  10. victoreia says:

    As a blanket warmer goes, these lights are a little scattered….

  11. M. says:

    How did it get the twinkle lights in its eyes?

  12. Laura says:

    Oh dear….I can just imagine the astronomic KERFLUFFLE if I did that to one of mine. I would end up wrapped in the lights and probably hanging from the ceiling. bleeding profusely.

    That said what a BEAUTIFUL CATTY!! And CHECK OUUT the slightly open MOUF!

  13. Berg says:

    This is the kitteh version of “pouty lips,” right? I love the innocent look and the nose spot!

  14. temperance says:

    socks looks like he’s been having some trouble drinking his hot cocoa- a big dribble down his chin, and a smudge of chocolate on his nose i just wanna nibble on.

  29. Theo says:

    Heh, Peter Jackson used that effect for Galadriel, too.

  30. Erebella says:

    Oh, I wanna put that twinkly angel on top of my Christmas tree!

  31. Kali says:

    well that kitteh must have done something right. everytime my dad gets the christmas tree lights out theres always a million bulbs missing or not working. I for one would like to hire this kitteh to untangle our lights from now on!

  32. Melanie says:

  33. YourMother says:

    Fried pussy cat

  34. berthaservant says:

    I love holiday kitteh pics.

    This post, however, reminds me of the sad news that former first cat Socks is not doing well.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/12/12/clintons-socks-the-cat-ne_n_150701.html

    He’s one of the few famous Presidential cats — send him your love!

  35. Hon Glad says:

    Very illuminating.

  36. robin says:

    what an absolutely beautiful kitty. he/she reminds me of my kitty, Oreo, who was part Maine Coon and had that same beautiful, soulful face. I love the reflection in your kitty’s eyes. precious, precious, precious.

  37. gravyboat says:

    Awwww! How preeeeeeetttttty!

  38. Marie says:

    That’s friggin precious! What else is there to say?

  41. ButtaRumCake says:

    *giggles out loud* @ chanpon! UL approved LOLOL

  42. Nancy says:

    Adorable – Kitty gettin’ lit for xmas! Must have been the nipnog.

  43. cataddict says:

    You know, Teho – you could always go with a “12 days of Christmas” theme in 2010…

  44. Theo says:

  45. Aelfwyn says:

    Theo, I was thinking of Galadriel’s elven starlit eyes too.

  46. eknirb says:

    That kitty is a ‘him,’ his name is Sherman!

  47. T.U.M. says:

    Oh, my dear departed Yevgeny loved him some Christmas. Give him a cat toy and he was all meh, but give him a Christmas decoration and he went Nutters McFrisky. Never seen a fifteen-pound cat before or since who could sleep halfway up the Christmas tree every single night of December without falling out once.

    He was even a gray tuxie like the feller in the picture.

  48. Gail (the first one) says:

    @Nancy: “nipnog”!!!! LOL!!! That accounts for the shiny (glazed?) eyes!!

    I sense a photo opportunity for my kittehs! All I need is a box, a blankie and a string of lights and wait for a kitteh to pass by!

  49. cataddict says:

    Teho: Umm, well, maybe not quite what I had in mind.

  50. cataddict says:

    Teho: um well, that’s not quite what I had in mind…. but close!

  51. Nancy says:

    Sherman the Adorables. Melanie, it MUST be a kitty glamour shot! I’ll say it again…adorables.

  52. Annie says:

    Santa Kitty, slip a Kitten under my tree, For me.
    been an awful good girl, Santa Kitty,
    so hurry down the chimney tonight.

    Santa Kitty, a sweet little parakeet too,
    Light blue.
    I’ll wait up for you dear,
    Santa Kitty, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

    Santa kitty, I wanna dog with spots,
    And really that’s not a lot,
    Been an angel all year,
    Santa kitty, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

    Come and trim my Christmas tree,
    With Kitty Lights from Tiffany’s,
    I really do believe in you,
    Let’s see if you believe in me,

    Santa Kitty I forgot to mention one more thing
    a bun the kind you hold and bounces around having fun.
    Santa Kitty so hurry down the Chimney tonight!

  53. Well done on the kitty ditty! Bravo!

    Such a pretty kitty!

    I’m thinking the name “Socks” just ain’t fittin’!

    How about Zsa Zsa? or Cartier? or Tiffany?

    [eyes blink demurely]
    darrrrrrrr- linnnnnnnng

  54. Poohbear says:

    Xcept for the nosicle spot, Sherman could by my own sweet grey tuxie’s identical twin – same markings, same ear tufts and fluff, same slightly befuddled expreshe ! My Thomas Theodore Trotwood may not be the brightest bulb in the string of Christmas lights but he’s a sweet, purring lovebug who’s never met a human he didn’t like! ♥♥♥

  55. Kristabelle says:

    Gosh, what a beautiful kitty!

  56. Kimski says:

    I love the light bulb right in his axis of snorgle.

  57. thelibrarianne says:

    If you superimpose the close-up pic onto the top, a la 70s senior photo, that would make a lovely mantelpiece picture. :D

  58. Annie says:

    He is so Adorable I made him my desk top back ground at work. WHere all that come thru can admire him

  59. eknirb says:

    annie if you want a full-size photo for desktop i can send it.

  60. Lerrinus says:

  61. scooterpants says:

  62. deborah says:
