Normandy invasion.

3 R 10.04.08 at 1:10 am

At least 6 kittens and counting. and momma is just staring in disbelief!

“Kids….kids…the plate is down here!”

And even with jeans, those little claws hurt!

Ow..ow….OW!

4 Miriam 10.04.08 at 1:11 am

Catpants are totally the hottest new fashion must-have of the season. But I hear they’re hard to launder.

5 scooterpants 10.04.08 at 1:12 am

umm, and btw-
check the surroundinks-
this IS the MOST tolerant female (human) i have eva seen, gotta luf her…

6 Allison 10.04.08 at 1:13 am

OMG this cracks me up.

7 Helene 10.04.08 at 1:14 am

LOL!

I used to have a kitten that would climb on us like this, she did it to my boyfriend once when he was wearing shorts… And to my mom when she was wearing a dress…

8 GreyhoundMommy 10.04.08 at 1:15 am

Velcro Kittehs!!
The newest fall accessory.
I want one. Or two, please.

9 Jezebel 10.04.08 at 1:15 am

I think some fabric softener would solve that problem.

10 Helene 10.04.08 at 1:16 am

R, at that age, the claws are too small to go through jeans. So the first time it happens, you find it amazingly cute. Until she does it again and you’re not in jeans…

11 scooterpants 10.04.08 at 1:18 am

IS THAT KATIE HOLMES ????
i’d-a thought they would have a nicer kitchen???
least they got kitten-age.
snorf.

12 momof2kitties 10.04.08 at 1:22 am

Faux kitteh tree!

I want her job!!

*assumes tree-like posishe*

*is ignored by her own kittehs*

13 Suzy Cat 10.04.08 at 1:22 am

I thought only primates did this!! Oh well, live and learn…..

14 Mook 10.04.08 at 1:23 am

Excuse me, but you’ve got a serious static-cling problem going on…

15 Theo 10.04.08 at 1:24 am

Helene — too right. Gotta break them of that habit early. Hoo boy.

It’s hilarious and awesome, though, first time this happens.

16 binky-mama 10.04.08 at 1:24 am

Mama says:

“Now YOU know what it feels like now. Thank GOD these dang kids are weaned. Excuse me I am long overdue for some ‘me time’.”

*goes off to the kitty spa to get her nails done*

17 luckybat 10.04.08 at 1:26 am

I see a lot of boxhab in these kitties future!

And…sploding from cuteness…

18 Helene 10.04.08 at 1:27 am

Theo,

But… but… I don’t wanna break them of that habit! ::lower lip quivering::

I so need these pants for work. They would redefine casual day in the office.

*sits and wait for Flea’s sutffed animal pants to show up*

20 Katrina 10.04.08 at 1:30 am

OOOHHHHH, I want kitten pants!
Sisterhood of the feline pants?

21 Marianne 10.04.08 at 1:34 am

o this would be such a dream come true! thank goodness denim protects from those kitten claws!

22 cellarmouse 10.04.08 at 1:36 am

oh yeah…kittens climb just like bumbles bounce! hee, hee …smile

23 Noelegy 10.04.08 at 1:42 am

KITTEN PANTS!!!!

24 Theo 10.04.08 at 1:44 am

Why yes. Yes, they are.

25 sian 10.04.08 at 1:49 am

Ahn. This makes me think of My Neighbour Totoro, where the wee girls can just ‘jump’ onto Totoro and effectively attach themselves to him before he flies away…

26 veg 10.04.08 at 1:58 am

That mom cat is like, “Dude. I live with this 24/7.”

27 yankeebird 10.04.08 at 1:59 am

I want a pair of kittenpants!

28 Leslie Irish Evans 10.04.08 at 2:00 am
29 Tryna Merriman 10.04.08 at 2:10 am

It’s a human cat tree! LOL! If this isn’t the cutes picuture on the planet. Brings back memories of me volunteering @ our local animal shelter. Becuse I use a w/chair I often felt like a feline jungle gym for cats and kittens alike!

30 Totalee Puppy 10.04.08 at 2:18 am

Do these kitten pants make me look fat?

31 T.U.M. 10.04.08 at 2:19 am

Arr, it’s been a long time since I’ve worn Velcro Kitten Pants. I’d forgotten what they looked like.

32 blair 10.04.08 at 2:32 am

and when the other 94 come in from the other room, she’ll have a PeTA-approved fur coat

33 i_wuvs_puttins 10.04.08 at 2:34 am

Kittens are like Velcro, they stick to anything!

34 Bonnie on Gumdrop Mountain 10.04.08 at 2:34 am

When my cat Ryry was very little, I trained him to climb up my clothes to my shoulder- it was the cutest thing until one morning he climbed up my side before I got dressed. He made it up to my shoulder, too, clawing into my bare flesh all the way.

And hey, why no Tocktober posts yet?

35 Caitlin 10.04.08 at 2:35 am

This is so cute! But it sort of reminds me of a horror movie. :P You know, where scorpions/spiders/zombies are swarming the hapless victim before they can react. Oh noes!

36 Gail (the first one) 10.04.08 at 2:44 am

Egad, this reminds of me of fostering in Philly! And, I have the scars to prove it! The little darling I brought home is almost 6mos. and still wanting to “climb” Mama. With clothes or without. Less fun than you might think—LOL!

37 Jorden 10.04.08 at 2:57 am

What a great picture! Hilarious AND adorable!

38 Michelle S 10.04.08 at 2:59 am

I speak from experience when I say: nip this habit early or you will very much regret it.

39 T. 10.04.08 at 3:04 am

My parents have a big, long, muscular, ridiculously goofy big marmalade kitteh – he’s not fat, but he’s a BIG boy, and he is an absolute *clown*. He’s a very nice and gentle cat, but he’s sort of goofy and clumsy and a little bit weird. (Ah, marmies!)

One day, when I was visiting my folks, I was sitting around, minding my own business, sitting at the kitchen table, chatting with my mom or reading a book, and what does Goofy Marmalade Cat do? Out of nowhere, he bursts into a run, DASHES toward me, and SKITTERS UP MY BODY.

I was wearing tough clothing – jeans and a hoodie, since I was chilly, so I was none the worse for wear, but there is nothing more bizarre than a giant orange 18-lb tabby treating you like a kitty gym.

He hasn’t done anything like that before, or since. It was very, very bizarre.

40 smokeyJoe 10.04.08 at 3:10 am

furry little kitteh leeches.

41 AuntieMame 10.04.08 at 3:17 am

T. he probably saw a mouse. :)

42 Johanna 10.04.08 at 3:40 am

That’s some serious lint.

43 Mike G. 10.04.08 at 3:55 am

I just want to know when they’re gonna tell the Tabby he’s adopted.

44 kmira 10.04.08 at 4:18 am

I love how the Mommy cat has no control. Is there a Supernanny for this??

45 uncomplicatedly 10.04.08 at 4:35 am

duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh

duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh

CATPANTS!

46 berthaservant 10.04.08 at 4:35 am

Hey, yeah, it’s Tocktober. I remember last year Meg had a post that said, “Holy crap, it’s Tocktober!”

By the way. I’m just wondering re: this photo:

HOW DID THEY GET A CAMERA INTO HEAVEN???

Because that’s it right there.

Lots of kittehs and a goil in jeans.

47 Annika 10.04.08 at 4:49 am

“These are my favorite pants”

48 anner 10.04.08 at 4:50 am

it’s selma blair in “cute intentions!”

49 Juniper Jupiter 10.04.08 at 5:09 am

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! XD!!!

That is so kyoot!!!

And LOL @ uncomplicatedly!!!

That’s actually what Hubby and I sing all the time, cuz that’s whut he calls his sweatpants cuz our fuzzeh buddeh boy Nermal is a total magnet for those pants…goes right to sleep in his lap, lulz!!

50 Emily 10.04.08 at 5:14 am

It’s so like that scene in “Indiana Jones” with the killer ants. Two minutes later, she was eaten alive…

51 Shannon 10.04.08 at 5:16 am

I just noticed (in the bright sunlight) that I actually have a scar from a kitten scratch I got FOUR years ago!!!! It was literally just a scratch, but it was a very long one.

I’ll say she better be happy she is wearing jeans.

52 C. 10.04.08 at 5:51 am

“Don’t take this the wrong way, but is that a kitteh magnet in your pants?”

53 porlockjr 10.04.08 at 5:57 am

That is the most adorable thing I’ve seen since Michelle gave Barack the Terrorist Fist Bump.

54 Zombie 10.04.08 at 7:02 am

KITTEH PANTS NINJA SQUAD GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

55 Brak_Silverbone 10.04.08 at 8:04 am

Cutest case of static cling ever!

56 Kimbunny 10.04.08 at 9:22 am

6 kittens? I only see 5 (not counting the mommy). Am I missing one?

Also, I like those pretty periwinkle blue towels. :)

57 Barbarella von Fluffenstein! 10.04.08 at 9:41 am

Velcro Kittens! ;)

58 Emma 10.04.08 at 10:22 am

My kitteh used to do that when she was very small. Amusing, but painful!

59 Sunstorm 10.04.08 at 12:44 pm

I can just imagine the lady gently peeeeling off two kittes at a time and as soon as she sets them down they scramble up again. LOL!

60 jen 10.04.08 at 12:59 pm

ouchie ouchie ouchie ouchie ouch!
mama kitty’s all “yeah, whatcanyado”

61 starling 10.04.08 at 1:00 pm

My kitten used to do that and earned the name “Spidey”.

62 Totalee Puppy 10.04.08 at 1:08 pm

The “Country-Fresh Catnip”
dryer sheets work every time!

63 butterfly 10.04.08 at 1:32 pm

That lady looks EXACTLY like KATIE HOLMES!1!! But I don’t remember reading in People Magazine that she was raising a litter of kittehs…

:]

64 MamaDawn in Tulsa 10.04.08 at 2:19 pm

The results of this kitteh activity we call kittenrash. You get little pinpoint holes from those wicked sharp claws. When bottle feeding our rescue babies, we get it on the hands all the time (it is a badge of honor!).

65 Theresa 10.04.08 at 2:21 pm

Mom: “I was doing that before you were born!”

66 Helene 10.04.08 at 3:10 pm

The lower kitty with the blue yeems is asking for a C.O.X.C.U. Just saying.

67 Am 10.04.08 at 3:58 pm

One of ours carried this on well into adulthood – except she would jump for the hips, then climb onto the shoulders. Her brother, thankfully, worked out he was too large for this sort of thing.

68 jules 10.04.08 at 4:11 pm

Ha! My cat used to do that, fourteen years ago when she was a wee baby. But I only had one – look at all those bebehs climbing the jeans! Squeeee! (Also: ow!)

69 carmen 10.04.08 at 4:22 pm

I will take a pair in size 7 please.

70 Evan Waters 10.04.08 at 5:01 pm

A still from KINGDOM OF THE KITTEHS, starring Katie Holmes and William Shatner!

71 Katrina 10.04.08 at 5:02 pm

Carmen, dear, how many kittens can you possibly get on a size-7 pair of jeans?
Get a nice, big, baggy pair, with more Kitten Potential!
Yes, you’ll need a belt and/or suspenders, but that could be cute too, a kitten tool belt, perhaps? Kittens climbing up the suspenders?
I can see it.

72 Brandi 10.04.08 at 5:27 pm

Are you sure she’s (the human) is not saying.. hurry up and take the damn picture? Haha.. It’s like “wait honey, let me get the camera so I can send a picture in to C.O!” *runs to get camera* *kittens dig in little claws, making their ways up* “Hurry up already!”.. Small claws yes but I’d be surprised if she didn’t feel it at some a few times.

Luckily none of our cats are climbers, thou once one of them attacked my hubby’s leg while we were playing karaoke (she hates it) and he wasn’t wearing pants.. :P

73 Theresa 10.04.08 at 5:32 pm

These pants just have kittens on the OUTSIDE. You should see the pants with the kittens on the INSIDE.

74 Fegli 10.04.08 at 6:07 pm

Yes. These jeans are extremely marketable. They will hit stores for the winter collection.

75 momof2kitties 10.04.08 at 6:36 pm

Envisioning Brandi’s husband doing pants-less karaoke.

Hmmm…

Party at Brandi’s tonight!! :-)

76 T.U.M. 10.04.08 at 7:15 pm

Yeah, the blase mama cat is the crowning touch. She’s all, “Welcome to MY world, lady.”

77 jmuhj 10.04.08 at 7:32 pm

Scooter Scooter SCOOTER. No, that is NOT Kat of TomKat. And that is NOT her kitchen. Unless she has a BATHTUB in her kitchen. *HEE HEE*

What fur?
Cat fur, to make kitten britches!

78 ktnlvr 10.04.08 at 7:49 pm

i work at an animal shelter, we have this room full of kittens just frolicking around! i call it the kitten room…anyway, one time i went in to put down their tray of food and, no joke, about 8-10 crazy little fuzz-balls were clawing their way up my pants, 2 of them made it all the way up to my shoulders!! that’s made skill

79 Raemie L. 10.04.08 at 9:56 pm

So cute, and I’m laughing at the comments about mama kitteh.

80 Johanna 10.04.08 at 10:09 pm

Um, I just noticed: they’re in the bathroom.

81 Gail (the first one) 10.04.08 at 10:26 pm

LOL’ing at Brandi’s cat not liking their karaoke!!! What is kitteh objecting to? Is it song selection? One too many attempts at “The Lady is a Tramp”? Or is the lack of pants she objects to?

Cats!! Endlessly interesting.

82 yankeebird 10.04.08 at 11:46 pm

It’s a Pance Off Dance Off at Brandi’s house!!

83 David Spor 10.05.08 at 12:23 am

It’s a new form of acupuncture.

84 ZePenguin 10.05.08 at 12:23 am

oh gawd i miss that. kittens are so fab for that (not so much so when they think they can still do that when older and fatter and sharper…)
I need kittens in my house and on my pants again!

85 scooterpants 10.05.08 at 2:20 am

jmuhg-

THAT IS KATIE HOLMES CRUISE!
and those are their newest followers.
no arguments.
They rock dont they?
gafff-ahhh. snort.! :)

86 mom2twinzz 10.05.08 at 2:26 am

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

And if you guess the hooman you are WRONG

87 scooterpants 10.05.08 at 2:42 am

so , mom2twinzz- are they in bed???(or grown up? :)
oh- and the answer is Marmie !!!! duh.
and i love her shoes, used to have some and would kill to find another pair. anyone know where to find them?

88 Mary Sue 10.05.08 at 4:45 am

ATTACK KITTENS!

The newest in home defense

89 Pyracantha 10.05.08 at 5:38 am

It’s like when the 17-year cicadas come out of the earth and climb up the trees.

90 eikoleigh 10.05.08 at 7:33 am

LOL….love how that momma cat is chill over her babies crawling up the woman’s pants….

91 GreenEyedHawk 10.05.08 at 4:58 pm

haha that’s a pretty serious case of static cling….or should I say cat-ic cling?

92 Areinaka 10.06.08 at 2:39 am

Those kitties are totally spoiled. If you look on the counter there, you’ll notice “Royal Canin” cat food. Royal Canin is one of the most expensive foods on the market…

I only know this cause I work at Petco. And my mom’s two yorkies get fed Yorkshire formula Royal Canin dog food.

93 Sharon Wilson 10.06.08 at 4:18 am

I once saw a “Cat Fancy” article about a shelter, and it showed a stuffed pair of jeans standing up in the background, and the kittens LOVED climbing on it. “Yay! We can climb THESE jeans and nobody objects!”

94 Whitley 10.06.08 at 8:58 am

this ensemble is not complete until she has andy richter’s puppy coat.

95 tank 10.06.08 at 5:03 pm

this is what happens when you don’t use dryer sheets!

96 Chanya 10.06.08 at 5:03 pm

Man… I could really go for some kittie pants – where would one get such sartorial splendor?

97 Rosie A. 10.06.08 at 5:16 pm

One word: OUCH! Kitten claws are like tiny little needles! But I’d still wear teh paaaants!

98 catloveschanel 10.06.08 at 5:50 pm

Ah, I guess the kittehs have not gone to Scientology school yet. Otherwise, they’d be more serene. Course, with a dad like Tom always jumpin’ up and down on the couch I guess they’re just modeling his beeeee-haaaavve – ior. . .

99 Matthew S. 10.13.08 at 4:45 pm

“Please! Please, don’t leave the house with black shoes and white socks!!! We’re begging you!”

100 Rebecca 10.26.08 at 7:02 pm

She’s using Royal Canin kitten food…good for her! That stuff is the best premium kitten food you can use!
