Caturday printing challenges

Um the paper seems to be coming out just fine.

But RepairCat™ is not happy with that result…

Catherine T.B., when I first saw this vid, I could have SWORN they stole sound effects from this ORIGINAL office freak out.

    OMGGG this literally made me LOL

  2. tommie says:

    Hahaha! That’s just my cats. Whats up with cats ‘n printers?!

  3. butterfly says:

    i absolutely loved when the cat freaked out at the end and the cap-shun said “DIE!!”

    hilarious. :]

  4. Renee says:

    BWAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAA!!! The ending is the best-est evah!!!

  5. Isaac says:

    reminds me of the scene in Office Space, where they kidnap the fax machine printer and beat it to death.

    Isaac.

  6. Sahrawi Wife says:

    HAHAHAHA!! That is the funniest thing I have seen in a long time !!!! Made me laugh out loud ! I just found this sight and I LOVE IT!!

  7. Cool Gecko says:

    I love the litttle pawsies and the standing on hind legs!!! I feel sorry for it though because it fell off the table. Cats only do that if they are seriously distracted.

  8. Poohbear says:

    Ark! ark! ark! *snort* The “cat’s thoughts” – brillo.

  9. Von Zeppelin says:

    I think that cat worked on my car the last time. Charged me eight hundred bucks, and just smacked it with his paw a few times and ran away.

  10. Malinki says:

    No, the balloons need to go. And soon. Cute needs no embellishment just like beauty needs no makeup.

    [Ehh, matter of preference. If we followed that logic to the letter, this website woudn't exist. I get what you're saying though, and there are sites that take a more hands-off approach to their photos. DailyCoyote.net is a good example. - Ed.]

  11. Deb! says:

    OMG…This is THE FUNNIEST thing I have ever seen on the Cute!

  12. DLR says:

    ROFL! Wish I could blame my printer’s death on my cat, that is, if I had a cat. :-)

    *goes back to watch video again*

  13. Metz says:
  14. wolfie says:

    A++

    Fantastic video! *clapclapclap*

  15. crazyweinerdoglady says:

    I too LOLed and my wieners woke up like WTF?! Catch THIS office freakout! This is how I felt at work yesterday…

  16. trin says:

    well, my printer has been IMPROVED by the kitties (2) in my house… I think it was mostly the work of the 11# male. The OUT tray has been snapped off… (“but ma, I was JUST printing out my ‘Cool Cats for Obama’fliers and it just FELL off.) So now the print outs go FLYING across the hardwood floor to be persued as “cat toys.”

  17. trin says:

    Oh dang, my post didn’t go through… let me retry this.

    My kitties (2) have made some “improvements” on my printer. Including snapping off the OUT tray. I suspect this was the work of the 11# male,(“but Ma, I was JUST printing out my ‘Cool Cats for Obama’fliers and it FELL off.”)

    So now prints outs go flying across the hardwood floor to be pursued by said kitties.

  18. MamaDawn in Tulsa says:

    HeeHee… my engineering kids call this giving the machine a “technical tap”. Engineer Cat must have an excellent education.

  19. LOL – i love the ending

  20. Not That Mike The Other Mike says:

    “PC Load Letter”? What the %@#* does that mean?

  21. Maggie says:

    That was freaking stupendous, and that cat is just beautiful. However, she may want to consider a refresher course in printer repair…

  22. revolution724 says:

    Actually, I don’t think Kitty fell off the table, I think she jumped off. I saw a definite spring in the back legs. She was pretty freaked at the paper popping out at her; I think she jumped to get away from it.

  23. Catluvr says:

    Hilarious!

  24. Katrina says:

    Fonzicat!

  25. bev says:

    @NTMTOM – Office Space reference FTW!

    Kitty apparently needs to go see an occupational hypnotherapist.

  26. woofysma says:

    I’m still laughing – I’ll have to watch the vid at least 10 more times. Love the caps. Looks like the printer won this battle.

  27. marie_n says:

    i’m so glad i work by myself today so i can watch this as many times as i want and laugh as hard as i want. i just may pee a little. my cheeks are slightly cramped from a laughing fit. i’m glad that copier has a little bounce to it so we can see just how hard copycat his batting at it. haaaaaahaaahaha!

  28. marie_n says:

    not “his”, but “is.”

    lack of oxygen from laughing fit.. pardon, pardon.

  29. chanpon says:

    Oh, this is me in the office with the copier and printer usually about once a month. And when the machine falls apart, I too just walk away.

  30. turbofloof says:

    Cats are just hilarious! My cat does the *bat bat* thing with combs (go figure…?) and, the surprise ending just had me rolling!!

  31. Totalee Puppy says:

    I vote for the balloons…
    Embellish!! How about a copier next time? Another
    beautiful kitteh-in coal-
    black-might take on the task…

  32. Capt' Tightpants says:

    Control-P-PRINT! Control-P-PRINT!

    Cannot access printer? It’s here! *I* can access printer…

    PRINT-Control-P… aarrrrggghh!

  33. Fegli says:

    It was purely cute up until the ending, when it turned over to being cute AND hilarious! Bravo!

  34. Theresa says:

    OMG what a scream!!! I love how she progressed from a tentative “poke-poke” to “WHAMWHAMWHAMWHAM!!!”

  35. Love it! My two puttins are unimpressed with my printer…maybe that’s a good thing!

  36. Vortex says:

    I’m sorry, ma’am, but after a careful analysis of the malfunctioning device I can only conclude that it is beyond repair.

    I suggest replacing the printer with a comfy cat bed. Or maybe a nice scratching post.

  37. (the original) Mel says:

    Kitty Kalibration.

  38. Claudia says:

    OH Perfect start to my Saturday work day. YEAH~

  39. Vi says:

    Absolutely hilarious! I loved it.

  40. girlnextdoortn says:

    That was so funny!

    (p.s.- I have this printer and the paper is most definitely NOT coming out.)

  41. Scigirl says:

    Capt’Tightpants – LOVE the Eddie Izzard reference…

  42. DumBunny says:

    It’s not often I LOL, but this was great. Pretty kitty,and a lot cuter then my repair guy.

  43. Capt' Tightpants says:

    Scigirl – I usually stick to lurking, but today was moved to post.

    And NTMTOM beat me to the Office Space ref.

  44. Gail (the first one) says:

    Kitteh: Mom, stand back!! I will KILL the paper-spitting beast for you!!

  45. Julia (the one in BC) says:

    I love that the cat is ambidextrous.

  46. smokeyJoe says:

    first time *evar* that i spit on my monitor.

    percussive therapy–technique approved by frustrated techs everywhere!

  47. Billybob says:

    I like this version better:

  48. Leslie says:

    The comments are cracking me up even more than the video did! Von Zeppelin, trin and MamaDawn–hiiiilarious!

  49. Jezebel says:

    That was great. Consider me cracked up!

  50. KendraPT says:

    OH my god, that’s freaking HYSTERICAL!!! That’s the best Caturday post in a long time! Love the calico, they do have attitude!

  51. I also don’t think the thought bubbles are necessary in this case (kind of obvious), but this is still an awesome video.

  52. ariel says:

    lol–and the PANTS! CAT. PANTS.

  53. Anders says:

    Umm…actually the cat’s behavior pretty much resembles the way most humans behave around a printer. :)

  54. lemurland says:

    A reason to live! Seriously, this made me laugh so much that I watched it like 11 times.

    The FDA is prolly gonna crack down on this soon, so save it!

  55. Blooming HaHa says:

    I actually think the thought bubbles are kind of cute too!

    I love how kitteh pokes, and then bapbapbapbapbap!

    xD

  56. Blooming HaHa says:

    Die! Die!

    LOL!

    xD xD xD

  57. carmen says:

    OMG LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was the best vid ever.

    “I kill you”

  58. winnie says:

    HIIIILAAARIUS!!!

  59. Brenda says:

    I haven’t laughed that hard for a long time! Hysterical! :)

  60. Li Ting says:

    That was one fierce cat! Haha, I didn’t laugh out loud but the end made me cried Oh my God hahah. Lol

  61. krysi says:

    OMG… I cannot stop watching and giggling!

  62. CallieCat mom says:

    OMG that is SO funny! My calico does the same thing. She’s very concerned about the printer’s performance — I’m so glad someone actually thought to film it!

    (Capt. Tightpants: whenever she does it, I always think “Control-P-PRINT! Control-P-PRINT!”)

  63. Amanda says:

    GREAT!!!! ~Mandy

  64. Boomer's Babysitter says:

    This definitely was a laugh out loud, loudly, sort of video!

  65. Lucy says:

    best part was cat pantaloons!!

  66. Laura E. says:

    Hey, that’s exactly what I do when my printer isn’t working! Only I’m not nearly as cute.

  67. Z says:

    LOL! I literally laughed out loud.

  68. Dru Babe says:

    Hey!! I saw this yesterday at youtube!!! Glad you were there to. My cat did the same thing when he was a kitten.

  69. nikki says:

    Haha. That cat is too funny! =3

  70. newlee says:

    kitteh’s got a *mean* right hook. shoulda used some jab-cross-hook combos, though. that woulda fixed it, i think.

  71. JinxtheCat says:

    The printer is now fixed, I can go take a nap….. LMAO!

  72. jmuhj says:

    ROFLMAO GSOML

    Gorgeous little calico. Would LOVE to meet her in a dark alley. Er, cubicle.

  73. Aimz says:

    LOVE IT! I LOL’d several times. Kill it kitty! Kill it!

  74. Beth says:

    HILARIOUS!!! I love it. Definitely made my Caturday start well.

  75. Janni says:

    I love that cat. I want her to come and teach my printer a lesson or three.

    whamwhamwham sproingggg!

  76. marie_n says:

    BAM! BAM BAM!!!!

    this kitteh should be dubbed ‘bambam’for all eternity.

  77. binky-mama says:

    “Mumble grumble…gonna burn the building down…mumble…red stapler…mumble grumble…”

  78. Redbone says:

    I’m glad no one was around to hear that bark of laughter I let out at the end of the video. XD

  79. Katrina says:

    Boyoi-yoi-yoinnnnnggggg! It is still funny! Laughed out loud, sent it to UCONN!

  80. Auilix says:

    That is exactly how I fix printers too!!
    XD

  81. Restore factory settings…ack! Print self-test page…arrgh! Reseat paper tray…gah, I give up!

  82. Bead says:

    This is SO funny. One of our cats has an obsession with the printer too.

  83. Elisha B. says:

    DEWD!!! looks like one of my co-workers (one of these tech guys who’s been around computers 30+ years) especially the ending!!!

    This is best laugh I’ve had all week:)

    Loves the kitty!!

  84. Mosh Adra Astana says:

    I was laughing so hard by the end — the kitty’s antics are only enhanced by the fact that he is the most gorgeous calico I’ve ever seen. I love him but would unfortunately have to forgo his services.

    WAY TO GO REPAIRCAT!

  85. anise says:

    AAAHHHHH! I almost fell out of my chair laughing. Thank you repair cat, for mending my horrible day!!! This looks just like what my cat does to whatever inanimate object is closest (brush, hanger, shoe . . ) when someone turns the hairdryer on.

  86. katie says:

    My cats do the same thing to my printer. About a year after I got my kitties, my printer stopped functioning properly – the paper came out, but there was either no printing, or it was completely smeared. Changing the print cartridge didn’t help. I went through the whole process of “deep cleaning” the printer and testing and retesting the printer heads, to no avail. It wasn’t until my dad had a go at it that he discovered the problem: a printer head completely clogged with cat hair! (I’m not kidding). Cleaning the cat hair off the printer head is now the FIRST step I do every time I start having printer problems (and fixes it 95% of the time!)

  87. jen says:

    kitty really hates the printer. really really hates it.

  88. Jules says:

    Guys, here is the video you need to see.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PC_X5GV5c0
    PC Load Letter? WTF does that mean??

  89. Shannon says:

    *sigh* Gawd I miss calicos. It seems you just don’t see them as much anymore. This video is worth it for the last what, two seconds!

  90. Eileen says:

    This is not a repair cat.

    This is a male executive type whose secretary has taken a sick day.

  91. Totalee Puppy says:

    A temporary? (I apologize…)

  92. biscuithead says:

    This just confirms for me once again that modern technology exists to produce the sheer joy + merriment we gain from confusing + upsetting our various animal companions.

    LFMAO.

    CO delivers once again.

    xoxo

  93. Gillie says:

    I like a calico cat who appreciates the benefits of “percussive maintenance”

  94. Barbara says:

    HAHA I’m sitting here in a hotel room at 5 a.m. drinking the worst coffee ever and laughing my butt off about this video. Ha! Now if only I had some decent coffee.

  95. darkshines says:

    I love the prairie dog stance and kitty-loon pants. Those eyes! So full of printer HATE!

  96. Carol says:

    I would like Repair Kitty to come to my house… help clean the furry bits off my desk, between the keys of my keyboard, sticking to my monitor, decorating my router and USB hub…the clumps on the back and top of my chair…etc etc.

  97. TW says:

    @Eileen, bingo. My thoughts exactly.

  98. Lurker says:

    I see they got the CaliCollator atrtachment for their printer. Wise investment.

  99. Theo says:

    :groan:

  100. Yael says:

    Kitteh must have been going “Pew! Pew! Pew!” madly on the printer. I love it!

  101. JudyB says:

    ROFL!!!That was great! :D

  102. h.w. says:

    Funny as all heck…

    He = She btw. Most calicos are girls. So what we have here is a very frustrated female secretary.

  103. andrea b. says:

    Ok. Show kitty this video. She is not alone. Others have come before, and others will follow.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=670EEmUlszc

  104. momof2kitties says:

    I’m late to the party-busy weekend!-but this made me bust a gut laughing, all 12 times I watched it. Hee-lar-ee-us!!!!! Love eet!!!

  105. Kodalai says:

    Clearly repair cat is a big believer in the school of percussive maintenance.

  106. moggyfan says:

    Lurves the calico and totally understand her approach to machine maintenance!
    @andrea b–so cute :-)

  107. Elena Gerli says:

    It never gets old, does it?

  108. Melody says:

    I WILL KILLS YOU DEAD!

    Cats…better than cable.

  109. warrior rabbit says:

    Andrea B., very cute! Thanks for the heads up. I’m now in the middle of watching all the others. :)

    Also, I’ve watched this cat at least 10 times, and, surprisingly, it *still* cracks me up. (Woulda thought it would wear off after a while.)

  110. Jenny says:

    My mom’s cat Murphy loves to do this too! You can check out videos of him here, although I havent captured this one yet! http://www.floppycats.com/murphy-videos.html

  111. andrea b. says:

    Thanks, Warrior Rabbit, for your support. I think we all need to support Repair Kitty. Whom I have watched 12 times, and counting. Those of us who have kitties can have this sort of fun all the time. Those of us who are allergic to kitties must content ourselves with astounding kitty videos. Thank the Kitten Gods for this site.

    Lejo – yes – is pure irresistability, folks! You want cute? Go to YouTube, type ‘Lejo’in the search field, and watch them all. Warrior Rabbit did. And Warrior Rabbit knows cute.

  112. Sarah F. says:

    Okay, clearly the government needs to dish out some serious amounts of money so some Cuteologists can research cats’fascination with printers. As soon as my little Siegfried hears the printer turn on, he runs into the office and leaps onto the desk to watch. This is rather unique because when any other appliance is in operation (vacuum, hair dryer, coffee grinder), he runs and hides. Let’s put our tax dollars to work, people!

  113. E says:

    Not only was it funny, but that little calico girl has the *sweetest* face!

  114. mberkie0, Temporary Office Worker-Type says:

    A-herm! Temporary worker type here! While most of us do appreciate assistance with office equipment with which we may be unfamiliar, because we work in many offices with many different types/styles/manufacturers of office equipment, we are usually MUCH more able to clear cat-hair plugs and burnt paper fans than your usual Johnny-come-lately-into-this-particular-office. I know I have been called upon many times, etc., etc., etc.

  115. Totalee Puppy says:

    Temporary Office Workers
    Rule–This Puppy Drools!

  116. Katrina says:

    Before I was forcibly *retired*,(shall we say), I’d always get the honor of fixing the office’s machines. At least it got me off but bottom during the day! But now that cats are doing it, well, no wonder I’m a dinosaur! Even if I could go back to work my skills are no longer needed! Feh.

  117. Abby says:

    What is it with cats and printers? My cat (who is also calico, btw, with markings that eerily resembles the cat in this vid) is just fascinated and runs into the room whenever I turn mine on.

  118. Kris says:

    HILARIOUS! I laughed loudly at work…then proceeded to forward it to my friends.

    Whamwhamwhamwham!

  119. ariel says:

    pants.

  120. Theo says:

    …shirts?

  121. jen D says:

    i think i peed my pants a little laughing at this!

  122. carol says:

    “Oh no, another stupid fax from my manager, This is what I think of that!”
