Will you please get a load of these mini hamster closed eyes, proving (hamster) romance is not dead!
P.U.X.C.O. (Pucker Up Xtreme Close-Up):
Laura Elizabeth is responsible for capturing this romance on film.
I just had this mental image of 2 hamsters under a street lamp in Paris on a foggy evening…fedora…now I have a daydream to get me to lunchtime.
I’m reminded of that moment in Fellowship of the Ring, extended version, where the hobbit woman waits for her hobbit man to kiss her, but he spies some food in the distance. Yes, I’m an LOTR nerd.
MWAH!
(Tip: don’t kiss furry friends while wearing lip gloss. Pfoo!)
“hamster romance” ha!
At the link, a photo of an adorable – honest! – slug. Belongs on CO, imo.
Wheeskers arch perfectly towards each other…
The one on the right seems unsure, lol. Or confused. But so cute!!
This totally reminded me of this.
Aww, what a sweet face!
Reminds me of the Little Mermaid song, Kiss the Girl.
“Go on an’ kees de’ girl…”
*thinks it’s a good thing there are no hamtaros on CO, whatever they are.
[You can kinda think of them like the Hello Kitty of the pocket-pet set - Ed.]
Guinea pig on the right is thinking “Do you mind? We’re trying to have a private moment here! Damn paparazzi!”
My first picture on Cute Overload! Yay! My hams are thrilled and all (four) of them will celebrate with pumpkin seeds.
Thank you =]
Ok, adorable. Mr. Ham look’s like he’s saying, “AHEM! Do you mind?!”
Erm, Roborovski hamsters, NOT guinea peeegs. :X)
I second EZ’s nomination of teh slug for CO! (And Laura E’s caption for heem is ex-cellent!)
I shall kees you! (Hammie, not sluggie — slime’s worse than fur in yer lip gloss — pwhew)
There’s a pucker born every minute.
Rofl, it does look like the little hammy is waiting to be smooched! Don’t worry! I’ll smooch you!
yes, notice the whisker formation. Like a magnetic field
AMINAL Magnetism!
He might be little (and soft) but I sense he can have an attitude.
ooooooooooooooooooooooo.
I call Beady Eye Factor!
Correction: P.U.X.C.U.
JELLYBEAN NOSES!
“Nibbling on bacon, Chewing on cheese;
Sammy seez to Susie, Honey, would you please
Be my missus? Susie says Yes!
With her kisses……”
Ain’t love grand?
They’re communicating via whisker link, a hammies version of the Vulcan mind meld.
Bah! Gak! Merrrrrooop! Cannot speak from de cutenesses in my brains! Hamster keeeses…..!!
Ehnnnnnnnnnnnnn….true wuv!
Are they standing on an oversized rice cake?
Their cute, they remind me of little tiny puff balls X3
>_<
:-* *muah!*
Robos! I loved my robo, no matter how much she pooped in my hand or nipped my hand when I tried to pick her up.
Sometimes, this is the face I imagine greeting me in heaven.
The electricity is palpable!!!
“She pauses, eye closed, ever hopeful, scared and thrilled all at the same time…” and scene!!!
Ah, peeps, this is really special.
Really special, I agree!
Hammieeees… courting hammieeees…
and their hearts beat so that they can hardly squeeeeek
and they find the flooffiness they seeek
when they’re dancing ‘pouche to ‘pouche
Awww… I love how their whiskers are touching. Butterfly kisses?
Most excellent whiskerage.
I come here exclusively for the X.C.O.’s and the -HANCE’s!
those are too cute!
Love the perfect whisker arches!
The one on the left looks like he’s thinking, “Today was awesome! I had a carrot! Now I’m gonna go chew on a paper towel roll! Happy!”
What a sweet picture.
The little one probably fell asleep LOL
Goodness gracious, I’m not even a ham or GP-phile; yet the comments streamhere is particularly rich & provides lots o’ interesting paths: here are the Reader’s Digest versions of my thoughts:
1) re. Laura Eliz herrself:
a: re. her friend, the slug at beg of her webpage….er…..not so much, for me, at least…
(to *me*, it’s rather like the Gertrude Stein quote “A slug is a slug is a slug”. I’m aware, that this makes me hopelessly SpeciesIst & I have already scheduled myself for counseling on the matter, so please don’t anyone feel obligated to provide corrective instruction here. K?)
b: once you get past the *slug* (gulp); her wedding series has some wonderfully fun & colorful carnival shots which provide endorphins just from viewin….(at least, they did for me; maybe I haven’t been out enuff lately)
2) @ Piyo: Your webpage citation suggestion is indeed VERRY splendiferous . I’ll offer a checkmate/ enjoyable webpage for your consideration. It’s called “Engrish.com” & has *delightful, silly, happy * fun, with skewered JapEngrish langwidge & odd/ cute thinggies; ‘nuf said. . It’s very likely to be a HomeRun ferrr ya.
Go Forth & Giggle.
Oooh, wheeskers are touching!! That sounds so romantic!
Oh my goodness is that the cutest thing I ever seen!!!
Matchingks??? I shall kees you??
haha i loff the title!
the way their whiskers are lined up…and their noses – it took me a minute to figure out what it looked like….metaphase!! http://moniqueromero.com/work/des-117/education/images/metaphase.jpg huh!?!?? huh?!??!?
AWWWW!!! Da fasche ish jusch sho moooshy!!!!
Mooowah!!! :X
@ Kat
Science rules
I never saw hammies this color combination…they are beautiful! Like others have noted, I also find the meellions of whiskers and their perfect arching toward each other quite enchanting, as well as the “smooch me” expression. *Great* picture, fabulous PUXCO!
Oh yes, and the soft peenk nosies…divine!
Lol at the hovertext!
such a nice face
SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!
*kees*
*peh*
(mouf full of hammy fur)
Kat- Niiiiiiiiiice.
omg that is so cute.You might have some baby hamsters in your future!
Ah no they’re all female actually!
Can’t decide whether I like the magnetic field metaphor or the mitosis (meiosis?) one better.
I would’ve said Qte + word nerds = CO, but apparently Qte + science nerds is also valid. (There’s a transitive property in there somewhere, I think.)
I LOVE THIS!
The little whiskers are touching together, looks like cell division:)
Peeps, gather together to calculate the magnetic fluffiness of one hammie near a superconductive cage by the method of mirror hammies!
The idea of Hamsters reproducing by budding off is also very interesting, though…
I keep dwarf hammies as pets and I love this picture. These two hammies are priceless. Makes me want to go out and get more.
I’m totally feeling the whisker formation creating some kind of vortex of cute.
Thanks a lot
Regards
