lots o’ laughs.

2 Gillie 09.01.08 at 8:14 pm

OMG! SO cute!!

But what’s the point of having a door?!

3 Melissa 09.01.08 at 8:20 pm

I love when the kitty stands on his back legs, spreads out his front paws and then jump pounces … on nothing.

4 momof2kitties 09.01.08 at 8:26 pm

I call matchingks!!

5 Beanie 09.01.08 at 8:26 pm

Shouldn’t that be covering ears with hands? Cause how can you see the kittens?

6 momof2kitties 09.01.08 at 8:27 pm

and…
“I shall bite your buttocks!”

My kittehs play this game all the time. So cute. Unless you’re the bitee.

7 jazmella 09.01.08 at 8:32 pm

I LOVE how you hear the scampering of their little paws out of frame, then BAM, there they are again! LOL Bless them, they’re so adorable!! :-)

8 Cheryl-Lee 09.01.08 at 8:37 pm

Thats made me so laugh out loud! They’re just chasing thin air! Ba-doing, ba-doing… funny little souls x

9 KendraPT 09.01.08 at 8:46 pm

Ah, someone else noticed it too!! Shouldn’t it be hands over ears to not hear them, or do your eyes have special features? LOL.

10 Katfighter 09.01.08 at 8:54 pm

OMG. I love kittens so much.

It took me a sec to realize my sound wasn’t on, and thank the gods I noticed, because it’s so much cuter with the scampering-paw sounds!

Also, I snorted from laughing while watching this.

11 jenjen 09.01.08 at 9:00 pm

LOVE IT! Right around 0:31 the one kitten skitters right under the other kitten. So sweet! I like how they pounce on nothing a lot too. Great!

12 fillyjonk 09.01.08 at 9:00 pm

Oh, I love kittens. So funny. And the tiny tails!

13 Erebella 09.01.08 at 9:03 pm

Yeah, I think I’d be putting a sleeping bag in the hallway so I wouldn’t miss a second of that. That was great. Add a bit more white and less gray and they look just like my Pookie!

14 tblue 09.01.08 at 9:06 pm

At some point that door is gonna have to get taken off, because the kitties will get stuck under it, which is how they will figure out that they don’t fit any more.

I hope that it only happens the once, and that the kitties’ people are there to help when it does! Maybe they should lower the door or otherwise block it when the babies start looking big enough to get stuck.

Meanwhile, though, I would be hanging out there by that door all day every day watching the circus.

15 rachel t 09.01.08 at 9:10 pm

i paused it 6 seconds in and thought it was a video of a really long kitten. i was a little scared. not gonna lie.

16 Lilyleo 09.01.08 at 9:11 pm

They are gonna be so mad when they grow up and can’t fit under the door anymore. xD
thanks for two and half mins of bliss NTMTOM.

17 taj 09.01.08 at 9:23 pm

further proof that kitties are made of jello and springs, not bones.

18 Not That Mike The Other Mike 09.01.08 at 9:25 pm

I think that there are actually THREE kittens in this video: Two that we can see, and one that only that one kitten can see.

I mean, look at it! It’s just waving at the air half the time! Totally adorable! :-D

19 B. Modern 09.01.08 at 9:44 pm

What are those kittens are on…
(wait for it…)
Crack?!!??!

20 B. Modern 09.01.08 at 9:46 pm

Ooops!
One too many “are’s”
Sorry!

21 Layla42 09.01.08 at 9:46 pm

Definitley funnier with the sound on. It reminds us that two little kittens can still sound like a little herd of terribly adorable elephants.

So damn funny. Win. Very win.

22 B. Modern 09.01.08 at 9:47 pm

Ooops!
One too many “are’s”
Sorry!

23 Julie 09.01.08 at 9:53 pm

little scramblers!!

24 caroline 09.01.08 at 10:00 pm

I love the little thumpity thump noises the pawsies make!

25 CoffeeCup 09.01.08 at 10:04 pm

I like the pouncing, though I think kitty’s trying to swipe at littermate’s tail.

26 gizmo 09.01.08 at 10:07 pm

Yeah, the kittens are cute but don’t ever hire the carpenter who installed that door! That thing’s gotta be 4 inches above the floor.

27 wagthedogma 09.01.08 at 10:10 pm

Is this kinderlurkensproingen?

28 Dru Babe 09.01.08 at 10:17 pm

Soooo Cute!!!! One of them looks like it has a twitch in it’s paw at 27 and 42 seconds!!!!

29 Meredith 09.01.08 at 10:21 pm

Kitties + crack under door = instant awesome. Ours are far too large to fit under any of the doors, but they do enjoy reaching their little arms through the crack and grabbing at anything that happens to be close enough.

30 chanpon 09.01.08 at 10:40 pm

Kitties are too adorable.

But “crack”? I think of a crack as maybe an inch or two wide. If kitties are freely flying about, isn’t that more like an opening? The door looks like it’s floating a good 4-5 inches off the floor. That’s some mighty fine handy work there.

31 D.H. 09.01.08 at 10:44 pm

I think that one kitten is able too see into another dimenshuns! A dimenshun of cuteness!

32 Ray 09.01.08 at 11:09 pm

oh yeah, can’t wait until those guys find the laundry basket and the toilet paper roll. Gonna be GOOD!

33 Aimz 09.01.08 at 11:14 pm

I love how EVERYTHING is a toy to a kitten! Even the air, lol!

34 DejaMew 09.01.08 at 11:28 pm

you got that right, Aimz. everything is a toy to a kitten.

35 Pie 09.02.08 at 12:11 am

PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY NOM SLEEP NOM PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY…

36 Elmo&Dana 09.02.08 at 12:26 am

This makes me want kittens :(

37 Alverant 09.02.08 at 12:55 am

I was holding my foster kitten, Pepi when we saw this. She was intensely watching it. I put my hand in front of her eyes and she moved her head to watch. I rotated my computer chair and her head stayed glued to the screen. Then she tried to get closer walking over my keyboard and closed my browser by stepping on the wrong keys. I brought CO up again but she wasn’t interested. Maybe another time.

38 carmen 09.02.08 at 1:00 am

i could listen to this without seeing the video…i love hearing the scampering of kitteh paws. great video!

39 MM 09.02.08 at 1:13 am

Us has gots the pownceez!

40 metsakins 09.02.08 at 1:21 am

This is not helping my desire for a kitten. *MUst not think of how anerable kittens are*

41 Juno 09.02.08 at 1:32 am

Awwwww . . . . I’m laughing (for obvous reasons) and crying (because they look like my Maggie, who died three years ago). Best part: Thundering Kitty Hooves!

42 Rose 09.02.08 at 1:37 am

Thank you, thank you, thank you CO… I had a very rough day, and watching this video just now made everything better. ^-^

43 turbofloof 09.02.08 at 1:42 am

I was reading the YouTube comments – the brother kitten is named “Captain Peanut.” Excellent.

44 the other Brenda 09.02.08 at 1:43 am

KITTEH HAB FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!

45 saucy bernaise 09.02.08 at 1:52 am

I lurve, lurve, lurve KITTEN-TUDE! Attack your buddy, attack the air, attack the evil cord on the floor, annnnd SPAZ!

46 Sam 09.02.08 at 2:44 am

According to a recently-released Gallup poll, most Americans consider these kittens more qualified for the vice presidency than Sarah Palin.

47 Theo 09.02.08 at 2:58 am

Sam — two words for you: Dan Quayle.

Just sayin’.

48 riolinda 09.02.08 at 3:08 am

I LOVE the scampering of the paws! Especially when they scamper out of frame! this made me laugh! :)

49 dub1 09.02.08 at 3:14 am

was worried one kit was otnay ootay ightbray, [potato/potatoe] or it was southpawing methane fumes, then realised they’re just wee and practicing whapping/pouncing.

50 AuntieMame 09.02.08 at 3:18 am

Were those kittens father by an elephant?

(And please, people…can we leave the political wisecracks at home?)

51 milquetoast 09.02.08 at 3:43 am

What were those kittehs swiping at? I didn’t see a laser spot…

52 Yitzysmommie 09.02.08 at 3:54 am

Kittayns for Prez
Puppies for VPees
Bunnehs, hedgies, kneesocks with eyes for cabinet posishes, and finally Pandas for foreign policy. (with snakes and tarantulas & other creepy crawly horrid things for defense)
A ticket I will happily vote for!

53 E 09.02.08 at 4:07 am

Oh, this is one that needs to be bookmarked, for those stressful, or sad, days! Like everyone else, I loved the scampering paws!

54 berthaservant 09.02.08 at 4:23 am

Technically, Meg, Governor Palin is the presumptive nominee for the Vice-Presidency. Even the Republicans wouldn’t be stupid enough to consider her ready to be nominated as President…oh….wait….logic…breaking…down….
can’t…follow…talking points…..

…back to the door kittehs!!!!

55 Aesthetica 09.02.08 at 4:48 am

i hope the palin grandchild follows the insane family naming pattern, like tundra or caribou or algebra or hoops palin.

and i watched these kitties eleventy-thousand times. seriously!

56 DixiesMom 09.02.08 at 5:11 am

O.k., gotta love the THUMP of the kittybean connecting with the door at about 2:00…. and aaabsolutely no reaction to the head bop! Just… keeeps… playin’!

57 blair 09.02.08 at 6:09 am

that’s not a door

that’s a kitten vending machine

58 Lil 09.02.08 at 6:13 am

Damn! do those kitties ever sleep?!

59 a 09.02.08 at 7:21 am

Ah, siblingness.

60 Hon Glad 09.02.08 at 7:28 am

Happy, happy, happy happeee!

I favour Artichoke Palin for the Behbeh. :)

61 Subhangi 09.02.08 at 8:58 am

LOL! BAT BAT BAT BAT BAT BAT BAT NOM BAT BAT BAT BAT BAT…

Love the scrabbling sounds. I was giggling with glee at the thought of them swiping cookies from a jar.

62 Raemie L. 09.02.08 at 9:00 am

Squee at the batting and scramblingks!

63 Subhangi 09.02.08 at 9:09 am

P.S. I second AuntieMame – please keep ALL political talk and politicians out of CO, irrespective of the party! If you MUST allude to politics, please to have bebeh donkehs and bebeh elephants instead, k? Thxbai.

64 metsakins 09.02.08 at 12:11 pm

btw when they are older and no longer fit, the paw under the door will amuse them for hours on end. and hooman , wear thick socks when the time comes.

*wonders what kittens are available at local humane society*

*no I can be strong*

65 mberkie0 09.02.08 at 12:23 pm

@Pie: That does look like a bebeh kitteh agenda. And these bebehs are stickin to it!

66 Katharine 09.02.08 at 1:10 pm

I’m all enjoying the kitties scampering about, chasing each other under the door, when my spoilsport cabinetmaker spouse, on his way out the door to work, walks up to my computer, takes a look, and says, “Nobody cuts a door that high! Only a home owner would do that!” Snerk.

67 snorglepup 09.02.08 at 1:12 pm

Oh, the things I could do if I didn’t have such a big butt!

68 Dick Cassidy 09.02.08 at 1:36 pm

A thundering herd and the sound of a thousand hoof beats — from two kittens. And about 2 minutes in, there’s a pronounced thumb when Nimrod 1 forgot to duck his/her head going under the door. Great stuff.

69 Dick Cassidy 09.02.08 at 1:36 pm

Or thump, if you prefer.

70 metsakins 09.02.08 at 2:29 pm

Katharine – if I showed you what a helpful neighbor did to one of my doors, your husband would have nightmares.

71 Jon 09.02.08 at 2:40 pm

Dan Quayle thought it was bad for FICTIONAL characters to have babies out of wedlock.

72 Theresa 09.02.08 at 3:20 pm

WOW. Just WOW. Flashback to when my Dante was playing 23 hours a day. Also love how they get so over-stimmed that they attack their shadows. ;)

73 Theresa 09.02.08 at 3:36 pm

PS, every time I hear about “Palin” for VP, I have a moment’s hope that Michael Palin might be a heartbeat away from the White House. Then I remember . . . :P

74 crackjob 09.02.08 at 3:40 pm

Thunderpaws!

75 Katrina 09.02.08 at 4:40 pm

Now THAT is some fancy tap dancing!
Theresa-if only…….

76 Katharine 09.02.08 at 5:04 pm

Metsakins, I can’t take cabinetmaker hubby anywhere without him giving me a detailed rundown of how the cabinetry in whatever place we’re visiting was built and how it *should* have been built. Sigh.

77 Kathleen 09.02.08 at 5:33 pm

PitterPatter of little feet!

78 lilspotteddog 09.02.08 at 5:38 pm

If only we could harness all that boundless energy…. Who needs petroleum? An excellent midday break of cuteness.

79 Al 09.02.08 at 5:58 pm

Hey, do a La La La video for how Obama’s two private sector projects both failed and put millions of dollars into the hands of Tony Rezko and Bill Ayers.

Cute!

80 leslie 09.02.08 at 6:25 pm

How much fun are two kittens???

1. Enjoyed the concept of the door’s new definition as “kitten vending machine”
2. Back to the earlier question… how could the person who posted his/ her comment, even consider the idea of removing the door? It & the kittens provided FREE JOY to themselves & to us!!

81 Harold 09.02.08 at 6:30 pm

I use to enjoy coming to this site. Now it has hit bottom by going down the dirty road of politics of personal attacks. Removing this site from my bookmarks. :(

82 Sonia 09.02.08 at 6:37 pm

Want!

83 Katrina 09.02.08 at 7:17 pm

OK, politics is all around us. I’ll back off if everyone else backs off. There is plenty of space for political stuff elsewhere, hmmm? (At least ours were funny.) I know I’m not the moderator, but I just don’t want to read flares here? How does everyone else feel? This is CO and as such should be off limits, IMHO.

Winston, remember, we love you when….

84 Katrina 09.02.08 at 10:22 pm

Well, Harold, I never…..

Yes Wagthedogma, this is
cattenluurkensproinginenein!

When they get bigger will the kitten be like Jeter and his square hole?
But seriously folks mppmmhmphmepmrmr…never mind.

85 Theo 09.02.08 at 11:02 pm

Oh noes, Harold. Oh noes.

86 MicSix 09.02.08 at 11:46 pm

I bought my 2 year old daughter a about 10 years ago toy called “bounce around Tigger -you would push down his head and he would hop up and down” When I saw this the phrase “pounce around Kitties” just popped in my head. LOL – oh Carp. I just harshed my cute buzz thinking How she’s a young lady now – um I think there is something in my eye….

87 warrior rabbit 09.03.08 at 12:00 am

I usually don’t care for irrelevant political comments (irrelevant as pertaining to cutesy aminals) coming out of nowhere by commenters, which is usually how it happens — but Meg opened the door and it’s her blog. So, I don’t feel I can complain or attempt to set ground rules.

88 Megumi 09.03.08 at 1:40 am

Still think the political stuff isn’t called for. Can we just go back to nuffing cats’n'racks?
…critters’n'cleavage?

[Oh who does THAT anymore? Heh. How about Cakes'n'Wrecks? - Ed.]
[http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2008/08/boobs.html ]
[I'm not making that up, btw, and neither is Cake Wrecks - Ed.]

89 Megumi 09.03.08 at 1:58 am

Well, I’d submit my own ‘n’Racks photo, but I don’t think my koi would cooperate.

…oh my. Cakes’n'Racks. *shakes head* Try explaining how THAT frosting got *there*. XD

90 Hon Glad 09.03.08 at 4:37 am

Megumi: Don’t be Koi, givas a flash. :0}

91 Tracey Weiss 09.03.08 at 4:42 am

To those curious about the door height, it’s VERY common in manufactured homes for inside doors to be a good 2 inches or so off the ground. I don’t know why but that’s the way they build ‘em. Makes you wonder because modern manufactured homes are so WELL built everywhere else with their vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, picture windows and great insulation. It’s a head scratcher.

92 alexa 09.03.08 at 4:51 am

when we first brought home our
now 4 month old kitten Emma she was no bigger then a handful as we say around here. I put her in the bathroom until i could set up a room where she could be introduced to the other cats one by one. Not two minutes later i saw her scampering around the kitchen.
” who let the kitten out of the bathroom”!! my teens and hubby said they hadn’t. my hubby wondered if maybe she crawled out from under the bathroom door. ” there’s no way she could, it’s a very tiny space between door an floor.” we put her back in the bathroom and damn if she did’nt pull a ferret. She just flattened out her body and squirmed under the door. Ms.jello spine wanted out to play with the others. So of course out she stayed.
It surprised us all that she could get so flat but it still makes us laugh. it’s become a family story of Emma’s first day as a member of our family.

93 angie 09.03.08 at 7:00 am

i could watch those kitties all day! why does the one look like he’s waving his paws in the air like he’s playing with an invisible ball? :52 is so cute!! looks like he’s trying to pounce at air! i wonder why he was doing that. is that something that kittens do?

94 SarahMoon 09.03.08 at 8:28 am

I love the sort of mid-pounce-second-thoughts paw waggle. Like… “Raaagh…wait, is this such a good idea?…oh well too late now – raagh!”

95 Sharon 09.03.08 at 11:45 am

Awww guys, you HAFTA watch the video that comes up in the list after this one finishes. I think it might be the same ppl, as the opening credits are the same. This one’s called “Perci the Kitten – “Attack Mode”. What a cutie with his Yoda ears and purry kitty-kisses. Squee!! Both vids are excellent.

96 Sam 09.03.08 at 2:23 pm

Erm, I didn’t mean to cause consternation. I hate conflict — all I intended was some good-natured bipartisan ribbing. Back to the cuteness, perhaps?

97 Melissa 09.03.08 at 3:56 pm

Hee… when my two cats were kittens, one always used to try to bite the other one’s tail like that!

@angie: Kittens do pounce at air! At least, mine always did. But in the video, if you look really closely, there is a bug at one point.

98 DaytimeDeb 09.03.08 at 5:33 pm

My doors are all that high from the ground. When I moved in, the place was carpeted. I removed the carpets and refinished the hardwood floors, but left the doors alone. Now they are “too high” from the ground, but my kitties love ‘em that way!

99 warrior rabbit 09.03.08 at 6:44 pm

There’re a bunch of other videos starring Captain Peanut and Perci. More door cracks, kittens riding on top of their people’s heads, Captain Peanut developing a fascination for water… Adorable!

100 Kar 09.04.08 at 7:40 am

You do realize that you’re going to have to chop off about four inches from the bottom of that door over time, don’t you?

101 Sabrina 09.04.08 at 2:20 pm

You got a mighty big crack.

102 Bluffho 10.05.08 at 5:35 pm

Wow – I just stumbled across this… those are MY kitties! Who knew they would become so famous from one cute little youtube video we posted? Love my babies! Thanks to whoever featured them here!
