Sweet merciful heavens, that’s a lot of fluff and a lot of ferocity.

CO+LOTR=WIN

8 Chad R. 06.20.09 at 1:40 pm

Now we must have a very long argument about whether he should have wings.

As his dignified fur mantle flaps gracefully in the wind, the Tree Guru prepares himself to receive myriad questions from the seekers of wisdom: “What about health care reform? And how do we solve the present financial crisis? And what about the car manufacturers, the housing problem, the bank failures…….??? ”
The Tree Guru ponders a bit, carefully arranges his billowing white robe, and pronounces carefully the words we’ve all been waiting for: “Beats the heck out of me!!!”

10 cat 06.20.09 at 1:45 pm

11 Kara 06.20.09 at 1:48 pm

13 Paunchie 06.20.09 at 1:55 pm

You know, I saw these pics on her flickr site and meant to send them to Meg. I fergot I guess, but our intrepid Cuter Overloaders found them anyway of course!

14 Hila 06.20.09 at 2:05 pm

Ugh, I wish I had Photoshop so I could put a little pointy hat on his head! :)

15 Theresa 06.20.09 at 2:07 pm

Once again,I feel myself moved to ask– WHAT EES EET???

16 pounce 06.20.09 at 2:08 pm

OMG … LOTR and CuteOverload together … I can’t handle it!!!!! *squee!!*

17 PaperAirplane 06.20.09 at 2:10 pm

I’m still laughing at the Balrog/Squirrel note.

Oh, and the squirrel!

18 Lizzy 06.20.09 at 2:14 pm

Run! To the hobbitrail!

25 LizzyCat 06.20.09 at 4:24 pm

Yeah, what the heezy kind of skwerl is that?

(It’s precious.)

26 LizzyCat 06.20.09 at 4:25 pm

Oh wait, it’s a hammie? Derp :p

27 sadimtouch 06.20.09 at 4:28 pm

the first pic makes him look so maniacally mystic and stuff.

the second pic, he looks wistfully sad, as the wind blows his fur ever so gently.

I want one.

28 danielie 06.20.09 at 5:21 pm

LOL I love the way the (extreme!)fluff blows in the wind. Pic 1 blows my mind. XD

29 Skip 06.20.09 at 5:28 pm

Does anyone know what kind of squirrel that is (the scientific name, not the CO name)?

30 berthaservant 06.20.09 at 5:33 pm

I love the twiddling Monty Burns-esque paws in the second photo. Exxx-cellent!

31 critterluvr 06.20.09 at 5:34 pm

This is a long-haired hamster, Skip.

32 Ruth 06.20.09 at 5:47 pm

I have one name…………..Vidal Sassoon

33 Amber 06.20.09 at 5:47 pm

That so far is the best hamster picture ever!

34 Lalaith 06.20.09 at 6:00 pm

I have only one word to say about the Gandalf hammie: Awesome.

35 Karen 06.20.09 at 6:52 pm

Oh oh!! I need, need, NEED, a site called Cute OverLOTR. Seriously. All cute, all animal photos, and all LOTR captions.

BTW- this guy is totally a hobbit.

[Or maybe something like "LOTRcats"? - Ed.]

[...I Can Has Precioussss? :P - Ed.]

36 Karen 06.20.09 at 6:57 pm

I take it back. He really IS a hammy Gandalf.

37 Karen 06.20.09 at 6:59 pm

Woah, Ed. You’re mixing genres and screwing with my fragile mind. I need my fantasy and cartoon worlds to be separate, thank you very much.

38 Patito Gigante 06.20.09 at 7:35 pm

[laughing really hard and never stopping]

39 Kar 06.20.09 at 8:30 pm

Stop! Who would cross the Tree of Death must answer me these questions three, ‘ere the other side he see.

40 mocax 06.20.09 at 8:37 pm

i can’t tell if Hamdalf here has really long beard or really long hair….

41 Theresa 06.21.09 at 12:08 am

I have to go with the people who are leaning more Tim the Enchanter than Gandalf.

42 caelus 06.21.09 at 12:08 am

It’s Gandalf the Grey casting a magic!!!!!!

43 critterluvr 06.21.09 at 2:24 am

I think that in the first pic, this ham looks far more like Saruman, the corrupt wizard who caused Gandalf so much grief with his evil doings!

44 Sinamon 06.21.09 at 2:50 am

@ mocax — HAMDALF! Brilliant!!!! ROFL

45 Ellie 06.21.09 at 4:24 am

Saruman Squirrel!

46 Ellie 06.21.09 at 4:27 am

Oh noes critterluvr said it before me :(

47 Katrina 06.21.09 at 6:49 am

Our favorite Hamster photographer is back with another exciting episode of
the White Hamster Wizard of Truth! I agree, he needs a staff, even if he will just chew through it. We don’t want the broken spaghetti stick incident of a while back, though.

48 pookie 06.21.09 at 10:33 am

“Fly, you fools!”

49 jenjen 06.21.09 at 10:55 am

O. M. G. the MOVIE… Piorko’s Melancholy and Holy Fury. More like Holy Furry. http://www.vimeo.com/5005729

50 hon glad 06.21.09 at 11:10 pm

Flying floof of fury.

51 Brian 06.22.09 at 6:02 am

He looks like one of the old 1970’s style kung-fu movie kung-fu masters (esp. in the first pic)!

52 thicktortiethintabby 06.22.09 at 6:58 am

I could’ve sworn NTMTOM had written the post…

[Heh. Or possibly Tolkien. ;) - Ed.]

53 Lula Mae 06.22.09 at 9:07 am

Dust hammy!

54 KittyAdventures 06.22.09 at 9:19 am

I love LOTR… and this hammy is so gandalf or Hamdalf as has been already said.

55 Kristabelle 06.22.09 at 10:01 am

Love all the LOTR refs. Hamdalf it is!

56 animal luvr 06.22.09 at 10:30 am

60 AuntieMame 06.22.09 at 3:01 pm

From now on, whenever I read the Moria chapter, Legolas is going to say “Oh noes! A balrog!” instead of “Ai, oi! A balrog!”

:D

61 Deb 06.22.09 at 3:30 pm

Perfect caption for an AWESOME picture. I can’t stop laughing.

62 catloveschanel 06.22.09 at 4:28 pm

Maru and the fat dangle kitty over the bridge may be just the ticket for the Fellowship to beat the Balrog. Sit them on either side of the bridge to cover Gandalf. http://cuteoverload.com/2008/11/04/splayed-tocks-i/

63 Rosie Posie 06.22.09 at 6:34 pm

Speaking as someone with five cats named after LOTR characters (Frodo, Strider, Legolas, Eowyn, and Glorfindel). I whole-heartedly endorse this offering.

Hamdalf! *dies laughing*

64 Theo 06.22.09 at 6:43 pm

Wait, who was Glorfindel?

65 cassandra 06.22.09 at 10:10 pm

wow, epic ham. awesome.

66 bee 06.23.09 at 10:13 am

67 AuntieMame 06.23.09 at 2:53 pm

You remember Glorfindel, don’t you, Theo? He’s the guy whose role was usurped by Arwen in the movie. (Not the marrying Aragorn part, but the coming and finding Aragorn and the hobbits on their way to Rivendell part.)

68 Kari 06.24.09 at 10:32 pm

How lovely the flowing white tresses:like white capped waves, like a pearl in the forrest (well…a hairy pearl), like….what the heck is it?

69 Sweeda 06.28.09 at 1:39 pm
