    Looks kinda like food in a basket – yummy! I nom-nom the ears <3

  2. Shadyman says:

    Is this a new Firefox logo?

  3. Minya says:

    Heyyyy,

    Who snuck into my house and took a picture of my cat Norman?

  4. Selphie van der Boffin says:

    Seriously thought it was a pie.

  5. gatita bonita says:

    I know the feeling exactly!

  6. kibblenibble says:

    This marmie is so sweet and soft-looking. Isn’t it funny how cats will curl up in the tiniest of places? She makes *me* feel peaceful, just looking at her. Wish ‘peace on earth’was that easy. :-(

  7. Samantha says:

    I thought it was a pie too!

    Maybe the kitty was looking for 4 and 20 blackbirds…

    Marmie Pie
    You are driving me crazy
    I’m in love but I’m lazy
    So won’t you please come home

    You became a legend on the basket scene
    And now the thought of nomming you
    Makes me weak in the knees
    Tee-tee-tee

    Oh Marmie Pie
    You are making me frantic
    With your honk-shu-ing antic
    Come back to me Marmie Pie….

  9. Coffee says:

    At first I thought it was a pie with some kind of cute face in it. Then I saw the ears, and I thought it might be a misshapen pie…then, kitty. Lightbulb!

  10. AuntieMame says:

    Mmmm…marmie cheesecake.

  11. cellarmouse says:

    yin and yang! sleeping! they happy – mousies’safe! <:3

  12. cellarmouse says:

    (:

  13. PJ says:

    Looks like the Firefox logo. Too cool, my kitties love to sleep like this!

  14. claudia says:

    It’s amazing how they can curl up and stuff their heads in their floof… and sleep comfortably. I get panicked if I accidentally sleep with my face in my pillow!

    *wants to make an airhole for kitty* lol

  15. @PJ

    You got it.

    That kitty want to be left alone to bask in his kitty-ness

  16. taj says:

    Mmm… marmie pie! I bet it is warm. =)

  17. NotAnotherMilo says:

    I’m going to be humming Berthaservant’s song all night….

  18. Evangeline's servant says:

    WANT! This is one mighty-fine picture, and it would take more than 1000 words to describe this essence of comfy-cozy sleepness. Mighty fine picture-taking, person.

  19. Jenn says:

    So wonderful that the basket weaver measured teh kitteh so perfectly…

  20. Lizzy says:

    The swirly stripes are so hypnotic O_O …

    You’re right, kitty. 2009 hasn’t been good so far. For the third time in 10 years, someone I know has committed suicide. :(

  21. Look! You can count the rings to see how old it is!

  22. cheryl says:

    lizzy, i’m so very sorry.

  23. Juniper Jupiter says:

    Ya know, if you stick your face in the middle of that, it would be HEAVEN! :)

  24. M. says:

    :scroll down: What a yummy tart… what did they use for the crust?

  25. chanpon says:

    Looks like it’s time for neko-nabe! <3

  26. YourMother says:

    Hairiest pumpkin pie ever.

  27. writtenwyrdd says:

    Marmalade pastry! Yummm!

  28. Gail (the first one) says:

    Looks a little like Sweet Potato Pie!

  29. Theresa says:

    @Champon: “Always pans are too much crowded.” LOL!

  30. Theresa says:

    PS Spectacular red tabby! I’ve always wanted one– I always seem to get black and white cats. I have a red tabby buddy named Reggie, though.

  31. hamster-on-rye says:

    Lizzy, Thankful you are telling us because we care. What a terrible loss.

  32. lucy's mommeh says:

    Makes me think of my sweet boy Arthur (RIP, baby boy)….he would put himself into a basket or a box if it was on the floor, no matter how tiny it was.
    He was a sweet orange boy.

  33. hamster-on-rye says:

    Berthaservant–”Marmie Pie”
    seems very much YOU. Thanks!

    I thought kitty looked like
    an extra-large croissant.
    Forget it, Uncle Hamry, you
    are not Berthaservant…

  34. The Kitty Basketgram, perfect for dads, grads, and Valentine’s Day!

  35. hannah says:

    Hi everybody – I’m so excited to say that’s my mum’s cat Andy and I took the picture on Christmas eve – he was all tuckered out after helping us wrap pressies :o )
    thanks for all your lovely comments, and Andy will get extra smooshie squishy face snuggles1 xoxox H

  36. Ginger says:

    I am very sorry, Lizzy (patting screen on back). Anyway, is that the image they used for snorgle school? I heard that too many people couldn’t bear the burden of such proshness. It was a sad, sad scene. They had to bring in teams of not-cute photos to stop the senseless babbling.

  37. Kallisto says:

    @Hannah: great picture and great cat :o )

  38. Theresa says:

    @Gail, my mom looked at said “Pumpkin pie,” but I think it looks more sweet potato, too.

  39. haha… yeah, I think she looks like a LATTE (pumpkin pie works, too).

  40. Melissa says:

    He looks like pumpkin pie!

  41. berthaservant says:

    Hugs Lizzie. After I went through that last year, C.O. really got me through the harsh times. Many, many hugs!

  42. lurkertype says:

    Marmie pie! Sweet potato pie. Put a dollop of whipped cream on top of him and nom away.

  43. Squiggle says:

    I also thought ‘pie’when I saw this. Nice Beatles rewrite, Berthaservant.

    I think this kitteh needs baskethab. If indeed such a thing exists.

  44. skip says:

    berthaservant – excellent! *applause*

  45. Laura P. says:

    wow, i thought that would be a kitten pie at first, not a basket-case

  46. Cait says:

    People, people…are we dealing with a new addiction? In addition to boxhab, must we now add baskethab to the list for kittehs?

    This is serious, people!

  47. wannadance says:

    my heart is sad for your heart, lizzy.

    a soft living thang in a basket might get us through. some sorta thang.

    i feel the same way as this here now kitteh, though.

  48. Katrina says:

    Lizzy- best wishes to you through this devastating loss. We are here for you.

    Watch the video that chanpon sent in- eight minutes of wayyy-too-cute!

  49. January says:

    Very arty. One for the calendar for Thanksgiving maybe.

  50. Yoshi says:

    Mmm, lump of orange kitteh.

    Mine loves to pretend he is a loaf of bread. Ah, so much willpower is needed to resist buttering him up for some omnomnoms. >_>;

  51. Theo says:

    Who needs butter, Yoshi? *NOM*

  52. Katrina says:

    Lizzy-How are you today? I’m thinking of you with hugs and snorgles.

  53. stuck@work says:

    With the cinnamon flavored coffee I’m drinking, my first thought was a yummy, cinnamon swirled cinnamon roll. Ooey gooey and probably warm and fluffy in the center just the way a roll should be.

  54. PUPPIES! says:

    one word…………BASKETHAB!!!!

  55. Mama Cat says:

    I also enjoy empty containers for napping. More than that, I like to sit on things. It’s a hobby of mine.

  56. Shay says:

    my dog does this exact thing! on the couch, though, she’s too big for a wicker basket. ;)

  57. Gardenqueen says:

    I thought it was a punkin pie!
