Oh, that’s just not FAIR!!! I took my precious little kittie, Zora (6 months old) to be spayed today and I feel awful about it, even though I know it needs to be done. Now you go and post a picture like this and I feel even WORSE!! I DON’T DESERVE TO LIVE, KITTEH! I’m so sorry, Zora! Pweeeeze forgive me!!
OH…MY….GOODNESS!!! Those sad wittle eyes just draw you in until there is nothing left! Poor sad kitty – i will love you – i will clean your teeny pink nose and let you lay in whichever sunbeam you want. Please don’t be so sad!
Oh no! I did something bad today and this kitty reminds me of it.
I am taking care of a pound puppy. Today I had some things to do downtown and I took the puppy with me to socialize, so he wouldn’t have to be home alone. I had to go to the pharmacy, and I left the doggy outside, tied to a pole. I had to take a queue number to get my medicine. The queue was moving very slowly, and I was thinking all the time “Should I go pet my puppy, he’s there all alone… What if someone steals him… He must be scared…” But I didn’t go, I just stayed inside waiting for my turn. Then, right before it was my turn, a lady that I had seen a while before came up to me and said: “This is outrageous! Your little doggy has been there all alone for such a long time!” She walked out before I had a chance to say anything back. So, I bought my medicine and went outside where I had left the dog. There he was, crouched against a wall, shivering and looking really pathetic. No wonder someone got concerned, even though it was only about 15 minutes. Three security guards were keeping watch there, so luckily nobody had a chance to steal him. It looked like they were keeping watch of the dog. I felt really bad afterwards, and now I promise, that whenever I leave a dog outside a place where I have to take a queue number, I will check up on him or her if I have the time! Sorry, kitten! I promise to mend my ways!
I think the puppy was possibly scared, but it’s also very likely that a young dog not used to people, or open surroundings, was frightened by car noises, or even the woman who yelled at you. Older dogs probably wouldn’t be bothered. I’m sure this puppy is okay, but I’m glad you learned that you need to check up on young animals if they’re left alone.
The best lesson here, however, is to not mix personal errands with animals under your care. In this situation, I honestly don’t think there’s any reason to HAVE to take a dog with you. Just find another time to get your medicine, or leave the dog at home.
Sorry, I’m not trying to be mean, I just really see how you could avoid the situation, and IMO, “next time” checking up on the dog while it’s tied up outside on a leash isn’t good enough. It’s the environment that is probably scaring him, and being alone in an unfamiliar place. You should probably leave the dog behind until you can be with it at all times and keep an eye on it when you want to take it to socialize, like to the park. Dogs tied up to face people walking by and loud traffic noise isn’t socialization.
Did anyone click on the link and notice that the photographer sold this bundle of cuteness a little while ago? I would be disappointed if someone sold ME!
He looks like one of those little animal SPCA donation banks.. you know the ones w/ a little tear running down their cheek..! He’s crying because he wants to be adopted!..
I just watched the Engineer’s Guide to Voting and must say that when the CO dating service starts up, I get FIRST DIBS on Paul Klusman. (Seriously. Back off y’all. I’m bigger than you are.) That guy is heeee-larious!!
I don’t think those are nose boogers (the black things?). Aren’t they just markings?
Anyway, kitty needs a quick kiss and long cuddle. I volunteer.
Jelly, your confession was heartfelt (that kitty has awesome powers!). Although not a priest, I give you absolution. Now go forth and sin no more. (Like any of us can do that; but you are awesome for caring for the pound pupster).
@Jelly: Must have been a disturbing experience! Good for you, taking care of a rescue puppy! As CoffeeCup said, it might be better to leave puppy at home during errands. My dog (I adopted him from a shelter at a year old), still gets stressed out if, for example, I leave him in the car and he can see me go. I don’t know what caused it, but I’ve always imagined maybe somehow he got left behind and that was how he came to be a stray. Anyway, good luck and don’t feel bad!!!
Jelly… ignore the mean lady. People like to spout off when they truly don’t know the situation. My suggestion is not to socialize him less as has been said… that will make him more fearful. Get him out and socialize him more but take a friend and take turns leaving him for short amounts of time (1-2 minutes and progressing upwards to 5) so he gets used to the idea that it’s ok to be left with a stranger for a little bit. At no time should a dog be left alone, but I think we can honestly say that we’ve all done it at least once. If you have to be away for more than 5 minutes, though, it’s probably time to scrap that excursion and try it again without the dog later.
Thanks to our ever warmer climate, stray mommas have extra litters these days.
MAJOR overpopulation of unloved, sweet, tiny, fluff bomb cuties that look like this wee one.
Kitty thinks of the unfortunate other kittles who need us to adopt them.
And Love Them for Life.

I know I’m late to the party, (been really sick and missed CO for most of the week), but this kitteh looks like more like it is ‘fretting’, more than disapproving, pouting- maybe, maybe…, but it it thinking “kitten thoughts, kitten thoughts” for sure!
“Now, let ‘x’ equal the number of jumps I have to take to get up on that window, and ‘y’ equal the”..you know, deeeep kitten thoughts! Mathematicians, all!
Gail (the first one), thanks for the well-wishes. Yes, s/he is deep in thought- ‘pondering even…’(think Snagglepuss voice here).I am climbing my way back towards normality. I have some variation on a flu and man are my arms tired.
I see this little cutie as maybe deeply worried-maybe s/he was heavily invested in Lehman-hey it could happen.
Thanks, Gail(the first one)! I missed so many CO’s and so much peeping..I’ll take it a bit at a time, slowly,slowly.
It’s ‘cos it’s not Caturday yet.

The tiniest of moufs. Maybe she’s disappointed ’cause her nose needs to be tended to.
Because it’s mommy or daddy forgot to clean the eye and nose boogers from its cute widdle face.
Disapproval from bunnies, disappointment from kitties. I obviously don’t deserve to live!
i’m sorry! i’m sorry! please forgives me!!! i’m sorry kitty whatever it was pleeeeeeeez belieeeeeve!

This kitten reminds me of a young Haley Joel Osment.

Maybe he’s disappointed because you misspelled “it,” Meg.
The little bean is sad ’cause he has the nose boogers.
… or because of something you didn’t do!
‘It’s not that I’m angry I’m just…sigh…I’m just disappointed. I really thought you knew better than that.’
Elize, I just watched that video! Hysterical!!!
(whimpering little Haley Joel Osment voice) I see ded peeps.
Someone’s been reading newspaper headlines to this kitty – I know that look of trepidation!
Absolutely Haley Joel! And he’s sad having watched “the other candidate”‘s self-confessed “screw-up”. I’m sure of it.
Did anyone click on the link and notice that the photographer sold this bundle of cuteness a little while ago? I would be disappointed if someone sold ME!
Ooo, I know, I know! *jumps up and down, raises hand wildly*
It’s because you said you’d make us a CO Meet Cute Dating Service “Immediatleh,” and you hasn’t done it yet. :`(

Carrie–Good thoughts and cuddles with koalas are sent to your mom…and to you, also.
Why is this kitteh SO disappointed? Because she is not here with me to snorgle and cuddle.
In an aside to Jelly….SHEAME ON YOU.
I ATE MY ROOMMATE’S POPTARTS OH GOD I’M SORRY
