THIS JUST IN: The “Suck and Glare”

by Meg on November 29, 2009

Carl the 17-day-old kitten does not like sharing his bottle.

Izzie, the older cat sits and tries to catch a drip every time, and all Carl does is suck and glare at her.

Ariel E., thank you for bringing this look to our atten-shons and for naming your kitten ‘Carl.” Nice work.

Wow — I only get that look if there’s cake involved . . .

2 Formica 11.29.09 at 4:42 pm

Son of Basement Cat? Look at those claws! Izzie’s asking for trubs.

3 Molly 11.29.09 at 4:44 pm

even the claws are out! they look really sharp

4 kat 11.29.09 at 4:44 pm

i like the contrast between the evil look and the smiling pink whales

5 Queen of Dork 11.29.09 at 4:47 pm

Gosh. Okay Carl. It’s all you, bro.
*backs away holding hands up*

Watch out Morris, with the glaring. Baby panther’s got its claws out and doesn’t look to be in a good mood.

Carl: Cat, there is a world of hurt in store for you if you put your face that close to my food ONE MORE TIME…

Also…what is that behind them? Because the little pink whales are ADORABLE.

9 kibblenibble 11.29.09 at 4:54 pm

Carl is SO Qte when him is angree! Want!

Having fostered over many very young kittens for the humane society, and kept only a few, I learned that adult cats Never Forget the love of KMR (kitten milk replacement) formula, but they do forget how to suck it from the bottle. Even the babies lose it if you delay weaning too long; by 6 weeks, they generally chew the nipple off the bottle.

12 Mrs. Catlabash 11.29.09 at 5:09 pm

You sure his name isn’t Damian? Cuz he sure looks like his name oughter be Damian.

*backs away slowly*

Tiny Evil Kitten. Awesome

14 260Oakley 11.29.09 at 5:30 pm

Izzie is trying to stage an intervention to finally get Carl off the bottle.

15 FurrsMom 11.29.09 at 5:32 pm

Attitude. I love a kitty with attitude.

17 trisha 11.29.09 at 5:36 pm

18 Aly 11.29.09 at 5:41 pm

Sweet whale jammies!

19 shaz 11.29.09 at 5:53 pm

I can has Carl?

20 shaz 11.29.09 at 5:55 pm

Formica: Nice!

And the kitten does not let a single drop fall, so Izzie’s out of luck.

21 Redd 11.29.09 at 5:58 pm

Izzie has the most be-utaful eyes I’ve ever seen on a kitteh. Come here, pretty girl, I’ll share my KMR with you!

I lurves female marmies. Almost as much as I lurve their callie mommies.

Izzie’s gonna have to watch out for this Carl fellow as he grows up!

22 Blondie 11.29.09 at 6:17 pm

BABIES!!!! Me love me kitty babies! BEEP!

23 Illise 11.29.09 at 6:51 pm

i think there should be a category called if looks could kill lol

24 Nikki 11.29.09 at 6:52 pm

Suck and Glare–outstanding name for this pic. Sweet little Izzie has no idea she’s messing with a ferocious baby panther…lol

25 BBCaddict 11.29.09 at 6:54 pm

Izzie does have gawgess eyes! Seconded!

Also – tiny kittehs are the most evilest. Truth!

26 Ray 11.29.09 at 7:01 pm

aaawwwwwww, new basement-kitty in training!
This one must be learning to use Jedi Cat Mind Tricks.

27 kiki willow 11.29.09 at 7:06 pm

I can hear the bebeh kitteh growls. Mrrrrrr. *suck suck suck* Mrrrrrr.

So Qte I just barfed a rainbow!

28 resriechan 11.29.09 at 7:08 pm

I vote for a possible alternative Picture Caption:

“Step AWAY, from the bottle!!!”

Also noted @ # 16: Alice Shortcake: are you CERTAIN, that that is the
EXACT wording of the Olde Scottish Saying????

(jus’ sayin’ ….;) )

29 Tigah 11.29.09 at 7:31 pm

Naw, Ariel – Izzie is so big now! How are the wieners??! Also – Carl? Awesome.

30 Nana 11.29.09 at 7:42 pm

Is this a remake of Rosemary’s Baby?

31 kittykye 11.29.09 at 7:51 pm

Two things I like about this picture:
1. Izzie’s eye colour. (Lovely!)
2. Carl’s furrowed brow. (Hah!)

32 Mud Bug 11.29.09 at 8:50 pm

Carl : “Back off hairball or I’ll scratch your eyes out” !

33 Noelegy 11.29.09 at 8:59 pm

That is the first time I think I’ve ever seen a mean-looking kitten. And I’m still helpless from the cuteness of him. (Bonus points for being a black moggie!)

34 debg 11.29.09 at 9:54 pm

I can’t stop giggling at the cat interplay here. Too much. So much, in fact, I need to adopt either Izzie or Carl.

35 Theresa 11.29.09 at 10:07 pm

PS: BEEP!

36 shaz 11.29.09 at 10:39 pm

@BarbaraJ: I love how you say “kept only a few” of your foster kittens… :)

37 Kimberwan 11.29.09 at 10:41 pm

Now don’t get me wrong-I LOVE cats, and these are adorable…..but the peenk whalios stole the show for me!

38 Dash 11.29.09 at 11:09 pm

Carl: Best . . . name . . . ever.

39 taj 11.29.09 at 11:59 pm

Aww, Izzie has lovely brown eyes, and is a marmie girl!

40 Nuri 11.30.09 at 12:25 am

Can I has Izzie? The eyes! they’re so CUTE! (say that last sentence like Marnie)

41 nicefrenchgurl 11.30.09 at 1:44 am

is carl really a baby cat? or is he a mini panther or whatever? because if he is this big at 17d old, i wonder how big he’s gonna get. and you’re going to be for some big fights for food later on btw izzie and him
enjoy while it lasts

42 Londoner 11.30.09 at 2:37 am

So much fuzzy ferocity! I’m in love.

43 meggy 11.30.09 at 4:32 am

Carl: Mine!

44 bookmonstercats 11.30.09 at 4:52 am

Pink, smilinks, spoutinks whales: Mine. is is a sweatshirt or a PJ top? Either way, musthave.

45 Typo Tat 11.30.09 at 5:48 am

So tiny and fluffy, but whoa, does he look mean!

46 Rachael 11.30.09 at 6:03 am

Check to see if he has “666″ on the back of his head. :shock:

Scary little dude but oh so adorabuhls!

47 January 11.30.09 at 6:49 am

And so Dude, keep your stinking pink nose out of here.

48 Shari 11.30.09 at 6:57 am

What is it about kittens when they are eating? They get so intense, so focused, so INTO it. Carl’s a kitten on a mission. But so gosh-darned cute!

And whoever said Izzie’s eyes are gorgeous? Oh, yeah. Extremely.

49 Kar 11.30.09 at 7:24 am

I sense a future of sibling rivalry. I bet they won’t share the rubber mousie either.

50 Katrina 11.30.09 at 7:45 am

MY what a BIIIIIG 17-day old kitteh. My what crue-el eyesies you have, too. Are we sure this is a domesticated puddy-tat? I’m leanin’ towards the Panther angle, wow….three weeks is 21 days…somethin’ not adding up here…more info needed.

51 snorglepup 11.30.09 at 7:58 am

“Impending doom” indead!
Pull that bottle away and he’ll be singing oh-don-piano…
or something…

52 Liz 11.30.09 at 8:03 am

Is that a kitten or a panther cub? LOL

53 ceejoe 11.30.09 at 8:18 am

omg, i *luv* this
everyone seems to assume Izzie is a girl, but I can *so* see my marmie boy doing the exact same thing… trying to worm his way into everything with his cute face… something about marmie boys just does it for me

54 raiu9 11.30.09 at 8:53 am

I bet you Carl has one of those deep bass voices and Izzie has a high squeaky voice. “Whateveryou say boss.”

55 SparklePaw 11.30.09 at 10:18 am

It is my goal in life to one day feed a baby sea otter, but this will do for now…

56 Shannon 11.30.09 at 10:34 am

That does seem quite large for 3 weeks……..also why are we saying Izzie’s a girl? I think I missed something while scanning comments…

I think whale top is a scrub top. lol – tho after second glance it’s looks a lot softer than my scrub tops…..

57 Natalie 11.30.09 at 11:29 am

We must assume Izzie is a girl because the post says “all Carl does is suck and glare at her”. :)
I too assumed the smiling whales were a scrub top, although to Shannon’s point it must be well-worn to be so soft and snuggly looking!

58 jen 11.30.09 at 12:01 pm

carl says “nyerh” to sharing.

59 vesper 11.30.09 at 12:05 pm

is it just me or does Izze have some INTENSELY ORANGE eyes?

60 Rooanne 11.30.09 at 12:06 pm

I needs a Carl kitty to go with my Orange & White kitty who looks just like Izzy. Where can I finds one? will risk the “rrrrrrrrrrrrs” email me at rooanne@needsblackkittennow.com

61 Rooanne 11.30.09 at 12:06 pm

LOL it created a link!!!

62 Liz 11.30.09 at 12:28 pm

All right, I have come to the conclusion that “kitten” is a PANTHER cub…. LOL

63 cheshirekittehkat 11.30.09 at 12:47 pm

Carl: “Lick, lick, lick…”
Izzie: : “You are a big kitteh naow; you doan needez baby-milk. Go ‘way, or I will show you my pointy ends!!!”, (which alreddy are sticking owt of his pawsies); :shock:

64 binky-mama 11.30.09 at 1:00 pm

Love the “glare-hance”!

65 Alice Shortcake 11.30.09 at 1:12 pm

resriechan:

I cannot tell a lie. I had to adjust the Old Scottish Proverb because, as far as we know, young Carl is not wearing troosers.

66 Katrina 11.30.09 at 2:02 pm

Is this our own brave and true Nurse Stef in her ‘whale-ios of caring and concern’ scrubs? Could it be she who keeps us safe and sound, well and whole and smelling of …what is in smelling salts anyway?

That isn’t a cat, not a domesticated one, anyway, that thing is gonna get huge!

Nurse Stef, get the gauze ready, we may have to take that animal for walkies! You first, heh-heh. Squeak, squeak…

67 Paunchie 11.30.09 at 2:46 pm

Don’t tell me I’s cute when I angree! Rrrrr!

Feroce.

68 Babs 11.30.09 at 2:57 pm

Heh, my marmie used to do that same thing as Izzie (with me, not an evil black kittayn): “I just want a leetle… sneef…”

69 Gabrielle Smith 11.30.09 at 3:02 pm

That is some serious cattitude, srsly.

70 KittyMarthaPoo 11.30.09 at 5:52 pm

Marmie: Oooo, I smell milks!! Mmmmm….
Kitten: ROWR!!! HEY, YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY MILKIES! !

71 Teresa 11.30.09 at 7:53 pm

:lol: Looks like Carl is about to smack Izzie for getting too close to his milk :lol:

72 Ariel B. 11.30.09 at 8:57 pm

My name also happens to be Ariel, and I also happen to know a cat named Carl.

She is a girl though, and she looks more like Izzie.

73 Mary Ellen 11.30.09 at 9:15 pm

Oh, too cute. I had two foster kitties one time, brother and sister, who did not get along at meal time. The little girl kitty would growl and stick a paw in her brother’s face while they ate so he couldn’t steal her food. It was too cute. Growls are adorable in 2 lb kittens.

74 dennylou 11.30.09 at 9:41 pm

I, too, love the combo glare/nose hance. I predict Carl and Izzie will become the best of friends…once Carl is off the bottle, that is.

75 AuntieMame 11.30.09 at 11:57 pm

Replace the bottle with bacon, and yeah. That’s totally me. >_>

76 go go pets 12.01.09 at 3:31 am

awwww

77 cheshirekittehkat 12.01.09 at 11:56 am

:oops: :oops: Ummmmm; I got the kittehs mixed up: SB the reverse……
(so sorreee; too much Thanksgiving revelry!!)

78 Holly 12.01.09 at 6:16 pm

You know…..if that kitten has silver teeth I see a kitty style James Bond in the works.

79 xandria21 12.02.09 at 7:39 am

I have a large, panther-like cat named Carl.
I feel like Carl is a really great cat name. This baby is doing a good job living up to it. Nice glare you got there, little one!

80 xandria21 12.02.09 at 7:39 am
81 Ms.ICantThinkOfaName 12.02.09 at 1:06 pm

This kitten reminds me of Megan Fox……… anyone?? anyone??

Megan Fox in kitten form………

82 Teresa 12.02.09 at 8:40 pm

@Ms.ICantThinkOfaName :D Megan Fox has similar eyes :D She was in both “Transformers” movies :D WHICH TOTALLY ROCKED :D

83 Ms.ICantThinkOfaName 12.03.09 at 8:57 am

@teresa

Haha..yey.
Im glad im not the only one who finds similarities.
that’s one sexy kitten. :-P

84 Fleurdamour 12.03.09 at 6:40 pm

Carl looks like a were-kitteh.

85 Calypso 12.04.09 at 4:33 pm

Hehe I have those same PJ’s….that kitty is gonna be one tough cat :-)

86 lighteagle 12.05.09 at 1:03 am

Carl too big to be a domestic cat, but he gorgeous! Izzie is probably a boy, most orange tabby cat are, my vet told me…But I know we don’t want to have over population, BUT I’d sure like 1 of Carl’s kitten’s when he old enough it have them.
