<3 <3 <3

Even just looking at the video without playing it, I KNEW this was Katamari of omgkitty.com fame. And then I looked into it and bam. It’s her.

She’s still cute!

7 neko 08.06.08 at 1:11 pm

Without playing the video, I knew this was Katamari from OMGKitty! She’s so adorable <3

8 Leenk 08.06.08 at 1:13 pm

wow, having watched 2 hours of “I survived a Japanese game show” last night, and then this video this morning, I’m going into Japanese Overload… *maniac grin with peace sign*

9 Lurker 08.06.08 at 1:13 pm

0:50 – Nomming the grass!

My dear departed Mittens was a crotch-sleeper. You could shove her away a thousand times, but that’s where she’d be when you woke up.

10 WannaSmile 08.06.08 at 1:21 pm

simply adorable:)

11 TW 08.06.08 at 1:21 pm

I was surprised to see that it wasn’t a Japanese woman singing…that actually was Connie Francis! From wikipedia: “Francis remade many of her hits in foreign languages, including ‘Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool’ and her signature song, ‘Where the Boys Are’. Francis recorded in thirteen languages throughout her career: English, Greek, German, Swedish, Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian (and its dialect Neapolitan), Hebrew, Yiddish, Japanese, Latin and Hawaiian.”

Calicos rule – Looks like our Samantha when she was small- the big eyes kill me

13 cowdoctor 08.06.08 at 1:33 pm

creapy

14 nicole 08.06.08 at 1:37 pm

awwwweeee! I THOUGHT that was Katamari from OMGkitty! Then of course you watch the vid and giggle with glee about the atrociously cute little face that is Katamari, the itty bitty little Scottish fold who you just want to snorggle :D

15 Erebella 08.06.08 at 1:39 pm

I’ve been mortally wounded by the deadly QTE! I’m fading fast……….oh, the humanity………..mommy……….. *

16 chanpon 08.06.08 at 1:42 pm

Yay! Are we going to have a cats n’ crotches category now?

My kitties used to love to crawl into crotch pits when they were wee babes, but sadly they don’t fit as well anymore.

17 Cattah 08.06.08 at 1:43 pm

Those ears . . . I want to tickle them.

18 Michelle 08.06.08 at 1:45 pm

I’m going to be singing this song all day. Hai!

19 Meow 08.06.08 at 1:55 pm

What is the song? I must have it!

20 whiskers 08.06.08 at 2:01 pm

ai muhst hav teh kitteh!! muhst hav her!!

21 Szilvia 08.06.08 at 2:10 pm

Oh teh cute of teh teeny ears and beeg eyes!

Now if I had only watched it til the end, I wouldn’t have had to spend the last 30 minutes of finding out that it was Connie Francis who sung this adorable 60’s tune..

Oh, and google obviously doesn’t know the word Kawaii, and if anyone has the lyrics, I’d be forever greatful! =D

22 Hon Glad 08.06.08 at 2:11 pm

At first I thought the Japanese had pwned us again, shakes fist at sky. Then I am thinking hey that looks like Western writing and Western books. All is revealed at the end with shot of a Western guy and the fact that the song isn’t sung by Yokaso Fujimari, but Connie Frances. My fav bit @ 00:28 the huge eyes with the Cleopatra eyeliner.

23 ThreeCatNight 08.06.08 at 2:19 pm

That is one little sweetie face- those eyes! For a minute, I was almost fooled into thinking that this was a Japanese singer, too. Too much adorable for a Wednesday morning…

24 Barbara 08.06.08 at 2:25 pm

Why do scottish folds always look like Lindsay Lohan?

(I wish I could take credit for that observation but I once read it here)

25 Space Cowgirl 08.06.08 at 2:29 pm

What a little angel! The crossed paws knocked me ded.

26 Aunty I 08.06.08 at 2:35 pm

Return of the Lindsay Lohan cat!!!

YAY!

27 KendraPT 08.06.08 at 2:50 pm

OMG it’s so cute!!!! And it’s Calico!!! I want it!!!!

Could have done without the almost naked person in the towel in the background though. A little higher shot and oh my, this would have been a different kind of site!

28 Gail (the first one) 08.06.08 at 2:53 pm

The song totally makes this video!!! I was surprised, too to see that it was Connie Francis. I would like to hear the Yiddish version!!!

29 harlemgrrl 08.06.08 at 2:54 pm

Hey Katamari! Back where we first met my little Brooklyn cutie :0)

30 (the original) Mel 08.06.08 at 3:09 pm

*packs bags, moves to Japan*

31 Sonora 08.06.08 at 3:13 pm

She’s lovely, and so loved!

- off to explore omgkitty.com
thanks for the website link!

32 leslie 08.06.08 at 3:13 pm

The annotated captions are fine, with the exception of one item which was sadly missed:
Kitten dangling, upside down, on his rear, with all four suspended UP!!

Perhaps we should simply make a national/ international document of declaration that Scottish Fold cats are in charge of the Planet. Any votes?

33 avphibes 08.06.08 at 3:15 pm

Thank you, thank you… Katamari’s second CO appearance! This was my attempt to make “The Citizen Kane of Scottish Fold Kitten Videos.” It is not easy competing with the Japanese… we have to beat them at their own game!

34 Glix 08.06.08 at 3:15 pm

Crossed paws YAY! One of my kitties does that (the same one also lies in wait for the other to go to the litterbox). She’s the first kitty I’ve had that does it regularly, so I thought it was unusual.

35 leslie 08.06.08 at 3:17 pm

oops… shoulda used Preview first; THEN Posted.
*Located at :46 seconds
*s/he’s actually suspended on his/her HEAD, not on his/her rear. Sorry about that, Chief …

36 Amikit 08.06.08 at 3:43 pm

If you go to omgkitty.com, Katamari and her owners live in Brooklyn, New York.

37 Vampy 08.06.08 at 3:46 pm

YARGH!!!!!

I’m on kitteh withdrawl, as my babies are visiting with my landlord until 9 pm tonight while our house gets sprayed for those urban pests…roaches. They left yesterday for their overnight visit and I miss them soooooooooo much, this vid just about made me cry!

10 hours until my babies come home. WAAAAAAAAH!!!!

38 flyingfish 08.06.08 at 4:18 pm

Was that a Pee Wee Herman bobblehead??

39 Thren 08.06.08 at 4:26 pm

Aww, man, that kitty was super cute.

40 Snorga 08.06.08 at 4:28 pm

Awwww…..I love the crossed paws, my kittycat Coal does that too.

41 Celia 08.06.08 at 4:45 pm

I love the list of things to watch for! Hope you will do that more often.

And okay, now I’m dead. What a cute cat.

42 Hyura 08.06.08 at 4:55 pm

Barbara and Aunty – totally – the kitty is LiLo.

43 jaypo 08.06.08 at 4:56 pm

Sweet. Love the Egyptian eyeliner!

44 Rachel of Cyberia 08.06.08 at 4:59 pm

Ok now I get why the Japanese like scottish folds so much– they look like anime!

45 Stephie 08.06.08 at 5:06 pm

I want onneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

46 Bun bun 08.06.08 at 5:18 pm

I love katamari! Recognized her immediately! She is a star.

47 Blanche 08.06.08 at 6:06 pm

The crossed front paws: an authentic sign of class and pedigree! Just a kitteh right now but already quite a demoiselle! Pretty soon, no crotch will be good enough for her.

48 warrior rabbit 08.06.08 at 6:33 pm

Blanche, “no crotch will be good enough” — ha ha! I don’t know why, but that really made me laugh. I hope she doesn’t become crotch superior, though.

Are we sure this cat isn’t a cross with a lemur/bush baby? Those eyes are reeeeaaaaallly big.

49 nicefrenchgurl 08.06.08 at 6:43 pm

ok kitty is cute, very cute!
but does anyone have the email of this cute big guy? *grin*

50 David 08.06.08 at 6:55 pm

Rachel of Cyberia,

In anime they even have a term for this – “super deformity”, abnormality that actually makes something cute (eg. children’s disproportionally large head and eyes).

51 Sybann 08.06.08 at 7:27 pm

I love Katamari

52 A Baby Ate My Dingo 08.06.08 at 7:34 pm

I must be the only one who thinks Scottish Folds are fugly, messed up looking cats. They look damaged to me.

53 AKZombie 08.06.08 at 7:44 pm

@A Dingo Ate My Baby: Yes, yes you are.

54 Lurker 08.06.08 at 8:18 pm

OK, I checked the photoblog out, and Katamari is indeed the mostest prettiest Scottish Fold cat.

I think we need to set her up on a date with Winston.

55 bookmonstercats 08.06.08 at 8:45 pm

Scottish folds are not, I confess, my favourite breed, but OMG the eyelinerzzzz.

56 j 08.06.08 at 8:46 pm

Szilvia: couldnt you just look up the original lyrics to Pretty Baby?

and OMG ROLLING ON BELLY CAT. I need one of those.

57 Mary (the first) 08.06.08 at 8:48 pm

AKZombie, no, she isn’t. I am not really a fan either NOR of Winston. ALthough I would not call any cat “fugly”. They’re all some level of cute.. but these not as much as others.
On the other hand that song was too moishe. Connie Francis in Japanese! who knew ?!?!?!

58 Fegli 08.06.08 at 9:02 pm

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww what a DOLL! I bet she’s a handful though.

+ Points for her name being Katamari :)

59 snoopysnake 08.06.08 at 9:20 pm

I hope Connie Francis herself sees this! Sooo cute and even more so with the song!

60 Sweet Pea 08.06.08 at 9:38 pm

That’s Katamari!
I’d recognize that lil nose birthmark and pretty eye-linered eyes anywhere.
Cute vid!

61 Noelegy 08.06.08 at 9:54 pm

Pretty little baby, indeed. And I thought the bobblehead looked like Astro Boy.

62 Szilvia 08.06.08 at 10:02 pm

J. I did google pretty baby but all the versions I got were all in english, I’d love to have this mix of japanese and english lyrics.. oh well either way, this danged video is still teh cutest evah! ;-)

63 nancy 08.06.08 at 10:26 pm

I absolutely LOVE Katamari. I’ve been following her blog omgkitty.com since I saw her the first time she was on co. When Meg said she looked like Lindsey Lohan.After lurking on the net for years I was inspired to make my first comment on Katamari’s site. Now that she’s back again on co I’m inspired to make a comment on my second site ever. She is the cutest cat ever!

64 S 08.07.08 at 12:47 am

Katamari! So cute.

65 Liz 08.07.08 at 3:17 am

I love it when she bats are her own tail, then tries to save it by attacking the blanket and then licking herself. “I meant to do that!” Yeah, right.

66 Momcat 08.07.08 at 6:14 am

I thought the bobblehead was Kip’s Big Boy…could be any of the above, though. maybe new sub-category: cats ‘n’ bobbleheads?

67 Barbarella 08.07.08 at 8:29 am

The crossed pawsies just KILLED me ded. *thud* :D

68 Carol 08.07.08 at 2:37 pm

omg – a kitty who doesn’t give a hoot about Brett Favre…life, with all its wonderful variations, unfolds according to THE PLAN!

69 Nikki 08.07.08 at 3:50 pm

Katamari! I love you, bb!

70 Yodie 08.07.08 at 3:57 pm

Anyone else get “We’re sorry, this video is no longer available?”

Yet I can still the chinglishnesenam music playing in the background.

71 Yodie 08.07.08 at 3:58 pm

Yet I can still *hear*

:S

72 Yodie 08.07.08 at 4:00 pm

omg its a scottish fold?! Iwannaseeeeeeeee :(

73 Susan 08.07.08 at 5:04 pm

my head just blew up.

[Yeah, we get that a lot... - Ed.]

74 Sharon 08.07.08 at 11:35 pm

Does anyone else prefer– “0:15 Stares into your soul and knows all your innermost thoughts”

??

75 Sharon 08.07.08 at 11:37 pm

sorry, 1:13.

oops

76 Christine 08.09.08 at 9:53 pm
