    On second thought, let’s not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.

  2. Switchum says:

    I love it. Cats are awesome.

  3. Beth says:

    I love that cat’s name. It seems like it fits too.

    • Katherine says:

      That is an adorable name. Love his digs!

      • Berg says:

        Fetchez la vache!

        Love the video and the kitty’s name. I did, however, want a longer look at Mr. Spotacus. More, please?

          *YAY* for accurate renditions, of nonsensical/
          Outrageous Frawnsche “bits” from MP/ Search/ HG !!!!

  4. Spotacas will re-emerge any minute now & hiss rather pointedly:
    “Hay, you kids: get offa my lawn…….!!!”
    (Well, with the price of real estate being what it is today,
    weez hasta keep up appearances…..!1! ) :roll:

  6. Theresa says:

  7. Hon Glad says:

    I’ve tried to train my cats to do this, but instead they ask salesmen, religions and charities in, make them welcome and use my best china.

    • marthava says:

      LOL

      @ Hon Glad:

      — while I’m only working from circumstantial evidence on this, it would
      appear that possibly the [proverbial] Fox **might** have taken over the
      mgmt of the Hen House, chez vous.

      Jus’ sayin’ ……

      • Hon Glad says:

        ONO – Aint it always the way with cats. The old saying Dogs have owners Cats have staff, comes to mind.

  8. Snerk…. “You Kids get Off my porch!”

    and 260Oakley Hahahah!

  9. hyura says:

  10. Paula says:

    This is actually kinda scary if you just woke up….

  11. Brandi says:

    I LOVE that someone built Spotacus (best cat name ever) his very own castlebox!

    ‘GET OFFA MAH LAWHN’

  12. Louisa says:

    this post may offend some folks from utah…. just sayin’… xDD

    • Shadyman says:

      Oh no you Di’n't.

    • Sharpy says:

      i’m sure NOMTOM was equally poking fun at all cults who go door to door and not calling mormons a cult (before we get an onslaught of mormons waving torches!)

      • spb says:

        Or anyone else that comes up to your doorstep and rings your doorbell… like… the encyclopedia salesman (who’s never heard of the internet), or the vacuum cleaner salesman (who’s never heard of Sears), or the third group of scouts this evening wanting to know if you would like to buy some cookies, or the perfect stranger who says, “Um, I saw your light on so I knew you would be home. My car broke down and could I borrow a little money? I promise, I’ll pay you back.”, or the small munchkins that come arround way past their bedtime and try to sell you some candy and such because they are trying to earn their way to camp, or……….

        Yep, we need Spotacus.

    • Kar says:

      I kind of admire those young missionaries in their white shirts and ties riding around in the summer on bicycles. And in Florida/DC, it gets dang hot & humid! Good for them for putting their money where their mouths are.

      I suspect the folks from Utah are used to some gentle and not so gentle teasing.Heck, everytime they air a BYU game, espn makes some comment about where did they store their bikes.

  13. Gigi (the original one) says:

    Go get’hem Spotacus !!
    I don’t like to admit but sometime I catch myself doing the grumpy old women thing, “Why his he parking in front of my house?” Why doesn’t he park in front of HIS house?” LOL!

  14. Gigi (the original one) says:

    Also I can’t believe nobody said it:

    I’m Spotacus!

  15. Annie says:

    My bunny ugmoe had a house like that! And a similar attitude towards visitors.

  16. Mel says:

    You’re doing ding-dong ditch wrong.. you have to do the ditch part…

  17. jenna says:

    “Spotacus, are you well?”

    – “Dominous, I am myself again.”

  18. Martha in Washington says:

    I wish MY cat could get rid of salesmen like that!! I had to be exceptionally rude to a door-to-door steak salesman (who buys meat from a d-t-d salesman?) just yesterday. Ended up shutting the door in his face.

    My son will love the name Spotacus!

    • skippymom says:

      Uhhh…a guy came to your door and tried to sell you MEAT?!!! I, er, had not ever heard of such a thing. Huh.
      I wonder how many people actually BUY the door-to-door steaks?

  19. jujube says:

    I needs me an attack bunneh! And, I LOVE the name Spotacus.

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

    HOW IS IT POSSIBLE? that nobody has *yet* referenced Killer Rabbits from MP/ Search/ Holy Grail???

    “It’s just a cute lil’ rabbit ….”

    (Cue the Ominous Background Music and
    File Under: “Famous Last Words” …)

    • Martha in Washington says:

      I think it just seemed way too obvious. We are more sophisticated than that around here, you know. :P

    • Theresa says:

      I am HURT, ONHSID, HURT! Look above!

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

        I sit corrected!!! I didn’t recall the line about the rabbit being “dynamite”.

        (*puts Dunce cap on; sits on stool in corner*)

    • Annie says:

      believe me, we used to reference it on a daily basis when we had Ugmoe Bunny.

      When i first met my husband, i told him i had a pet rabbit……who liked to attack people. My husband thought, “oh haha, that’s a quirky and adorable little exaggeration, bunnies are sweet and fluffy.” I was like, “oh no, he’s like that killer rabbit from the monty python movie, srsly.” The first time I brought him to my place, there was this big scary growl and a thump from under the couch. My (future) husband’s eyes were like dinner plates when i dragged this big angry rabbit out from under there to be introduced. Suffice to say they ended up being best friends : )

    Waiting for the sound of kitty cocking a shotgun.

  22. Mudbug says:

    You shouldn’t egg me on like that NOMTOM & Anne ! I have quite a few boxes from X-mas as well as two big rolls of packing tape & I’m NOT afraid to use them !!!
    (insert evil chuckle ! bwahahahahahahha !)

    • Annie says:

      Go for it! Every single box that comes into my house serves a stint as a rabbit / guinea pig fortress at some point. Right now my rabbit has an upturned box decorated to look like an office cubicle.

  23. Ali-baba says:

    Well, poppycock! I guess I’ll have to take my electronic abacus to a hot spot…I can’t see the cat video on my phone. Mulefritters, I say! :-(

    • mamabear says:

      OMG “mulefritters”! Did you make that word up?! It’s hillarious! You sir or madame will have caused me to insert that word into conversation at least 3 tines today!*

      *Did I use enough exclamation points to show my excitement?! Mulefritters! but I’m sooooo sleepy (there’s my first utterence today!). Neeed caffeine, or bed, either one would be fine, thank you.

  24. Ali-baba says:

    It was the mulefritters that put me in the mod lounge, wasn’t it? That’s okay, the mojitos are especially hood tonight! ;-)

  25. Ali-baba says:

    Er, good I mean! You’d think I’d had too many or something!

  26. Ashton & Alex W says:

    Well, we’ve all been quite happy to see our Spotacas made it to cuteoverload! He seems less impressed. ;-)

  27. mamabear says:

    Reminds me of my grandparents cuckoo clock. As a child, I remember sitting on their bed and staaaaring…and waaaaiting near the appointed times to see the little bird do his thing. Not to mention the cute little people do their little spin-y dance.

    Also, reminds me of that whack-a-gator game at arcades.
