    *checking Orbitz for best price on Hotel Marmalade in South Upper Lower East Midtown* (my new favorite part of town)
    Wait…the kitteh does COME with the room, right? S/he doesn’t just turn down the bed and leave, right?

  17. MJ says:

    Opulence, she haz it…….

    MmmMMmmm!

    Beep boop!

  27. julie b says:

    There’s a place in MN – Anderson Hotel – that offers cats with your room. I think it’s gone out of business now though. They had 3 or 4 cats you could “reserve” and they would stay in the room with you. Fun!

  28. skippymom says:

    It took me a few minutes to figure it out, but to me this cat’s face bears quite a resemblance to the face of Joan Didion.

  29. Decca says:

    Hello, room service? I’d like a bottle of champagne and a plate of tuna please.

  30. 260Oakley says:

    Thanks, Sharpy. That image is now burned on my retinas and I’m afraid to go to bed.

      @260Oakley

      >>Thanks, Sharpy. That image is now burned on my retinas and I’m afraid to go to bed.

      i know, i’m sorry. it came out so ghoulish. that was my evil twin, um, glarpy.

  31. kim says:

    OK, folks-”Roll Your Own”. Am I the only one of us to have gone to college in the 80s?

  32. spb says:

    I dunno, Sharpy… Joan, there, is lookin mighty pale. Do you suppose she might be wrapped a little too tight?

    • Sharpy says:

      @spb

      >>I dunno, Sharpy… Joan, there, is lookin mighty pale. Do you suppose she might be wrapped a little too tight?

      she was holed up at the plaza after gregory died. life was a little rough for awhile there.

  33. spb says:

    Kim… yes, you are the only one. ;)

  34. tenkits says:

    South Upper East Lower Midtown? Hey that’s my neighborhood!
    All you CO’ers feel free to stop by anytime. You bring the kittens, I’ll supply the yarn and bowls of warm milk.

  35. CATMAN says:

    Baby, it’s cold outside.

  36. Teresa says:

    :twisted: I want a kitty like that to wrap up in a blanket and snorgle :twisted:

  37. Hon Glad says:

    At the end of shooting the hotel Marmalade commercial “OK folks it’s a wrap”.

  38. speedwell says:

    The significance of the neatly removed piece of the window blind in the background does not escape me, either.

    By the way, folks, if you live in a rental place and you are afraid of kitties pawing at the blinds and breaking them so they can see out, you can do what I do… get cute bookends or heavy figurines and place them on the sill so they hold the blinds in place. I have two very adorable bronze kitties that have their paws raised to “hold” the books, except they are holding the ends of the blinds in my office instead, and brass kitty sculptures on the sill in my bedroom.

  39. ceejoe says:

    @speedwell – but then they can’t see out the window… and the whole point of having a home is to be able to have kittehs. :o ) I just tape the broken pieces back on, and when the blinds get to the point where they look like total crap, then I replace them. The vinyl blinds only cost $12/$15. The kitteh’s happiness is worth more than that to me, I guess…

  40. ceejoe says:

    dang, that was supposed to be a smiley face – :) – so that what I said would be taken in good humor. And I would love to see the brass kitty sculptures with their paws up – they do sound adorable!

  41. jujube says:

    Purritos on the room service menu? Calling my travel agent RIGHT NOW!

  42. Lerrinus says:

    OMG people! yer killin’ me with all the puns! Brilliant, one and all! :-D

  43. dawnkeyotie says:

    Ah, luxury at its finest. Turn down service and high threadcat sheets.

    These comments are keeling me.

  44. snap says:

    or you could just use curtains and forget the blinds. that’s what i do.

  45. skippymom says:

    @Sharpy–
    Holy Carp, I only just checked back here since yesterday, and what a lovely surprise to find the photo of kitty and Joan in bed together. Very nice work, dear Mod. Glad I planted the suggestion.
    Also: CREEEEEEEPY!!!

    • Sharpy says:

      @skippymom

      >>Also: CREEEEEEEPY!!!

      i know! i didn’t intend it, but the only picture i could find of miss kitty-looking-didion was as an older woman. it was a good call, skippy!

  46. Noelegy says:

    Speedwell, when I first read your comment, I parsed it as “…kitties pwning the blinds.” Which is, I guess, what they do.

  47. Hyura says:

    i just thought of something – i am surprised that crayola has not named one of its shades of pink “kitty nose pink.” right???? it’s really the perfect shade of pink EVAR.

  48. Denise A. says:

    Sorry, she’s actually Audrey Hepburn in “A Nun’s Story.”

    Let’s see if this works (link to image):

  50. brinnann says:

    I have blinds and curtains. I’ve learned to leave all the blinds open about six inches – a suitable height for a kitteh passage.

  51. Valerie says:

    lol…

    I have a body pillow just like that.

    @Doobie, I don’t know what it is about the sighthound family, but they love the hooded look. Remember Roofees? :D

  54. mplsmom says:

    Ah, a bed roll, time for a catnap.

  55. kawaii says:

    I feel like this every day. Just can’t get myself to want to roll out of bed!

  56. Valerie says:

    the kitty one is adorable the person one is creepy :O

  57. Valerie says:

    I do that to my kitty bbbbbeeeeeeep. eyes are freakin cute

    I bundle him like a baby till I hear GGGGRRRR. grump :D

  58. Why can’t my cat do cute things like that? The most he’s ever done is surprised me by being sweet to me when my dog died (which was about two weeks ago).
    Usually he just whines at me to feed him. And if he’s not whining, he’s scratching at my ankles trying to get me to feed him for the 394,928,270 time.

    Anyway, yay for cute kitties! :D
    *Snorgles kitty in the sheet*

  59. skippymom says:

    @Mini: So sorry about your dog. In my experience, cats are very good at knowing when we are sad and doing their best to comfort us.

    Re: the begging for food thing, my Eddy screams and screams when he wants the five thousandth meal of the day. Skippy just sits and looks up at me with a saintly expression on his face, which is actually harder to take than the screaming.

  60. @ Skippies Mom I have had te same experience with my kitties through the years tehy are very intuitive about when I am sick or sad andwill be extra snuggly at those times..

    and then there was our tuffy cat who went all postal on the neighbors dog when it got to close to my oldest daughter.

    And would also always join us for bedtime story at night.

  61. J.B. says:

    My kitteh does not look like Joan Didion! That’s just creepy! ;)

  62. skippymom says:

    @J.B., when I made the original suggestion of a resemblance, I was picturing Joan as a young woman, when she was actually quite a babe, in an “interesting” way.
    Your kitty is beautiful!

  63. Maribeth says:

    I think that kitty looks like a soulful baby harp seal. Not Joan Didion, although she is soulful, too.

  64. Sausage roll! gorgeous pic :)

  65. roisin says:

    My blinds are ruined by the kitties. I have metal ones I just bend back. Since the blinds where too long for my window I have the extra slats in storage (with my fabric and yarn of course) I can replace slats. I actually need to restring most of my blind as Bucky (or Mr. December as he is now known as) has chewed up all the damn strings. I like the bookend Idea. Thanks

  67. Jeannette says:

    Too Darn CUTE!!!

  68. Lewis n' Clark says:

    When it comes to eating, I not only get the whining, but a military escort to the food bowl as I climb the stairs after getting home from work.

  69. O NO He/She/It DI-unt!!! says:

    @ skippymom: your household / mealtime drama storytelling skills are very nice.

    Is skippy, by any chance, a
    Recovering Ex-Catholic (hence the whole martyrdom/ Guilt trip gig)???? ;)

  70. Anthony says:

    cute, cute, cute, weird how our pets find their way in the most strange position.

  71. BatBlaster says:
