Go ahead, dreams, do your best; because these wiry contraptions are built to snag the scariest of nightmares – ones that include furballs and Hoover vacuum’s power nozzle.

    To slightly veer from the norm here @ Beepville:

    “Boop-boop-a doop!”

  6. jenjen says:

    The next version of cats will evolve whiskers specifically to detect someone coming in for a beep/boop.

    ps hi hon glad; are you living happily ever after?
    Are there Bluebirds of Happiness nearby?

    (Isn’t that ironic that THE BLUES is the songstyle of angst….yet they think that there’s a BlueBIRD of HAPPIness???)

    Discuss amongst yerselves. But no ickiness today; just rainbows & stuff
    Today has been (sigh)> BUT THE WHISKERY FURRY PURRSON shur helped moi!!!

    Beautiful capture of a beautiful kitten. I am partial to tuxedo cats, as my guy is one.

  14. Berg says:

    @Peter G: What a little cutie you have there! I love the worried face in the link you posted.

  15. Mary (the first) says:

    I’m a sucker for kitteh whiskers, and this one is a beauty. The black and whiteness is a wonderful bonus. Sigh.

  16. cassandra says:

    *splosion of glitter and rainbows and pink floof* I are ded of cuteness. I LOVE kittens and when they sleep it is precious.

  17. cambridge_rat_mom says:

    I spy with my little left eye…what you’re doing.

  18. Donna says:

    One word. BEAUTIFUL

  19. StormCat42 says:

    You just KNOW his tummy’s all warm!!!

    Peter G, love the pics on the link! Those are Peregrines, right? (I think I spelled that wrong, but you get the gist…) Beautiful birds!!

    But back to this sleeping kitty… Anyone else hear slight snoring?

  20. wannadance says:

    my jasmine is a tux kitty with four sets of whiskers which are, bion, longer and floofier than even these…she keeps them all untangled and doesn’t like for me to touch them..she is such a pretty soft kitty and will turn tummy up any time for a gentle rub.

    ah luv mah jasmine…

  21. jlamusings says:

    Oh my.. so cute! And my BFF has had several tuxedos with some magnificent whiskers. One of them, Puck, has often caused us to laugh because his whiskers just remind us of out-of-control old-man eyebrows. ;-) Even better when he’s peer over a table top with his perfectly round eyes.

  22. kristabelle41 says:

    Aaah, too adorable!!

  23. Daphne Moss says:

    Estlin,
    I, too, have a lovey-dovey Tuxie at home, and he is the best!
    This beautiful baby Tuxie is sooo content…no doubt fed from mamma (“meehlk mouf” pinkishness is irrefutable evidence). I hope this little one’s life is always this perfectly content!

  24. Wolfie says:

    EEK!! Gobble-gobble! Yum, what a tasty cutie-pie! What torture to not be able to snorgle this morsel in person! Lucky Peter.

    *happy sigh*

  25. mie says:

    Ooo, Oakley, thanks for that earworm, now I got an excuse to dig up and enjoy once again this gem:

    In other news, purdy cat is purdy.

  26. kasia says:

    Just like my Angus! He had mad eyebrows like that when he was a kitten… then, somehow, he lost most of them and they grew back black. Except for three white ones on the right and one on the left. Weird or what!??

  27. Trixie says:

    I think this would be a *MASTERPIECE* if I could see one or two little teef in that mouth gap.

  28. chanpon says:

    Must. snorgle. NOW!!!

  29. whiskers says:

    Ooooh, it’s Fuzzy McWhiskerface! *squee*

  30. MamaLana says:

    @PeterG, you lucky fellow. What a sweetie pie!

  31. victoreia says:

    Okay….nap time! Where’s my kitty-pillow?

  32. Noelegy says:

    Sweet fluffy soft whiskerpuss!

  33. cassandra says:

    OMG @stormcat42 I bet his tummy IS all warm and soft.

  34. Peanut's mama says:

    OMG LEETLE PEENK TUXIE NOSIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111!!!!!!!!!!!!

  35. NT Mel says:

    I sooooo want to stick my fingers in all that fluff! I tried, but just knocked over the durned laptop. Scritchyfail.

  36. Teresa says:

    @Peter G :D I would just so LOVE to snorgle and cuddle that little kitty :D

  37. HRHQueenCat says:

    awwwww, SO sweet :)

    I have 3 kittykatz and collect their whiskers – 2 sets of black & one white, all different lengths as my kits range from 7ls to 23lbs

  38. HRHQueenCat says:

    ooopss – typo :r

  39. kibblenibble says:

    Looks like my dear departed Witchie must have looked as a baby. She was the most beautiful cat I’ve ever seen, not-to-mention being my kitty soul-mate. *sniff*

  40. Fishy98 says:

    Peter G: might that gorgeous tuxie with the Einstein whiskers also have a tad too many front toes? The pic of him in the basket makes him look like a Hemingway kitty. :)

  41. Hon Glad says:

    Hi “O NO” – Bluebirds are thin on the ground at the moment. I think it’s the dreadful
    weather we have had recently, still the sun is shining today so who knows.

  42. mousey says:

    That has got to be one of the safest, softest looking photo of a kitty ever.
    I love his/her delicate pink mouth. I can almost imagine soft little snores.

  43. Katie Kat says:

    OMG… SNOR-GLE! Must kiss that little kitten face……. STAT! *Ded*

  44. Peter G says:

    @Fishy98 Yep, all of the kittens in this litter are polydactyl like their mom. Apparently it is very common here in New England. They are also all boys!

    @StormCat42 Thanks, yep , the falcons pictures on my website are indeed peregrines.

    @MamaLana I feel extremely lucky!

  45. O NO he (she/it) DI-unt says:

    hey again Hon Glad:

It’s a (*cough*Overdue*) “little situation”, dontcha know ….therefore thereunto appertainin’….I ain’t been able to feed my usual addictive “gotta know the weather conditions at my favorite places” habit (eg: Yokosuka Japan, ‘old town’ Alexandria Virginia, and QoD’s home zip code).

    So I’ll ask: what types of horrible weder? temps or icky sticky or lots o’ H2o/ rain?

    Surely (yeh, I know “don’t call me Shirley” ;) ) y’all aren’t still in ded of winter weder,

    a bank holiday weekend, (Monday is included) and was wet and cold,
    However the last two days have been warm and sunny and so my mood improves.

  51. Rio says:

    N’aw! That reminds me of my little Mina girl when she was a kitten. She was so awkward! She had ridiculous whiskers, had the poofy fuzz fur, and had crossed eyes. hehe She grew into her eyes, at least. :D

    Here’s a pic that pretty much summed up her awkward kitten years!

  52. Rio says:

    Er, linking fail! Here’s the pic.

  53. supie says:

    Squee! Pinkity nosie!

    I’ll bet he sticks those whiskers up his human’s nose in the morning.

    That’s what my “felarms” (feline alarm clocks) do when there’s a food bowl red-alert crisis at 6 a.m.

    Anybody else ever snorfled a whisker?
