What’s For Dinner?

by Not That Mike The Other Mike on February 28, 2009

(Let’s see… I could make an omelette… nah, that’s too much work… Well, an English muffin and cheese sandwich sounds good… Maybe with some of that meatloaf?  Ick, there’s hair growing on it… Ooh, there’s some salsa left…)

Could be meat... could be cake...

Ya got enough beer, Joanna?

now to be fair, anything with “lite” in the name isn’t really beer. and i am willing to bet it was bought for the cat to drink anyway.

2 saz 02.28.09 at 10:37 pm

beer!

3 N. Fritz 02.28.09 at 10:38 pm

It’s meat-cake! George Carlin hovertext, I call!

4 Poohbear 02.28.09 at 10:38 pm

Meatloff !!

5 Poohbear 02.28.09 at 10:40 pm

(a guy’s fridge definiteleh)

Just don’t close the door !!

6 starling 02.28.09 at 10:42 pm

Hmmm, kitteh loaf. *nomnomnomnom*

7 Dexter Fishmore 02.28.09 at 10:58 pm

That kitty is chillaxin’. ( Emphasis on the “chill.”)

8 Birdcage 02.28.09 at 10:59 pm

I’m having flashbacks to my ex’s place: same brands of beer, same dang cat.

9 Meredith 02.28.09 at 10:59 pm

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn’t belong!

10 wannadance 02.28.09 at 11:25 pm

what meat loaf? what kitty?

ah cain’t see them.

i am going blind, in actuality, fer real, so could somebody tell me where they are? or at least the kitty?

hep’

the halt and the blind…

11 AuntieMame 02.28.09 at 11:30 pm

wannadance, check the bottom shelf, on top of the sour cream (or whatever it is) tub.

And *who* puts the milk back with just *that* much left in it???

12 Nik 02.28.09 at 11:33 pm

OMG. That is a funny photo…little kitty is just looking for the milk–it must be hiding behind the beer somewhere!

13 Patito Gigante 02.28.09 at 11:41 pm

George Carlin reference for the WIN!!!

14 fish eye no miko 02.28.09 at 11:48 pm

Re: the hovertext: Hey, what’s the from? I know I’ve seen that bit.

15 BouvieGal 02.28.09 at 11:48 pm

IM IN UR FRIDGE EATIN UR FOODZ!!1

16 JB 02.28.09 at 11:56 pm

Yeah, a guy’s fridge — but more like a guy with roommates.
Consider the evidence: two different brands of eggs on different shelves, beers divvied up on separate shelves and a syrup or juice on it’s side in the middle when it should be upright on the top shelf. It’s obvious the other two roommates from the middle and top shelves finished up their kitties days ago and the guy on the bottom shelf is trying to hide his so they don’t steal it and try to replace it later.
Funny cat.

17 JB 02.28.09 at 11:59 pm

An afterthought: Who leaves their fridge open long enough for a kitty to crawl in and get THAT comfy? Probably college students. Ahhhh, those were the days… :)

18 DumBunny 03.01.09 at 12:10 am

Wannadance, it’s just below the blue can.

19 Rosie Posie 03.01.09 at 12:12 am

George Carlin! Yay!

Could be meat… could be cake. Honey, we’ve invented meatcake!

20 DumBunny 03.01.09 at 12:13 am

oh, and they’re now talking pneumonia

21 DumBunny 03.01.09 at 12:14 am

sorry, talking

22 Carmelly 03.01.09 at 12:37 am

Aww, I feel less awesome for catching the George Carlin reference now, ’cause several others beat me to it. But still… meatcake ftw :)

23 new york kitty 03.01.09 at 12:48 am

This is just an internet kitty-geek paying homage to the Lolcats of Yore.

24 Christy 03.01.09 at 1:08 am

PBR, Miller Light, def college boys.

25 Von Zeppelin 03.01.09 at 1:33 am

@ JB–Another reason we know this is a guy’s fridge (and I speak from personal experience, as one of that species) is that he has not noticed the cat, because the kitty is at the back of the shelf. Persons of the male gender can only see things at the very front of the shelf in the refrigerator–hence the strategic placement of the beer. If the fridge owner were actually LOOKING for the cat, he would stare blankly into the fridge, and then call in in a loud, whiny voice to his wife, “Honey, do you know where the cat is?” This is a condition called “refrigerator blindness,” induced by the light inside the fridge. It is a genetic condition connected to the Y chromosome.

26 Nancy 03.01.09 at 1:52 am

Jaysus, wheres that fridge, southy? pabst, miller light and leffe?

27 Jennie Mello 03.01.09 at 2:00 am

I love how we’re all examining the contents of the fridge, rather than admiring the kooky kitty. By the way, I think that is an enormous container of salsa, on its side, rather than juice.
And it’s my birthday today.

28 skip 03.01.09 at 2:02 am

“Who ate a cat and just put the head back in the fridge? You know I hate it when you do that.”

29 i_wuvs_puttins 03.01.09 at 2:06 am

Puttins wants a brewski!

Happy birthday, Jennie!

30 Levi-Ann 03.01.09 at 2:08 am

hahaha did anyone else notice how much eggs they have aswell?
must be a shared fridge….

31 Hi 03.01.09 at 2:13 am

Don’t you see that cat is scared ? Worried ? Not at ease ?
Not cute ?

32 scoobie 03.01.09 at 2:16 am

I wanna know who said an American diet was so bad? Cheese, more cheese, beer, kitties. What’s bad with that?

33 Theresa 03.01.09 at 2:25 am

Snerk! Beer much?

34 leiabelle 03.01.09 at 2:27 am

Refrigerator cat is watching you masticate! ^_^

36 Trisha 03.01.09 at 2:30 am

OMG— I thought that Picky eater reference would live in my childhood forever! I don’t like pink bicycle tires either!

37 JB 03.01.09 at 2:37 am

Jennie Mello, Happy Birthday! Celebrate safely — you can have the whole bottom shelf of beer if you’re of age and aren’t driving. But we’re saving the cat head for Sunday dinner. ‘k?

skip — Half eaten kitty? or just whole fresh Head Cheeeeeese? Bleck!

Von Zeppelin — thou truly knowest thyself and thy brethren of the species. ‘Tis a quality to be admired. :) But your observation begs further questioning: does fridge blindness mean that if YOU crawl inside and shut the door behind yourself, all that you seek will be revealed to you? (Ummm, note of caution to your Y chromosome: Don’t try this at home!)

Party at Joannas!

45 JB 03.01.09 at 2:49 am

@ Hi — appreciate your concern. My guess is kitty’s hyper-alert or just got caught red-pawed. My cat gets the same look when there are many people in the house and she perches at the top of the stairs observing everyone or when she starts knocking things off my dresser to wake me up.
Guessing kitty crawled in the fridge and her people set up things around her for the photo — don’t think they have her sleeping there or anything.
And this comes from someone who is ALWAYS alert to animals in distress.
‘tsall just my take of the pic, though. j

46 ATanzer 03.01.09 at 2:59 am

It looks like there’s some tonic water in there, lying on it’s side behind the PBR’s, just under the kittie’s chin. Maybe he wanted a nice G+T?

47 Kar 03.01.09 at 3:01 am

That bottle in the upper right hand corner ain’t lite. Believe me. Of course, I use it purely for cooking.

I Love the way his tail is wrapped around the container of sr cream/cottage cheese/dairy product.

“This is mine”

48 balamuthia 03.01.09 at 3:06 am

LMFAO @ Skip!

49 Frankie 03.01.09 at 3:38 am

Jennie Mello…Happy Birthday! We’ll get you the
birthday tub of salsa with the grande rancho chips.

50 Susan 03.01.09 at 3:44 am

I actually did accidentally close one of my cats in the fridge for a short time when she was a kitten. She’s fine – stupid as can be, but fine.

51 cachorro 03.01.09 at 3:49 am

At first all I could see
was a cute stripey cat head…could this be the
Cheshire cat? Oh wait…the cat isn’t grinning…

52 Nana 03.01.09 at 3:51 am

My late cat Mya, as a youngun, used to get herself into all sorts of things, including refrigerators, attics and car roofs (not known until we were downtown and heard all the honking!) with no one noticing. She was a master at it! And we weren’t even drunk! Amazingly, she lived 14 happy years (although I must admit she cut down on the shenanigans after about the age of 5).

53 totalee puppy 03.01.09 at 3:54 am

Why don’t I get a kitteh
with my refrigerator? Is that a valued customer
upgrade?

54 Kristen 03.01.09 at 4:06 am

I believe there are pita pockets, cream cheese and brown eggs there. Not guy food, right? And lite beer…maybe the cat’s on a diet!

55 hamster-on-rye 03.01.09 at 4:10 am

Why do I wonder if the eggs on the bottom shelf are from free-roaming hens?

56 chanpon 03.01.09 at 4:13 am

Just another typical bachelor’s fridge:
beer, eggs, beer, cream cheese, beer, soda, beer, kitty head, beer…

57 katiebug 03.01.09 at 4:17 am

tell me that nuff was a joke.

58 Selphie le Boffin 03.01.09 at 4:19 am

Who cares about the fridge contents? Look at the kitteh! Such a sweet face.

59 kibblenibble 03.01.09 at 4:33 am

She IS sweet! And when she climbs out, everything will topple over and they’ll have to cram it all back in…

60 wannadance 03.01.09 at 4:41 am

okay, have located what i believe to be a ghostly kitty head with white paws? below the blue can? on top of plastic container.?

i cannot tell you how weird it is to really and truly not be able to see the stuff yall are talking about.

were i a different personality type, i would come to believe that everyone is making fun of me. but, fortunately, i believe there’s a kitty there and can sort of see white dots in said location.

man. weird.

thanks for the hep.

61 HRHQueenCat 03.01.09 at 4:42 am

eggz, salsa & beer – small wonder kitteh is hiding in the fridge …

holding its breath …

wishing for open windowz …

and a strong breeze …

after the guys eat …

phew !!!

*handing sweet kitteh some nip*

you will survive, little one

62 wannadance 03.01.09 at 4:45 am

besides, once, in a somewhat george carlin chemical state, my friend and i, respectively, put the ham on the back porch and the cat in the refrig. about thirty minutes later we arose simultaneous, crashed into each other in the hall, and switched our charges to the proper places. just another event from the sixties…what can i say?

63 Theresa 03.01.09 at 4:54 am

Kitty: This is a Westinghouse isn’t it? Well, I’m Westing!

64 Annie 03.01.09 at 5:53 am

wanna dance you need a new monitor.
I scrolled down a bit and cracked up kitty is waiting to jump out at some one

65 berthaservant 03.01.09 at 5:57 am

I believe one of the signs of alcoholism is “locking your pet in the fridge” and/or “believing you see your pet hiding in the fridge.” I’m not casting aspersions about the owner of this fridge. I’m just sayin’.

66 scruffylove 03.01.09 at 6:10 am

Even if it’s a joke nuff it ruined my good times. Animals do silly things and look guilty when caught. Let it be. Sometimes I wonder if nuffers even have pets, or more accurately, let pets have them.

67 scruffylove 03.01.09 at 6:21 am

Oh, and I LOVE the vertical marks above that kitties eyes. Bee-yoo-tiful cat. Indeed.

68 RevWaldo 03.01.09 at 6:24 am

- What do you like to drink, neighbor?
- Uh, um, PetRefresh?
- PETREFRESH? F*** THAT S***! PABST BLUE RIBBON!!

69 Martha in Washington 03.01.09 at 7:20 am

Yup, that’s a guilty look not a scared look.
Kitteh is all “What? You never said I couldn’t hide in the fridge!”
We locked my cat in the closet one night because the silly thing runs in there when I’m getting her food.

70 Alex 03.01.09 at 7:29 am

Hmmmm, the presence of Miller Lite in the fridge suggests the Pabst is being consumed in a non-ironic fashion.

71 terry 03.01.09 at 9:36 am

I’m so happy there are other people who remember Carlin’s meat-cake joke…!

72 H 03.01.09 at 10:21 am

Martha: I totally agree on the guilty look…
I love the thought of things falling and crashing and breaking and smashing when she’s climbing out of there :O)
And to everyone who’s stuck on the shared fridge theory – Maybe there’s a party going on… A typicall bring your on beer, cheese and eggs party…

73 Patola 03.01.09 at 11:39 am

Someone PLEASE PLEASE tell me why the stupid cats like so much to get into the fridge. Mine does that all the time, he stalks at the fridge door to get in when he sees I am heading torward it.

74 Gail (the first one) 03.01.09 at 12:08 pm

@Patola: Because kitteh MUST KNOW WHAT IS IN THERE!!

75 Alexis 03.01.09 at 12:44 pm

Two of our three kitties like to climb into the fridge. Fully in, all the way. And it always seems to happen before I can stop it.

I know one is going in there because of the nummy smells, the fatso, but the other is just plain dumb. She also likes to sit in my shower as soon as I’ve finished. Just sittin’ and starin’… Come to think of it, she looks an awful lot like this kitty.

76 RevWaldo 03.01.09 at 1:04 pm

@Patola – the same reason “Slick” Willie Sutton like to rob banks.

77 Cambridge Rat Mom 03.01.09 at 1:45 pm

My cat does something similar, only he wants to get into the rat cage (with the rats) where it’s small and dark. Refrigerator-hab?

78 Theo 03.01.09 at 3:07 pm

Mmmm, huevos rancheros & beer! It’s a brunch!

79 bev 03.01.09 at 3:24 pm

I had a tabby who’d get in the linen closet any time it was opened. Now, it’s less important to close a linen closet than it is a fridge, but she would get in and turn around to look at you in about a second or two. That time included hearing it open, running up the the stairs, aiming for the opening, and jumping in. Must. Sit. In. Closet.

Now, my other cat – a tortoiseshell – had that “look” on her face ALL the time. You could see her all sphinx-like and warming herself on top of a radiator and think she was scared out of her mind.

80 katie 03.01.09 at 3:31 pm

My question is:
How did the cat get into the back of the fridge without knocking everything over??

(Wait. It’s a cat. Question answered….)

81 Jennie Mello 03.01.09 at 3:41 pm

Thanks for the well wishes, people. I had a great day!
I have been thinking about this one, and I think perhaps this is a Lion, Witch and Wardrobe type of fridge, in which Kitty here can pass through to another reality. Hey, it’s possible, right?

82 Dorkus Malorkus 03.01.09 at 4:24 pm

I interpret the “there’s hair growing on it” line to be a reference to the song “Living in the Fridge” by Weird Al. I guess if I’m wrong, I just proved my infinite nerdyness. Crap.

83 Paunchie 03.01.09 at 5:29 pm

I’M IN YER FRIDGE DRANKIN YER BEER

Von Zep “refrigerator blindness” is exactly what I call it too! Happens all the time!

84 Paunchie 03.01.09 at 5:30 pm

I think there’s three dozen eggs!

85 Cindy 03.01.09 at 5:34 pm

Those eggs are expired!

86 Cindy 03.01.09 at 5:37 pm

And there’s Christmas tree cookies to the left of the kitty. I didn’t think guys could bake. Lol

87 NotAnotherMIlo 03.01.09 at 5:37 pm

My previous cat, Loki, was a door opener. Cabinets, cupboards, you name it. He even figured out how to open the fridge. If I forgot to give him breakfast in the morning, I’d come home to an open fridge door and a big mess on the floor. Lesson for the day – if you name your cat after a god of mischief, be prepared to pay for it!

This guy is sayin’ “Dude, who ate my tuna.”

88 Patricia 03.01.09 at 6:15 pm

That is the same look my cat gets on her face right before a serious pounce.

89 Annie 03.01.09 at 6:16 pm

Well having had a daughter at college with four roommates and they divided the fridge into sections for each roommate and cupboards too. and having done this myself with roomates when I was young and living with roommates this is a girl fridge. especially with all that light beer
A girl fridge right before a big party. or right after. and the kitty well the kitty knows where the food is. SMART kitty.

90 scooterpants 03.01.09 at 6:56 pm

omg.. the disaster will happen when someone reaches in and tries to yard out the kitty. back end goes limp and legs catch on everything on the shelf, (and some stuff not on the shelf) and it all comes smashing out onto the floor! uck. gee i thought my fridge was bad, mine looks like a better homes and garden ad compared to this one! who puts liquids in the fridge on their sides?. course mine has Beer AND the hard stuff in it, (i’m so cosmopolitan giggle,snort)
its an adorable kitteh, very pretty, do college guys have cats?

91 Cronite5 03.01.09 at 8:34 pm

I didnt even see the cat for a minute there…

92 Decca 03.01.09 at 8:44 pm

No fair. The last time I cleaned out my fridge I didn’t find a kitty. Just some brown and green thing that was old enough to vote.

93 Lady Jedi 03.01.09 at 9:15 pm

Kittah: Huh, your out of milk, and the expireation date on this sour cream was for March 2nd… of ‘08′ (cracks open the lid, and crinkles up kittah nose)

94 metsakins 03.01.09 at 10:42 pm

see now the first thing I thought of was

“Cat, one hell of a nice animal, frequently mistaken for a meatloaf.”

by the bestest understander of kitteh, Kliban

95 Mary 03.01.09 at 11:23 pm

Well, we know it’s an east coaster’s fridge because of the bottle of the Yuengling on the bottom shelf (it’s to the right of the two cans of PBR). Yuengling only distributes their beer to the east coast states, Georgia and Tennessee.

96 5^^now8ing 03.01.09 at 11:48 pm

YES, Metaskins! We had that Kliban poster on the wall for years! I think it’s still around here somewhere…. We often refer to our cats as “meatloaves” when they sit in that, well, meatloaf position — head up, body horizontal, all 4 feet underneath, like they would just fit in a large meatloaf pan. Smile…

97 Alexis 03.02.09 at 12:01 am

Wow, Mary, that’s impressive. I grew up and went to college and grad school in the Philadelphia area and I didn’t recognize the Yuengling.

98 metsakins 03.02.09 at 12:07 am

scooterpants – college guys sometimes have cats that come with the apartment.

99 scooterpants 03.02.09 at 12:29 am

metaskins-
crap! i bought a whole house and it didnt come with kittehs!
must be in the lease or somthin.

100 SomeonesMother 03.02.09 at 12:50 am

@Scooterpants: Do college guys have cats?
Once I visited my son when he was living in a large house with many other guys…I asked to use the restroom and they didn’t want me to. I was desperate and insisted. Whew, teh cat box! yowser…also no TP for humans. When I asked them what they did for tissue they said “When we order a pizza we ask for extra napkins.”
The cat was a guy too, he didn’t seem to care that his box was in serious need.

101 metsakins 03.02.09 at 12:51 am

nah…just other college students who can’t take the kittehs home.

102 Amelia 03.02.09 at 6:07 am

Von Zeppelin: My family calls that “T-Rex Syndrome” because we can’t see anything unless it moves. It runs in the family.

103 Hon Glad 03.02.09 at 7:11 am

Yes, the light does go off when you close the door.

104 Kiera 03.02.09 at 1:11 pm

Miller Lite, Pabst, Leffe and that one that’s turned around looks like a Yuengling. Someone’s in the northeast!

And there MUST be roomates in this equation, one person drinking those four different beers is mind blowing.

Oh yeah, and there’s a cat… ;)

105 NH 03.02.09 at 2:04 pm

That kitty is on the attack! Under the bed is getting boring – the fridge ambush really generates a suprised response, ’specialy when they’re lit. wadda rush!

btw, an I have the last Leffe Blonde?

as to the eggs:
‘Brown eggs
are local eggs
and local eggs are fresh!’
‘Ginger cats
are local cats
and local cats are fresh!’

106 coot 03.02.09 at 3:44 pm

Hey! Are there 2 kitties or just one? There is a tail I spotted right below the kitty head… is that that kitty’s tail or another kitty’s tail?

107 Lisa 03.02.09 at 4:01 pm

Wooowm I didn’t even see the kitteh the first time I saw this photo!

108 Theo 03.02.09 at 4:18 pm

Coot — same cat. She seems to be cuddling the yogurt.

109 scooterpants 03.02.09 at 8:28 pm

oh someones mother-
i REALLY hope you didnt clean anything for them.
That’s just not right.
cept the kitteh pay back which would be peeing on their clothes/beds/shoes etc. makes me feel only a little better.
guys are so icky.

110 FuzzBob Chubbypants 03.02.09 at 8:56 pm

@ 5^^now8ing — We call that pose the Muffin Top or Mushroom, whichever you prefer, due to the perfectly rounded kitteh back looking strikingly similar to a, well, mushroom or muffin top!! :D :D

111 Kiragirl 03.02.09 at 9:47 pm

Aaaah, Belgian Leffe! Good taste!

112 Mary 03.02.09 at 10:46 pm

Keira, they aren’t necessarily in the Northeast. Yuengling distributes to all the east coast states, even Florida. They also distribute to Alabama and Tennessee.

113 Mary 03.02.09 at 10:47 pm

114 Robert 03.03.09 at 3:44 pm

Yay for Belgian beer !

115 Helena 03.03.09 at 11:34 pm

Meow meow that cat looks cold

116 Shane 03.04.09 at 6:52 am

Can I have some cheese with my coldcat sandwich?

117 Kristabelle 03.04.09 at 4:01 pm

Despite the mess that is that fridge, that is a very cute kitty cat!
