“Hey cat .. did you order 5 extra large catnip pizzas with extra mice tails??”

Did anyone notice the round, soft kitteh belleh? And those dogs look slightly evil.

8 SillyGirl 08.20.08 at 5:02 pm

ehn! Look at the stubbular talio!

9 akzombie 08.20.08 at 5:02 pm

Beware the husky, kitten; he looks a little hungry to me.

To everyone who sent good thoughts to me yesterday for Porch Kitty and his surgery, I wanted to say thank you very much. Sometimes people don’t understand why humans get upset over stuff like that, but I knew you all would. Porch did have a large tumor that was removed, and he had to have a bowel resection. It looks like the cancer may have mestasticized as well, but they think (without getting the lab results back yet) that he’s got a “good” six months before he starts getting sick again. He’s already at home eating like there’s no tomorrow, and waves hello to everyone on CO. Thanks again.

10 yankeebird 08.20.08 at 5:11 pm

@ akzombie – I missed your comments yesterday, but I’m so happy that the surgery was successful, and I’ll be holding out hope for good results with the cancer diagnosis as well. And I think all of us understand why you reached out here – we know that this is the kind of group that will get it, without explanation. I just did the same on the last post. My mom’s dog died yesterday and I want to reach out and kiss as many kitties and puppies as I can. Give Porch some love on my behalf, please.

11 yankeebird 08.20.08 at 5:15 pm

and LOL at the first comment.

12 ThreeCatNight 08.20.08 at 5:18 pm

Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won’t you be -
my neighbor?
Won’t you please?
Won’t you please?
Please won’t you be -
my neighbor?

13 Not That Mike The Other Mike 08.20.08 at 5:27 pm

@Yankeebird: Agreed; Baranowski wins the thread in one. :-)

14 Lurker 08.20.08 at 5:31 pm

The curve of the belleh and the questioning curl at the end of the stubbular tailio are what does me in.

15 Wombats 08.20.08 at 6:12 pm

NO! Don’t do eet kitteh!

16 jabbo 08.20.08 at 6:23 pm

I see a bad moon arisin’
I see trouble on the way

17 Jimbeaux 08.20.08 at 6:26 pm

I have friends who have two dogs that look like that. They also have four cats. If the dogs are anything like my friends’ animals, they’re really saying, “Oh! We wanna play! Play play play! Let us in!”
(And the cat is saying, “Neener!”)

18 ceejoe 08.20.08 at 6:32 pm

I would have died from all the cuteness there… would have never been able to snap the pic…

19 Mary W. 08.20.08 at 6:53 pm

That little tailio!!! Lol, I’m sure he says “Neener! I no lets joo in.” xD It’s trueee.

20 scooterpants 08.20.08 at 7:02 pm

puppeh on right seems fairly pleasant, puppeh on left seems to be fairly wanting to “KEEL THE LIL KITTEH BABEH!”
luckily, kitteh is too short to reach door knob.

21 hey-h 08.20.08 at 7:09 pm

Meg, you’re in the New York Times! You’re…FAMOUS!!

22 dancefanatic 08.20.08 at 7:20 pm

Who let the dogs out? Who? Who? Who?

23 SoCalSis 08.20.08 at 7:23 pm

Hey-h, what’s the link?? Not that I need the Noo Yawk Times to tell me Meg is the Cat’s Meow…

24 Rosalynde 08.20.08 at 7:24 pm

30 Eastie 08.20.08 at 7:45 pm

Aww, the doggehs just want to be friends with the kitteh! I’m sure they mean no harm. ;)

31 (the original) Mel 08.20.08 at 7:51 pm

This picture so reminds me of “Land Shark.” I feel like the kitten is all like…”Who is it?”

32 Wombats 08.20.08 at 7:53 pm
33 sharon 08.20.08 at 7:53 pm

OOOooooh sooOOooo cute!

34 (the original) Mel 08.20.08 at 7:54 pm

And the dogs are all like: “Candygram.”

35 Erebella 08.20.08 at 7:55 pm

I can just imagine the flood of thoughts going through the heads of those dogs: oh boy, can i smell it?, looks yummy, how do i get in?, can you smell it?, what flavor is it?, oh boy, i was just thinking about cheezburgers, let us in, i’m hungry, are you hungry?, when are we not hungry?, oh boy, can i have mine with mustard?, i’ve been good, i deserve a snack, are you the cream-filled kind?, oh boy…..

36 starling 08.20.08 at 8:03 pm

Naw, Erebella, they’re all thinking “KITTEH! MAH FAVRIT!”

Cos dogs don’t think much further than that …

37 scooterpants 08.20.08 at 8:07 pm

good laud.
i am not-
overwhelmingly female and “between 18 and 34″
although i AM overwhelmingly female.

38 ButtaRumCake 08.20.08 at 8:10 pm

SQUEEEEE! Congrats Meg!!

39 Fegli 08.20.08 at 8:12 pm

And the award for Cutest Candid Moment goes to…

40 Jajeh 08.20.08 at 8:21 pm

“Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF!”

41 cataddict 08.20.08 at 8:34 pm

i’m just a wee tad over 34 (by 11 yrs) and have been a fan of this site for months

42 Katrina 08.20.08 at 8:36 pm

I’m glad that you got written about Meg, but it is really obvious that the writer is not a peep. Yet.

Great photo.
akzombie- make each day count!

43 berthaservant 08.20.08 at 8:41 pm

Congrats on the excellent ink, Meg, Teho and NTMTOM! I’m not usually for people selling out and going corporate, but in this case GO CAPITALISM!!!

And that is a TOTALLY awesome pic as uszh!

44 Mary (the first) 08.20.08 at 9:04 pm

I’ll bet anything that black sticker on bottom right of window says “Please rescue my pets in case of fire!” or something like that.

45 Berg 08.20.08 at 9:18 pm

Seriously cute picture! Love the tiny kitteh tummy and the big doggeh noses.

My mother has a pit bull mix who completely adores “her” two cats. The boys were only eight weeks old when they moved in, and the dog could have eaten both in one bite. Instead she lets them steal her kibble and bat it around the kitchen, as well as take up most of the space on her bed. So sweet!

XOXO to Porch Kitty, and fingers crossed that the vets got more of the cancer than they think they got.

46 ScoutsMom 08.20.08 at 9:24 pm

The larger dog looks like he is about to say, “Come on out little kitty or I will Huff and Puff and bloooowwww this house down!”

47 Mary 08.20.08 at 9:24 pm

Bad idea Kitteh! Don’t you know about the big, bad wolf(s)?

48 chanpon 08.20.08 at 9:37 pm

“I’m just a harmless guppy.”

Noooooo, kitty!!

49 Gail (the first one) 08.20.08 at 9:44 pm

Dogs: Oh, hi. Is your Mom home?
Kitten: No, she’s at work.
Dogs: Do you have any bacon?
Kitten: She told me to say ‘no’ if any dogs came to the door wanting bacon? Can’t you read the sign? It says right here (points, then reads) “No Bacon kept in this house”.
Dogs: Awwwww. (hanging heads, turning away from door)
Kitten: Mom, is the bacon ready yet??

50 dub1 08.20.08 at 10:11 pm

Does aluminum siding count as a house made of ’sticks’ or ‘bricks’?

(lol at the original Mel: ‘pause . . . ‘Candygram?”)

51 snoopysnake 08.20.08 at 10:16 pm

If you let them in, they’ll sell you encyclopedias!

52 browngrl 08.20.08 at 10:18 pm

Get well soon Porch kitty

53 sunnymum 08.20.08 at 10:42 pm

Gail you crack me up!

This is an unbelievably cute photo! White kitties are my favorite! They always look like leetle stuft aminals! Squeeeeeeeee

54 vonvon 08.20.08 at 10:51 pm

That dog on the left looks like he can already taste kitteh.

I’m glad the Porchster is doing well after surgery.

And congrats to Meg, Theo and NTM on the write-up in the NYT. You’re in the money! Or something like that.

55 sunnymum 08.20.08 at 10:52 pm

kitty: “No. No, not today.

doggies: “Oh man! Why?!”

kitty: “Grounded. Big time.”

doggies: “ha ha ha, busted!”

56 nads 08.20.08 at 10:55 pm

Hee hee-when I went to the NYT site to check out the article, I automatically put my cursor on the pic to check out the hovertext! :)

57 warrior rabbit 08.20.08 at 11:36 pm

Amy K! Tell us more! Is the husky as kitty-ravenous as it looks? Did the goggies arrive on bicycles? And where are their ties?

58 hazysnake 08.21.08 at 2:04 am

kitty: “No thanks today.”
doggies: “Why not?”
kitty: “Who needs encyclopedias with Cute Overload and Wikipedia available online?”

59 joss 08.21.08 at 2:05 am

easy to imagine the kitty licking the window and wiping its face back and forth in smeary mockery a la Stitch.

60 Kar 08.21.08 at 2:18 am

Hi. We’re selling Amyway. Or wait, Avon calling. We’re representitives of the Fuller Brush Company.

Ummm. Candy-gram?

61 Emily 08.21.08 at 2:52 am

That akita-looking dog is so focused on that kitty. It /really/ wants to play. As it were.

I tried to share this picture with my boyfriend, who is in China right now, and we discovered that Cute Overload is BLOCKED in China! How wacky!

62 Totalee Puppy 08.21.08 at 4:00 am

PORCH KITTY and AKZOMBIE–Please be extra-good to yourselves–so glad things are going a little better–may your months turn into years. You are in the thoughts and prayers of so many of us at CO, and sometimes that creates a “climate of caring” to help you keep going and feel better.

63 Lizzy 08.21.08 at 4:17 am

@berthaservant: Don’t you mean CUTE-ipalism? Meg 08!

65 Raemie L. 08.21.08 at 5:27 am

Whoa… I read this post just now and reloaded the page — only to find a new caption and hovertext. :D

“Home Alone #38.4: teh LOL Edition” came to mind cuz of the former “OMG NOOOOOOO!” hovertext. (Think main character in “Home Alone” slapping on aftershave and screaming.)

66 Meg 08.21.08 at 5:34 am

Guyths,
I know it’s reaaaaallly bad form to change blog posts after they’re written, but I COULDN’T hep muhsef and changed this one to “Candygram!’

Thanks to (the original) Mel. I BLAME YOU!

67 berthaservant 08.21.08 at 5:49 am

Meg – I think this time, ye are forgiven, for the new capshun and story are teh awesome. Thanks for listening to your fans!

68 Raemie L. 08.21.08 at 6:00 am

Hehe, I was delighted by the switchyroo, but confused by where the new captions were from.

69 Monica 08.21.08 at 6:07 am

Reminds me of The Simpson’s episode. Just substitute the White Kitty for Homer.

*knock knock*

Kitty: who is it?

Muffled voice: goons

Kitty: who?

Muffled voice: hired goons

70 Monica the Tiara Chick 08.21.08 at 7:20 am

Telegram.

Flowers.

Plumber, ma’am.

hee hee :)

71 Raemie L. 08.21.08 at 7:23 am

Er, just re-read my comment, and to be clear, I meant that I didn’t know what the new captions (candygram, sharks) were referencing. Nothing too obscure a quick search wouldn’t yield, though. :)

And… rule of cuteness #1. ^_^ Ahn.

72 Subhangi 08.21.08 at 8:19 am

“Dis is the Kitteh Club. No dogs allowd.”

73 cheesybird 08.21.08 at 9:52 am

Mrs. Johannesburrrr?

I missed the original caption, but this one is da BOMB! (Did I really just say that?) And the hovertext is the icing on the cake!

And congrats on the article, Meg and Co.!

74 Hon Glad 08.21.08 at 9:53 am

Doggies:- “Flores… Flores paros des muertos”

Megsy: When’s the share issue, I’m buying some of those mothers!
Hearty congrats.

75 Wordwitch 08.21.08 at 1:02 pm

Is it just me, or does anyone else see the THIRD dog off to the left there – looks like he’s snarling with really big teeth!!

76 ophelia 08.21.08 at 1:11 pm

Gosh, I remember the Land Shark skit! I was going to say that I feel really old since so few people were mentioning it, but I see some age and recognition in there, similar to mine. ;)

“Wait. I’m only a dolphin, Ma’am.”

“A dolphin? Well, okay…”

77 Hon Glad 08.21.08 at 1:20 pm

Sorry Wordwitch, No third dog, your arseholed (drunk) again.

78 Juno 08.21.08 at 1:50 pm

Whoa! I see the scary third dog. Creepy–though I think it’s actually a distorted reflection from the room.

Also: “You can’t fool me! You’re that clever land shark!”

79 katiedid 08.21.08 at 2:05 pm

Wordwitch.. i think those are bricks from the side of the house.. i could be wrong .. but i think the angle and the dirty window distorts it to look like doggy teeth and an ear..

80 (the original) Mel 08.21.08 at 2:06 pm

HEEE! You changed it! I love EET!

81 Michelle67 08.21.08 at 2:42 pm

That totally looks like a ghost image of a snarling dog. It’s the evil force behind the other two. Don’t open the door kitty.

82 Katrina 08.21.08 at 3:01 pm

“Burglers!”

“You wouldn’t be encyclopedia salesmen?”

“Oh, no ma’m we’re burglers.”

“Mind you, have you ever considered the benefits of owning really fine set of encyclopedias?”

83 Mary (the first) 08.21.08 at 4:14 pm

Love the new captions although it startled me a bit.. haven’t had coffee yet and when I saw that I was “uhh.. was that there yesterday.. oh noes I can’t remember.. am I crazy?? HELP” but luckily saw the mention of new capshuns before committing myself to the asylum. Whew. That was close.

84 tarzankun 08.21.08 at 4:26 pm

The old caption was “OMG!!!!NOOOOOOO000000000″

85 Laura 08.21.08 at 4:49 pm

86 katie 08.21.08 at 7:29 pm

SO PRECIOUS !!!!!!!!!!!

87 knightofmonarch 08.21.08 at 7:33 pm

Keep on knockin , but you can’t come in – Keep on knocking but you can’t come in – come back tomorrow night and try it again

88 Michele 08.21.08 at 8:56 pm

ophelia- I am so glad you mentioned the dolphin line!!! I was getting worried that I would have been the first one!!!

“Ms Mhememren?
Who?
Mrs Mrhhsmsmsmmm?
Who is this?
Flowers….”

Oh this just made my day…

89 Barbarella von Fluffenstein! 08.21.08 at 9:03 pm

Pups?!! That one on the left looks like a bloomin WOLF! :O

Don´t open the door, kitteh!!!

90 Durandal 08.21.08 at 10:14 pm

Well I, for one, am upset by this change of story. What’s next, Greedo will shoot first? Cops will carry only walkie-talkies when going after ET? When will the madness end?

Demanding special original edition release, please!

91 Rooanne 08.22.08 at 12:07 am

Re: Land shark. I remember that skit. Nothing has ever been as funny as the old SNL!! Like some others, I’m a little older than the 34 yr. demographic.
Oh, and this is one of the cutest pics I’ve ever seen …..

92 Faye 08.22.08 at 12:13 am

Landshark!

93 MicSix 08.22.08 at 12:20 am

I to am even more troubled by the “overwhelming female 18-34″ thing from the NYT. I don’t meet either of those. I am a 35 year hetero male engineer and a military reservist in a construction battalion for an extra side of “macho”. I just like to come here to let my mind bask in the goodness of the images and the humor and good peeps. Is there something wrong with me? Gah.

94 Totalee Puppy 08.23.08 at 2:14 am

SUBHANGI–It’s about
The Kitteh Club…Is there a zoning issue for this type of entertainment? Special packages for
bachelor parties?
I lurve-lurve-lurve little white kitten, but I wouldn’t have hired him as a bouncer…
