    “Redonkulovich”! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  2. J. says:

    And in other cute kitten news, Apple unveils the iPounce, an iPad for kittehs. You can see a demonstration of this wonderful new gadget/technology here.

  3. Nikki says:

    Ivan “Eyebrows” Redonkulovich–oh NOMTOM, how I do love you! ha.

    Undaunted by his inability to execute the clean and jerk, little Ivan enters himself in the gymnastics semifinals on the parallel bar…

  4. Theresa says:

    PS: Kitteh is all “Why I’ll moidalize you!”

  5. crackjob says:

    HAAAAAAAAAAAA!

    What is the *deal* with kittens?

  6. Susan says:

    Love the nickname “eyebrows.” That kitteh does have some quite ridonkulous browz.

  7. Berg says:

    That is adorable! Love the story line, and I especially love the forward roll action at about the 57 second mark.

  8. S says:

    Gotta love kittens… love the occasional “oh! my tail!” distractions

    BIG cats playing with pumpkins, it’s like they all turn into kittens :)
    (sorry, I have no idea how to submit this otherwise)

  9. Beth covered in cat hair says:

    Ivan looks like a Turkish Van.
    I love it when he does that roll over the bar…goofy kitty!

  10. skippymom says:

    Love how around 0:35 he steps away from the dumbbell and does a couple of spins, as though that will somehow rev up his strength, then goes back and tries some more.

  11. TheSwede says:

    This reminds me of the japanese show: Cat Weightlifting

  12. 260Oakley says:

    Ivan is obviously abusing hair-roids.

  13. ceejoe says:

    S – love the big cats/pumpkins video. Thanks for linking it!
    So funny to see the same mannerisms that my little kittehs exhibit.

  14. Copperbat says:

    ehn.

  15. Bellablue says:

    >>>looks over at the judges table…holds bref

    9.8 7.6
    and 10 (no one says anything cause that judge has the same eye brows as Groucho Marx)
    :-)

  16. metsakins says:

    pretty much looks like my trips to the gym, only mine not so cute.

  17. Alice says:

    OMG that cat weightlifting video is just about the strangest and most awesome thing I have ever seen. Thanks TheSwede!!

  18. LaurenW says:

    “Redonkulovich”?!! Ha!

  19. dyuane says:

    lol. I wish the dumbbell would have finished him off. good one..

  20. skippymom says:

    My cat Eddy is really dumb, and not as cute as Ivan…wait, did I just say that? Naughty mommy (slaps self). I think I may get him a dumbbell and see what he does with it.

  21. Holly says:

    lol i love the “GASP…..TAIL!!!” distractions….awww kittens they are adorafreakinbul

  22. Hon Glad says:

    He’s licking his paws to get a grip, he looks to see if the plates are fully tightened, now he seems to be adopting a unorthodox grip,he turns circles to syche himself up and… no he cant quite make it I’m sorry but no red lights showing for him. One can’t help thinking this erratic behaviour is due to doping.

  23. Theresa says:

    @Hon Glad, or to being a kitten. :mrgreen:

  24. skippymom says:

    @Hon Glad, giggle, giggle.
    You are definitely on my short list of CO people I would love to meet some day.
    By the way, how was–where was it you went, Crete?

  31. Teya says:

    You can practically hear the “Ehn”!! So cute!!

  32. Kara says:

    Redonkulovich needs more training methinks. Stay off those steroids, kitteh!

  33. Kathy says:

    Only a kitten would find dumbbells so enticing. *Sigh* Miss the kitten stage. I’m glad I have the occasional fix on CO.

  34. Jim says:

    Lift with your legs, kitty!!

  35. MamaLana says:

    Ooooooh, big cats, little cats, pumpkins, weight lifting, oooooooh ahhhhhhhh. And catnip! Thank you!!

  37. Melissa says:

    Clean and jerk? Well, he’s got the “clean” part down.

    And Ivan is he perfect name for a kitteh with van markings!
