Sounds like these ladies have finally found a way to make Foosball more entertaining: Let the kitten play it instead.
BLEEEEEEEEEN!
THPPPPPPPPPPPP
@ Theo: good to know, that your policies remain consistent
The woild is in good hands with Teho in charge.
Erm, also, cute kitteh!
oh my gosh – the markings on this kitteh … just beooootiful
Apart from this video being sickeningly cute, yes, she has got the most beautiful markings! All white on the bottom with a dash of tabby!
Okay, those people are having way too much fun. I think more than a cute kitteh is involved.
The OTHER way to make Foosball entertaining.
*snort* Exactly what I thought. Working in a restaurant, nothing is more rowdy then a bunch of ladies out on the town of a certain age
And we get college students!
AKA “Woo-girls.” Or “Woo-wimmen.”
hen party!
“cawfee klatsch”
I thought I heard a baby cooing/babbling too. So I don’t think these ladies are out on the town!
Kitty is just warming up for the big leagues. The next step – air hockey!!
Isn’t that like every cat’s fantasy? They should market those as deluxe cat toys!
Great, now I will have to go out and buy a fooseball table for my kittehs…..
[groan] But where will I put it?!?!?
If you got rid of the tub and the toilet, you could put it in the bathroom. Kittehs don’t need either of those appliances, after all!
True. And they always give me a puzzled look, like “What are you doing with that?”
*delighted snerk*
Girls certainly know how to have proper fun
yay! now I know how to play foosball. I need to obtain a kitten first….
Looks as though you’re having fun developing your strategic plan
yup! though I think Foosball machine might be pricey. and I wonder if kitten come pretrained for the league or do I need to pay for lessons…
1. What a precious ketzeleh! I love the stripey spots!
2. Wonderful powers of concentration, to play so well with all the fan noise.
Theresa, here goes with a *deep, philosophical* (cough, sputter) qwershtyun.
(ahem)
(ahem)
Is a “ketzeleh” an Orthodox Jewish-observing feline quadruped domesticus???
*hides around the corner of the nearest bldg, juuuuussst out of sight*
“Is a “ketzeleh” an Orthodox Jewish-observing feline quadruped domesticus???”
LOL. I was thinking the same. Or she might just have made that word up! Whichever, it should be considered for inclusion in the CO glossary.
(German for kitty is “Kätzchen” btw)
My cats play a similar game, it’s called “Bat everything off the table” including my rather expensive watch. The watch is shock proof, I’m not sure I am.
My teeny tiny Mimi was a great batter-offer. She used to knock everything off everything to wake me up in the morning, and she used to do it recreationally, too. She would push [item] to the edge of the surface, give it one more push, and watch it go over and hit the ground. If [item] was small enough, she would use her paws; if it was kind of big, she would get behind it and push with her head.
Wow, that’s dedication to your craft. My little boy loves to knock things off of things, but if it’s too heavy for his dainty paws, he lets it alone. Lazy bum…
you forgot to mention the staring at it for a couple minutes after said Item hits the ground… with that OMG how did that get down there look with the slow look over at you as if to say.. some one pushed that thing on the floor. NOT ME!
Mimi used to have the most definite “!” exclamation mark that appeared over her heard, every time she did this.
And I bet she was a tabby, so she had that “M” (for Mischief and/or Mayhem) *on* her forehead.
@ kittyadventures: you know a few felines, evidently.
Your description of their innocent look is
Get that kitteh a jersey, Team Kitten!
Get ME one of those jerseys!
Cute and funny both. I DARE someone to nuff this.
Okay, I’ll go ahead and try:
Those drunken women are SO cruel, making that kitty pick its way around those foosball bars like that! Can’t anyone see that he’s terrified? Oh, and the falling over at 0:25? SO sad!!! He lost his balance and they just laughed!!! =(
Does that work? I felt a bit silly.
Oh no, this is terrible! What if kitty gets its leg tangled and gets hurt? These people are mistreating the poor little kitty! Kitty is NOT having fun, this should be stopped!
How’s that?
You forgot to mention if they turn the handles they could whack the kitteh on the head!! And hurt her!!
And also it’s so obvious when a kitty is being forced to play, against its will.
@ skippymom: I object, to your objections!!!
Wow, I’m *still* hanging out in the mod lounge. And I’m all out of drink coupons. =(
That is one big, expensive cat toy!
He Shoots….
He scores…
Catnip All Round!!!!!
I gave my brother’s cat (who thinks she’s a dog) catnip for Christmas. Apparently there’s been no reaction from the cat. Has she spent too long with dogs?
I would immediately schedule an urgent appt with Dr. Drew from VH1.
I bought my two tuxes a catnip plant, put it on the ground and waited for the salivating and paroxysms of joy. The result…nada, they were just not interested.
Sadly, not all cats respond to catnip. There’s some small percentage (I forget the number) who just don’t have that particular gene or whatever.
IT is 10 Percent who do not care for it… we had one cat who could care less.. his name was tuffy.
I love how the ladies wanted the kitteh to go for the other goal……obvy they haven’t learned that kittehs are the bosses!
kittons and foosball are in opposite tailios of the kilofun-per-kilogram histogram
I need a bigger house, so I can install one of these tables! My three youngsters would go nuts for it.
Skippy, of course, is far too dignified to play games–although on Christmas Day he suddenly began acting completely out of character, as though he’d turned into a wacky teenager, just for the day.
Reminds me of a post- Xmas with the sweet departed Mimi and Stinky– after going to bed Xmas night, heard all kinds of crashing and ripping and rustling, etc. downstairs– turned on the light and saw the two cats frozen stiff in the midst of piles of ripped paper everywhere, staring back at me with laser-eyes and perfect I DINT DO NOTHIN expressions.
ping pong balls are the greatest cat toy ever!
also from halloween, rubber eyeballs, you can get
your claws into those.
Oooh, rubber eyeballs! Dee-licious!
Man, now I need a ping-pong table! Eddy has been ordered by our doctor to lose three pounds, and this would be just the thing.
skippymom — Did you suggest *to the vet* that HE/SHE instruct Eddy directly, to begin a weight-loss program????
Skippymom, my vet just told me the same thing about George. I like the idea of ping-pong aerobics, too! Much more fun than making a kitty diet.
@ skippymom & kibblenibble:
sounds, as though two veterinarians are conspiring a malevolent plot,
against you two and Eddy and George.
Have you contacted the Feline Bureau of Investigation yet????
That cat is one seriously hardcore addict on ping-pong. Love the way he leaps after the ball sailing onto the floor.
I’d have let Tico have the ball way back in the sequence.
i want this toy for my cats.
lol!
“No no, wrong way”
Giggle. “I am the cat who plays Foosball by himself, and all directions are alike to me”
Now that is the cat toy I need! That one wouldn’t end up under the couch!
A most astute and logical pernt.
Love her markings!
This seems like a good time to post another apparently-not-good-enough submission that I sent in a while ago: The laser kitties mural (in SF).

That was from here (http://aggressivepanhandler.com/2010/11/17/art-in-progress-adorable-new-mural-going-up-at-the-harding-theater/), with more pics at Flickr here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/aggressivepanhandler/5186058330/in/set-72157625413507302/).
Seriously, what do you have to do to get pictures to show up?! I see everyone keeps asking, but no one’s gotten an answer yet…
If I ever become the owner of a football club, I’ll design a uniform just like kitteh’s coat – white, with black and grey stripes.
Don’t you all know that kitteh foosball is a time honored method of making new years predictions! Whoever receives the most feline-batted goals will have a prosperous new year. Hence the one saying “other way, other way!”
I love this! So much fun! And such a great kitten. I love her markings.
SO charming to watch this group indulge a possibly “left-pawed” kitten!
Is a “ketzeleh” an Orthodox Jewish-observing feline quadruped domesticus???
This may be so – not read all the comments yet – but I have nicknames for all my friends I believe ketzeleh can be seen to mean “darlin lil Kitty” a friend called Anthony is stuck with “Toneleh” – but he is Jewish. My Friend in Iceland is stuck with something complicatedly German – Katzelleinchen – she posts on my group as Kat.
We got this New Yeat Coming no ?? well before I go I wish all Cute Overloaders a lovely Cuterrifical New Year ((((((Group hugs ))))))
I was nanny to a baby girl [now a HS senior, good grief] named Mary Ellen who was MUCH too small for such a big name, so she became my “Meme” [pronounced "Mimi" or, when I was feeling lazy, "Meem"] … but, good Lutheran that I am, I can also be a good JewishMama too, so occasionally she was [and still is] my “Memeleh.” No idea where that came from, as her parents were attending a Methodist church at the time, except that every now and then my own parents — raised Methodist, converted to Lutheranism — would call us kids “bubeleh” for whatever reason.
I think Yiddishisms are probably part of human DNA.
Love that kitteh’s spots have stripes, does that make them spopes or strites?
But really, what CAN’T be made more fun by the addition of a kitty?
