    She is so well hidden that she has managed to escape the notice of title and float text.

    :twisted: A tisket, a tasket, a sweet little kitty in a basket :twisted: :D That kitty is MINE if I could get my hands on her :D A forever home full of cuddles, pets, yummy cat food, places to sleep like beds and sofas, fresh water every day, and yearly vet check-ups to ensure kitty’s health :D

    The fur looks so sooooooooffft. *sigh*

  9. Cat Skyfire says:

    Of course you shouldn’t put them in the waste paper recycle basket. You should put them in the kitten recycle basket. Don’t mix your recyclables.

  11. BabyOpossum says:

    Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not around the eyes, don’t look around the eyes, look into my eyes…SNAP! You’re under.

  12. Cookie Monster says:

    -melts into a puddle- S/he has amazing eyes :D

  13. Theresa says:

    (weeping) My sweet darling Stinky was a thrown-away kitten! I hate to think about it, but I never would have had him if some !@##@$ hadn’t thrown him away. :cry:

    • Katie says:

      My beloved muttbaby Reeses was “thrown away” too. It breaks my heart to think about it. But I’m glad we were able to adopt her after she was rescued.

  14. victoreia says:

    :gasp: Those eyes! [thud]

  15. victoreia says:

    Isn’t that the laundry basket? [falling over again]

  16. Carolyn says:

    Look into my amazingly gorgeous irresistable aqua ojos. Stare deeply into the verticle eye-slits that are my pupils. You will quit your day job and bring me 100% of your all-day fishing haul. You will do this for me, & for my furry friends. *I now own your soul.*

  17. Queen of Dork says:

    I love that velvety looking nose!

  18. kat says:

    k i’m going to join in ’cause those eyes are just soooo beautiful! even though i’m allergic i think if i saw that cat’s mesmerizing eyes i’d have to have eet!!

    and cute hovertext :D

  19. Erin K says:

    I love the comments on the Flickr page, too: a multilingual explosion of kisses/besos and exclamations of Oh, how cute!/Ai, que mono! P.S. I adore that the way to say “Oh, how cute!” in Spain is “Oh, how monkey!”

  20. Katrina says:

    I have checked all over the house-no puddies here, *Flern*.

    “Flern” is a word of many feelings all wrapped up together- sadness, disappointment, impatience, hopelessness, annoyance, you know, the feeling one gets when there is no kitten in your wastebasket or your car doesn’t start or you find Corgi fur all over your instrument case just when you are late for a rehearsal. *Flern* It is the last stage before one starts flapping one’s arms in consternation- “flap!”

    However, “Hope springs eternal from the human breast”- Hope- the Antiflern.

    Yeah, I’ll keep lookin’!

    And Flapping.

  21. Katrina says:

    OH, yes, “flern works perfectly right after dropping a raw egg on the floor. That is how the word was coined. as in “OH, FLERN!”

  22. earlybird1 says:

    LOL @Katrina! XD You are too funny!

  23. earlybird1 says:

    Oh, and I am pretty sure this kitteh needs baskethab.

  24. BStrange says:

    The eye color is “robins eat your little hearts out, because your eggs will never be this pretty”. Which does not stop them from looking like they belong on a googly-eyed goldfish. I guess the basket is her fishbowl?

  25. Lerrinus says:

    Methinks the kitteh is close in colour to the basket….matchingks tags, pwetty please, Ed.?

  26. Von Zeppelin says:

    “You have placed me in a trash basket. Fine. I will now begin planning a revenge so harrowing that the heavens themselves will be shaken. Don’t do this again.”

  27. N. Fritz says:

    those eyes are definitely radioactive – they need to be recycled with batteries, old computers and the like.

  28. Better check the bottom, but this looks like a #2 PET kitteh. Put it in the right recycle bin.

  29. marthava says:

    Holy crap!! You should check out Fernando the photog, too!!! Be still my heart…..!!!….*gasping*

  30. chanpon says:

    If you throw me out, I shall forever haunt you with these mysterious blue eyes….

  31. kibblenibble says:

    marthava, thanks for the tip. A beautiful man who takes pictures of cute kittens….Be still, my heart! ♥ However, I would bet that he isn’t as clever and witty as our NOMTOM. Still, he is definitely worth a look…☺

  32. awww cuteset recycling kitty ever.

    We also had a… well I used to call her our garbage can kitty, because she was found in the 7-11 market garbage can then transported to the coffee shop where a hoard of teenagers feed her junk for a few hours until I showed up to pick up my daughters at which point she became ours… and notably my husbands favorite. he called her little kitty

    her name Magneato. She is in my avatar.

    and she never got beyond her love of garbage can food… her favorite was pizza, and she loved to fish stuff out of our garbage can.

  33. janet2buns says:

    @kittyadventures: It’s the stoopid hoomins who need to get thrown into the garbage can, not the kitties.

    [Now now, let's not get political. ;) - Ed.]

  34. CC says:

    I’m absolutely astonished that there’s no nuffing going on about even SUGGESTING throwing cats away.

    That said, my baby was left on a doorstep with her littermates in a box, and she eats absolutely everything. She’s our feline garbage disposal.

  35. Queen of Dork says:

    kittyadventures: Awwwwwwww. She is lovely! And so are you! :) Your story caused me to smile. I’m so glad you saved her.

  36. neha kausar says:

    omg!!! tats so cuteeeee

  37. This kitteh could easily be the poster-child for all homeless fur-bebbehs……
    Gotta go now; (my eyes are starting to leak…… :cry: )

  38. AuntieMame says:

    Heh, I was going to make a comment about recycling the kitteh, too, but it looks like you smart people beat me to it.

    Flern it! :D

  39. Sweeda88 says:

    *BEEP* Thar. Mah nose beep-age crahving is sat-ees-fried!

  40. Theresa says:

    FLERN! Excellent, Katrina. How’s the orchestra?

  41. Queen of Dork says:

    Theo’s up! (poke, poke, poke at Theo. “I’m not touching your arm. I haven’t REALLY poked you!) Poke.

  42. MadameX says:

    kittyadventures, my Shira (or Shiraz, if she’s feeling regal, which is often), too, is a fast-food dumpster rescue – KFC, in her case. When I picked her up (with a bucket of original recipe, coleslaw and mashed potatoes, please), she was a tiny mass of wet and greasy black fur infected with every possible parasite known to veterinary science… She now is the sweetest, daintiest, purriest kitty ever, and I love her dearly.

    She doesn’t like garbage.

    And is not fond of chicken either.

    Go figure.

  43. Queen of Dork says:

    MadameX: Blessings sent to you from myself and SamKitty. (who was on his way out the door from his previous owner. So he knows how it feels to be rejected)

  44. Rachael says:

    I think the throwaway critters often turn out to be the most loving of all. It’s like they know they’ve been given a second chance and they’re so eager to love and be loved. I’ve got a couple of throwaways myself right now and they are both gifts from the gods.

  45. mie says:

    @marthava (#30): My oh my, thanks for the tip!
    Anyone even the slightest bit inclined to enjoy the sight of cute guys cuddling up with kitties deffo needs to check the next picture in the “Crazy Cats” set on the flickr page!!

  46. Trixie says:

    They are catnotizing me :O

  47. Queen of Dork says:

    I…have…looked…at…the…eyes…too…long. I’m…catatonic…*holding fingers immobile above keyboard*

  48. Marie says:

    Omigawd. Fun-nee! ;D

  49. gryt says:

    The floof!! *snorgles computer screen*

  50. Joyce says:

    OMG, what a cutie. I must kiss it’s nose…..oh no….smudgy computer screen.

    Lovely peoples saving garbage kitties – your my heros!

  51. Noelegy says:

    My Murphy was a throwaway kitty. I first made his acquaintance at the pound, when I met the lady who was dropping him off. He had been dumped on her property and she regretfully could not keep him because she had big dogs. Nine years later, he’s a 20-lb., solid black bundle of purrs, talkative, lovable, and as Rachael said, seems very grateful for his second chance.

  52. Noelegy says:

    P.S. Jeepers creepers, those are some amazing peepers!

  53. Joyce says:

    Icky grammar – your are (you’re) my heros.

  54. Teresa says:

    :D I am so glad to hear that you all = Theresa, Katie, kittyadventures, Madame X and Noelegy, were able to rescue those kitties of yours and give them forever homes :)

  55. Teresa says:

    :) I also want to say to Rachael that I am so glad to hear that you were able to rescue two kitties and give them a forever home :)

  56. Teresa says:

    :) I also want to say to Queen of Dork that I am so glad to hear that you were able to give your kitty a forever home :)

  57. Teresa says:

    @janet2buns :twisted: I agree with you about some stupid humans that need to experience the horrible fate of being tossed in the garbage can like they did those poor kitties :twisted:

    @Ed :( I can’t help feeling mad at people who are so mean to kitties :(

  58. Priscilla says:

  59. Priscilla says:

    Lolz my family calls my kitty a lil Siberian tiger cauz her baby blue eyes and stripity tail, body and paws xD lolz I’m just so amazed that there’s a kitty tht looks just like her xD

  60. Loren says:

    Don’t you guys have any sense of decency? What’s the idea of posting such a trashy kitten?

  61. journey says:

    S/he has such lovely eyes! I could look at them for hours ‘n hours…

  62. library_girl says:

    aww, my kitty wasn’t *exactly* a throw away, but close.

  63. Queen of Dork says:
