I wonder what’s on The Tuna Channel?

"Hey, boss, this new high-definition TV is amazing!  Just look at the detail in those scales!"

Isn't it bad for your eyes to sit that close?

I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess "tuna," Kim S.

    Takes “peeping tom” to a whole new level!

    Very strong, very intent kitty (recently retired from the cirque du soleil?).

  2. Leslie says:

    What amazing upper-body strength!

  3. Trabb's Boy says:

    Man, that kitty gonna have Schwartzenegger arms if its owners don’t get ‘em a stool.

  4. Berg says:

    Kittehs are amazing! That is some serious strength in the front toes.

    I wonder what the fish were thinking…

  5. CoffeeCup says:

    I bet they were thinking “Gojira! Gojira!” (and I don’t mean the French metal band)

  6. kar says:

    HOw the heck is he staying up there? Lookit those little back toesies! They’re not digging deep into the wood.

    Is he Spideycat?

    [Sheer grim determination. "Oh yes -- they WILL be mine." Something along those lines... - Ed.]

  7. Michelle says:

    my- what big eyes you have!

  8. debg says:

    Those kitties. They amaze me every day. What a beautiful baby!

  9. chanpon says:

    Kitty: Alright all you liddle weakling fishies.. Ahm goin’ to pump you up..!
    *flexes*

  10. platedlizard says:

    Good thing the tank has a hood!

    What do you think, next body-building star?

  11. Jancy says:

    And if you check out the kittahs reflection in the tank, there’s a massive smile!

  12. DKN says:

    devastating crash in 3…2…1…

  13. AuntieMame says:

    Wow, kitteh is either really strong or he’s achieved the perfect balance point between his front paw, back paws, and tail. (Don’t you wonder what they’re thinking when they stare into a fish tank? Television? Hors d’oeuvres?)

  14. skip says:

    I think the photo was taken just as the cat got up there, I don’t think that pose was maintained for more than a second or two. Beautiful coat markings, though! I love the reddish spots.

  15. Jackie says:

    All I want for Christmas is ___________

    A stool?
    A kitteh Bo-Flex?
    A chance to go on the aquarium diving excursion???

  16. binky-mama says:

    Ummmm…hello? Kitteh is clearly in need of a feline viewing perch, preferably padded and laced with catnip. Where are his negligent human-servants? *rolling eyes* Some people….

  17. Jmper says:

    @AuntieMame: Me thinks kitteh is thinking…”Ouch my face has smashed into an invisible wall and the fishes are laughing at me”

  18. Acacia says:

    i have that fish tank!

  19. Von Zeppelin says:

    That’s a pretty fancy 3-D television. In the old days of consoles and rabbit ear antennas, they would have said, “Tuna in tomorrow on most of these same stations. . .”

  20. Cary says:

    … Man, I can’t do even one pull-up, and this cat is kicking my rear in the upper-body strength.

  21. Zanna says:

    That kitty should be named ‘Hercules’ or maybe ‘Machiste’. :)

  22. (the original) Mel says:

    See how the intrepid Furry Leopardfish stalks its prey deep in the jungles of the living/dining area. *jungle noises*

  23. eikoleigh says:

    omg, hahahaha

  24. Spider kitteh – Spider kitteh – does whatever a Spider kitteh does….

    (w/ apologies to H.J. Simpson)

  29. Jezebel says:

    And if you look very closely you can see cat face smudges on the glass.

  30. jen says:

    i think its time to get kitty a perch.

  31. A Fish’s Santy Claus

    He’s takin’ a fish,
    he’s checking it twice,
    he’s gonna find out who’s naughty who’s nice.

    Santa CLAWS is comin’ to town.

    [music gets very minor and sinister here.]

  32. a fishy Santy Claus

  33. warrior rabbit says:

    A fishing Santa Claws.

  34. Theo says:

    A fishery Sandy Clawz. (etc.)

  35. Decca says:

    He’s choosing the catch of the day.

  36. Gail (the first one) says:

    “Okay, I’ll have a goldfish for appetizer, a goldfish for the main course and a goldfish for pudding.”

  37. Michelle S says:

    ahahaha! Not so close! You’ll strain your eyes!

  40. Jiffknee says:

    “Aaaaagh! Gogglor!”
    something like that I imagine was what the feeshies were thinking . . .

  41. pyrit says:

    I’m a catfish! Lemme in!

  42. AlbertaGirl says:

    I can’t believe no one has mentioned the tocks! THE TOCKS!!!

  43. tblue says:

    When are you going to link to the Golden Retriever puppycam? http://www.ustream.tv/channel/shayla-%26-her-golden-retriever-puppies

    (I can’t seem to get anything to you via your email link, which is why I put info like this into comments on other CO posts.)

  44. warrior rabbit says:

    Well, I can’t see the tocks very well, but the flanks have a nice look to them. I like the orange-y bits on the elbow and the top of the head.

    Jackie, I remember that video — it was posted here on CO once a couple of years ago. Hysterical! Then it was pulled from YouTube. Glad to see it popped up somewhere else…

  45. otowi says:

    That looks like a bobcat….

  46. Dave Zeman says:

    now that’s funny. I wish I had a picture of our crew flinging themselves at the patio window to get the red squirrel clinging to the screen.

  47. platedlizard says:

    otowi-

    nah, bobcats have BIG paws and tasseled ears. This guy looks like a normal tabby, possibly even a bit of bengal but I doubt it.

    He’s probably swishing his tail at the sight of all those fishies.

  48. michelle says:

    Wow that kitty has some serious upper body strength.

  49. Hon Glad says:

    “One day my pretties, one day”

  50. Caitlin says:

    Awww, he’s a spotty tabby just like my Geordi! Only we don’t have a Fish-O-Vision to amuse the poor baby :P

  51. gravyboat says:

    Heheheheheheh…”tuna channel”.

  52. Karen says:

    He looks Bengal-ey to me. And Bengals are amazingly strong.

  53. jeff says:

    the cat is a pixie bob! pretty rare brand !!

  54. jeff says:

    The Pixie-Bob is a breed of cat claimed by breed founder Carol Ann Brewers to be a progeny of naturally occurring Bobcat hybrids .
