling me! I am undone by the amazing eensy teensy delectable cuteness of that thing! Holy Roly Poly! The owners of that kitteh must have to constantly look away from it because it’s like the sun – looking at it too long would make them go blind!!!1!1!1!!

12 Archibald 07.21.08 at 4:59 pm

But… What’s wrong with its face? Why are its eyes at the same level as its nose? I’m sorry folks, but I’m opting out of this kitten; it’s slightly too artificial for my tastes.

13 Stephanie 07.21.08 at 5:09 pm

This kitteh just stole my soul!

*falls down dead*

14 (the original) Mel 07.21.08 at 5:11 pm

That’s IT. I can’t take it any more! I have to have a kitten.

15 Nina 07.21.08 at 5:12 pm

It is my humble and highly personal opinion that this particular breed of cat is quite ugly.

16 ashley 07.21.08 at 5:14 pm

that is precious-especially when she gets vocal-now if she would stay that size

17 katiedid 07.21.08 at 5:14 pm

I member this baby.. and her big head too.. awwwww

18 my sister's cat is a blob 07.21.08 at 5:20 pm

I checked out the website. I don’t know what they are selling, but I want it.

19 michii 07.21.08 at 5:21 pm

totally worth a 2nd post. :) Good job, Meg. *daintily pets memebon with 1 finger*

20 scooterpants 07.21.08 at 5:39 pm

would love to see a picture of her and mommy together all grown up.
SO adorables!
I’ll bet they look (almost) identical.
great choice for a second posting of “the japanese handing our ASSES to us once again” :) ouch.

21 cheesybird 07.21.08 at 5:39 pm

Archibald and Nina, I’m not generally enormously enamored of flat-faced kittehs either, (although the ones I know in real life end up getting baby-talked to just the same as every cat) but the unbelievable delicate, eensy-weensiness of Memebon just won my heart and sploded my brain.

22 carmen 07.21.08 at 5:42 pm

**SPLATTT**

23 scooterpants 07.21.08 at 5:43 pm

MSCIAB- what website?
i’m missing something?

24 d block 07.21.08 at 5:49 pm

THAT IS THE UGLIEST CAT I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

25 Kate 07.21.08 at 5:51 pm

This kitteh pictures have made my day. My little boy pepper kitty has come down with a case of worms and I’ve been so sad… but these really brighten the day. Thanks adorable kitten!

26 WickedWendy 07.21.08 at 5:54 pm

Thank you Meg….I needed that after a horrible weekend. Too cute! I could just gobble her all up!

27 wafflecat 07.21.08 at 5:56 pm

Is it just me or does this kitteh look just like Betty Boop??

28 N. Wisser 07.21.08 at 5:59 pm

Want.

29 Aesthetica 07.21.08 at 6:11 pm

since this is an old posting maybe this is a good place to post this: the mick jagger fish taken to the next level (though i always thought an angelina reference would also work with this feesh).

http://totallylookslike.com/2008/07/21/mick-jagger/

30 Aesthetica 07.21.08 at 6:15 pm

okay i just regained consciousness after looking at these memebon (it should just be called “bon bon”, ’cause it’s such a prosh little bon bon of kitteh).

i didn’t even know i was diabetic.

31 Ray 07.21.08 at 6:18 pm

OMG droopy-eyed kitteh FTW!
*__*

32 jmuhj 07.21.08 at 6:33 pm

*unable to post due to being Xpyrd frum QTE KAWAII overload*

33 rowenablue 07.21.08 at 6:40 pm

it looks as if a game of “got your nose” got a bit too serious for this kitty.

34 Klappstuhl 07.21.08 at 6:47 pm

Ew.

I don’t know why, but I just don’t like cats with flat faces.

35 aloria 07.21.08 at 6:52 pm

I bet it makes the tiniest of snuffling noises. PROSH

36 Trisha 07.21.08 at 6:55 pm

is it me, or does she look polydactyl?

37 Jon 07.21.08 at 6:57 pm

Somehow, this cat looks like Russell Crowe. Something about the eyes.

38 China's Mom 07.21.08 at 6:58 pm

OMG! I am now a puddle underneath my work chair!

[Your typing skills are impressive, then... or was this dictation? - Ed.]

39 Theo 07.21.08 at 6:59 pm

:ahem:

Just to toot my own horn, I did all the title tags (aka “hovertext”) on this classic. I was quite pleased with them at the time, too.

40 fansmom 07.21.08 at 7:15 pm

Ahh, so that’s why the bitty-kitty quotes Nietzsche.

41 Erebella 07.21.08 at 7:17 pm

Good job, Teho. I especially like the “hot sakitten” one.

42 catablob 07.21.08 at 7:21 pm

No Jon, David Morse.

The paw licking picture is the worst. Mercilessly cute.

43 Theo 07.21.08 at 7:30 pm

Jon & Catablob — I was actually thinking more along the lines of Betty Boop.

44 Marie 07.21.08 at 7:37 pm

To quote U2:

it’s “Even better than the first time.”

45 berthaservant 07.21.08 at 7:39 pm

Teho, yes, I love the captions. But doesn’t a re-running of the post also perhaps demand some new rollover text as well? I mean, just to give yourself something to do…

People who hate flat-faced kittehs need to take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror and say “what if someone hated me for my face?” Then hit yourself with an iron for being so cold-hearted. Memebon is the shnick and we demand quarterly updates/reruns!

46 nicole 07.21.08 at 7:46 pm

I LOVE HER

I am so jealous of this cat-family. Two exotic shorthairs and a scottish fold. It couldn’t be any cuter!

47 Theo 07.21.08 at 7:47 pm

Marie — I think you’re mixing some Sade’ in with your U2 there… it’s either “never as good as the first time” or “even better than the real thing”.

;)

48 Theo 07.21.08 at 7:49 pm

BerthaServant — to quote Stephen Colbert:
“You make the first one good enough, you don’t have to write another.”

49 Melissa 07.21.08 at 7:51 pm

Looks like she’s been visiting Michael Jackson’s rhinoplastician.

50 RevWaldo 07.21.08 at 7:58 pm
51 Pliny 07.21.08 at 8:02 pm

Hmmm…
With it’s eyes down at nose-level, this animal more closely resembles Stewie Griffin than an adorable kitten.

52 binky-mama 07.21.08 at 8:04 pm

I’d like to request this be posted on a monthly basis. First Monday of every month please. Thank you that is all.

*melts into puddle*

53 Seven Paws 07.21.08 at 8:09 pm

I don’t like flat faced cats either, as a rule, but the little fanned out paws just slay me.

54 Paunchie 07.21.08 at 8:13 pm

I love the one where she’s with the little plastic animules! Look at her teeny legs!

OVERLOAD with all these pics!

55 Jaime 07.21.08 at 8:24 pm

this kitten killed me last time! i love memebon! she is adorables!

56 Fegli 07.21.08 at 8:26 pm

*siiiiiiiiiiiiigh* Love.

57 A 07.21.08 at 8:28 pm

Oh!!!
Look at the little face, and the eyes…..SHHHHH……sleepykitty-la!!!

58 A 07.21.08 at 8:33 pm

Lovely wee kitty…went to the website…..LOL I don’t read Japanese….still…I get the gist of the mum and dad!!!!!

59 dub1 07.21.08 at 8:37 pm

But the rerun gives us one of my all-time favourite hover-texts [fhovers?] I still chant in times of duress to encourage my troops \a la Braveheart:

FREEDOM SO CLOSE/ ME SO SLEEPY
[sorry, really shd've whispered]

60 WannaSmile 07.21.08 at 8:41 pm

R u fur reals? This kitteh is da’ cutest!

61 Shadyman 07.21.08 at 8:58 pm

WTF, teacup kitteh!

And, a family of halloween kittehs?

62 JNO 07.21.08 at 9:10 pm

if there was video/audio of this kitten purring while sleeping it might be considered a WMD.

63 lurkertype 07.21.08 at 9:18 pm

The toes and claws on “MAAHHHM!” kill me.

Calico cuteness!

64 sunnymum 07.21.08 at 9:42 pm

Ya know, I do not care if the Japanese keep handing me my buns on a platter, just as long as they keep doing it. I could look at pics like li’l Meme here ALL DAY LONG! Kitteh looks so vulnerable that I think I like the pics where she’s with her mama the best. This little doll is just too much. MUST. SNORGLE. THE. PROSHNESS. NOW!

65 zeldapie 07.21.08 at 9:52 pm

Memebon and the late Chmurka rank as THE CUTEST BEBEHS EVER!!!

66 amyj 07.21.08 at 9:52 pm

Betty Boop – perfect!

I don’t hate flat-faced kitties – or any other animals – although I like ones with noses that stick out a bit more like my little boy’s (ok, ex-boy). That said, there is no denying this teeny kitty packs a powerful, possibly lethal dose of cute! So small, yet so potent!!

67 The Cat Pimp 07.21.08 at 10:00 pm

I like my kittens with noses, please.

These cuties were at the Oakland SPCA earlier this year, for example.

http://bp0.blogger.com/_3rtYyDtKHfc/Rrl1wy2eHOI/AAAAAAAAADU/3KC6JDcL-sE/s1600-h/kittens2.jpg

Very prosh and silly.

68 BeanSidhe 07.21.08 at 10:07 pm

World Peace Kitteh!!

**pops Memebon into rack, slinks away**

69 berthaservant 07.21.08 at 10:10 pm

I sit corrected, Teho, you and Mr. Colbert are right as always. I’m an improviser so I’m always looking for teh new.

[Oh, touché. So by this you imply that I'm not *original*, that all I have is my little Rolodex of quoteables? I see how it is... - Ed.]

70 jennijoon 07.21.08 at 10:12 pm

day-um, MEG… i mean, WHAT THE? How is the mere human supposed to come through THAT and like.. function??? I don’t have any baby kittehs at home. What’s a girl supposed to do???? (and on that note, thank you sir may I have another?? (say in best Oliver voice))

71 Cara N. 07.21.08 at 10:14 pm

ZOMG SO VERY WEE

72 Hon Glad 07.21.08 at 10:17 pm

Galg, choke, eye bulge, gasp for breath. You do realise, it has taken since April, for me to recover from the previous posting.You have re-opened, a Pandora’s box of devastating cute, that can never be closed.

73 MadameX 07.21.08 at 10:49 pm

Memebon and Mama… At least I *think* they are…

[url]http://blog36.fc2.com/g/goteam/file/080708_04.jpg/url

74 MadameX 07.21.08 at 10:50 pm

Ooops! Let’s see if this time it works…

http://blog36.fc2.com/g/goteam/file/080708_04.jpg

75 Mary (the first) 07.21.08 at 11:06 pm

I’m so sorry but I have to disagree, I am not a fan of the squished-in-face such as Memebon and/or Winston. I’m sure I would love them if they were mine but in spite of their appearance.. not “because” of.. if you know what I mean.

76 Katie 07.21.08 at 11:26 pm

I want that kitteh!

77 LesbianNeoCon 07.21.08 at 11:42 pm

I have to collect the pieces of my head, for it just exploded from EXTREME CUTE OVERLOAD!!!!!

78 greeneo 07.22.08 at 12:27 am

While it is very cute, it has to be disqualified from cutest kitten in the world because it is one of those unfortunate persians who has been bred to hardly have a nose and grow up with all sorts of nasal problems. I just hate that people have done this to persians.

79 syber 07.22.08 at 12:39 am

one word: WANT.

80 Catluvr 07.22.08 at 1:05 am

BEST ENCORE EVER!!! Memebon has been a regular part of my desktop for weeks now. Where can I order one Memebon for myself please?

81 Marie 07.22.08 at 1:15 am

LOL! Theo – thanks! I knew something didn’t sound right! So funny! ;D

82 catablob 07.22.08 at 1:16 am

well, maybe ‘bitty boop.’

83 Steph 07.22.08 at 1:26 am

Without a doubt…..ZEE CUTEST KITTAIN IN ZEE WORLD.

84 claudia 07.22.08 at 2:18 am

Oh yeah! I certainly DO remember widdle itty bitty kitty!! And little blue octopus as well ;)

Awwwwww

85 KendraPT 07.22.08 at 4:24 am

Holy freaking crap, that is the cutest thing EVER!!! The one where mom is licking her, or the one where mom is carrying her and she’s all “put me down”…I think I’ll just die of cuteness now.

86 Molly 07.22.08 at 5:45 am

I think it’s pretty hideous, actually. It’s face is so smooshed that it looks like the eyes can almost look at each other. The mother cat is downright scary looking with her orange eyes.

87 Subhangi 07.22.08 at 6:27 am

Betty Boop is right! LOL.

I wonder how big she’s grown now…

88 Gravyboat 07.22.08 at 6:43 am

This piddy-tat has coined a new term…”smunchable”…whichis smoochy/munchable combo.

89 cheesybird 07.22.08 at 8:13 am

I think I have a new favorite Memebon image: the one with the blue octopus. I mean, the way she’s got all four tiny paws wrapped around it, and has it schmooshed up to her face… *plotz!*

And yeah, Theo, yer hovertexts are still classics! I think “fearsome mutant Tokyo-stomping predator” is one of my fave hovertexts evah!

90 Barbarella 07.22.08 at 8:54 am

OMG. So dead. And have you seen the parents (at least I think the ginger scottish fold is the dad) – they are so beautiful… pics here:
http://goteam.blog36.fc2.com/

91 CornedBee 07.22.08 at 11:00 am

Can’t help it, but I think this kitten is incredibly ugly, not cute. Like a pug, it looks like it ran face-first into a wall.

92 momof2kitties 07.22.08 at 12:07 pm

If Teho can repeat his hovertexts, which, by the way, are brilliant, then I can repeat my comments too.

Oh. Em. Gee.

It’s HRH Miss Mia, as a kittayn. I am immediately whisked back two and a half years to seeing her and her litter mates for the first time. Now you all know how she ended up coming home with me. Who could resist such potent qte? No one I tell you! No one!

93 Debra E 07.22.08 at 12:30 pm

O.M.G. That has to be one of the cutest things I’ve EVER seen. EVER. I’m in love.

94 Shannon 07.22.08 at 1:18 pm

I am more of a dog person but I must admit…that is one cute kittah!

95 Katie Kat 07.22.08 at 2:12 pm

Okay, the first few pics I was like “Eh… sorta weird cute, but not really cute.” Then further down… the picture where the mama is licking little Meme and they look JUST ALIKE? The cuteness just came upon me and I was SQUEEEEE with delight and by the end I nearly *fainted*. OH NOES!

96 Katie Kat 07.22.08 at 2:15 pm

P.S. One caveat… I do have to agree with the posters who don’t like the smushed face though. It’s so sad that Persian owners have overbred that trait to the point that it is dangerous and uncomfortable for the cat!

97 Katie Kat 07.22.08 at 2:16 pm

P.P.S. OOOPS! I meant Persian BREEDERS, not owners. OKTHXBAI

98 Elsa 07.22.08 at 3:30 pm

Say what you will about the breeders, but it sure looks the owner (and mother cat!) care very well for that little cutie. :)

99 jenny 07.22.08 at 3:43 pm

looks like a boy to me…

100 Jo 07.22.08 at 3:44 pm

Careful, cuteness like that can create a tear in the space-time continuum. Does anyone want to grab her and stick her in your mouf? (For safe keeping or something, obviously…..)

101 catablob 07.22.08 at 4:28 pm

Corned bee, looking like
a pug is a big plus!
Maybe even another rule of teh cute.
I propose Rule 5098:
looks like a pug but isn’t one.

102 chanpon 07.22.08 at 5:32 pm

This kitty is now one of my icons so I get to stare at Memebon every day. I <3 the picture of her and mom.

*looks around for my kitties*
[whispers] Definitely one of the cutest kitties I’ve ever seen [/whispers]

103 Robin 07.22.08 at 5:44 pm

Okay….so you have to punish us with this cuteness again?…How much torture are we supposed to take? Sugar toture is dangerous in high doses!

104 j 07.22.08 at 6:51 pm

Isn’t it bad to wash cats that small?

105 Phoenix 07.22.08 at 7:12 pm

I’m sorry, but I think the kitten’s smushed face (as per her mother’s) is just… ugly.
I like the regal, wild look of Bengals over the inbred look of these.
=(

106 David 07.22.08 at 8:15 pm

I had to have someone jump start me after viewing that super cuteness … warn me time!

107 lordofthedead 07.22.08 at 8:38 pm

Why do you keep posting this ugly, deformed kitten? No need to encourage the Japanese in their horrific pet breeding practices.

108 ERI 07.22.08 at 8:46 pm

lordofthedead :

Uh since when is Persian-breeding the sole domain of the Japanese?

If you don’t like Persians, fine. But, must you blur that into some pseudo-racist condemnation?

109 EK 07.22.08 at 10:11 pm

Too small. Put it back with its mother and wait 2 weeks.

110 HappyCat 07.22.08 at 10:13 pm

This is the adress of the owmner’s blog… enough pictures to make everyone happy!

http://www.sakurakodiary.com/

111 Daphne Moss 07.22.08 at 10:47 pm

Good to see such a tiny kitten survived, and it should be pointed out that it WAS with its mother.
I’m also not a fan of flat-faced cats, and I see nothing cute about breeding animals that can’t breath to satisfy some manmade idea of cute.

112 darkshines 07.23.08 at 12:32 am

Not my sort of thing at all, poor thing looks deformed. I prefer squids, polar bears, guinea pigs and Winston.

113 Ketsuekigata 07.23.08 at 1:32 am

How is it possible that there exists such a hideous kitten? How did they make it so ugly?

114 ariel 07.23.08 at 2:45 am

Not cute. Actually rather nauseating.

115 me 07.23.08 at 3:06 am

116 cheesybird 07.23.08 at 5:53 am

@darkshines: You do realize that Winston has the same “deformity” as this little kitty, don’t you?

117 Liz 07.23.08 at 6:05 am

It’s cute and disturbing at the same time, like a pug. D’awww.

118 chanpon 07.23.08 at 1:57 pm

@EK – Umm..that IS its mother. *points to 4th and 6th photos*
Mom and baby and owner (and other kitties) all live happily in kitty paradise.

119 Julie L 07.23.08 at 6:26 pm

ugly ugly UGLEE.

Please, just stop with the smashed-face kitties. Winston (gag!) is quite enough, TYFM.

120 Aelfwyn 07.23.08 at 8:40 pm

SCARY mummy cat. I’d look terrified too if that picked me up – she has two Eyes of Sauron!
But what a kitty. Ultimate Qte?

121 catablob 07.23.08 at 9:11 pm

still struck by the cuteness every time I look. Such a dorky looking little fluffy thing. Gag! Gagged with cute!

122 katski 07.23.08 at 9:41 pm

Every part of me died.

123 McHamsterie 07.23.08 at 9:54 pm

Homely little thing. Looks like someone hurled it facefirst into a brick wall.

124 sirPengi 07.24.08 at 2:13 am

Not that it matters much, but it’s a BOY and HIS name is just “Meme”.

(Memebon is the title of the book)

125 DeuceMom 07.24.08 at 7:48 am

Hi CO peeps! I know Japanese and I figured out a couple of things from her blog. Meme’s (pronounced May-may) mother is Goma, the pretty calico you see licking her. The buff Scottish Fold is Fuku and he’s not Meme’s dad as far as I can tell. I think her dad’s name is Ekizo and he’s another exotic shorthair. The owner first got Fuku, then Goma, then came Meme and her two littermates. I’m guessing the littermates went back to Goma’s breeder and they obviously kept Meme. There are videos in her blog of all three and they will make your head asplode. Meme is now about a year old and she loves to torment Fuku. I think she gets that from her mother, as there are lots of pictures of Goma bonking Fuku over the head. It’s funny how I know so much about a bunch of cats I have never met half a world away.

126 B.Joe 07.24.08 at 8:07 am

oh! Sooooooo cute!!!!

127 Shina 07.24.08 at 12:30 pm

Wow, that is disgusting. I’m sure it’s sweet and all, but it looks deformed, like one of those tumor-like goldfishes. They almost make me feel sick just from looking at them (especially the adult). People go too far in breeding fashionable pets. Just breed nice pets that will enjoy our company. (If this creature was somehow spawned without intentional human intervention, well then nevermind).

128 Theo 07.24.08 at 3:00 pm

On the other hand, Shina, there are those who are ugly on the *inside*.
I’m not talking about the kitten.

129 Shina 07.24.08 at 8:05 pm

Theo,

Someone who thinks that animals should not be manipulated for unique appearances is ugly on the inside? Or is it just people who have different aesthetic preferences (which is all cute is) from you? If not that either, then who WERE you talking about?

130 Theo 07.24.08 at 8:12 pm

OK, let me put this another way: Lose the rudeness, or get lost.

131 andreina&cassie13 07.25.08 at 2:51 am

awwwwwww!
thoses kittens are cuties!

132 Ray 07.25.08 at 12:39 pm

I think the kitten’s adorable.
Ugly or not, it’s not the kitten’s fault, so being so mean is pointless =/

Eeeeeeeee!!! LOVE!!!!

I have 4 little Persian kitties at home, they are all GORGEOUS! All with slight weirdnesses about their faces (especialy little Mumble, her jaw is all wonky) But this kitty is LUSH!!

I think if you don’t like a certain breed of cat, or you don’t like THIS cat, then why comment? Why not go find something you DO like to comment?????

LOVE THE KITTY!!!!
