  2. Meaghan says:

    His tiny head! His feet! They look HUGE, almost the size of tiny head! THE CLAWSIES! *faints and spits up cotton candy*

  3. Meaghan says:

    Oh, and I request a ResQte tag.

  4. Cookie says:

    cute kitten but I could have done without the luminous, globular mammaries…

  5. Stephanie says:

    Boobs make the world go ’round…preciousness

    *Looks down at rack. Sees no tiny kittayn. Sighs* :-(

  7. oldtaku says:

    This lady is a saint. I know how needle sharp those tiny kitten claws are.

    • Rhea says:

      Ditto on sainthood for mama cats who put up with those claws on tender areas. Sad about poor mama…. I hope it was quick. We used to let our cats go outside but now we keep them in and safe.

  8. Sara says:

    wonderful boobies and a wonderful kittie. man, life is great.

  9. chanpon says:

    I was so taken with the bebeh kitteh, I didn’t even notice those were racks. Serious. So anerable…awwww.

    • TUM says:

      Me, too! I didn’t notice until I saw the C-n-R tag. Who could possibly see anything but that tineetabbeetineetabbeetineetabbee?!?

  10. Mary (the first) says:

    The markings on the baby are going to grow up into a gorgeous kitteh!! I wonder how did someone know the baby was .. wherever he was found after mama was hurt?

  11. leaves of cat grass says:

    there is not a warmer, safer place for an orphaned kitten to be…

  12. Sorry about your Momma little one but at least you have a soft place to hang…

  13. Marie says:

    Those are boobs?? Wow. I thought they were knees.

    Obviously, that’s not a critcism.

  14. Rhea says:

    Since the kitten has quite striking orange and brown torby (tortoiseshell-tabby) markings, odds are very high that she is a little GIRL.

  15. hirish says:

    Have the tireless CO scientists finally found the ultimate Teho-bait? Teeny tabby tortie (torby) cats’n'racks?

  16. Jane says:

    Big or little (racks) man or woman, the heartbeat and warmth is what comforts the little kitty. Like when they used to say put an old fashioned ticking clock in the bed with a new puppy. Soothing, white noise. Of course, a heartbeat is always better. Oh, and I didn’t realize they were racks either until I read the Cats ‘n’ Racks written below the photo.

    • Jane says:

      What on earth did I write that needs moderating? I need a hot toddie.

      • kimmaroo says:

        Here’s your toddie, Jane, and a slice of blueberry streusel bread. You need to keep your strength up while you’re stuck in the mod lounge.

        • Jane says:

          Thank you. Everyone else was posting the word “boobs” but I get moderated – for what? Hmphh!

  17. Rosewolf says:

    Awwwww….how sweet! So glad this tiny one was rescued. I feel bad for the mama cat but at least she can rest in peace on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge knowing baby is safe and loved.

  18. Shadyman says:

    D’aww, lookit tha little Torbie!

  19. Zeki says:

    That cute tiny muzzle on that big bobblehead! Sigh! Why don’t they stay this size a bit longer?

  20. Marie says:

    Awww. The mama died? I should have read post first. Very, very SAD.

  21. MudBug says:

    Kittens need “momma’s heartbeat” to feel safe , secure & happy.
    Don’t know if this is scientific fact but it sure seems like it should be. I mean you put a hot water bottle & an alarm clock in the box when you bring a new puppy home & put it to bed the first night don’t you ? Do people still do that ? We (our family) always did. Even when the box is next to the bed so if the puppy wakes up you can just put your hand down to reassure it.

  22. Zuzzie says:

    Awwww…. And either that’s a very small kitten, or… ;)

  23. gail says:

    “Thanks for the mammaries”…. :)

    Such a sweet little kitten….

  24. kimmaroo says:

    Kitten is all, “Dees pillows are makin’ me shleepy, soooo shleeeeepy….”

    • Mamabear says:

      The power of boobs compels you! The power of boobs compels you…to go tooo sleeep.

      I’m jealous. I want a bebeh kitteh. I’m also jealous, I want killer cleavage! Mine want to travel out and hide in my armpits. :(

  25. Lucy's Mommeh says:

    Dear sweet little kitteh. Is in a warm spot, can hear a heartbeat, and will be so friendly with peoples, having so much contact from such a young age. I hope she has a happy life & would love to see her when she’s a little older.

  26. Kross10c says:

    there are a lot of cats and boobies videos on youtube. There is even a song.
    I wonder that makes it a meme ?

  27. Carol says:

    Dawwwww adorableness! You can almost feel the tiny soft clawsicles.

  28. snorglepup says:

    If I knew the Lounge was catered I would have popped in more often.
    Warm streucel would be so good with coffee right now.
    Pass the kitties, please.

  29. I would love a kitten with such luxuriant whiskers snuggling in my rack. *looks around hopefully*

    This one hits home today. I found two bebeh squirrelieos on the sidewalk yesterday. One was already gone but the other was still alive. As I approached, he started to cry out and an adult squirrel dashed out from a nearby bush and scrambled up the tree next to me. Poor thing was trying to figure out how to retrieve her little guy. I ran back to my garage, grabbed a bag, shovel and my heavy duty garden gloves and ran back. After putting the one who didn’t make it into the bag, I set that aside, put on my gloves and gently picked up the one still alive. He started crying out again but I gently cupped him and started rubbing him all over as I talked to him and walked him over to the base of the tree. He seemed to respond to the stimulation because he perked up. I set him down and tried to get him to cry out again to let mama squirrel know where he was. I suspected she was watching me so I wasn’t too worried. I walked away and within a minute, I heard the little guy chirp out. When I walked back, mama squirrel was scampering down another tree next to the one I’d placed Junior under. She ran up that original tree and perched on a branch right over my head and just stared at me, fluffing her tail and looking a lot calmer. Junior was nowhere to be seen. I crossed my fingers that he was back safe in his nest.

    • ashagato says:

      awesome story!

    • 6Rabbits says:

      When baby squirrels fall out of the nest (which is the only reason they’re on the ground so young) the mom usually can’t get them back up the tree–too heavy– and the babies don’t know how to climb yet, so this usually ends sadly. Hope that little baby made it!

      P.S. Baby squirrels are nearly impossible to raise. If you find an abandoned squirrel, take it to the nearest wildlife rescue or nature center where it will have a much better chance of survival!

  31. Katharine says:

    I think the Cats ‘n’ Racks category could use a wider range of colors…in the Racks portion, I mean. Most of the racks I remember seeing on CO are rather, um, pale.

  32. Shari says:

    The second thing that came to mind was Manny in Ice Age: “Retract the claws, please.” The first thing was, of course, “Holy Lord in heaven! I can’t handle so much cuteness!”

  33. Esther says:

    It is very important at that teeny tiny age, that the kitten stays warm. A rack like that is a fabulous place for the kitty to stay safe, and to stay warm, and to get the vital social and tactile contact it needs. The fact that this picture should be next to the word adorable in the dictionary simply adds to its awesome!

  34. Noelegy says:

    Wee transparent claws
    Nestled in warm soft cleavage
    It’s their happy place

  35. tracylee says:

    baaah hhahaha I get such a chortle out of C ‘n R posts!
    it’s just *this* side of NSFW :D
    (folks need to lighten up a bit, too, eh?)

  36. flutterby says:

    I saw a joke picture once of a bra on what appeared to be a pair of huge boobs and it turned out to be tocks!

  37. LisaL says:

    Dawwwwww….. poor lil kitten. Glad he found some hoomans to take care of him.

  38. Jackie Rose says:

    Too sweet for words! Bless the kind-hearted folks who are taking care of this tiny morsel of adorableness. And I don’t find this picture titillating in the least …

  39. RL says:

    I ‘ve noticed CO likes to zoom-hance in on lots of pitcures……could we maybe zoom out on this one. ;)

  40. LORETTA says:

    Oouch!!!!!

  41. Linda SF says:

    I live in the Castro, where we have nude guys walking around with everything swinging in the breeze, and sitting their nude butts directly on chairs WITH NO BARRIERS!

    So “racks” are nuthin’! And so good for da furry babies!

  42. SharonK1973 says:

    I am convinced those are not racks… they’re knees. But the baby kitteh looks so comfortable and cozy regardless of whether its a rack or not…
