Milo this, Milo that, what is the matter with you People, always naming your pets "Milo"?
I get thousands of emails a day with the titles like "Guess what? Milo pooped!" and "Milo has a toehawk LOOK!" and "I chose a unique name for my Kitteh guess what it is!?"
But then THIS Milo came along. In all his stubbular glory.
Thank you.
Thank you, Jen C. Thank you.
he is the ubermilo.
besides cuteness upfront, I love the little one in the back!!! He looks like “what about me, why can’t i have my picture taken too =( ?????”
Oh but what is the name of the cuteness in the background…..
Awww but look at little non-Milo in the background. He’s all like ‘I could sit on a cushion too Mummyyyyyyyyyy. I could be on cuteoverload too Mummyyyyyyyyy. Love meee!!’
Bless!
xx
Adorabuhls. That one in the background is getting ready to cause some trouble. I can just tell.
Oh, I’m so ashamed. I missed the baby in the back. It was the Evil Ubermilo – he stole my soul.
he’s all, “you woke me up for that?”
I call matching head tilts!
I had a pet parakeet named Milo about 20 years ago. Maybe I was one of the first? I named him after the character in “The Phantom Tollbooth.”
Sweet, sweet marmie littermates!!! I think my insulin pump just burned itself out!
(I wonder how much the pet naming trend has to do with the puppy-dog eyes of a certain Mr. Ventimiglia?)
I luve the fur-halo! And of course, the mini-Milo in the background. What’s *his* story?
Remember the movie Milo & Otis about the marmie kitten and pug puppy that went off on adventures? That’s probably my marmies are named Milo!!

Background kitteh: “Yeah, we’ll see who’s the popular one. You just wait.” *freaky Renfield laugh*
i am insanely jealous that jen C has one sunlite marmie kitten (with head tilt), and then ANOTHER poser-marmie (with extremely experienced head tilt action) kitteh in the background.
too much for one hooman i think…
He is Milo, descended from heaven to grace us with his stubbular cuteness. *harps strumming*
Meanwhile, evil-twin-Milo lurks in the shadows in the background.
Teh kitteh in the background is actually a future-echo of teh kitteh in the foreground. He’s looking around to see if anyone’s noticed that he’s about to hop on top of that piece of furniture where the fishtank is, under the window, and hopes that his anerabuhls apparition in the foreground will distract you long enough for him to achieve this.
These are marmies, people – if they appear not to be up to something it’s because they’re thinking about getting up to something. Don’t be fooled by the head-tilt and the supplicant-eyes – tehy are eeeeeeeeeeeevils!
Two Milos for the price of one. CO discount.
I enjoy the foreground Milo as well as the background Milo. Milo= codeword for kitteh that steals yer soul.
There’s nothing so odd about that. Kemal Atatürk had an entire menagerie called Abdul.

How about the other little one? What’s his/her name?
Personally I think that Milo is an excellent name for a kittie but an even better one for oh, say, an eight-year-old black Lab. Whose middle name would be McGregor, as in the farmer in Peter Rabbit. Just saying.
Elanor –
FOREGROUND: Milo
BACKGROUND: Bleenous de Milo
(if you don’t get this, don’t blame yourself; it’s entirely my fault)
Most likely they are all named Milo because of the one of the cutest puppy/kitty movies of all time:
Milo and Otis
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_and_otis
NTMTOM – which explains why anyone named Eric is automatically known as “Thearfabee”.
I WUV this Wittle Baby. It is so cute and da wittle baby loves me too!
ya NTMTOM – and george foreman has a house full of boys named george.
Theo, have no doubt, you will be severely PUNished for such remarks.
what about little fluffypants in the background, he’s all, “what am i? chopped leeever???”
background kitteh is in teh background.
Well I was gonna say something clever but then I was done in by the Monty Python Routine Hehehehe
Not to mention the play on Names ala Teho
and
Chanpon are we sure that the evil twin isn’t the kitty in the sunbeam just disguising himself.. See Tony James Observation about Marmies and their middle name of Trubs!
Not that I am an Antipodean, but Milo is an Australian milk chocolate drink.
This Milo has eyes that burn into your soul. Oh noes, I revealed far too much embarassing detail to the last all seeing kitty.
I do know someone who has a child named Milo. I can make an exception in this case with a kitteh-face like that.
“Bleenous de Milo” – Oh, Teho, you rascal!
And I thought we were so original naming our dog Milo! It was after Titus Annius Milo, an ancient Roman assassin.
Yep! He’s definitely a Milo!!
All he’s missing is a pug-nosed pup and a nest full of baby birds to swat at to tell them to “SHUT UP!!! I’M TRYING TO SLEEEEEP!!!”
hmmm, he looks like the cat who steals your thoughts that was posing about here the other day.
Remember, MILO spelled backwards is Olim.
Speaking of which, can’t we have some Olympic kitties and doggies? Especially swimming. I’m pretty into it this year.
I guess no one is naming their pets Milo after the robot Woody Allen briefly portrays in “Sleeper.”
Good Gracious at the cute!
Mention that Wood Alien one more time and I’ll bleen you.
NTMTOM, you just made my day. I’d like a license for my pet cat, Eric.
Hunhh. The internet is a strange and wonderful place. All my struggling and here it turns out there’s this whole SOCIETY of weirdos who already know what “bleen” means. Though, they do spell it funny…
http://www.aracnet.com/~kbuxton/discordia/fnord.html
Decca, I promise you: There is no such thing as a bloody cat license.
When I was a young’un we were too poor to bleen.
* sniff, sniff *
Ah well, back to work.
+ Cute points for double marmie action. Ahn…
Perhaps kitty in the background has been naughty and must sit in the corner for punishment. I’ll take them both, thanks!
NTMTOM – there bloody is and I got one, so there. You can’t catch me out on that one.
Look, it’s Peeps like you what cause unrest.
A) I loved – LOVED – The Adventures of Milo and Otis…”Gonna take a walk outside today, gonna see what we can find today…”
B) Theo – ha ha ha!!
C) The one in the background just makes me think of “Harry Potter”…when Hermione has the Time Turner and they have to go back in time and you see both of them but the past version can’t see the future version? Anyone know what I’m talking about? No? *Sigh*
D) Um…I don’t know what “bleen” means…I think I missed when that originated. Anyone want to fill me in?

There’s the link to the first part of Milo and Otis, for any of you silly people who may not have seen it before…or for those that want to relive it (as I’m doing now…hee!).
I named my first kitty after Milo Aukerman.
And did you know that “Milo & Otis” is a Japanese film?
Honto ni!!
The original title is Koneko Monogatari (“kitten tale”)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097050/
Ha! What a coincidence… the great cartoonist Kate Beaton just posted a comic about a cat named Milo:
http://beatonna.livejournal.com/60962.html
This is Milo’s glamour shot. He’s all backlit and semi-soft focus. “Where’s my boa,” he asks.
My next kitten will be named Garbanzo.
He’s looking like Scarlett Johansson, Doc.
Milo’s a lot more photogenic.
@NTMTOM, Tony James & Decca:
“Look, it’s people like you what cause unrest.’
Thanks, too, N. for the website!!!!! It will aid my failing memory.
Semi-carnally?
My adorable little ball of VICIOUS is named Frank Sinatra; most definitely NOT Milo!
This guy, though — he looks like a Balthier to me.
I just read that PETA KILLS over 80 of the pets they rescue. I wish this site wouldn’t support them. Does anyone know how I can get into contact with the owner?
Milo’s a cute name. I have a cat named Miko, which is pretty close.
What about Catch-22? A cat is pretty similar to the character Milo in the book.
Karl: Cats-22 surely.
Matchingks, no?
Cause Milo is just the cutest name (*drools when thinking of Milo Ventimiglia – Peter from Heroes*)….
But oh, Milo´s twin in the background is just as cute!!!! Why doesn´t he get any mention?! Awwww.
Gail – no, Cyril Connelly.
OMG Milo has a doppleganger. Don’t look Milo!
It weel keel you!!!!!!
Look at kitteh in background! I almost missed him! He’s liek, “Oh Hai! What about me?”
Where I live (Brooklyn, NY), the most common name for dogs and cats is Max…unless it’s black and white….then it’s Oreo.
He looks professionally lit.
I’d say the sun earned the right to be called “professional” ages ago. So, sure.
hi all, this is Jen C, fosterer of milo of this very same photo. imagine my suprise and delight at seeing his photo posted on this venerable site of cuteness! i was floored and honored.
to answer some q’s about these two furballs, MILO and his brother, who’s name was WILEY, were in my care to be fostered. they were both found good homes and have different names now. they were found in a friend’s backyward, wedged between some a crumbling brick wall and some shrubber. mother was nowhere to be found and never came back. so, my friend (knowing i live for these moments) gave them to me to foster and i loved every minute of it (except the minute they left).
milo was a little punk ass and he knew how to work his mojo well. i loved him dearly for it, still do. he got into everything, including a lot of trouble, but he always knew how to set the needle back with moments of sublime cuteness such as this pic (there were many). his brother, wiley, on the other hand, was very very shy and didn’t want anything to do with the camera. he always managed to get into things do things that his brother couldn’t (thus his name) and he was loving and gentle with people.
at 5 weeks old, their personalities were already so well formed and cemented.
i miss these boys dearly, but i know they went home with wonderful families.
THey are lovely little guys, Jen! I am always amazed by the diversity of personality kitties have…they are all so different! Seems to me, dogs are more alike, at least consistent within a given breed.
I’m glad you were able to foster them until they could go to new homes.
I love the name Milo for a kitty, but it is very common. I tend to give y pets people names so it’s more like they’re my kids. Jonny, Ferris, Lily, Paco, and Ellie are some names I have used.
MY kitty’s name is Milo, and I like to say it with a British accent when I call him by his name–it’s way more fun that way.
Valerie-”Katrina” is a very nice name…..true story-my mother wanted to name me Valerie, but she didn’t want my father to go through life calling me ‘Walerie’, so alas, Katrina it was.
I still giggle when I think of that story.
The guy in the background? MINI-MILO. Uv koarss.
GO FOSTERS! GO FOSTERS!
Awesome!
those pink lips just kill me
The kitten looks pink? I guess it is the lighting.
Thanks for posting, Jen – a good kitten success story does my heart good!
What’s wrong with naming your kitty after one of the hot guys from Heroes? My little darling is named Mohinder. Kitties named after Heroes men FTW!
