1 Susan 11.28.09 at 11:39 am: That is so CUTE I gasped when I saw it. How did the “wrapper” get them to sleep like that. I’ve tried to makes Cats in a Blankie lots of times, but only came out exhausted, scratched and stressed.
RECIPE, please!
the pointed hats,
the little matchy matchy grey ones on each end,
the brown one with the circle on his blankie, I mean PLEASE>
I’m going to try and make this without the recipe, but I don’t have much hope.
2 harlemgrrl 11.28.09 at 11:41 am: that gasp was me
3 resriechan 11.28.09 at 11:41 am: *First: “The Three Little Kittens”
*evidently their mittens are STILL lost (I don’t see any mittens, do YOU?)

*are all three of them stowin’ away, running away from their parents’ house???
4 ariel 11.28.09 at 11:43 am: this is killer!
5 Heather in Oregon 11.28.09 at 11:43 am: At first there was shock and awe, how could someone convince kittehs to sleep in such a snuggleriffic way? Then came the question, was the kittehs ok? Then I looked again at the picture and the smile on the ginger kittehs face says “yup, I is cozy!”
6 260Oakley 11.28.09 at 11:44 am: These look like die-hard football fans at a game somewhere in the Midwest. The guy on the right probably wants someone to pass him a cold one.
7 Laura 11.28.09 at 11:44 am: They look so content!
8 giraffepizza 11.28.09 at 11:45 am: I really want one of those hats… For me and my kitten… Matchies!
9 Queen of Dork 11.28.09 at 11:47 am: Okay, CSO. This. is. so. ADORABLE! The pointed, knitted hats have caused me to sort of lie on the floor with my left eye twitching from teh qte.
10 Andi from NC 11.28.09 at 11:55 am: luv the babushka action!!! I’m expecting them to launch into something from Fiddler on the Roof any minute now!
11 Katey 11.28.09 at 11:57 am: Is that a book about Psychology and Terriers on the table? Clearly this person has cats figured out, so they’re moving on to a new challenge?
12 Queen of Dork 11.28.09 at 12:02 pm: Andi: Match maker, match maker…make me a match!
Find me a find…catch me a catch!
13 momkidd 11.28.09 at 12:07 pm: Three servings of snorgle in a stay-fresh box! Just what I always wanted!
14 KB 11.28.09 at 12:08 pm: This looks like a variant of the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee “burrito” wrap–used when you have to bottle-feed kittens. http://www.theittybittykittycommittee.com/2009/05/oldie-but-goodie.html
As Laurie says, “When you’re bottle-feeding wiggly kittens, it helps to swaddle them first.”
15 Birdcage 11.28.09 at 12:09 pm: Hello, Chief Sister Officer, whoever you are!

[That's Meg's sister Amy. She does a load of photo prep for CO, actually, and has since ever. - Ed.]
16 Paunchie 11.28.09 at 12:23 pm: OH MAH GAWD!

*ded*
17 Paunchie 11.28.09 at 12:23 pm: PS Hello! Meg’s sister Amy!
18 Brenda 11.28.09 at 12:29 pm: ADORABLE!
19 CalicoAngel 11.28.09 at 12:32 pm: OMG! I squealed when I saw these little angels. I want to be so snuggly and cozy and I really really want to know where I can find/make the little hats and blankies! Please!!!
20 Kendra 11.28.09 at 12:44 pm: I want to do that with my kitties!!! The smile on the middle kitty’s face is just PRICELESS. Hey, everyone, that’s what I want for Christmas!!!
21 Jake of All Trades 11.28.09 at 12:59 pm: The Three Purritos! Upon seeing these leetle guys on ICHC a while ago, there was a good few months where I would have to take a peek at the photo ever day. They’re just so perfectly precious!!!

PS: Also, I would like to thank CO for making it OK for a straight, 20-something male like myself to say such things.
22 kibblenibble 11.28.09 at 1:09 pm: I think they’re playing marmie in the middle…
23 Sarah 11.28.09 at 1:13 pm: PAPOOSE KITTENS FOR MY NATIVE AMERICAN PEEPS ON THANKSGIVING.

25 Aimz 11.28.09 at 2:05 pm: Holy Purrito! That is just lethally adorable. Definitely should have a warning, I almost had a Qte induced heart attack.
*steals marmie*
26 Argyle Donkeypants 11.28.09 at 2:13 pm: Thank goodness the Container Store has finally figured out how to help me organize my kittehs.
27 Johanna 11.28.09 at 2:16 pm: @ Susan,
I believe the critical first step of this recipe is

Make sure tranquilizers has taken effect before attempting.
28 shaz 11.28.09 at 2:29 pm: It’s the PURRITOS!!! (seen this before… SO CUTE.)
29 skippymom 11.28.09 at 2:32 pm: The first two are doing the “if we close our eyes they can’t see us in this ridiculous situation” routine. The third one’s eyes have glazed over because he’s sooooo tired of the nonsense to which their humans subject them.
30 kittyadventures 11.28.09 at 2:39 pm: The adorable hats the happy little smile.. the cozy blankets… I don’t think I can take it.. Squeeeeeeee!!!!
31 Lisa 11.28.09 at 2:40 pm: Shut UP!

32 Blondie 11.28.09 at 2:58 pm: Purritos! Marmie in the Middle! Ya’all are hilarious!

If I were a rich man, I’d have a bunch of kitties in a bla-a-A-a-A-a-A-an-ket…
33 gryt 11.28.09 at 3:00 pm: Kitteh papooses!
34 pounce 11.28.09 at 3:01 pm: OK, wrapping kittens to keep em warm is lovely, and cute. But the HATS!!! Where did they get the HATS!?? That took it way beyond “aww” into “OMGSQUEEEEEEE!!”

He/she looks so warm and cozy and having sweet dreams of sugar plum mice dancing in gingerbread kibble houses with catnip flower boxes and balls of yarn rolling around everywhere.
56 Queen of Dork 11.28.09 at 8:13 pm: Oh, and tuna fish scattered on every flat surface.
