    This has been photoshopped. I can tell by the pixels.

    But seriously, this is one of teh most awesomest things I have ever seen!

  2. Not That Mike The Other Mike says:

    Wait, I think I hear a loudspeaker playing Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries” in the distance.

    [I love the smell of güshyfüd in the morning - Ed.]

  3. cheesybird says:

    Speaking of which, I just actually had to check my calender because it seemed that reality casual Friday had arrived early.

  11. Mina says:

    @Theresa: I once made the mistake of adding that song to a mix CD for the car, it did not end well…

  12. Theresa says:

    I would actually like to see a hover-soprano someday, and who knows, the soprano might even be grateful. ;)

  17. Good Grief; they disregarded all the warnings and fed Hover-Ball Cat after midnight anyhow…… it’s Tribble Time, and there are moar HBC’s on the way, a whole army of them……. :shock:

  18. kittykye says:

    OMG! Am I the only one that thinks that is soooo creepy?!!! *hides*

  19. 260Oakley says:

    Beware the dreaded Fluffwaffe, ready to drop “bombs” on your lawn!

    [ 8O :lol: :mrgreen: - Ed.]

  20. Kris says:

    Oh heck my cat can do that no sweat. Bettah even!

  21. Kar says:

    I usually don’t squee but that makes my day.

    I think that we can use this in the next Phantasm movie.

  22. Theresa says:

    @260Oakley, you rock like a beast!

  23. ♫ Here is a cat
    here is a hov’ring spherical cat
    and it’s pointed at you

  24. Katiedid says:

    Thank you CO.. I was having a horrid day.. and this was what I really needed lol.. :-D

  25. N. Fritz says:

    FLOOFF-waffe !!!! (that was the sound of me splorting macaroni and cheese out my nose when I read 260Oakley’s newest contribution!)

  26. @260Oakley: Lucky we’ve a squad of bomb-eating dogs.

  27. N. Fritz says:

    And Patito Gigante… omg is that a ROBYN HITCHCOCK reference??!?!? You meet the classiest people at CO!

  28. KittyMarthaPoo says:

    OH MY GOSH, three of them are even BETTER! ! ! ! :) Woo hoo, a whole HERD of flying fat tan grumpy looking cats. AWESOMENESS.

  29. steve says:

    Moglev cat?

  30. Trixie says:

    Didn’t they ride on these in Back to the Future Part II?

  31. gryt says:

    They’re coming to git us!

  32. snowy says:

    On your marks… Get set… Go!!!

  33. DebH says:

    Ack! A whole herd!!!
    Can you imagine the purring!?
    :-)

  34. BB/VA says:

    Gracie The Shrieking Beagle was like that the first 6 months or so – she just put a foot down occasionally to make sure she didn’t lose any speed.

  35. Mika says:

    Are those the new vilains to go with the new Doctor Who?

  36. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

  37. Nicole says:

    LOVE the frakking Battlestar Galactica reference!

  38. HopeGrows247 says:

    Oh, STOP EET ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *laughing *hysterically* Me sides! They hurts!!!

  39. Miyu says:

    The longer you look at it, the funnier it gets! XD

  40. Terri P. says:

    Looks like either Neville (I think it was) had another wand mishap and turned Mrs. Norris (who patrols the corridors of Hogwarts Castle with Argus Filch) into half a Golden Snitch, or possibly it is a rare photograph of a Kneazel, http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Kneazle.

  41. Teeny Gozer says:

    OMIGOD, this reminds me of those lenticular-printed pictures we used to have back in the day! I had a ring that changed from a 3-d Green Hornet to a 3-d Kato depending on the angle you looked at it.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenticular_printing

  42. boo boo says:

    that’s creepy…

  43. Lisa says:

    Paunchie’s right – someone DEFINITELY needs to add eye-lasers!!!! pew pew indeed!

  44. Denise says:

    LOVE IT! and “Floofwaffe” made me spew coffee and laugh at the same time!!!

  45. Hon Glad says:

    Those deadly dealers of death,
    the ones with tuna bref
    are flying into town
    here they come, mee-rowwn .

    Theresa – The Wagner lady in red, has a magnificent obligato
    and a very well developed diaphram.

  46. serenity_may says:

    run for the hills, hide, they are coming!!!

  47. Ray says:

    hmm, can’t decide which is better/funnier sound to have with this:

    1) idling Harley motorcycle – “bahrump, bahrump, bahrump”
    2) alien spacecraft – (sorry, no idea how to spell alien spacecraft noise)

  48. Birdcage says:

    Floofwaffe. That, right there, is some funny stuff. For me, personally, I have the sound effects from the pod-racing scene in Phantom Menace in my head. That says something about how my mind works. If my life had a soundtrack, it would definitely have been generated at Skywalker Sound.

  49. Fluidstatic says:

    @Ray … alien spacecraft noise? (NWYEEEEEERNGGGGGGGGG)

  50. Fluidstatic says:

    Also, is it bad that I don’t get “Floofwaffe?” it’s fun to say, but… ehn? *headtilt*

  51. Caroline says:

    “Floofwaffe”… That’s the best! :)

  52. marmar says:

    Can’t decide of this photo reminds me more of Star Wars or Tron.

    Yes, I’m old.

  53. Icewyche says:

    THE INVASION HAS BEGUN.

    Next thing you know they’ll develop opposable thumbs and then it will be ALL OVER I TELL YOU.

  54. Fluffwaffe? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! Thanks for the best laugh I’ve had in a long, long, long time. *tears* HAHAHAHAHAH!

    Oh, and Fluidstatic:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luftwaffe

  55. wuyizidi says:

    @Patito Gigante – This is my mental picture of those dogs.

  56. Kar says:

    Seriously, nobody else is imagining these trailing after the Tall Man?

  57. Weggie says:

    Jason! I love your avatar! Hee hee!
    How that guy stayed on TV, I’ll never know… Nice hair.

  58. nads says:

    Heehee!! Hovering on Purr Power!!

  59. Fleurdamour says:

    Headline: Schrodinger’s Cat Overcomes Einstein’s Gravity Theory OMG!

  60. Shadowtiger says:

    @Fluidtastic: Floofwaffe is a pun on “Luftwaffe,” the air branch of the German military during World War II.

  61. pookie says:

    Fluidstatic, the German air command used to be called the Luftwaffe. Hence, Floofwaffe!

  62. Fleurdamour says:

    Hey, you found my cat! Thanks.

  63. Mud Bug says:

    THANK YOU BIRDCAGE !!!
    I was trying to remember what those racer things were called !!!!
    (still hearing Ride of the Valkyries in my head)

  64. BeckyMonster says:

    My God, it’s full of tabby’s…

  65. puppies&kitties says:

    So funny. Goodness gracious great balls of feline.

  66. Saffron says:

    260Oakley wins at the interwebs!!!

    When they open thier mouths for noms, I’ll bet they look like Zardoz…”The noms is good…”

    http://www.badmovies.org/movies/zardoz/zardoz3.jpg

  67. Noelegy says:

    Oh ye gods and little fishes. I was having a bad day. Seriously. This literally made me snort.

  68. pounce says:

    OK, the first one was amusing, but THIS is hilarious.

  69. victoreia says:

    @BeckyMonster: Shhh! We’re not supposed to know what’s in the Monolith!

  70. Von Zeppelin says:

    A vital question of safety: are these hydrogen-filled hovercats, or helium filled. I am sure we all remember the disaster of 1938 (Oh! The felinity!) involving the hydrogen Katzeppelin.
    By the way, Pookie, the German air force is still called the Luftwaffe, although it is the Bundesluftwaffe these days.
    (What does a German fighter pilot eat for breakfast? Luftwaffles.)

  71. Karen says:

    @Mika: EXTERMINATE….mew!

  72. Fluidstatic says:

    Fluffwaffe… of course. Thanks guys. (260Oakley wins. XD)

  73. derz says:

    the photoshopper has attention to detail, he/she even added the shadows of each fluffball. Kudos!

  74. Its SUPER CAAAATTT! -vrooming noises- ykwim

  75. Hon Glad says:

    Von Zeplin – Was not the Hindenburgh disaster, a family tragedy for du?
    Englishmuttersprachlerin bitte.

  76. Theresa says:

    PSSST: WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T MENTION THE WAR!

  77. dub1 says:

    @marmar:
    me too! I hear lightsabre ‘fwoom — fwoom — fwoomfwoom’ noises from the hovercats, who I’m sure would have blue circuit lines.

    And who knew the Flight of the Valkyries has a CO connection, what with the jostling pwnies and all?

  78. You’re killing me! I now want a Hoverball Cat bobblehead doll. Seriously. Can someone make me one of them?

  79. john says:

    I was wondering when “oh the felinity” comment would hit!

    and these….are furigibles!

  80. Theo says:

    Dub1 — hehe. Flight of the Conchords != Ride of the Valkyries.
    Some grade-A video mashup potential there, though.

  81. Theo says:

    Diese sind die Furigibleiden der Fluffwaffe!
    (LOL, John & 260 Oak)

  82. HonorH says:

    This might just be the best thing ever. And “Floofwaffe”! No doubt this will soon be trotted out as our new national defense policy. Hovercats in formation! The world will tremble!

  83. Caroline says:

    The “Carmina Burana” comes to mind as well…

  84. Resriechan says:

    @ kittykye:

    (raises hand) ME too…. and frankly (sorry Ed’s) while the hovering motion is technically creative, it makes it even creepier to me (I really don’t know why…but there it is)

  85. Queen of Dork says:

    Hon Glad #45: “the ones with tuna bref” LOVE IT! Hahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahaha! I would freak if I went out in the back yard and saw this in real life. It would be terrifying yet hilarious at the same time. I guess I would scream, laugh, scream and then go to bed and hide under the covers, wondering who the heck had slipped me acid somehow.

  86. *ahem* Anyone else REALLY not want to be below when they drop “bombs”? As if cleaning the litter box wasn’t bad enough…

  87. Theresa says:

    @Caroline, yes, especially the “Oh, for Tuna!” part. :lol:

    [That'd be a cartload of Win right there. :D You didn't even need to change the spelling. - Ed.]

  88. hopie1980 says:

    TRIBBLECATS!!! they will start pouring out of the walls and ventilation systems soon

  89. Theresa says:

    @Saffron, actually, that was not the most disturbing image from “Zardoz”:
    http://www.toplessrobot.com/zardoz.jpg

  90. MickeyC says:

    Holy crap, that literally startled me! Most surreal thing Ive seen in a long time.

  91. Deb says:

    Simply ADORABLE!!!

  92. dub1 says:

    @Theo:
    face/palm for my Freudian slip of ‘Flight’: ‘Apocatlypse Now’ Hueys and a Hiphopopotamus in the soundtrack mashup, too, mayhap.
    I plead Flooftvaffe on der brain: best — neologism — EVAH!

    And Jemaine for Men in Black III !!

  93. MyNina says:

    Hehehehe I´d go for the Ride background ;)

  94. Teresa says:

    :lol: If I saw that :lol: I would open cans and cans of kitty food for them :lol:

  95. Flutterby says:

    WTF???? Creeeeepy li’l critters!

  96. blair says:

    Doom.

  97. Noelegy says:

    HRBLS!

  98. Nan says:

    hahahaha! this was hilarious when there was just one hoverkitty. Now there’s a fleet!

    [...or a Float. ;) - Ed.]

  99. @N. Fritz: I was sure nobody would get that one.. (tears of joy)
    @Wuyizidi: Bwahahahaha!

  100. Theo says:

    I got 99 comments, and a bitch ain’t one. Hit it!

  101. mervtheflamingo says:

    Keith Handy FTW

  102. DKN says:

    I really want someone to make one of these little furballs into a basketball in the hands of my beloved Jayhawks, sproinging up and down the basketball court.

  103. Saffron says:

    <3 @ Theresa, and…OH MY EYES!!!

    I wondered if any of my cats could do this, but that means they would have to actually stop napping and be ambulatory. :) ..and it would take time away from barfing.

  104. Theresa says:

    @Saffron, and just think, that man was KNIGHTED. :P

  105. DebH says:

    “Prepare to meet your HORRIBLE DOOM!!!”

  106. bookmonstercats says:

    Going back to Theresa’s wonderful vid of the the Valkyries (half a dozen sopranos in full flight – I’m still hiding behind the couch), we (mon famille et moi) got stuck in our car in frozen snow on a notorious British road called the Cat and Fiddle. My son got the front wheels unstuck from the ice (puh-leeze don’t ask how) and the car careered wildly on home. We had Classic FM on the radio and Ride of the Valkyries came on, playing us most of the rest of the way home. Oh how we larfed!

    I lof hovercats.

  107. Theresa says:

    @Bookmonstercats, get any motorcyclists? :P

  108. Resriechan says:

    @ bookmonstercats: I don’t NEED to ask how he thawed out the wheels; the
    space “between the lines” is perfectly clear…..yellow ….liquid ….
    .(Yup; I was raised around 3 brothers…)

  109. BStrange says:

    Too many threadlaughs to list… Oh, but why would they need lasers? Hairballs before and bombs behind (and chemical weaponry, too. PSHHT.)… And (I presume, I thinks I sees a tailio-nubbin back there) lashy angry hovercat tails and nomming-gear for close-quarter engagements. I fear, I fear…

  110. mfar says:

    Fluffwaffe! That’s the best! Can I order them in any color and pattern? I want a whole fleet!

  111. mfar says:

    CatZeppelins

  112. Roooanne says:

    Call my psychiatrist! I coulda sworn I saw one of the hovercat’s ears twitch.

  113. Valerie says:

    Rrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnn ! This reminds me of “V’ end battle were the aliens bite the heads off of mice…lol.

  114. Valerie says:

    @Roooanne..that might have been their turn signal! Space cat craft. Imagine trying to pick up and it freaks out like Edward scissorhands. Ok Im done now!

  115. Suh! says:

    They fly with such precision! vvvvewwwww.

  116. CindyO says:

    AAAAAAAAAAHHHHWWAAAAWWAAAAAAAAAAAHAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
    *breathe breathe breath*

    OMG TOOOO much! WIN WIN WIN for NTMTOM (Valkyries AAHHHHAAA again) and 260Oakley (Floofwaffe I don’t know if i’m dead from laughter or fear of bombing hovercats!) and too many others. CO does it again.

    (Except @Theresa PLEASE take that picture back out of my head)

  117. Saffron says:

    Theresa, I had forgotten what a deeply weird movie that is until viewing clips on the interwebs. He sort of looks like a proto-Borat….
    ..and, OH MY EYES!!

  118. NutherDeb says:

    I can’t stop laughing!!! Between the look on hovercats’ faces to fluffwaffe, this post will be the death of me!! I will die happy! :D

  119. Caroline says:

    @ Teresa “Oh, for tuna”… :) :) :)

  120. Juliana says:

    Please tell me someone remembers “Laser Cats” from Saturday Night Live. Just imagine Lasers shooting out of their eyes. This is the Cutest Intergalactic Weaponry Ever!

  121. Yitzysmommie says:

    I can only laugh and laugh, no good comments, sorry!

  122. Gelsey says:

    lol they look like cheese balls

  123. anon says:

    @Juliana: I don’t remember SNL but here’s something close.

  124. Paunchie says:

    HAHAHAHA!!! Big belleh laugh!! pew, pew pew. Those guys are awesome.

  125. Teresa says:

    @Caroline :lol: Oh yeah, I would be saying to those kitties “Enjoy the tuna.” as I open up all those cans of tuna flavored cat food :lol:

  126. SparklePaw says:

    I LURVE hoverball cats!!!

  127. Dave says:

    If only I could put this as my background for my phone! Hovercats! What a cool video game this would be cool!

  128. Mek says:

    OM(f’n)G !!!!

    That was so hysterical that I had to put my hand over my mouf to keep from bursting out laughing!!! [altho' the work gang *might* deign to come see what's so funny, they usually don't bother!!]

    I’d see the Hovercat — but these 3 really made my day! I will return to getting some giggles when the poop hits the ventilator here!

    Thanks, y’all!

  129. Alex says:

    For maximum effect, listen and watch…

  130. rizal says:

    hiihihihihihhihihh……
