Worse Than Polyester

He had seen some interior design catastrophes, but this was too much to take. A rattan kitty litter box? Clawse felt as though he had to put on a flowered muumuu just to do his business.

How long til he comes up for air, Anna T.

    This kitten looks as if he’s praying, but for what?

  3. Itsme says:

    He looks so sleepy! Made me yawn…. Sleepy and disgusted that someone put a flash in his face, poor ting!

    Is it me? or is this picture just not clear, I have noticed that lately some
    do not come out clear photo more like art?! ok someone with a
    brain splain it to me, please? pretty, pretty please.

    • Calliope says:

      I think it’s just that some photos on CO are better quality images than others. This one is a little grainy, and taken in a dark room with flash.

      But, all I care about are the very cute little white socks :)

    Look at those scrunched-up FINGAIRES! I am addicted to kitty fingers. I am always threatening to eat my own cats’ fingers and toes.

    • Gigi says:

      You would love my T-Two then, he is a big white polydactyl cat and has an opposable thumb on both his front pawsies. He can make a fist and hold my finger just like a baby when I give him cuddles!

      • skippymom says:

        That sounds great! I hope you and kitties (five?) are well and having good memories of Isis.

        • Gigi says:

          Yes five now, the younger ones are doing fine but Mighty Max the last remaining one of the same litter as Isis and Bootsy has just been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and we’ve started treatment with medication yesterday. The vet says it is usually very treatable so we’re not too worried.

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

            O Gigi– sorry about medical yuckkiness. :(

            But yay for attending to them, at the Vets to help things go better for them.

            My cat Bentley developed hyperthyroidism and had to go on medication. I’d have to say that the treatment was successful, as he lived to be almost 23 years old. So don’t be worried – Bootsy will get along just fine, once you master the art of administering pills (my brother, filling in for us while we were on vacation, told us that at bedtime he found the pill in his shirt pocket. Nice aim, Bentley!)

      • Fluffy says:

        Did you say opposable thumbs?! World dominion is indeed near for our feline overlords.

      • Wend says:

        melting in a puddle here at the mere thought of having a kitty hold on to me that way…. how do you ever get anything done!!!??!

    Kitty headdesk!

    “…ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred! Ready or not, here I come!”

    *Waves to kitty and makes loads of noise so she’ll find me in my not-so-hard-to-find Hide and Seek spot*

    • Jimbeaux says:

      See, that’s what I figured was goin’ on! Hide and seek! And I’d so let the little guy find me- there would be ensuing snuggles!

  8. Noelegy says:

    Faceplant! My Philo does this all the time onto a wooden bookshelf. It can’t be comfortable, and yet he does it again and again.

  9. Kar says:

    So TRHOFBH is the worst one yet? Can’t say that I’ve seen it. Seen the ads and all I could think was, “is that crazy botox lady the same little girl from Escape from Witch Mountain and Hello Larry? She always seemed so coherent on the Witch Mountain reunions.

  10. Ninjin says:

    “Earsies McFurries” killed me! :D

  11. victoreia says:

    Oh, kitty! I’m soooo with you on the “Real Housewives”! (Yeah, they’re so ‘real’. [snort])

  12. Noelegy says:

    Save the white paws, this kitteh is the same color as our new kitten! We have named her Maggie–I think I posted about that here after my hubby deigned “Smokey” not a girl’s name–and she is putting on weight, getting stronger and more coordinated every day, and is in constant play mode. And my hubby
    “volunteered” us both to go stay the night and babysit our twin nieces, so instead of going home tonight and spoiling my Maggie rotten, I have to leave her behind and…well, go deal with a couple of two-year-olds who are discovering the terrible twos.

  13. Gracie's Mom says:

    So adorables!

  14. CatViccer says:

    Clawse is perfecto!

    offensive hovertext

  16. LauraH says:

    Love the Glee reference in the hovertext

  17. Snoo says:

    Grey with white feetses!!! We call ‘em Grey Flannel Suit cats, slightly less formal than Tuxedo. I once had one named Maggie too, short for Magnolia Q. Fartblossom. (She was a southern belle; I swear she said “Mee-Yaaai-Yo”.)

  18. 260Oakley says:

    Oh dear, I believe this kitten is about to take part in some horrible fraternity initiation ceremony: “Assume the pawsition!”

    OK, I’ll admit it, I had to look for Muumuu in the Dictionary. Note I didnt say look up M..m.., I know what you lot are like :)

    There’s a new Simon’s Cat!

  22. kris says:

    simon’s cat – short & funnny!

  23. Queen of Dork says:

    “Rattan kitty litter box” reminds me of the cat carrier my parents bought for my cat Albert when I was a little girl. It was made of wicker and my dad found a piece of green, shag carpet (this WAS the ’70s) to line the bottom. :)

    • Gigi says:

      Groovy :-)

    • Theresa says:

      One of my cats would have dismantled that in five minutes.

    • Theresa says:

      PS: “Albert”! How sweet!

      • Queen of Dork says:

        Albert was much too lazy and contented to try to claw his carry cage to death. No. He just sat inside of it like a prince proclaiming and knighting and declarating and denouncing of things. His full name was: Fat Albertino Bullwinkle Turner (the Third) and Everlasting Majesty. But we just mostly referred to him as Albert or Bubba.

        • Hon Glad says:

          Queenie -The convoluted length of Albert’s full name, reminds me of my cat.
          The Honourable Gladys Amelia Anstruther. DFC and bar
          I’ve heard you have to be the daughter of a Baronet to be an
          Honourable.

          • Queen of Dork says:

            That’s a fabulous name for your cat, Hon Glad! I think perhaps humans have to be daughters/sons of this and that to have titles but I think cats just say, “This is my freakin’ title, mo’fo.” and that’s that.

    Best….hovertext…..EVER!

    God bless mommy and Daddy and sister sue and brother stripe A -Men

  26. Paunchie says:
