Psycho(analyzed) Kitty

How is this cat feeling? If you’ve got an opinion, we’ve got a job for you. As part of a research project, Tagpuss.com shows pictures of cats and asks you how each cat feels. Kind of like “Am I Hot or Not?” as conceived by Sigmund Freud and Garfield.

  4. Metz says:

    Kitteh is feeling that the human should put down the camera and feed it already. :-D

  5. Andi from NC says:

    Kitty is is feeling winsome – “Somewheeere over the raaainboow….”

  6. That kitty is feeling hungry and Hopeful that she will catch that fly up there… see it on the ceiling.

    ;;;Kitty licks chopps and makes chitter chatter yummy look at taht fly sound;;;

  7. Bashful says:

    Kitty knows its place in the world is secure. All it has to do is flutter those pretty eyes, or maybe curl those stubby paws…

  8. 260Oakley says:

    I think that cat is feeling baked because he is so obviously on pot.

  9. alixjasmine says:

    Kitty is looking intently at a bird above, thinking, “Can I jump out of this pot and catch it in one leap?”

  10. metsakins says:

    kitteh is content with it’s progression of world domination plans

  11. anitab says:

    Kitty is showing the “ahhh…so much better; it may not be the litter box, but it will have to do” feeling.

  12. Mudbug says:

    Kitteh says : Are you kidding ? how can you plant my ‘nip in this pot ? There’s NO room to lay down in here let alone roll around in it !

  13. chanpon says:

    Kitty wondering: “Are those rain clouds? I hope so, the soil has been getting a bit dry.”

  14. Kar says:

    Kitty is stunning and knows it.

  15. tinywhiteflowers says:

    That kitten has murder in its heart. Theres a bug/bird/shadow just out of frame.

  16. Holly says:

    Kitty is wondering if that is an airplane up there or a bird……..cause she would love to be on an airplane headed for Fiji or the Grand Bahamas right about now. Anywhere to keep me away from that annoying neighbour girl who is always talking about her gourmet meals and her pawdicures that she gets every tuesday with her gals…….wish I could stuff some of that gourmet food up her little %^&*(*(&^%$#%%#%$……ahhh I feel much better now :)

  17. Andi from NC says:

    @260Oakley – for the win!!

  18. knittinkitten says:

    Kitteh is obviously trying to send psychic messages to her owner. Tuna and cheesy nibbles NOEW!

  19. Stellarz says:

    The little muffin is thinking “Ok, plz stop wiggling your fingers at me & unstick mah butt from this pot! Forget the picture, we all know how adorable I am!”

  20. OMG Kittens says:

    Kitty is clearly contacting the mother ship……

  21. Naturalady says:

    One of Gaia’s extreme illusions: diabolical mayhem (especially when it comes to tearing the feathers out of live birdies) disguised as phenominal cuddly cuteness. Hidden kitty-claws and teeth as sharp as needles are a warning, but the eyes………. the eyes……… the muzzle……….. the cuteness is mezmerizing and irresistable.

  22. crackjob says:

    He is feeling… round.

  23. Zuzzie says:

    Kitteh is feeling soft

  24. BStrange says:

    That looks like the look that precedes getting up, approaching, and doing the “stand up on hind paws and streeeetchypat your leg all delicate-like…. then maybe hook some claws into your pants if that doesn’t work” thing.

    So maybe a mix of “what are you doing up there?” and “I want (something)… I may not know what it is yet, but I bet I can make you figure it out!”
    :D

  25. Minutiae says:

    Kitty is obviously trying to ascertain the best way to jump at that black pipe/stick thingy above him.

  26. Kitty is “desperately seeking Tuna”.

  27. Jon says:

    That kitteh is NOT REAL! It has to be a stuffed toy!

  28. Teleny Parrish says:

    Cat is clearly having a mystical vision….of endless Caturdays…the mackerel sky turning the silver of fish scales, where all cans are cat-openable….(Huxleian/Jungian interpretation.)

  29. hyura says:

    oh no. now i’m totally addicted to tagpuss.

  30. skippymom says:

    This kitty’s adorableness gives me paws….

  31. pyrit says:

    How do you like me now, Anne Geddes?!

  32. Taking a look “tagpuss.com,” how can we be sure the results will be accurate? I mean, visitors to the site aren’t animal behaviorists, so the results aren’t really scientifically based. They’re just opinions.

    Of course, cuteoverload lovers are naturally better at interpreting animal reactions than most others….;-)

  33. Theresa says:

    @260Oakley, we OWE YOU AWE!!! :P

  34. Lerrinus says:

    OMG the extra soft-looking curled white paws! Squee!

  35. flutterbye says:

    Oh! She is gorgeous and knows it, also very comfortable in her soft fur coat…wistful about her good life, eyes dreamily gazing at her giver of fud asking for a can of ocean whitefish or salmon mousse.

  36. NT Mel says:

    Kitteh says “Am NOT kewt! Am fierce hunter kitteh, stalking my prey….”

  37. Teri says:

    With the constricted pupils and ears forward and the intense and focused look the cat has on its face, it must be looking at something that might be just the thing to catch and play with or fill its cute little belly.

  38. Rachael says:

    Kiiteh feels fluffy and cuddlesome.

  39. kayouko says:

    “O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?”

  40. 260Oakley says:

    @kayouko
    Shouldn’t Juliet Catpulet being saying “Romeow, Romeow”?

  41. CDAGE says:

    Is this bliss???

  42. JackieRose says:

    Kitteh is hoping for raspberry tea cakes. (He reminds me of Real Musgrave’s “Gargoyle hoping for raspberry tea cakes”.)

  43. Joboo says:

    It feels less bloated and horticulturally optimistic (due to the fact that it just laid a fresh kitty cigar in the flower pot).

  44. MamaLana says:

    I’m so pretty! Won’t someone give me some tuna? Also …….*beep*

  45. feezie says:

    Kitteh is feeling wistful (because she knows tuna and/or cuddles will follow looking wistful). Her pudgitude is evidence of the success of this strategy.

  47. Dreamspinner Cheryl says:

    Kitty is feeling hopeful for a nice rain, when he’s planning to sprout into a pussywillow bush. Or, cattails.

  48. AliceBlue says:

    Is anyone else a little put off by the improper grammar on the tagpuss site?

    This cat, btw, is feeling loving.

  49. James C Sherman says:

    Bird BRAAAAAAAINS!

  50. Ekajati says:

    Me? Eat all the pate de foie gras?

  51. Robn says:

    That little darling has such a pretty little face. Her eyes look brown. Can’t say I have ever seen a cat with those color eyes before. She’s adorable.

  52. Illise says:

    That kitty has a puppy complex as he is trying to pull his best puppy eyes look

  53. maijasservant says:

    …nothing…

  54. wannadance says:

    kitteh has severe case of OCD, is in care for it. immediately after the 5th total grooming of the day, every whisker aligned, feet just so, facial expression carefully arranged, the local OCD Psych Team leapt in and choo-choo’d in a large dose of Grampa’ s Longacting Homegrown under Growlamps in the Outhouse no Longer in Use as Such DOPE. cures athealetcs food, femail problemz, whatever ails ya. caustion: do not use before skool speling beee.

    i other words, that kitteh is stoned. wish i were there…

  55. Daphne Moss says:

    Lol@260Oakley,
    Fess up. You are a professional writer, yes?

  56. Theresa says:

    Are we getting spammed more than usual?

    • Sharpy says:

      spam? what spam? i don’t see no stinkin’ spam!

      –blows smoke out of SpamKiller5000© and returns to holster.

  57. girlnextdoortn says:

    Happies!

  58. Emi says:

    kitty feels like a strawberry

  59. mbraif says:

    Pweez wuv me.

  60. Gangreless says:

    Kitty is trying to use his mini litter box and is annoyed that you are watching him pee.

  61. Fern says:

    Kitteh is stoned. It may be high on life or that extra-special ‘nip the owner is growing in the garage under the grow lights, but it’s stoned!

    Do cats get the munchies?

  62. Hon Glad says:

    Kitty feels, am I not a sexy SOB.

  63. brussey says:

    The kitty is thinking “Oh no… my eyes filled with helium again… Hrggnnnnh!”

  64. kitty is thinking ‘duuuuuuuuude I am so high right now! I just rolled in like an ounce of catnip!’

  65. sherb says:

    Definitely feeling photogenic

  66. sherb says:

    And as for the tagpuss site – where are emotions my cats feel : like superiority, irritation and total disbelief that I still have not given them what they want

  67. Emmberrann says:

    “Hmm. The target is about 10.6 feet northwest of this round trench and about 3 feet above, the cosecant of the arc of trajectory is…. yes, lesseenow, if I make the leap about 14.4 degrees to the right, and if that (expletive deleted) bird will just sit tight for mebbe 2.3 seconds, lunch will be served!”

  68. Noelegy says:

    Robn, my Philo kitty has hazel eyes like that. Before this kitty, I’d never seen another hazel-eyed puss. Quite beautiful, aren’t they?

  69. patreesha says:

    daydreamin’ and I’m thinking of you……

  70. trippy sister says:

    Way cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  71. O NO (he/she/or it) DI'UNT!!!!! says:

    Nice, Sharpy !!! :)

    Signed,
    Admiring

  72. Loretta says:

    Looks like he/she is having a daydream.

  73. Lorel J says:

    That tagpuss.com thing seems very tedious and I wonder if it’s just a marketing device. Anyone know?

  74. Teresa says:

    AWW :D What that little kitty feels is “LOVE, LOVE, LOVE” (The Beatles) :D as he/she knows they are going to be picked up and snorgled :D

  75. AuntieMame says:

    Is Sharpy our Mod-in-Training, gone undercover or something?

    • Sharpy says:

      it IS awfully confusing, isn’t it?

      we planned a big formal post, with champagne, balloons and a few spins of my new hit single, “my money is classier than your money”* but it got lost in the whirlwind of social engagements on the CO calendar.

      so yes, hidden under the cover of a comment thread, i emerge as your new moderator, aka “Sharpy.”

      sometimes i do get a little lost around here, so please feel free to tell me where to go.

      thanks for asking.

      *for future reference, yes, i am a RHONY fan. if by “fan” you mean someone who watches with my head between my knees.

    …please feel free to tell me where to go.

    Bwahaha! I’m sure there will be plenty of folks more than willing to do just that, Sharpy. :D

  78. MoniMe says:

    Kitty is obviously feeling a bit strung out after 48 hours of watching non-stop MASH reruns and swigging Red Bull, but is trying to hide it behind a not-so-convincing “cute” look.

  79. RikiNY says:

    Omg, it’s Nermal!

  80. Joxh says:

    “This year we grew potted strawberries and a kittah cat plant. The kittah is almost ready to pickedt.”

  81. Mega says:

    My mommy had a fling with a slow loris in South America. I still watch the trees, hoping someday he’ll come looking for me.

  82. catmom says:

    the cute kitten just wants FOOD! they all have that look at dinner time it called feed me!

  83. Amanda says:

    Lookin’ all adorable, but plotting DEATH to an insect nearby…..

  84. karamell says:

    this is my cat Happy. If there are enough tuna to eat, or she ist outside in the sun, she feels happy. :)

  85. snorglert says:

    Kitty: “That guy should really put some pants on…”

  86. DaCentaur says:

    “Oh why oh why do you tease me so?”

  87. Jenk says:

    this cat is thinking: THIS ACID IS SO STRONG

  88. valerie says:

    Kitty is feeling irreverant.

  89. briitstar3 says:
