Mystery Photo

What Is It?
Is this a pink, sugared mushroom growing on a snowy mountainside?
Is it a buck-naked, headless man showing us his tiny tocks and skinny legs?
Or, is it a giant, mutant, zombiefied, Pudzilla monster of the apookielypse about to rise up, in frumpy-grumply puddybear glory, hungies for foo-foo?

Or, … is it Buddy Ebsen?

    Ouch, once I managed to get my eyes to see it as a little naked guy, it’s hard to get back to seeing it as super-smoochable kitty nose and leeps.

    What is it about the proximity of cats that makes otherwise-sensible (not to say mature, highly educated, responsible, etc., etc.) humans go all gushy and baby-talkish? (ie, see hovertext…)

    Here I am, responsible for managing over a half-million dollars of not-for-profit income and outgo, and I still subject poor Dusty to “My kitty, yes, _my_ kitty. _Such_ a pretty kitty…” on a regular basis. (‘Course, she gets scritches and treats along with it, so she puts up with me…)

      something I marvel about daily, as I do the same, meanwhile thinking that those who know me would fall into catatonia if they were to hear me, “momma’s widdle baby wabie sweetums”…

    I see Alfred Hitchcat, not Buddy Ebsen . . .

  14. hilz says:

    Maybe I spend too much time examining my cat’s face at this close too, but I LOVE how the bottom part of the nose always looks all glittery :)

  15. TUM says:

    Yep, that’s Buddy Ebsen alright.

    Dear Diary, Today we can see the Summit of Mount Kittymanjawro looming disapprovingly and ever so close. It is surprisingly pink and boopable. My thoughts turn to our ascent on the morrow with a strange kind of thrill, as a thought that has been lurking in my brain continues to chant: “Squee, squee onward.” We press ever onward. We climb this mountain because it is there.

  17. A BIG SMMOOOCHHH

  28. Queen of Dork says:

    My cat just jumped up on me and began kneading me as if I’m a huge pile of dough. 8O

    • Teresa says:

      :lol: AWW :lol: Queen of Dork, your dear sweet kitty sees you as its mommy :lol: You should feel so honored :lol: I would just love to see a picture of that :lol:

  29. Jessy says:

    Is understanding the phrase “hungies for foo-foo” the first time you read it a sign you’ve been on CO too much lately? Because if it is, I need to take a break. :D

  30. Queen of Dork says:

    Bwahahahaha! My cat Albert just totally cracked me up. I was lounging all stretched out on the couch watching a movie. Albert jumped up on me and insisted I pet his apple shaped head. So I did. And I was all, “Oh my goodness! Your head is so apple shaped! You are just the apple-head baby boy!” He hates being called Apple Head so he gave me this dreadfully horrid look (which was really funny) hopped off the couch and me and stormed off all mad. Hahahahaha! (I probably better sleep with one eye open tonight)
