Michael Phelps, your Wheaties sponsorship is oooooverrrr! [singsong]

by Meg on November 22, 2008

[Bob Costas whispers into microphone] "We now return to Olympic Caturday Whack-a-Mouse. The reigning champion; LeChat Lunatique, has held the Whack-a-mouse belt since ‘03. It was then that he whacked a staggering eight mice."

"Can he beat that personal best!? Let’s… take a look."

Phelps, you might lose your Speedo endorsement tooooo! [singsong]

I’m going to need a tear-jerking montage with inspiring music about the difficulties this kitteh has overcome in his life [beforehand/initially/for starters], please, Bob.

2 ash 11.22.08 at 1:34 pm

haha LOVED the *baroo?* right before number nine

3 Looloobelle 11.22.08 at 1:43 pm

LOL this is beyond redonk.
Aaaannndd……THWACK!

4 essensual 11.22.08 at 1:43 pm

Such dedicated coach too…

5 Theresa 11.22.08 at 1:45 pm

Where’s his mom? And the entire basketball team cheering wildly in the stands?

6 Theresa 11.22.08 at 1:46 pm

PS La Chat Lunatique– shnerk!

7 Allie Catt 11.22.08 at 2:00 pm

Sadly, his Olympic hopes were dashed when he admitted to using catnip & entered Box-hab.

My laugh for the morning, thanks!

I’m thinking this could be the beginning of a whole range of Caturday Olympic events. There’s bookshelf climbing (and the more difficult curtain climbing), yarn unspooling (extra points for creative arrangement of yarn around furniture legs), and the ever-popular toy mouse hallway racketball. Not to mention marathon sunbeam sitting.

11 Desdemona 11.22.08 at 3:04 pm

@ Theresa — Of course! Why did I not know this already?!! (Now tell me how I’m going to get anything done today!!)

12 SoCalSis 11.22.08 at 3:07 pm

I specially love the little mousy twitches. Now we need to see the “Nine Mouse” version for Extra Bonus Points.

Boy did I need this on this Caturday Morn. Laugh Out Loud funny. AHHHH. All better.

13 DLR 11.22.08 at 3:09 pm

ROFL! That was cute! Whacka-mouse right there! Bet kitty got a bunch of cat-nip as a prize, eh?

14 Linda H. 11.22.08 at 3:16 pm

BING!! OOF.

15 claudia 11.22.08 at 4:31 pm

YES! this kitty is in fine form, I tell you.I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next!

16 Not That Mike The Other Mike 11.22.08 at 4:36 pm

Oh wow, that is Chuck-E-Hilarious!

17 Annie 11.22.08 at 4:44 pm

Lilac My kitty found this very entertaining.
She watched the whole thing.

I am left giggling in a puddle on the floor.. as I am merely mortal and unable to comport myself with any amount of dignity after that.

18 Vampy 11.22.08 at 4:55 pm

I have GOT to make one of these for my kittehs!

19 berthaservant 11.22.08 at 5:23 pm

Next up: the daunting Skee-Ball competish.

20 whackamouse 11.22.08 at 5:36 pm

Numba 8: “OH HAI mousey!” *WHAMM!*

21 whackamouse 11.22.08 at 5:37 pm

ETA: meant numba 9.

22 Trisha 11.22.08 at 6:47 pm
23 nakey 11.22.08 at 7:00 pm

Lol! I like how, on mouse 9, the cat’s head goes sideways like, “you must be kidding me.”

24 berthaservant 11.22.08 at 7:20 pm

I’m sorry.

I meant the SQUEE-BALL competish, of course.

My bad.

25 JL Sigman 11.22.08 at 7:49 pm

@Theresa – THANKS for that link!

26 Jamie 11.22.08 at 8:00 pm

… I was using “not second” in a completely different context! Sheesh.

[...which is why I didn't unpublish your comment. Substituting the ICHC version isn't going to win you any points with me, though. - Ed.]

27 Jamie 11.22.08 at 8:17 pm

Okay, well, I apologize, I just didn’t want you to delete it again. I really wasn’t trying to make a first!!1! post.

If you’re going to edit my comments, you could at least correct my “an” to “a”. Thanks!

[Done... - Ed.]

28 lurkertype 11.22.08 at 8:53 pm

You know how when you don’t laugh “ha ha” but instead through your nose “snork” and it hurts?

Yeah, that’s what this did to me.

29 korppi 11.23.08 at 12:14 am

@lurkertype

yeah, same to me.. can’t stop giggling now

30 totalee puppy 11.23.08 at 2:30 am

Allie Catt-Brilliant!

31 hamster-on-rye 11.23.08 at 2:33 am

Desdemona–loved the Olympics, especial “marathon sunbeam-
sitting.”

32 cachorro 11.23.08 at 2:37 am

May I suggest a Friday-night game at the bar’n'grill called “Whack-a-Boss”?

33 C. 11.23.08 at 2:39 am

I wish my kitty was interested enough in mice to do that. Instead, he ignores them while they run back and forth underneath my kitchen appliances.

Speaking of which, do you people have any recommendations for mice-ridding a house in a humane way? Everyone tells me I’m either going to have to set traps or put poison out, and I really don’t want to do either.

34 Samantha 11.23.08 at 2:47 am

Man, my cat could totally beat that.

But probably with her teeth.

35 Barbarella von Fluffenstein! 11.23.08 at 10:42 am

Absolutely brilliant. :D

36 metsakins 11.23.08 at 5:27 pm

I too, loved the look on his face before mouse 9.

37 Eris 11.24.08 at 12:42 am

C. – they have humane mouse traps. They actually trap the little guys, but you have to be onhand to escort the traps outside to release them though, so if you’re squeamish about ‘em that could be a problem.

38 moneca 11.24.08 at 6:26 am

The look at 0:26 is priceless!!!

39 eikoleigh 11.24.08 at 6:35 am

truly redonkulous
