    Not to be overly complainy, but I do sort of wish there was a way to click through all of these instead of having to click, press Back, click, press Back, ovar and ovarrr. Maybe das jus’ me?

  2. yarnyoga says:

    Kitties are cute. I remain ambivalent about both owling and teapotting …

  3. Mina says:

    So many kitties. Always makes me feel better.

    • Fird Birfle says:

      LOVE. the. spelling. :)

      Signed,
      Wil.yum. Shat.ner.

        I’m so Canadian I’d never thought before that Captain Kirk’s last name could have landed him in ModLounge4everLand. Colour me Maple-Leafy Red!

        • ashagato says:

          oh man does that make me Canadian too? don’t tell anyone, k? ;)

        • wuyizidi says:

          Ah yes, when you spell Shatner’s last name the way he reads every.line.in.the.script, it makes the software think you’re using the first four letters of his last name as a word, a word that is synonym of a certain palindrome that starts and ends with ‘p’, with 2 ‘o’ in the middle (try to figure that one out you moderating software).

    In relation to kitteh perched on the deer head, I am working my way through Lillian Jackson Braun’s “The Cat Who….” series (serious problemo, I can read a book a day). The eponymous cat is Koko, the Siamese, who spends his time when at his human’s log cabin, perching on a moose head.

    Cats can get into such “ouch” positions.

    I approve of owling and teapotting. It appeals to me in a strange way.

  6. Rachael says:

    If only cats could figure out how to relax! :)

  7. dub1 says:

    Pshaw, I was into teapotting *way* before it was kewl (I was four . . . ), but I see the jackel god Anubis beat me to it by millenia.
    My faves: pic#3/kat4 and 11/kat18 catsnracks; the white floofball in 13/20 doing a Garfield; and n+1 cat in 16/20 occupying n-space.

  8. Teresa in St Louis (formerly of KC) says:

    Is that “Kitten Planking” or “Kitten Plonking”?

  9. hello rabbit says:

    Cats aren’t just ahead of the curve, they’re lying on top of it.

  10. earlybird1 says:

    Did you see the kitteh hanging in the hangers?! HOW??!!! My brain can’t feegure it out!

  11. gryt says:

    The waterpipe straddler (orange pic), a.k.a. monorail cat… LULZ. H o w is that comfterbuls? Maybe it’s the hot water pipe… Aaaaah. Never mind then. :)

    Also, want to call people’s attention to the amazeballs toilet and sink combo… Woah! Never seen that befo’.

  12. TrixandSam says:

    Cats are so weird. I loff them, but they’re weird. How could any of these positions possibly be comfortable much less sleepable?

    *…goes off muttering hoping the couch is clear of dogs so comfy napping can commence…*

  13. SheepishKitty says:

    from the top: 1, 6, 9, &11 = WIN!

  14. Fird Birfle says:

    Waiter, I’ll have one of EACH!!! Thank you so much.

  15. kibblenibble says:

    :? <————- Me, confuzzled by the owling and teapotting.
    :-) <—————Me, unquestioningly enjoying the strangeness of the kittehs.

  16. T.U.M. says:

    So many monorial cats; I think I’ll need a transfer, Driver.

  17. silentk says:

    I read that as ‘Plan Kittening’ and that seemed like a good idea- plan your kittening so that the kittens in your day are uniformly spread out, for continual enjoyment.
    All the kittening at once = fun now, sad later.

    • Aquamarine says:

      yeah, i read that too, which of course made me think of Planned Parenthood, which is ironic since of course that’s the LAST thing cats do…..

  18. Emmberrann says:

    During a previous point at a previous post, I dun tol’ you, competitive catnapping ain’t so competitive to the cats, they be past Master Champeens at napping in obvy places and weird places, and posishes, normal and strange (legs up the wall? Srsly kids!). We’re the ones who are flummoxed by what they do, they don’t care, obvy. They think they’re comfy, and they just go on nappin’, never payin’ us no mind. Honk-shu, they says, honk-shu to yu.

  19. Phrannest says:

    It’s Planck’s constant. A quantum of inaction.

  20. ceejoe says:

    Well, CO has educated me again… I can now add planking, owling, and teapotting to my vocabulary…

  21. Phyllis says:

    I wish I had gotten a picture of the raccoon planking on the rail of my deck last week. It was hilarious.

  22. intrepidsilence says:

    When is CO going to start using a decent photo gallery viewer plugin? There are plenty for WordPress. Come on guys, improve the site functionality.

  23. Kallisto says:

    I have never before heard of teapotting or owling.
    I believe, the Wesht of Ireland is missing out…

    • joools in PDX says:

      Sho is the Wesht of Oregon, or maybe it’s jusht me. I’m a teapotter from way back before it was cool (assuming it actually is, now). But only in moments of stress.

  24. Teresa says:

    :lol: The orange tabby in the dresser drawer acts just our dark tortie, Badger, when she gets into a dresser drawer and will just lay there :lol:

  25. mrowbecca says:

    These pictures epitomizes why I love cats. So weird.

  26. dmaufer says:

    Cats do the darnedest things!

  27. Marie says:

    My comment written days ago got lost in the ethers. Huh?

  28. Sharpy says:

    is that for reals?

    • Excuse me Sharpy I did not intend placing my comment before yours – eugh that makes m e look so darned pushy – I checked the Teddy Hilton site – and it’s good but it has some very sad stuff – SOME people need locking up – the way they treat animals – sending my best to all here – hope to hear more from this site

  29. Meg says:

    By popular demand, the “Gallery” treatment was updated to a slideshow treatment, no more laborious clicking!

  30. erin says:

    thought you should know…this same slideshow and a few other things on this site are also on perez hilton’s animal website http://teddyhilton.com/ you should probably look into that and try to get a little credit at least…if he did take them from you and not just coincidentally from the internet.

  31. So many neat and sweet comments – I am living on the other side the pond I love C/O to pieces this is what I look for first in the morning.
    Pot’s on – Coffee Anyone ? Cappuccino – Latte – ?? I have a very fancy pot – does all those and have chocolate cookies to go with coffee – but there is a firm rule – no one without a Kitty as an escort – ever gets past the door.

  32. baby birdie says:

    Uh…what’s planking?

  33. Moi, Actually says:

    Okay, that settles it. Kitties definitely don’t get pins and needles.

  34. beeegirl says:

    ok, elephant in the room…..what is up with the cool toilet sink? where do you find one of these??
