He looks kinda Owl-y!

2 T.U.M. 03.09.09 at 12:42 pm

I would not want to run into that gang in a dark alley.

3 KittehMama x 3 03.09.09 at 12:44 pm

Matchinks? Hidinks? Maybe it’s just a bleening computer ghost shadow…..

4 Eastie 03.09.09 at 12:45 pm

I certainly wouldn’t mess with those bodyguards.

5 chanpon 03.09.09 at 12:55 pm

Those are the fluffiest and most squee-able henchmen (hench-cats?) ever. Their leader, front row to the right, looks very formidable.

6 gizmo 03.09.09 at 1:01 pm

One of these is different from the others.

Is it A, B, C, D, or E?

7 Katrina 03.09.09 at 1:05 pm

“Haveyaeva considahed whatcha life would be like whichoutya
ears?”

Great picture!

8 Theresa 03.09.09 at 1:15 pm

Cat on upper left: WHAT is on your nose?

9 TW 03.09.09 at 1:20 pm

Mafia cat says “There ain’t no Mafia and I’ll plug the next one a youse that sez udderwise! Mmmm…udders…”

10 Szig 03.09.09 at 1:35 pm

Oh! I loves the black fluffy kitties the mostest!! I want them all!

11 Ashley 03.09.09 at 1:41 pm

Does this look racist to anyone else..?

12 Kristabelle 03.09.09 at 1:46 pm

I’m skeert!

13 Desdemona 03.09.09 at 1:47 pm

They need little Ray-Bans.

14 Kar 03.09.09 at 1:48 pm

At first I thought that they were all aggro and about to smack the photographer. However the ears don’t look “angry.”

Perhaps they’re so fuzzy because they’re cold. Can’t the US Marshalls buy better coats for their people?

I love the captions as usual Mike!

15 Von Zeppelin 03.09.09 at 1:49 pm

@Theresa–That upper left bodyguard cat obviously didn’t heed the advice he got from the cop when he was just a juvenile cat offender: “Take my advice, kid, and keep your nose clean.”

16 Not That Mike The Other Mike 03.09.09 at 2:01 pm

@KittehMama: Matchingks tag added; good suggestion!

17 Chronic Sender-Inner 03.09.09 at 2:06 pm

Ok seriously who is that cartoon cat? I should know this.

[My guess: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rb8aOzy9t4 - Ed.]

18 Hon Glad 03.09.09 at 2:11 pm

We is just shadowing him.

19 Martin 03.09.09 at 2:11 pm

Aww Those black cats are coming with me!

20 lrm 03.09.09 at 2:13 pm

All the kittehs are adorable! I know I’m supposed to be scared, but they’re adorable!

21 Hila 03.09.09 at 2:14 pm

He looks like Simon Tofield’s cat! Could it be?

22 Cathwoman21 03.09.09 at 2:15 pm

The white cat is Simon’s cat!!

23 pitu 03.09.09 at 2:21 pm

I WANT THESE! Soooooo adowable. They don’t sceere me one bit!

24 Chronic Sender-Inner 03.09.09 at 2:35 pm

wow there’s been some serious editoring here lately.

25 PJ 03.09.09 at 3:07 pm

I believe that’s the Feral Courthouse….

26 Theo 03.09.09 at 3:21 pm

Not bad, PJ.

27 Kar 03.09.09 at 3:21 pm

Poor Mr. Gringflabble. You can see him shaking and I swear he just did a nervous blink.

28 Berg 03.09.09 at 3:46 pm

@Desdemona: An ear piece to accompany the Ray-Bans would complete the look. I can just picture the paw on the ear, pressing on the ear piece for better reception…

29 Felicityanne 03.09.09 at 3:56 pm

I THINK it may be a Ronald Searle cat…

30 Mel2 03.09.09 at 3:59 pm

I wonder if they all travel in big black, unmarked cat carriers.

31 Noelegy 03.09.09 at 4:09 pm

Yes, that looks like “cold” body language. What handsome black fluffsters! I wants them all.

32 A thinker 03.09.09 at 4:21 pm

lol! This picture is hilarious. Lizzums, I too thought the white cat was an owl at first.

33 catloveschanel 03.09.09 at 4:23 pm

The accountcat sticks out like a sore thumb… a squeal pigeon, during tax season he obviously hasn’t been working out like the other cats have.

34 Desdemona 03.09.09 at 4:31 pm

@Berg and Mel2 — [Snicker/snort] Also, maybe they look so bulked-up because they are “carrying” under those mounds of fluffitude.

35 scooterpants 03.09.09 at 4:58 pm

I’m glad to see we have moved on from the tragedy.

These four are fabulous.
I’ll bet they have a lincoln with ’suicide doors’. The purrfect body guards for sure.

36 David (the first one) 03.09.09 at 5:03 pm

I like to see them doing the slo-mo walk Reservoir Dog style.

37 David (the first one) 03.09.09 at 5:05 pm

“Great, everybody wants to be Mr. Black, why do I have to be Mr. White?”

38 firepikachu 03.09.09 at 5:13 pm

YES!!! It IS Simon’s cat!!! I loves the old YouTube videos!

39 djv 03.09.09 at 5:13 pm

how about Federal cathouse instead of courthouse? :)

40 Theresa 03.09.09 at 5:41 pm

I don’t think it’s Simon’s Cat, because SC’s ear come right together, like two triangles side-by-side. This fellow has some head between his ears. He does have similar googly eyes, though.

Mah posse, let me showz yoo it.

41 Annie 03.09.09 at 5:54 pm

Yeah the squeeler needs all the body guards he can get!
You take care of the family and the family takes care of you (said in Mob boss voice)

42 Jody 03.09.09 at 5:57 pm

This photo cries out for LOLcat captioning!

Those black cats look exactly like my Mandu.

43 Tractatus Blorpico-Philosophicus 03.09.09 at 5:59 pm

More like ninja cats!

44 Shelley Noble 03.09.09 at 6:04 pm

ok, Mike? You are hilarious. I love all the posts here (human hater comments, no) but your caption today was especially dopalicious. LOL.

45 claudia 03.09.09 at 6:08 pm

Black Cats always look so pissed off LOL!

My black cat Maddy always makes me wonder if she truly loves us *snicker*

46 LisaLisa 03.09.09 at 6:20 pm

Hahaha. This picture totally freaked me out for a sec until I figured out the white one wasn’t real.

47 balamuthia 03.09.09 at 6:36 pm

Haha, epic win! Go NTMTOM!

48 Kar 03.09.09 at 6:50 pm

What do you mean the white one isn’t real? He’s blinking like a traffc light.

49 Decca 03.09.09 at 6:51 pm

Do you think they realize that Mr. Gringflabble is already with the fishies and that they’re guarding the courtroom sketch artist’s rendition of Mr. Gringflabble?

50 Michelle S. 03.09.09 at 6:57 pm

You’ll be fine, Percy. Just as long as none of your bodyguards cross your pa… oh. Oh, gee. Well good luck to you.

51 Edward 03.09.09 at 7:17 pm

Someone’s going to be in for a serious batting if they cross them. ‘You wanna be my ball of yarn? Do ya? Then bring it on.’

52 Kari 03.09.09 at 7:32 pm

With the Ray-Bans and the earpiece, would they be speaking into their front paws?

They’re so beautiful!

53 berthaservant 03.09.09 at 7:43 pm

Worst Robert Palmer video parody ever.

54 Theresa 03.09.09 at 9:02 pm

Oh, B-serv, ANY Robert Ralmer parody is good. Wo-oooh!

55 Theresa 03.09.09 at 9:03 pm

Palmer. Dang! You’d like to think that you’re immune to the stuff, whoa yeah.

56 Theo 03.09.09 at 9:21 pm

She used to look good to me, but now I find her
(BA-bump, BA-bump, BA-bump, *shingg!*)
Percy Q. Gringflabb-able.

57 Theresa 03.09.09 at 9:22 pm

Whoah
You like them whether they are plain or they’re stuffed, oh yeah
Better face the facts, it seems you can’t get enough
You know, you’re gonna have to face it
You’re addicted to spuds.

58 harold 03.09.09 at 9:32 pm

I have those cats’ sister! She’s the cutest.

59 Melisma 03.09.09 at 10:11 pm

Could the white “cat” in the middle actually be a mid-sized Totoro? Hm, the mouth isn’t quite right for a Totoro though… and the eyes aren’t quite anime-style. Interestingly, Miyazaki made at least one movie all about kittehs.

60 catloveschanel 03.09.09 at 10:34 pm

Can you imagine a cat having the discipline to do taxes or accounting? He’d be like, um, this is boring, tail swish, I think these numbers add up, yeah, they work just fine! ] Now I need a nap….

61 ButtaRumCake 03.09.09 at 10:40 pm

LMAO @ VonZepp – LOVE THAT!!

As your resident Jersey girl, I say KUDO’s to NTMTOM!! I don’t think I laughed that hard in a good long time. Thanks for the belly laugh!!!

62 ButtaRumCake 03.09.09 at 10:40 pm

Oh & *snerk* @ BServ!! LOLOL

63 January 03.09.09 at 10:45 pm

These are some real bad boys for sure.

64 Annie 03.10.09 at 1:47 am

Give us all your money or the white cat gets it.

65 Ant 03.10.09 at 2:13 am

Does Simon have bodyguards now?

66 Subhangi 03.10.09 at 5:02 am

HEY! This is Simon’s cat :D

67 Crys 03.10.09 at 6:35 am

So funny! Just love it!

68 nom nom 03.10.09 at 12:41 pm

I work in the print media, and I approve this bulletin.

It has something for everyone: People who like bodyguards, people who like flufftitude and people who like New Jersey. Perfect!

69 J.B. 03.10.09 at 8:32 pm

Breaking news: today’s terrorism threat level has been elevated to black and fluffy. More at 11.

70 Starlight/Cyarra 03.10.09 at 9:11 pm

AWWWWWWWWW THOSE ARE GONNA BE MY CATS NO CALL BACKS!!!!!!!! :)

71 Alice Shortcake 03.10.09 at 9:47 pm

Did anyone else attempt to remove cat-on-the-left’s nasal adornment by wiping their screens?

72 Teresa 03.11.09 at 1:54 am

AWW :-) I would open the door and let those kitties in for some warm milk :-) They would become my guard kitties :-)

73 eternalcanadian 03.11.09 at 12:41 pm

lol, i always thought black cats had motives, like just the way they glared at you, the eyes glowing out from under all that dark black fur, the way they move like stealth in the dark then pounce when you least expect it. white cats are much easier to track and keep ahead of. :-P

74 Nae 03.17.09 at 8:55 pm

*giggles* Cute!
I bet that cat on the upper left’s gantsta name is “Scratch.” ;D
