2 MoonCatty 12.23.09 at 12:10 pm: So adorabuhls! Little puff ball is practicing against a green screen, obviously waiting to be CGI’d into a fabulous flying Santa’s sleigh scene… as the leader!

Oh to tickle that soft fuzzy tum tum…
3 catloveschanel 12.23.09 at 12:12 pm: On Puffy and Pompom and Cotton Ball, et all
now dash away, dash away, dash away all!
4 ScoutsMom 12.23.09 at 12:13 pm: MoonCatty, I totally agree with the CGI background. Come on CO, you’ve got to put something behind the little guy to jazz this scene up a bit. Please.
5 Metz 12.23.09 at 12:28 pm: (looks up in the sky)
OOOH! It’s Santa and his bajillion Reinhams YAY!!

And it’s snowing! YAY!

Wait…that’s not snow…
6 skippymom 12.23.09 at 12:33 pm: Man, my cats are going to go nuts tomorrow night when they hear all the little reinham paws scrabbling on the roof.
7 fish eye no miko 12.23.09 at 12:34 pm: @Moonkatty: Will they also CGI a little red nose on him?
Pompom the Red-Nosed Hammie!
8 KittyAdventures 12.23.09 at 12:36 pm: HAMS in Spaaaaaaaacccccce!
9 KittyAdventures 12.23.09 at 12:38 pm: @ Metz…. LOL Incomming Reinhams

Snicker
10 Cristi 12.23.09 at 12:57 pm: Might be the cutest little “reindeer” i have ever seen!
11 Dustin 12.23.09 at 1:06 pm: In other animal related Christmas news, the telegraph has a whole gallery of zoo animals opening Christmas presents: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/topics/christmas/6872716/Christmas-time-at-the-zoo-animals-tuck-into-festive-treats.html

my favorite: http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01548/zoo23_1548696i.jpg
12 Laura 12.23.09 at 1:09 pm: *poit* Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
13 Ray 12.23.09 at 1:24 pm: CGI background indeed.
Now where is the URL for The Squirellizer when I need it?
14 Suzanne 12.23.09 at 1:25 pm: Pom-pom the red nose hammie
Had a very shiny nosicle
And if you ever saw it,
You’d think it was a hammy popsicle

All of the other hammies
used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Pom Pom
Join in any hammie games!

Then one snowy Christmas Eve
CuteOverload came to say
Pompom with your nose so cute
Won’t you be in our CGI shoot?

Then all the hammies loved him
As they shouted out with glee
Pompom the red nose hammie
You’ll be part of internetz history!
15 DewiCasgwent 12.23.09 at 1:30 pm: Clearly Santa is moving with the time Hammies are the Riendeer of the interwebs, proper reindeers are too big even without the antlers
16 Berg 12.23.09 at 1:47 pm: Cute photo! I am picturing a red nose on Pompon and snickering to myself.

@Dustin: Great link! I will be forwarding that to many friends. I particularly like this pic:

19 zeldapie 12.23.09 at 2:18 pm: Hooray, Suzanne!

Pompon, you look MAHEVLOUS! Have a great flight tomorrow night! Make sure Santa Claus brings me lots of hammies to snorgle.
20 TracyFlick 12.23.09 at 2:25 pm: its eyes are blowing my mind! gahhh
21 Katrina 12.23.09 at 2:28 pm: To The World: I’d like to put in for Pedro the Hairy Armadillo, please…

Reinhammsies, huh? Oh, sure, why not? What the heck does she feed those things to be so cute? She has an incredible eye for the cutest of hammies- ours were never that cute.
22 Wend 12.23.09 at 3:30 pm: Such a perfect name for this most adorzable of hammies.
Oh, and … nose beep!
23 DogEared 12.23.09 at 4:16 pm: @ Suzanne: that was fantastic! great job! enjoy your Holidays, Everyone, how ever you spend them!

*getting in line behind Wend for nose beeping also*
24 Mary (the first) 12.23.09 at 4:33 pm: Suzanne FTW !
25 tammy 12.23.09 at 5:16 pm: @ KittyAdventures

i heart hams (pigs…) in spaceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!
26 Jeanette 12.23.09 at 5:18 pm: Here, I fixed it!

27 Dash 12.23.09 at 5:26 pm: Jeanette, there are no words. *looks around for words*
Nope. There simply are no words.
28 Sinick 12.23.09 at 5:42 pm: @Jeanette: YOU WIN TEH INTARWEBZ.
29 jen 12.23.09 at 5:54 pm: if that reindeer stops at my house, i’m keeping him!! squeeee!!
30 5^^now8ing 12.23.09 at 5:58 pm: Suzanne & Jeanette — can we have TWO winners?! Yes. I think we can.
31 resriechan 12.23.09 at 6:12 pm: Meself, I vote for Dash as “Tha Winna” (sorry, Mr. Ali).

Then also, please note: The FuzzyWuzzy seems to me, akshually, to be attempting a Grand Jete. A Star is Born.

Thank you for your attention to these matters.
32 Queen of Dork 12.23.09 at 6:29 pm: Resriechan: It DOES kind of look like a Grande Jete!! Maybe Pom Pom is also auditioning for Nutcracker. With the proper costume (a Velcro attachable long tail) he could be the Mouse King.
33 Monterri 12.23.09 at 6:31 pm: Is that really a hamster ? I thought it was a hamster/mouse (a mouster ?). Just look at that face!

Horses used to pull carriages and wagons. Now we are training hamsters to be paperclamps! (Of a sort. At least we won’t need to bother with the electronic version now.)

Meg, I don’t mean to be a sourham (during this festive and Holy season), but the hovertext does not seem quite right to me…
34 resriechan 12.23.09 at 6:36 pm: @ QoD: then he could pull Double Pay !!!

That would provide *WELL* ($$)
for filling those mini-Guineas’ Christmas stockings, eh?
35 Queen of Dork 12.23.09 at 6:44 pm: Resrie: Well, he doesn’t need money for filling the stockings. The Dwarf hamster elves make the stocking stuffers in the workshop up north. He might need money to buy a crown if the ballet company won’t provide that for his Mouse King costume.

Monterri: I totally didn’t even notice that little boo-boo in the hovertext until you mentioned it!
36 resriechan 12.23.09 at 6:52 pm: @ QoD:

I’m surely glad you know these little logistical & planning details about hamster elves & such. I, for one, will sleep more soundly tonight, knowing that the mini-Guineas’ stocking needs are well-in-hand.

Signed,
Relieved.
37 nismo 12.23.09 at 8:03 pm: If you thought the derision for Rudolph was harsh, wait till they meet this little guy.

*stuffs in mouf*
38 Billie 12.23.09 at 8:11 pm: Love the tiny raindeer! Thanks for all your work this year! It makes my day to look at the furry friends on Cuteoverload every morning!! Merry Christmas to all the gang xxx
39 Monterri 12.23.09 at 9:10 pm: Queen of Dork: Let’s blame the hovertext boo-boo on the little one. After all, the “hamsterite” was in a position to re-arrange them…
40 Theresa 12.23.09 at 9:17 pm: @Dustin, that is FANTASTIC.
41 thepetmuseum 12.23.09 at 9:36 pm: Ah, I love checking in on Pyza and her hammies. Imagine seeing a fleet of them soaring across the sky!
42 pounce 12.23.09 at 9:41 pm: OMG serious BEF. Anime artists must stare at hamsters all day to get their eyes just right.
43 Nikki 12.23.09 at 9:55 pm: Jeanette, spectacular!! You’re my She-ro. Nice job.
44 pounce 12.23.09 at 10:15 pm: @Jeanette – just looked at your post.. *SPLODE* *DED*
45 Monterri 12.23.09 at 10:32 pm: The ‘hamsterite’ is bug-eyed and afraid because he/she (probably she) is being lowered into the dank, dark dungeons of Cute Overload, wherein the hungry peeps of the world will chase the little one until they have her cornered.

Really, is that not what we all are ? Just zombie Peeps, eager to devour the next victim to be dropped within our domain ? Just like little…um…Pompon here ? What chance does she have against our nomming selves ! For shame !

Will we follow the example of mindless Qte zombies, or not ? That is the question…………….I think we *should* be all be mindless Qte zombies. Only as long as Cute Overload supplies us.

But how can even the formidable forces of Cute Overload even hope to contain the madness of us peeps ? One day, they will not be able to contain us……(Halloween is over, yes, but the spirit of giving continues. Do not stop giving Qte!).

All Qte comes from God. Christ, being part of the Holy Trinity, had something to do with it. Merry Christmas!
46 Snowpea 12.23.09 at 10:55 pm: Put that hammie down next to the entry for BEF level 11.
47 Monterri 12.24.09 at 7:23 am: With those nommable *awwww* little feets thus splayed out, if one were to gently drop the little one onto a sensitive keyboard, would Pompon ‘accidently’ type something intelligible ?

(BTW, this activity is not recommended for the superstitious. It merely might be an amusing thing to do.)
48 Monterri 12.24.09 at 7:28 am: Actually, the sentiment better expressed here is (I am still getting the hang of these things. I like them because they are round and cute, even the little b*st*rd which is my favorite):

Ahem. Pompon is so cute. Look at those little feets just trying to grip something…!
49 Loris 12.24.09 at 10:16 am: Fixed, you say?

That flying hamster is still flying around WITHOUT ANY PANTS!
50 kibblenibble 12.24.09 at 10:32 am: I want to wish everyone a happy holiday–whatever holiday you celebrate–or a happy day if you don’t. CO, and all who visit here, are very dear to me. Thank you for making me smile and laugh each day.
Love,
kibblenibble
51 Shorty 12.24.09 at 1:02 pm: *iz ded*

I can haz one?
52 Katrina 12.24.09 at 1:42 pm: Too cute, too clever by half, Merry Christmas Peeps!

Yes, Shorty, go get one, tell them I told you.
53 Clara 12.25.09 at 11:42 am: With that green screen background someone’s bound to make use of it!
54 kasia 12.25.09 at 12:59 pm: ONE MILLION WHITE HAMSTERS!!!

Maybe that’s what clouds are!??
55 bri123 12.25.09 at 7:27 pm: awwwww!!!! im not a rodrnt fan but that is adorable
