Getting taxes done right is harder than ever. Especially when your method is to run off to Mexico.
Figaro is gonna need an extension, Karen.
[ex-post factoid: karen says figaro actually high-tailed it all the way to brazil, not mexico. either one sounds like a great place for a cat shelter! don't return too soon!]
So where’s the margarita? It can’t be Mexico without a margarita!
Margarita must be holding the camera..
MOLOLOL !!!
Form 1040Zzzzzzzzzzz
(P.S. I too find mariachi bands taxing!)
heh heh.
Well done, well done
2600 will have her barre set a bit higher, for this one now
OMG is that where that expression comes from? Set the barre (not bar) higher?
I wonder what was there first, the kitten or the umbrella?
That’s too deep for me, Kar
Come to me, Figaro, I’ll give you asylum in the UK.
*snerk*
“The EGG, of course!”
GAH. The Egg was meant to be my answer, to Kar, not to fall below bmc’s item …so much for a punchline/ timing.
I got it straight away, ONO. *Claps*
if the umbrella’s on the sidewalk, and no one’s there to feel the shade, is the cat still asleep?
First came the Sun Beam…
Second came Figaro…
And then came Karen with the umbrella to protect the pink nose and toe beans.
Umbrella has a second use, protect Figaro from spilled margarita’s and volcanic blenders operated by intoxicated vacationers.
TOE BEANS! I LOVE IT! <3 I have my kittens paws tattooed on me. I am now going to call them toe beans now.
I thought everybody did!
That was my thought also, “did the kitteh find the shade.. or did some nice human set up the umbrella over the sleeping kitteh?”
Hmm. My “reply” also did not go where it was supposed to. I was responding to Kar’s original comment. Oh well.
It’s in the right place. Each reply is indented a little from the post to which you’re replying. And in WP, it goes below all other people who have also replied to that post.
ALSO: I hope Figaro used a legitimate passport to fly to Mexico….
Documentation is everything these days, at the airports!!!
Did Figaro go for the pat-down or the full body scan, I wonder?
He went for the cat scan, I’m guessing.
D’oh!
*snerk snerk*
W#ell its holiday in DC so he’s one lucky kitty.
Tax shelter
…for those times when IRS stands for: I‘m Really Sleepy.
*Quiet commentator’s voice*
“It is all tension here, folks. I can hardly raise my voice above a whisper, for fear of breaking the concentration of these two masters (or in 260O’s case, mistress, and I’m not sure about dmaufer) of kitty- punning.
Join me later to see whether the bar has been set even higher. In the meantime, this is your Monstercat commentator, signing out.”
I’d try to sneak under the bar, but that would leave me in limbo.
hah! I just made some weird snort/chuckle/chortle noise at that one.
I find this to be a good tension breaker:
I <3 Michigan J. Frog! (I think my sister uses him as the ring-tone for my b-i-l.)
That would make a great ringtone! I’m using the Pink Panther theme right now, but sometimes it’s hard to hear.
The top of his head is doing his tan-40.
Poor kitty, at least the tax man left him his umbrealla.
Darn dyslexia
I don’t know why Cute Overload has said Figaro has run off to Mexico… that has nothing to do with his country being sunny and shiny all year long….
PS: Figaro is Brazilian, not Mexican. Check out a world map next time, will ya?
Karen (Figaro’s photographer)
Hi Karen! Thanks for dropping in. We love to hear from the owners or photogs.
I should clarify here, I had no idea of the location of this photo – I just made it up. There’s no way I would have known the photo was in Brazil – but, now that we know, it is kind of neat that I wasn’t too far off actually.
I almost went with Italy, and a strolling accordian player.
PS Maps are in my daily life at work and at home. Take it easy, “will ya”.
i’m with you, pyrit. sheesh!
No problem pyrit! I thought the moderator would read the sub-mee-shon’s email… I guess not! There’s no arguing on saying Figaro is a true bon vivant!
Figaro is also tres handsome! I do love the orange & white boys!
si, un gato guapo!
Perhaps he is related to El Guapo!

Karen, CO woiks in veddy misteeddeeus vays.
Lemme asplain …
Ah no there is too moich.
Maybe you can sum up then?
Never get involved in a land war in Asia.
(laughs maniacally, stops, keels over dead)
Never go against a Sicilian when DEATH is on the line!
[Dang, everybody beat me to it!]
Inconceivable.
newp, the moderator sees ‘em when everyone else does. unless they’re naughty. then i get to look at them a little longer.
Not sure why Brazil is not far off from Mexico considering they are on two different continents and don’t even speak the same language. Portuguese is not that different from Spanish and I can understand it sometimes but then my Spanish is not so good either.
Achei meio grosseiro esse seu comentário, Karen…
If there was a Cute Tax, Meg would owe the IRS a beeelion dollars.
ah, the bossman giveth, and the taxman taketh away…
Feeeeeeeeeeeeeegaro! FigaroFigaroFigaro Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeegaro!
Seeing as it’s tax time, can you lend me a tenor? They’ve increased my tax bass.
(bowing repeatedly)
We’re not worthy!
We’re not worthy!
Oh agreed – 260O will have to toss her head and hold her hand out to be kissed, like Alice Cooper did on Wayne’s World 2. Still my fave evah cameo appearance and I’m so jealous of Mike Myers and Dana Cavey.
I’m a bit short, but ask mister Baritone. He’s in the study watching The Sopranos and playing with his Vibrato
No, the Baritone is with me. The Baritone is always with me.
*Tries to steal baritone from Theresa*
*Sits on Baritone.*
Theresa wins…. until next time….
It looks as if she has a shady deal going, in tax avoidance.
Kinda the reverse of what you usually see…most cats seek out the sunny spot in the shady area, not the other way around!
If you really want to know where is the most comfortable space to lie down for a snooze, follow a cat. The cat will know where, if it is hot, where the temperature will be coolest, or conversely, if it is cold, where the temperature will be warmest. Invariably. Indubitably. Incontrovertibly.
Move over, Figaro – I’m sure we can both fit under this umbrella!
Anybody else hearing the song “You can stand under my umbrella…” in their heads?
C’est un chat tres beau!
Can I share the umbrella? Can I also come to Brazil with you, kitty?
Does anyone else just want to tuck his ears in?
I was under the impression that the kitty wanted to remain cool, but wanted warmer ears, so he positioned himself like that!
Maybe kitty wanted a little mo’ heato?
LOL had to say that to myself to grasp! LOL
Ha! Me too. (had to say it to myself, that is.)
Dang! I didn’t even know I was missing something until you pointed it out.
Inspiring, pyrit! Truly inspiring! Kinda funny, too!
AAAAAAaaaaaaAAAAAAaaaaaaAAAAAAAaaaa!
Bus stop, tax day, kitty’s there, I say, “please share my umbrella”
Yay! I love that song!
(and now it’s going to be stuck in my head all weekend)
Hey, where did the little sneaky peeker go?
