Only They Know For Sure

Marmies. It’s been long suspected they have “something special”.

All we know is, the first ingredient is a secret. And the rest is classified.


They aren’t telling. But Emily G. tells us these are her tabby boys, Charlie (3 years) and Zack (almost 4 months).

    “That’s it, a little closer. I know it’s kind of uncomfortable, but they’ll think we’re up to something if we keep doing this. Now move your left paw to hide that lockpick.”

  2. Flutterby says:

    So much loves in that hug…just before it erupts into kitteh mayhem!!

    • dbf247 says:

    OH MAH GAH

  4. kibblenibble says:

    They’re made outta sugar, then dipped in sweet juice. That’s what I always tell my kitties. (Even though mine arent marmies.)

  5. Flutterby says:

    Secret ingredient looks like whipped, warm buttah gently swirled in apricot marmie (for the life of me, I can’t spell the concoction)!

  6. Madame X says:

    Spun sugar, whipped cream and apricot jelly…

    With a liberal dose of whiskey!

  7. Mela says:

    Oh I am glad they are getting along so well despite the difference in ages. Zack is big for 4 months! I thought they were from the same litter! They looks so much alike!

    • victoreia says:

      I was just thinking Zack’s a really big four-month old! 8-O

      • wannadance says:

        i was just thinking i can’t tell one from another, one end from another, where one stops and the other starts, much less ages…

        but cannot fight off patti la belle..
        voulez vous, etc etc. ..always wondered why one wouldn’t use the second person singular when making an inquiry such as this…

    I have never seen a domestic cat with such rounded ears! Zack must really be part tiger. The two cats look like they have been mixed, or perhaps just gently folded together. I must get the recipe.

  9. Sharon Wilson says:

    Zack’s four months!? He’s gonna be HUGE!!

  10. kimmaroo says:

    Zack is all, “Where have you been all my life?” And Charlie is all, “You mean the last 4 months? I’ve taken naps that lasted longer than 4 months!”

    Every once in a while there’s a photo I save onto my hard drive for no apparent reason except that I feel that I NEED EET.

    This is one of those photos.

  12. Martina says:

    This photo makes me afraid that the kitteh will sneak up on me and choke me until I confess!!!

  13. K. Ives says:

    Teh oranche ones r poison.

  14. Sometimes Boy Kitties make THE BEST MOM’s.

    Missing our Darin who was our resident greeter and bringer home of any stray kitten he could find. ANd he wasn’t a marmie but he had a heart of pure gold!

    • debg says:

      I’ve had one boy like that before and currently have another. It’s fantastic to watch them mother the littler sibs.

  15. Noelegy says:

  16. SlaveToCat says:

    You are the love of my life and I will cherish every minute I can hold you in my paws.

  17. Theo says:

    Hehehehehe hee. :D

  18. Kim says:

    Not a cat lover, but I’ve yet to meet a marmie that isn’t made of awesome.

    • RosieLB says:

  19. Ruffian9 says:

    Marmies are made of creamy deliciousness, swirled with butterscotch. Anyone knows that.

    Awwww, so sweet! I’m all verklempt. Orange boys are the very best! I think it must be time for me to say it again: Every home should have an orange cat, and every orange cat should have a home.
