Happy Birthday, Cute Overload!

On this most special occasion
We kitties would like to take
The chance to scramble over each other
To get the last piece of cake.


Jayda K. is celebrating, too: “These are our kittens. Siri (the mum) adopted us about two months ago and had her babies here. We love them. They turned a month old, so we had a little party for them. Me and my roomie were the only humans.”

    aww! one of them has got their paw over another mouth as if to say ‘this is MA birthday, not yours!’

  2. S says:

    Awwwww, sheesh, birfday kittens! You all-us know what I love :)

  3. BlueMenro says:

    OMG, the tiny hats! The tiny noses! The tiny ears! The tiny muzzlepuffs! The tiny…I’m dying…

  4. occula says:

    There is nothing about this I don’t love, including the hats, the whiskers, and the adoring tone of the sender-inner. Yay!

  5. tracylee says:

    Miss Schnozz wishes Cute Overload the happiest of birthdays, but she tells me she’d rather chase those kittens than sit through their dumb party.

    She’s got a bit of an attitude today, not sure what’s gotten into her. Sorry…

    I want a pile o’ kittens! I demand that a pile o’ kittens appear in my lap immediately or I will be very upset.

  7. skippymom says:

    I got those moderation blues….

    • Nikki says:

      Here, Skippymom, have a fancy birthday cupcake while you play pin the tail on the slow loris in the Mod Lounge.

    • Theresa says:

      Wait! you forgot the anchovy-stuffed jalapenos!

      • Theresa says:

        Moderation? For anchovies???

        • Fird Birfle says:

          “NO ONE expects the Spanish Inquisition…..”

          see, Theresa??
          I *TRIED* to tell you, that anchovies & jalopenos were NOT the way to go …..

          *shifty eyes*

        • Nikki says:

          Theresa, the moderation machine is on overdrive these days. Come sit by me, I’ve been in the mod lounge so long, that I had time to make you a 3-tiered birthday cake and some butter-poached salmon for Dante…

        • kimmaroo says:

          Some people do find anchovies offensive but moderation seems a bit stringent. I’ve been in zee lounge for over 5 hrs. for mouse h0$t-age$. I shoulda known better but I didn’t even think about it before I sent the comment. Moderator must be busy doin’ that birthday party thang.

  8. tracylee says:

    kittens in party hats… *sigh*…

    y’all are really making this not-a-cat-person thing difficult, you know that?!

  9. PJ says:

    Is it really Cute Overload’s birthday? Or should I say “berfday?” Happy berfday, and thanks for all the cuteness!

  10. Nikki says:

    Hippo Birdy Two Ewes Cute Overload! Meg, where should we send the presents?!?

  11. Z.R. says:

    The kitteh with the yellow hat looks like an old man wearing a red and blue tie and is about to get back to his wife from work, and she is twice as big as him and scares him.

  12. ceejoe says:

    Where does one find such teensy weensy hats??? I might like to try them on all of my cats. HAHAHAHhAHAHHHAaaa… And then I wouldn’t be able to type, as I would have had my arms scratched off.

    And the blue eyyyyyyees!!!

  13. Martha in Washington says:

    Kittens in Party Hats? Why don’t you just come to my house in the middle of the night and bludgeon me in the head with a blunt instrument…the effect is the same!

  14. kimmaroo says:

    Kittaynes’ guilt-ridden facial expressions are giving them away. They’re probably hiding tuna cocktails and mouse hostages in the corner under the cushions.

    Happy Birthday to you, Cute Overload, O Big Kahunas of Cute!!!!!!!
    *bows down and chants*
    I’m not worthy. I’m not worthy. I’m not…..

  15. elishab says:

    Happy Dance, Happy Dance on this greatest of all days…..CO Berfday!!!!

  16. susanerg says:

    Ah! It’s my birthday too!! I’m going to pretend kitties in party hats are just for me… (they are, right!?)

  17. DanBenZvi says:

    Having just gotten some news that made me royally pissed off, I come to CO to try and calm myself down…and am greeted with kittehs in party hats. Well played, CO and I’m not even a cat person (allergies, don’tcha know).

    Happy birthday, CO.

  18. kimmaroo says:

    Back in the Mod Lounge again. I found the chopped liver and rye toast. Now where did I put that martini shaker again….

  19. Becky Slam says:

    Happy Birthday, CO. Thanks for many, many laughs, smiles and tears over the years.

  20. Shadyman says:

    Ooh look, birthday wishes from the Itteh Bitteh Kitteh Committeh (Or at least some kittens pretending to be the IBKC)

  21. Mina says:

    Grey sweetheart in the middle: *spits out fur* Just great Bob, you clocked me right in the jaw. Now how am I going to look in the family portrait tomorrow?!

  22. seth says:

    Happy Birthday, Cute Overload!

    Many thanks to Meg and all her helpers for bringing a whole lot of cute and joy into my life. It’s appreciated :)

  23. kris says:

    what party store stocks kitteh sized party hats??

  24. Fird Birfle says:

    wow such a plethora of sub-topics, here.

    ONE: YAY Meg / yay CO berfday !!
    (side note: how’s Goose?)

    Two: yay Mike; stellar work as always. Does your mudder know
    how “perfectly perfect” you are? or did you actually occasionally do something incorrect, as a child????

    Three: “Hippo Birdie” also to la Therese!!!

    Are things chez vous, stinkin’, chez vous, today?
    Or did you use some Febreze and Glade???
    Was there a pile o’ kittens left on your porch this morning?

  25. sunnylessmum says:

    I think the mini marmie has her own li’l green bongo drum there. :)
    Happy Birthday CO, if it wasn’t for this site I would nevah make it through a work day!

    • Zippy says:

  38. MudBug says:
