The Great White Way. Meow.

by Prongs on October 15, 2009

Nice day. Sun shining. Annoying dogs fetching. It just makes me…want…to…

Not feeling Starlight Express...

...FEELING ALL THE BUMPERS, ALWAYS PLAYING CLEAN, HE PLAYS BY INTUITION, THE DIGIT COUNTERS FALL…THAT DEAF, DUMB, AND BLIND KID SURE PLAYS A MEAN PINBAAAALLLLL!

Aaack...aaaack...oh god, I'm choking on a whisker....AAAACK

What, let me guess – you were expecting something from Cats? Please. I have way more depth than that.

Tommy hears me.

He’s the master of the house, Rachel P.

Awesome choice of song lyric.

2 Suzanne 10.15.09 at 6:41 am

Thank you Prongs for making my morning! A Who reference, a musical reference, a tabby sitting pretty…does it get any better than this? I think not!

3 Gigi 10.15.09 at 6:46 am

Oh for the love of little green apples!!! A baby tabby that sings Pinball Wizard is his mane Elton? I’m in LOOOOVE!!!!

4 earlybird1 10.15.09 at 6:50 am

He’s the Hairball Wizard…

5 ceejoe 10.15.09 at 6:53 am

i’ll say it again… there’s nuthin in the world like a kitten.

6 GreyandWhite Kitty 10.15.09 at 6:59 am

Perfectly kitten.

7 Kristabelle 10.15.09 at 7:00 am

What an adorable kitty. Now, however I am singing Master of the House from Les Miz, instead of Pinball Wizard. :lol:

8 Blondie 10.15.09 at 7:04 am

Prongs, you are my show tune hero…
Pic 1: “Where is love? Does it fall from sky’s above? Is it underneath the willow tree, that I’ve been dreaming of?”

Pic 2: “There are giants in the sky!”

Pic 3: “Anything you can do I can do better! I can do anything better than you!”

9 DogEared 10.15.09 at 7:11 am

i loves me some tabby. i could stare at him all day. *sigh*

10 Rachael 10.15.09 at 7:16 am

What a handsome guy! He’s all, “What is your problem? You just interrupted my big finish. I AM the Master of the House.” :D

11 260Oakley 10.15.09 at 7:21 am

A Chorus feLine

12 Saffron 10.15.09 at 7:23 am

Um…yep, thanks…now Master of the House is stuck in my head like it was in George Costanza’s.
Great.
Thanks.

Although it is worth it to see those photos of such a prosh tabbeh!!!

*walks away*
..mmmaster of the house…doling out the fish….ready with a litter scoop and an open box….
AUGH.

13 Katharine 10.15.09 at 7:29 am

this isn’t a tabby. it’s actually a maine cat because it has the “M” on the forehead. i have a baby one that looks EXACTLY like this, but he’s only 7 weeks where this one looks to be about 4 months.

14 Katharine 10.15.09 at 7:30 am

maine coon cat*

15 Lerrinus 10.15.09 at 7:30 am

Pretty kitty!

16 blair 10.15.09 at 7:31 am

that last picture says “stop making blogs and start making tuna”

17 Katiedid 10.15.09 at 7:32 am

Pretty kitten!!!!

18 gizmo 10.15.09 at 7:34 am

Ah, the work-a-day life of your average kitteh. Such a grind, I don’t know how they ever get a thing done. I mean, that tree out there isn’t going to watch itself, you know.

19 Hon Glad 10.15.09 at 7:36 am

Bed! Bed! I couldn’t go to bed, my head’s to light to try to set it down
Sleep!Sleep! I couldn’t sleep tonight
Not for all the jewels in the crown
I could have miaowed all night, I could have miaowed all night
and still have fought that Tom

20 metsakins 10.15.09 at 7:53 am

So that is what my kitty is thinking when he stares at the blue spruce in front of the house. and I always thought he was looking for birds. Silly hooman.

21 January 10.15.09 at 7:57 am

A totally cat-like cat…I like ‘em that way.

22 Theresa 10.15.09 at 7:57 am

I used to sing to my darling Stinky:
Attend the tale of Stinky Todd
He has a black and white fuzzy bod

23 metsakins 10.15.09 at 8:00 am

Curse you Prongs, I’ve just come out of the bathroom singing Pinball Wizard! It’s gonna be a long day.

*goes to put on internet radio, Pandora*

24 LeAnn (not LeAnna) 10.15.09 at 8:31 am

I could think of worse things than singing songs from Tommy.

25 Resriechan 10.15.09 at 8:36 am

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

To the Peeps:

This is my guy SALINGER (*ok, let’s go over this again in case an elephant on a streetcar ate your homework: Salinger the dear departed was named after the author JD S. who wrote the classic Catcher in the Rye. NOT the Salinger in politics…I’m a “Librariologist”) lookin’ out the winder. HE looked EXACTLY like this little guys (awesome green eyeballs among other matching bits)

RIP SALINGER: You were the best (4-legged) guy I ever met. (sniff, sniff)
(wipes dribbling tears from corners of an eye)

Signed,
And Now You Know.

(KINDA similar, to The More You Know.
(sniff)

26 Jezebel 10.15.09 at 8:36 am

Tommy hears me. Brilliant! Prongs you rock!

27 Resriechan 10.15.09 at 8:37 am

oops
“this little guy” NOT “this little guys”
Also: I’m not at a computer where I know where the emoticon codes are, or I woulda added a sad one or three.
(sniff)

28 Resriechan 10.15.09 at 8:42 am

ps: sorry I just realized: “something in the way” (Geo. Harrison) I wrote that, could be misleading: what I mean is, this little cutie is the REINCARNATION of my best guy. ‘Tisnt my picture; although I do have several. (I’m absolutely hopeless in the area of downloading images through computer programs & submitting them & such)

Anyway; sorry if I’m indulging in being a Debbie Downer. Please forgive any unnecessary angst caused to anyone besides me.

29 Trixie 10.15.09 at 8:47 am

re Katharine (14):
“Probably the most distinctive feature seen in common on all tabby cats is the “M” on their foreheads. You will also see this M on many of the big jungle cats, such as tigers, cheetahs, and ocelots.”

30 tommy fan 10.15.09 at 8:54 am

Thank you so much for this.

31 ashagato 10.15.09 at 8:56 am

Salinger’s a great name for a kitty, Resriechan. He must’ve been a cutie if he looked like this guy, who could be bros with my little M-head, too.

@ earlybird1: Hairball Wizard made me LOL!!!! ;)

32 Suzanne 10.15.09 at 9:03 am

Hon Glad…somewhere Audrey Hepburn is dancing away with Resriechan’s Salinger in her arms…that was positively awesome.

And in the same vein for pic # 3: Why can’t a dog be more like a cat?

33 metsakins 10.15.09 at 9:16 am

@Resriechan – We all hear you here. No one’s goin’ to call you a downer for remembering a former family member. We all do it here. That’s what makes Teh Cte our extended family.

34 kk3 10.15.09 at 9:23 am

Sorry, but this little guy is a tabby…NOT a Maine Coon.

He is perfectly lovely!!!

35 Rachel P. 10.15.09 at 9:26 am

Wow, what a surprise when I go to get my daily dose of cute and see my very own kitteh staring back at me! :D But one minor note – “he” is actually a “she”…Her name is Izzie. ;)

Thanks to all the compliments, I happen to be partial but I agree she’s as lovely as they come! *adores her sweet little kitteh*

36 Rachel P. 10.15.09 at 9:28 am

p.s.

She isn’t a maine coon, altho that would be awesome…she’s outgrown the kitten fuzziness and her fur is short, as was her mommy and daddy’s.

37 nismo 10.15.09 at 9:56 am

I love Tabbies and the little Ms on their foreheads.

38 victoreia 10.15.09 at 10:05 am

Gorgeous tabby girl! Yes, you is!

39 Shannon 10.15.09 at 10:25 am

Tommy hears me.

He hears me too, kitteh.

40 Kar 10.15.09 at 10:34 am

Rachel, how did you not snorgle that thing to death at an early age? Izzie is too cute.

41 Noelegy 10.15.09 at 10:40 am

Sweet little tabby!

42 Theo 10.15.09 at 11:20 am

Maybe an “Earworm” tag… :twisted:

43 KittyAdventures 10.15.09 at 11:20 am

Rock on Izzie kitty!!! Rock on!

44 Berg 10.15.09 at 11:32 am

Izzie is just lovely! Our brown tabby Basil likes to sit at the window like that, too, with his front legs curled up on the window sill. Basil and Izzie would make quite a cute little pair watching over the yard.

45 Paunchie 10.15.09 at 12:09 pm

Sigh, the hard hard life of a house cat.

46 Decca 10.15.09 at 12:16 pm

I am such a sucker for these little tabbies. Our kitty like to sit in the front window and look out at the world. Whenever I leave and she’s there I always want to come back in. There’s this little head in a big window and it’s so wicked cute I just want to turn right around.

tabby = striped cat
if Maine Coon = striped then Maine Coon = tabby

And here endeth the maths lesson

P.S. DAS FLOOF! *faints*

50 Blondie 10.15.09 at 2:02 pm

I’ve already decided, when I die I’m coming back as a well taken care of kitty baby. Oh the life they live… Time to lay down with my twin orange tabbies…

51 Lu 10.15.09 at 2:16 pm

I knew it was a girl! I can usually tell. That yawning picture is just the dearest thing ever. Reminds me of a certain someone, too, Resriechan. :(

52 canamgirl 10.15.09 at 2:43 pm

Cats have the LIFE!
As I sit here perusing WordPress and watching my puppy nap, there are many days that I wish my biggest concern was “play, eat, poop, play, eat, sleep.”
I would upload a picture of this napping puppy if it were possible; but thank you for sharing a day-in-the-life-of with us!

53 Queen of Dork 10.15.09 at 3:19 pm

Awwwwww. I love the big kitty smile in the first pic. Today’s my b-day and that smile felt like a happy little present. :)

54 Mary (the first). 10.15.09 at 4:15 pm

My 19 yr. old kitteh does the same thing, gets in window with paws onto windowsill for closest up close look at the outside world. Of course, then I had to get foam padding.. blankie.. etc. onto the windowsill to cushion her elderly little bones. She’s gone pretty deaf but can see fine… watches the world go by.

55 snoopysnake 10.15.09 at 4:27 pm

Soooo cute! Give Izzie a nose nuzzle from me!

56 Tractatus Blorpico-Philosophicus 10.15.09 at 4:32 pm

omg tabbies are too moishe!

57 Lizzy 10.15.09 at 4:52 pm

Master of the house, quick to catch yer eye
Never wants a passerby to pass him by…

Charge ‘em for the lice, extra for the mice
Two percent for looking in the mirror twice

One of the best songs ever!

58 Happycat 10.15.09 at 5:08 pm

Tommy earworm will not die!
Cow-workers stare as if i am mad, laughing and quoting….”you know where to put the plug!”
great song, great kitteh, just plain GREAT DAY!

59 Katrina 10.15.09 at 5:13 pm

Just sittin’ in the window, watching all the cats go by…….

60 kmg 10.15.09 at 5:56 pm

want.

61 T.U.M. 10.15.09 at 6:07 pm

@Lizzy

Charge ‘em for the mice,
Extra for the stripes,
Three per cent for lyin’ ’round and lookin’ nice.

62 Resriechan 10.15.09 at 6:32 pm

@ Ashagato, Suzanne & Metsakins: my thanks for your compassion. I hope that each of you has a furry (or finny or scaly) friend who means as much to you & gives you joy.

Peace.

63 Teresa 10.15.09 at 7:07 pm

AWW :D Rachel P., you have a cutie of a kitty named Izzie :D Please give her lots and lots of SNORGLES :twisted: or I will :twisted:

64 Lizzy 10.15.09 at 7:41 pm

@TUM Lolz!!

Master of the house, doling out the charm
Ready with an open mouf to catch a nom!
Has a saucy tale, makes a little purr
Precious and so fuzzy and a bon-viveur!
Glad to lick a friend wif a flavor
Doesn’t cost him to be nice
But nothing gets you nothing
Everything is better with some mice!

65 Lizzy 10.15.09 at 7:41 pm

*saucy TAIL

Oops…

66 Resriechan 10.16.09 at 2:56 am

@ Katrina (spec. comment #60): You remember that song from the 50s/60s? The group performed it again for a PBS (TV) Doo-Wop nostalgia concert, a couple of years ago & it was such a fun bit …They did it in a really playful, affectionate style.

67 Subhangi 10.16.09 at 4:44 am

SQUEEEEE!!! Byootiful kitteh.

68 Blondie 10.16.09 at 5:50 am

@Lizzy (#65): LOL!

Happy birthday QofD!

69 Resriechan 10.16.09 at 5:53 am

I second the B’day wishes for the AWESOMELY cute QoD!!

(y’know, “hippo birdies, two ewes & stuff :) )

70 Jenn in IL 10.16.09 at 6:15 am

That is one wise lookin’ little kitteh…SO cute, I’d snorgle him anyway.

71 KatieZientek 10.16.09 at 6:30 am

I’m not feeling an overload of cute here. *shrug*

72 Tygress22 10.16.09 at 8:22 am

Then wait a little while, KatieZ, and you will. Not everyone has the same cute sensors :)

73 ding 10.16.09 at 10:15 am

The ‘M’ on the forehead is there to show you where to rub.

74 Suh 10.16.09 at 11:08 am

1st picture looks like he is smiling out the window. Soft I wanna pet him.
2nd picture HEEEY dog poop somewhere else! LOL
3rd sshhhheesh…what!?!

75 Katrina 10.16.09 at 11:09 am

Happy, happy birthday, babeeeeeeee, Q of D!

76 resriechan 10.16.09 at 3:28 pm

(sigh)
Well, even tho’ S. is still gone (hopefully to the Upstairs Department), at least this weekend I can keep comin’ back to these 3 photos & reminisce.

Only photo that’s missing, is one of him having mad, passionate intimacy with my friend N’s STANK boots. Some days, I think he only stayed around me, in order to gain access to the STANK….& maybe liver & catnip occasionally.

(snicker, *snerk* JK, etc.)

77 essacee 10.17.09 at 2:33 am

This kitty is so great.

In the last picture especially the schnozzle looks soooo cute. Those upperlip parts with the whiskers and that chin, I would smooch it so hard…
