    I wonder if adorable kittehs were part of Julia Child’s spy missions.

  3. Hon Glad says:

    Oh it’s such a strain to look this good.

  4. Nik says:

    Judging by the sweetness of the ingredients, I’d say we are definitely making a Dessert Kitty here…

  5. jen says:

    Al Dente?

    might i have a neeble?

  6. itsmemom says:

    What strain of kitteh is this? >”<

  7. chanpon says:

    Curious. Kitty’s are clearly part liquid, but they don’t leak!

  8. Metz says:

    (beeps kittn nose repeatedly)(is there a nose beep-hab?)

    Mmmm warm and toasty fresh from teh oven.

  9. Kar says:

    I am convinced that cats have an innate ability to find settings that make them look good. I love how the red brings out his coat and pink little nose.

    Pasta Pusstanesca?
    Chicken Catciatore?

  11. Anne Pole says:

    When did Julia Child (RIP) get that foreign accent?

  12. mberkie0 says:

    I fits in it, so I sits in it.

  13. foxy says:

    I don’t think that kitteh is ripe yet, the marmies aren’t really good until dark orange.

    But I’ll take it anyway, because it’s my birthday and I’ll steal if I want to.

  14. Theresa says:

    It’s a hammock!

  15. firefinch says:

    A picture for next year’s CO colander … um, calendar.

  16. Pheas says:

    I see boxhab in that kitteh’s future. Sad at so young an age!

  17. Poohbear says:

    Nooooooh ! no kitteh in zeh oven, kitteh in mah lap.

  18. Gail (the first one) says:

    *say in high, quavery voice* If you do not have a strainer, simply place the kitty in a square of cheesecloth and squeeze gently….

  19. Katrina says:

    Be careful with that nibbling, if s/he is al dente.

    Happy Birthday foxy!

    Such a sweet picture, I bet the person who found the cat-in-the colander just let it sit there for as long as it wanted! I know I would have gone and found found a piece of cheesecloth, or other straining device, so as not to disturb zee kitteh. Honk-shu!

    Matchingks–silvery-peach kitteh and silver strainer?

  21. thicktortiethintabby says:

    Also matchingks–colander “legs” and flowers in background! Fantastic composhishe, overall!

  22. DKN says:

    LOL! My thoughts exactly, Anne Pole.

  23. confuzedmuze says:

    om nom nom. *nibbles kitteh eerz* delish! After straining, place kitten in a warm sunny place for 50-60 minutes, or until doubled in size.

  24. Theo says:

    You peeps. Heh. You’s awesome.
    I think I’ll be heading upstairs to the kittchen myself.

  25. catloveschanel says:

    I would like to order one in aqua, to match my mixmaster AND my flowers, but I am wondering if I can put that in the dishwasher?

  26. kodalai says:

    Also matchinks — color of cat & color of sunlight on wall in b/g?

  27. biscuithead says:

    Meatloaf?
    Again?

  28. Annie says:

    Now Gently poor the kitty into a fine strainer and allow to rest and drain for at least fifteen minutes
    meanwhile
    mix together your herbs and sauce in your serving bowl
    pour strained kitty into the bowl with sauce and toss gently

    when serving be sure to garnish with fresh catnip.

    IT will be a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.

  30. ThreeCatNight says:

    Ummm…delicious mellow caramel kitteh sauce, with a side order of pussghetti!

  31. Paunchie says:

    Do they have a kitchen on the porch? Or is the strainer there on purpose as a kitteh hammock??

  32. Paunchie says:

    “what about a last minute dinner party for 300?”
    (cookity cookity) VOILA!

  33. nancy says:

    dammit! firefinch beat me to the PUN-ch

  34. He’s straining to have a nap

  35. berthaservant says:

    Another great Santa Barbaran, still missed at the local farmer’s markets.

    (Julia, not kitteh…we still get fresh kitteh brought in every week from Santa Ynez).

  36. Theo says:

    I read that as “Santa Barbarian”. Ah’ll be bahk, ho ho ho.

  37. Andrea says:

    I know it seems odd, but at the animal shelter where I adopted my kitten, they had colanders in each cage, filled with towels / blankets–cheap and easy cat bed. So maybe all cats are secretly strained!
