Hey, Look What I Found in the Sofa!

It’s a kitteh! And I was just hoping to find some loose change.

    little ball of fur.
    Happy kitty,
    sleepy kitty,
    purr, purr, purr

  3. Golden says:

    Good Lord!

  4. Manny says:

    haha, @zuzzie you are full of win :D

    IT’S SO FLUFFFFFFFY!!!!

    P.s Can I please go home and have a nap with my own fluffy kitten now? How about now?

  5. Berg says:

    Ooh–I think I’ll clean my couch when I get home. Fingers crossed that I find something even half as cute as this.

  6. Dash says:

    *rushes off to check cushions*

  7. Oh the future Fluffitude.

    Echos Cathy with the lovely poem!

  8. skippymom says:

    Her name is Julie! Ooh, now I want to run out and get another girl kitty so I can name her Julie!

    p.s. if I had this little ball of floof I would absolutely not get anything done, ever, because I would spend ALL my time snorgling her.

    Life, liberty, and the purrsuit of lappiness

  10. And oakley has another SCORE! :D

  11. Nikki says:

    I just love the curled paws and the ear splayage! Her little ear smooshed under her sweet little head is adorable to the 10th power. Purr.

  12. fish eye no miko says:

    Axis of snorgling! [snorgles]

  13. Saffron says:

    Cath21 wins at the interwebs! :D :D :D

    Now that song is stuck in my head….and that is OK!

  14. Shannon Riley says:

    Ooooooo bite size morsel or is it perfect tummy snorgle size? Will explode at endless possibilities

  15. Another example of purragami!

  16. Kar says:

    Man, how come I never find fun stuff like that in between my sofa cushions?

    And please don’t start them on dimebags that young. That should be a teenage rite of passage.

  17. wuyizidi says:

    @Cath21, is that a Big Bang Theory reference, because if it is, this cat needs to be named “Zazzles, because he’s so zazzy”.

  18. GingerBean says:

    oh I love kittens at that age…they’re like tiny, fuzzy, warm noodles.. * sigh*

  19. Wendy says:

    Darn Cath21, you took mine.

  20. Rachael says:

    You can almost feel the velvety floof right through the monitor.

  21. Metz says:

    Performing major acts of bendyism to fit self around snoozing kittyan…
    AaaaaaaaaZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz

  22. victoreia says:

    I never find that in my couch cushions! And…..

    FLOOFY MARMIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [ded]

  23. Wendy says:

    Darn Cath21, you took mine. I think Sheldon would approve though.

  24. ceejoe says:

    Oh. My. Lord. I am so ded. Floof, marmie, pink toebeans, named Julie, pink nose and leeps just the right size for a big smooch. Ded. What more can I say? And awesome couch.

  25. kris says:

    it’s nice to know sheldon loves kittehs like we do.

  26. Louisa says:

    those ears look very interesting! she looks like chii from chobits!

  27. tracylee says:

    to echo the puppers of yore:

    WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT

    teeheehee

  28. harmlesslittleflea (Clare) says:

    The triangular ear extending from cheek dedded me even more than the toebeans. It did.

  29. MamaLana says:

    Such teeny tiny floof!

  30. Snowpea says:

    Oh, my, gawd. I whimpered out loud at work I want to hold that kitten so SO BAD! *meltedpuddlebrain*

  31. Gigi says:

    @ 2 Cath21 My husband passed me a cold and I’ve been signing the Soft Kitty song to myself for 2 days. In the subway, at the office, it was just stuck in my mind on a loop.

    I’ve finaly got it out of my head today (the cold and the song) and now it’s back!
    But only the song so that’s OK :-)

  32. Jody says:

    Kitty is exposing the axis of snorgling!

  33. Alice says:

    Yoda in kitteh disguise it be!

  34. Valerie says:

    ITS MINE!!! I lost it thanks no gives it tooo me. =D

  35. Valerie says:

    big head little body…baby kitten is precious

  36. Beagler says:

    Her white sleeves and folded front paws are killing me, its like she’s wearing a little kitteh kimono.

  37. gryt says:

    *ded*

  38. metsakins says:

    Last night I found 1 knitting needle and 2 crochet hooks, and a candy wrapper. The kitteh that was on my couch was very annoyed that I disturbed him and left. (true story…)

  39. Susan says:

    Iddle pitten!

    Nice couch too.

  40. Hyura says:

    exactly how tiny is that kitten? i want to see a normal object next to it, maybe like an iPhone, for scale!!

  41. J. says:

    O noes, I think someone cwushed da kitteh wit dere wittle black behind!

  42. dawnkeyotie says:

    Oh my. Need to bury face in tiny leetle chest. Right. Now.

  43. S.J. Hartsfield says:

    I swear, nothing and nobody in the WORLD can get comfortable like a kitteh can get comfortable. It’s an art form.

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

    ….off the CHARTS cute.

    (*sigh of contentment*)

  45. Bellablue says:

    OMG – the fuzzzz I lof eet

  46. skippymom says:

    Gigi, you’ve been signing the song to yourself? You mean in sign language?
    Ha ha I’m just being a wise guy, glad you feel better.

  47. jujube says:

    I have a futon and there are no cushions to look under. I must have cushions!!!! If I arrange them just right, maybe I’ll find a little floofy marmie, too.

  48. pookie says:

    Cath, I’ve had the Soft Kitty song in my head all day! It started in the shower. Now it’s back – not that I mind. :-)

  49. nismo says:

    I want to stick my nose in that warm axis of snorgling.

  50. kathyp says:

    @Alice 33 – our cat Tigger gave birth to a single kitten in her whole career. Tigger was a long-furred marmie, and the kitten was beige. We named him Yoda because of the way his ears stuck out sideways. Cutest kitten ever. Both now long gone, alas!

  51. tammy. says:

    i just feel asleep at my desk while looking at this picture, wishing that this little kitty was cuddled in my arms.

  52. Decca says:

    Am I the only one who looks like this kitten is getting ready to play the flute? Something about the position of the paws, I think. Well, that and no sleep.

  53. Snowpea says:

    I admit I cannot stop looking at this tie-nee délicieuse morselle — I think I clicked over to Teh Qte at least 3x today just to quietly ‘awwwwwnnn’ over her.

    Awwwwwnnn

  54. O No He/She/It DI-unt!!!! says:

    @ kathyp:

    I send warm, snuggly karma to you and both kittayns from your memoires!!
    Thoroughly enjoyed visualizing “you an’ em”!!!! Thx for providing that
    set of Kodak moments!!!

    ALSO @ Editorz:

    Kin a gal, get a “Sleppy” Tag, over up in hyah????
    “Pweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze”????????

  55. 260Oakley says:

    @Decca
    If the kitteh was getting ready to play the pan-flute, we could call him “Zamfur”.

  56. fajita says:

    this needs to be tagged as NSFW. my brain has exploded from the cuteness and i am unable to focus now.

    is there somewhere else we could see more pictures of this kitty?

  57. Gigi says:

    @ skippymom
    Obviously I’m not all the way over my cold yet LOL!!

  58. Theresa says:

    What a find!
    (Antiques Road Show Appraiser Voice) As you probably know, condition is everything in these cases, and this one has it all. Pink nose, creamsicle flooff, wild whiskers, airplane ears, PLUS that cheesy kitty smile. Congratulations, you have a national treasure.

  59. Mesmerizing Magical Marmy Mystique!

  60. Meaghan says:

    Why hasn’t anyone remarked yet on that teeny little neck which you could probably encircle with your thumb and index finger?

  61. jen says:

    i dont know whether to barf a rainbow, pass out, scream, or just plain die from the cuteness that is just OFF THE SCALE!!!! AAAAA!!!

  62. JerilynS says:

    Darn, all I ever find inside my couch is stale Froot Loops and paper clips. Sigh.

  63. DillPig says:

    Oh! Oh! That kitteh got smothered in the sofa – she needs mouth-to-muzzlepuff resuscitation! Can I do eet? *Shifty eyes*

  64. chanpon says:

    Found the kitteh, but still can’t find the remote..

  65. caroline says:

    I’d rather have this than loose change any day! :)

  66. Brenda says:

    Ooooh! I wanna find one of those in my couch! :)

  67. KatieZ says:

    Floofy fur, check. Contended “so comfurbles” look, check. One ear smooshed behind head, check. Paws together, check.

    Yep, everything seems to be here.

  68. Mary (the first) says:

    OMG that looks just delicious. But in concordance with Cath21, I have to go watch TV for awhile now. I’ll think about this scrumptious looking little tidbit. **sigh**

  69. kibblenibble says:

    Precious. ♥

  70. Brenna says:

    I think I got an allergic reaction just thinking about snorgling that now O_o

    (and it was totally worth it xD)

  71. kenny_g says:

    Yoda heid!

  72. steph says:

    Kudos to the lady singing Sheldon’s lullaby. xD

  73. Teresa says:

    :D AWW :D I so want to snorgle that little kitty :D

  74. Allie says:

    Wait, you mean we’re not the only people who find kittens in couches?!?

    A few months back one of our dogs, play chased, a small gray rather annoyed ball of fluff into our couch. We found her the next day, after going why is the dog guarding the couch. After carefully dissembling the sleeper sofa, my husband put on the glove of discovery and pulled out an angry little ball of gray and orange fluff.

    He named her, Shii, and dotes on the kitten as if she’s the only kitten he’s ever seen. Shii, is still a touch cookie but as to put up with her three adopted brothers, previously found in our storage shed, Ichi and Ni, a marmie and black and white harlequin; and crossing the street, San, a big black, Siamese built kitten. The boys are now a year old, Shii is a healthy, active, ball of fluff and has taught said dog just who is the boss.

    Good luck with Julie.

  75. Toto says:

    lol Allie, you named your cats One Two Three and Four! Too funny!

  76. Hon Glad says:

    No loose change but Julie is worth a price above rubies.

  77. Katy says:

    Want to wear it as a scarf. Ridiculously cute. LOVE THA KITTAYS!

  78. Lizzy says:

    The bent/tucked ear is KEEEEELINGK ME!

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

    ….in re the Headline fur this pic:

    One is hopeful, that we *will NOT* find CO migrating from
    “Hey! Look what I found…..” to the sssoooooo dangerous

    “Hey guys!!! Watch this!!!!”

    For further obfuscation (and no that isn’t a vulgar-meaning word!! :) )
    please refer to Click & Clack,
    Car Talk, NPR Radio …

    (there’s probably a reference to this Theory,
    on their website …)

    cath21:

    penny. penny. penny.

  81. Kar says:

    Allie, sleeper sofas and cats are dangerous combination. My old cat hid in my poor brothers when we were moving. When he couldn’t find the cat he searched at night in the three feet snow for hours before calling us.

    Of course my father went over to said sofa, pulled off the cushions and she popped out to greet him. My brother was ready to throw her in a snow drift.

    Good luck with your kitten!

  82. Valerie says:

    Love the kitten…I think its mine I was sitting there! :D

  83. Cath21 says:

    @wuyizidi
    Totally Zazzles!

    @Wendy
    Not so sure he would approve as Soft Kitty is only to be sung when one is sick and this kitty is not sick…

    @cubbybutt
    You forgot the knock knock knock 3 times with the Penny Penny Penny!

    I’m sorry to all of you who are now stuck with this BEAUTIFUL song!

  84. Iris says:

    I want to stick my nose in Julie’s warm, fuzzy Axis of Snorgling…PRONTO.

  85. Wolfie says:

    Official coroner’s ruling: Death By Coot.

  86. Noelegy says:

    I’m not as adept with the puns as is 260Oakley, but I would humbly submit that a flute-playing kitten should be called Ian Andfurson.

    (For those unfamiliar with Jethro Tull, lead singer/flutist Ian Anderson is terribly fond of kitties)

  87. Noelegy says:

    Oh! I have a fluffy kitty story for you! My husband and I are cat-sitting for his younger brother, who has a juvenile cat named Nighthawk. I think this was Little Brother’s attempt at finding a bad (tough) name for his kitty, but Nighthawk looks like anything but tough. He’s about 9-12 months, I think, not fixed yet (I must remember to sternly advise Little Brother to do so) and SO FLUFFY! He’s longhaired, light gray tabby with white tummy and socks. And he’s completely adorable and lovable.

    He’s gradually getting used to our cats and in fact recently got caught pester/playing with Murphy, my big black cat. Murphy verbally chastised Nighthawk (or Nightie, as I call him) a couple of times, but didn’t hiss or leave the room. But mostly he’s stayed upstairs, where he has a whole room to retreat to if he feels threatened.

    But last night, as I was watching “CSI,” Nightie came downstairs, braved the two big dogs (who are creampuffs) in the living room, and came and got up on the couch with me! And proceeded to get in my lap and rub his noggin on my chin and purr, purr, purr.

    My husband said, “I hope you aren’t getting too attached to him…” Too late.

  88. ceejoe says:

    /sing song voice/ watch out Noelegy…
    that’s how i ended up with 11 mostly “former foster cats” that ended up deciding to stay with me. :)

  89. Redscylla says:

    I hope no one feeds him after midnight…

  90. kris says:

    i sing ‘soft kitty’ to myself when i need comforts.

    is ok to do.

  91. Rhea says:

    Gosh, they’re cute when they’re asleep… which helps when they’re awake and eating your shoelaces and sticking their claws in the electric socket and climbing the drapes and darting between your feet and shredding the new magazine and generally being kittens. And I’m sure we wouldn’t have them any other way, but sometimes it’s a relief when they grow up a little….
    Well, that’s what our little orange and white child did– Captain Entropy, Agent of Chaos.
    Back to looking at cute kitten.

    • wannadance says:

      capt. of entropy: what better describes…etc etc…

      my own feeeeeeeling: few things are as ASLEEP as a sleeping cat…almost an irreversible state…and if you must pick them up in that state, they look/feel like a slurry…look it up, can’t efficiently define

  92. jen says:

    i keep coming back to look at this darling little kitten.

    i have never seen such an anerable axis of snorglingk before.

  93. wannadance says:

    all right, nomtom, time to make THE PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT of our upcoming nuptials and not a moment too soon. lmy sonogram indicates a bebbeh looks just exactly like this one…
    finally, my dreams come truel…all that and a dime bag too..SNORK…

    dave’s not here,
    yer true luv, dancer

  94. mplsdeb says:

    I want kitty so bad. :(

  95. Kristabelle says:

    I come back to the comments after being smothered with work for almost 2 months and what’s the first thing I read? A BBT reference in the comments! WOOOOT! Bazinga!
    Of course, I will be singing “Soft Kitty” for the rest of the day now…not that I mind! :)

  96. browngrl says:

    at the risk of developing severe ear worm : what is the “soft kitty” song?

  97. Lisa says:

    Wait a minute. I’ve been looking everywhere for the itty bitty kitty I had in my pocket and then found a hole in the pocket. Clearly it’s my kitteh. Gimme!!!!!!!!!!

  98. wannadance says:

  103. warrior rabbit says:

    BBT=Big Bang Theory. ‘Soft kitty’ lyrics can be found upthread, near the top.

  104. KittyKrazy says:

    Ayeeeh… I cannot say this is the cutest kitty in the world, but maybe I’m wrong. I just heart random cuties. {Means kitties} IT is one of the cutest ones EVER!

    I’mma strike a replying song:
    Cloudy white fur,
    With gold-like amazing streaks,
    Whenever I see your pic
    It makes me think
    You’re cute and fluffy
    So warm and adorable
    Words cannot say it
    So from my chair I will fall.
    (Not literally, please.)

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

    @ warrior rabbit:

    ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh
    re BBT

    (I do recognize the show, now that you’ve clarified!!! Thx)

  106. Holly says:

    I’ve got three of these little ginger babies right now..fostering them because the shelter is too full and somehow dumped them and their mom off (mom is now back at shelter alone :( . All boys, 6 weeks old, crazy wrestling matches with nom-nom nip action followed by 20 minute power naps, followed by zipping from room to room. Will miss them terribly when they have to go.

  107. Kristabelle says:

    Soft Kitty – the first time Penny had to sing it:

  108. Patrick says:

    I looked under my sofa cushions and all I found was a roach.
    I smoked it anyway.
