2 Mary (the first) 11.08.09 at 2:28 pm

My couch just has spare Cheetos and stuff like that between the cushions. Bummmer

3 Queen of Dork 11.08.09 at 2:29 pm

CO has killed me ded.

*thunk*

4 PippinT 11.08.09 at 2:31 pm

MARMIELICIOUS!!!!!! Meg, PLEASE put this on every page of my 2011 CO Calendar!!

5 Amy 11.08.09 at 2:36 pm

*looks between couch cushions*
darn.. only a quarter and an old frito.. how i wanted a marmie :(

6 wibbler 11.08.09 at 2:42 pm

How cute is the second picture?

With the paws scattered with such gloriously haphazard abandon, the not-quite-private privacy tail, those beautiful beautiful eyes, ears and nose – and that gorgeous forehead!

How marvellously coquettish. I lub him/her.

7 Queen of Dork 11.08.09 at 2:52 pm

Amy: I just looked between my couch cushions. I found a penny, a paper clip, the electric bill, some lint and a piece of crap. No cute kitteh. And I’ve never found a cute animal in my in-box at work either. *slumps down and pouts*

8 Katrina 11.08.09 at 2:55 pm

I thought Marmies were sticky-I guess not this marmalde! So cute!

9 Katrina 11.08.09 at 2:56 pm

Marmalade, (sheesh).

10 kibblenibble 11.08.09 at 3:00 pm

Nothing more sweetly innocent than a sleeping kitty…*sigh*

11 leafy 11.08.09 at 3:05 pm

omnomnom!

12 Katie 11.08.09 at 3:06 pm

I love that the kitty appears to have slept through the entire ordeal…

13 Queen of Dork 11.08.09 at 3:06 pm

Katrina: I hope you’re feeling better.

14 victoreia 11.08.09 at 3:06 pm

OMG! A carnivorous sofa! Somebody save the poor marmie baby!

15 Theresa 11.08.09 at 3:23 pm

HALP!

16 Shari 11.08.09 at 3:25 pm

Like QofD, I looked through my sofas, loveseat, club chairs, underneath the dining table, in drawers, underneath counters…no kittens, marmies or otherwise. Nuthin’ even resembling one.

I’m pouting, too.

17 Queen of Dork 11.08.09 at 3:28 pm

*sigh*

My stupid couch would devour me, my daughter and our cat if left to it’s own devices.

*sigh*

18 Queen of Dork 11.08.09 at 3:29 pm

Shari: Pout fest. *frump*

19 victoreia 11.08.09 at 3:31 pm

[sniff] No marmie kitteh in my couch. (Marmie monster under my bed, but no teeny cute babies…)

Also, still no pupsters in my in-box…..

Hello, Complaint Department?

20 Necrostump 11.08.09 at 3:33 pm

Nufferz :( that poor stuck nommable kitkit.

21 DaytimeDeb 11.08.09 at 3:34 pm

My Marmie is so big now, it is he who would devour the couch, not the other way around.

22 Queen of Dork 11.08.09 at 3:37 pm

victoreia: Hi. It’s Stef here. Complaint Central. What? No puppers in your in-box? WTF?!! We must resolve that situation right away. (Not sure how but pretending to know what the heck I’m talking about).

23 Michael Claymore 11.08.09 at 3:48 pm

“The horror…the horror…”

24 victoreia 11.08.09 at 3:49 pm

QofD: Not even a whisker! Just bloody stupid reports….Uh, did my boss hear that? (Or worse, my boss’s boss?)

25 RoseyPosey 11.08.09 at 3:53 pm

Oh! So sweet! I look forward to having to rescue my two new kittens from teh cowshe soon! I just got approved to adopt a brother-and-sister pair of 3-month old kittens!

26 chanpon 11.08.09 at 4:00 pm

The couch and its voracious appetite MUST be stopped! How many more poor marmies will be sacrificed to this terrible beast??

27 Queen of Dork 11.08.09 at 4:02 pm

victoreia and Michael: I get the most STUPID crap and stank crud in my in-box on a daily basis! No kittens. No puppies. No hedgehogs. No hamsters.

Just boring stuff. *sobs*

28 noramaria 11.08.09 at 4:05 pm

Why is it that I have the urge to put those paws in my mouth? They’re just so… fluffy. And floppy. And small.

29 Hot Tams 11.08.09 at 4:12 pm

AAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!!!

30 Queen of Dork 11.08.09 at 4:15 pm

noramaria: And delectable. And deelish. And yum.
(nomnom…nom nom nom. nomomnom nom. nom. yum. nom)

31 Dreamspinner Cheryl 11.08.09 at 4:16 pm

Not a nuff-exactly-but I’m just picturing what those little claws are gonna do to that delicate upholstery! Especially as kitty grows up….

32 Jen 11.08.09 at 4:18 pm

Did this baby Marmie happen to wake up at all during this couch consumption?

33 Ladycyberdmon 11.08.09 at 4:31 pm

Ahahah! I love how he is still sleeping even after sinking into the couch! What a cutie!

Or, Michael Claymore- the howwoh, the howwoh! (Elmer Fudd)

Queen of Dork-we all needed a little Cole Porter this evening, thanks!

36 Katrina 11.08.09 at 4:37 pm

Q of D: YES! I am absolutley giddy with newly-found oxygen! Thanks very much, Q o D!-still can’t type worth a damn, but breathing? I got it sooo covered!

37 T.U.M. 11.08.09 at 4:39 pm

ROFL @ 260Oakley

I feel for Mr. McCouchersons – I’m tempted to nom bebeh marmehs whenever I see ‘em.

38 gryt 11.08.09 at 4:39 pm

Want!!

39 Queen of Dork 11.08.09 at 4:45 pm

Katrina: You’ll feel soooo better in a day or two! I’m happy that it’s happening already. Good for you! Here’s a stuffed animal to help. Please beep his nose as often as possible. I just saw some horrible stuff on TV on the news and had to come to the qte to make me feel better. It Worked!!

40 DogEared 11.08.09 at 4:54 pm

a sleepy marmie kitteh always makes my day! too all of you peeps that are under the weather, stare at this kitteh, take a deep breath, imagine nomming various parts of kitteh (ears, toesies, belly-that-i’m-sure-is-stripey)…..see? don’t you feel better already..?

41 Queen of Dork 11.08.09 at 4:57 pm

DogEared: Yep. That did it. I feel dandy!

42 nismo 11.08.09 at 5:08 pm

Look at that delicious marmie in the first pic. I just want to INHALE that little baby.

43 Marianne 11.08.09 at 6:05 pm

super duper SQUEE!!

44 J. 11.08.09 at 6:09 pm

Head’s up! (Though I have a sneaking suspeeshon that Marissa have have aided and abetted the couch.)

Alas, soon this post will likewise slip between the cracks. :-(

45 kar 11.08.09 at 6:28 pm

I can’t believe that little bitty kitty hasn’t even woken up!

PS, is that from Rooms to Go Sarlacc line?

46 Teresa 11.08.09 at 6:29 pm

AWW :) I would gently move the sofa cushion and gently pick up the little orange tabby:) and then :twisted: STUFF kitty inside my jacket and RUN away :twisted: to give that kitty a loving home :)

47 Resriechan 11.08.09 at 6:30 pm

Hey QoD — I”m online but only for about 5 minnits so checkout yer poisonal email — the inbox IS occupied !!! See ya there — unless your notes here are from “long, long ago”????

Cute kitten. I”VE been swallowed by sofas very often. Nice thing is, they AREN’T painful !!!!

48 AmyJ 11.08.09 at 6:40 pm

Awwwww! Maybe marmiekitty is a cave kitty like mine – likes to find small dark warm spaces to snooze in.

49 Argyle Donkeypants 11.08.09 at 7:41 pm

This reminds me of the Far Side cartoon about the La Brea Carpets.

50 Theresa 11.08.09 at 8:08 pm

AWWW, Far Side!! I was DEVOTED to the Far Side!!!

Favorite panel– whale swims up to microphone suspended from scientific-oceanographics type vessel, and sings “Ah Louie Louie, ohhhhhhhh, we gotta go!”

51 Queen of Dork 11.08.09 at 8:14 pm

Far Side was cool. What was that one with the dorky nerd girl who loved Jesus? She went to “One Way” meetings. (no, I’m not referring to myself)

52 Wend 11.08.09 at 8:17 pm

LOL, cats and cracks! No other kinds, pls.

53 Ray 11.08.09 at 8:30 pm

*snicker* couch-cleavage!
Might be a stretch for “cats & couch-racks,” but I’ll play along for a laugh.

54 bluemenro 11.08.09 at 8:48 pm

OMG!!!! That almost killed me. Sheesh, CO should put warning labels on stuff like this!

55 berthaservant 11.08.09 at 10:18 pm

I love how the photog was prescient enough to get the “before” picture.

I also want a calender that has this EVERY DAY.

I worship our marmie gods.

56 Liz 11.09.09 at 1:13 am

She looks just like my kitty! Well, when Kitty was little.

57 Noelegy 11.09.09 at 5:58 am

All you have to do is view the photos in the opposite order, then it becomes a scene of a kitten-giving couch bearing fruit!

58 Rachael 11.09.09 at 6:09 am

Nothing between my couch cushions but fur and old doggie treats. *sulk*

RoseyPosey: Much loves to your two new utterly adorabuhl kittehs!! Garbanzo and Soya. :D

59 jen 11.09.09 at 6:26 am

omg what an adorable fuzzball!!!!!

60 ceejoe 11.09.09 at 6:37 am

RosyPosey – your new kittehs are beautiful! And bless your heart for adopting FeLV-positive kittehs! Wishing you and them long happy lives together!

61 Noelegy 11.09.09 at 6:40 am

Garbanzo and Soya??? KITTY BEANS!! Congratulations, RoseyPosey!

62 Saffron 11.09.09 at 7:33 am

@RoseyPosey…sending you beams of love and joy! Your new kittens are ADORABLE and you are FANTASTIC or adopting them!! They will have sooo much fun romping and playing on your cowche. Hooray for good people like you taking in kittehs. Makes a person feel good about the world.

So I looked in between my couch cushions and found 298 cat toys, the doorway to Narnia, a 1979 Datsun 210, some (unfortunately not all) of my marbles, Christopher Walken, and
seven swans a swimming.
I really need to clean more often….

63 Queen of Dork 11.09.09 at 7:42 am

Saffron: You found the doorway to Narnia under your couch cushion?! Can I come over to your house?

64 Suh 11.09.09 at 7:56 am

My kitties use to play in between the cushions. Was funny to watch. One would get down the other would jump at his head. Loved to watch them wrestle.

65 Theresa 11.09.09 at 8:49 am

Berthaservant in da house!!!

66 Snowpea 11.09.09 at 10:08 am

Oh, I want to rescue eet! It clearly is a neglectimacated kitty and it needs to be saved from that cavalierly carnivorous couch!

67 Paunchie 11.09.09 at 10:40 am

nuttin cuter than a wee kitty sleepering ~ look at his bitty pawsies

68 jp 11.09.09 at 11:01 am

“IS COUSH POTATUHBBYTAT! OMNOMNOMNOM!”

69 Samantha 11.09.09 at 11:17 am

Shoomp!

70 Paunchie 11.09.09 at 12:04 pm

Rosey Posey’s kitties are cute! The boy kitty has a little bit more brown in his eye liner, otherwise they look a lot alike.

71 hyura 11.09.09 at 12:20 pm

LOVE that the kitty slept through the swallowing.

72 Resriechan 11.09.09 at 12:24 pm

@ Saffron — Wait, Rewind !!

That was MY 1979 Datsun 210!! No kiddin’ — It were kinda (ironically) a saffron color (kind of a dusty yellow) — Does it have a Florida license tag on it?

73 Teresa 11.09.09 at 1:22 pm

AWW :) I am so glad that you are able to adopt those kitties, Garganzon and Soya, RoseyPosey :) Those two are going to be very badly spoiled rotten kitties, but don’t we all spoil our kitties rotten :)

74 RoseyPosey 11.09.09 at 1:53 pm

My purpose in LIFE is to spoil kitties!

75 Calliope 11.09.09 at 3:43 pm

Congrats Rosey! I recently adopted 2 brother and sister tabbies as well (though they’re definitely not shorthairs, ’cause their fur is getting floofier every day). It’s painfully adorable to have 2 kittens together so they can wrestle, wash each other and of course snuggle.

76 Gelsey 11.09.09 at 4:41 pm

couch potatoe

77 Ashley 11.09.09 at 5:56 pm

quite possibly the cutest thing I have ever seen. My cat used to do the first picture all the time when he was a kitten. He never made it ALL the way in to the cushion though. haha.

78 Bat-Snake 11.09.09 at 7:11 pm

This reminds me of when I accidentally put my hand under my boyfriend’s butt XD ! I had a nasty headache and had barely eaten all day and I was looking for the space between the cushion of the couch where we were sitting on (cuz it’s warm and comfy). Well, my boyfriend’s mom comes to us and says “It must be warm there.”
Me: Yeah…
And then I realized what I was doing! Lolzy apologies follow.

79 Mindflex 11.10.09 at 4:34 am

couch nom!

80 gretchen feeser 11.10.09 at 8:16 am

Isn’t this how Brad Pitt got his start?

81 Me 11.10.09 at 1:43 pm

NOTHIN WAKES HIM CEPT SUPPER TIME! =D

nape sleep nape sleep its a schedule

82 Teresa 11.10.09 at 11:37 pm

GIGGLE :lol: I totally AGREE with you, RoseyPosey :lol: All of us have the ultimate goal in LIFE of SPOILING ROTTEN our kitties and other pets we have :lol:

83 juilia 11.11.09 at 1:16 pm

84 catloveschanel 11.11.09 at 6:56 pm

This has been happening to me ever since Daylight Savings Time kicked in. This kitten is way cuter though! Thanks Zoe for the send.
