bam! thread over in one. Nice, Oakley.
WTF?
*pushes glasses up onto bridge of nose and dons lab coat* Hmmmm we’re gonna need more kittehs…
check step (g) in the hovertext.
He looks as if he is comparing himself to the rocket to see if he will fit. Or maybe he doesn’t want to fit and is making sure he doesn’t.
Kitty says,”Black stripey stuff lays out on the warm concrete to be admired? Okay, I can get on board with that.” (Just as long as I don’t have to get “on board”…)
Kitty is thinking..”really what are you so involved with that Thing for… I am here, see how beautiful i am..you Know you would rather play with me”.
Well, after the arrival of Tacocopter I was hoping the next step would be Rockitty.
Cool! Is that real?
IT is not real Skippymom but isn’t it like the coolest Idea ever!
Dang, I really wanted to order a taco delivery. Thanks for raising my hopes, Theresa. Darn you to heck.
One of my cats is named Taco and in fact she is my avatar.
Ask Stephen Colbert.

Hay that is up in the bay area… I wonder if they would fly my tacos down to me. IT is only like 120 more or less miles away!
You are NOT going to fly my cat Taco anywhere especially in that rocket. She is busy sleeping.
Ground control to Major Tom(cat)
CLAP CLAP CLAP
You beat me to it !
* golf clap *

And the cat came back,
The very next day,
The cat came back, they thought he was a goner,
But the cat came back,
Just wouldn’t stay away, away, away, away . . .
ARRRRRGG! Now that song will be stuck in my head for hours!!!
Wait, where do you put the dilithium crystals?
Should that not have been “roC(k)ATeer”???

Houston, we have a problem.
You mean, Mewston, we have a problem.
This reminds me of an on-line invention of a friend of happy memory from years ago:
The ACME Lawnchair Rocket Launcher!!!
I can haz astronaut training?
Who needs step 1 (attach stabilizer fins) when you have a kitteh with a tail like that? Talk about an optimal aerodynamic control mechanism!
That is a beautiful tail, isn’t it. So full and colorful.
Is it me or does that look like really, really big disassembled pen?
At first I thought it was a pen and the kitty was some experimental super-mini-size breed.
It’s just just you.
That’s supposed to say, It’s NOT just you. *sigh*
@ kar: oooooh, VERY nice!!!
@ Mary: Gosh. I always thought I was the only one, attacked by my keyboard.
*sending positive karma, yer way*
I first thought it was a Japanese super-bonsai cat
Anyone who has had cats tearing across your bed at 5 am knows they need no rocket to achieve mach 10.
That cat is gorgeous!
You gotta love how cats always have to lay in the middle of whatever project you happen to be working on.
True that!
Ooh, the cat’s eyes match the fuselage!
*scrolls back up to check*
Yup, Matchinks tag is definitely needed here!
I believe that is a misuse of a perfectly good kitty.
I always knew that cat was plotting something. *gives leery eyes to feline*
But see how innocent he/she looks when you discover the plot!
Purrher von Braun says, “Actually, it IS rocket science!”
This is a flooftacular and handsome kitteh. Evidence: Tail and tummeh region. Check it!
Am I the only one who puts this in the same category as critter-in-a-blender/stove pot/microwave oven?? At least the idiots who might actually attempt probably aren’t drawn to cuteness…
Is this kitty perchance named Alice? (to the moon……)
Oh so that how you make scat missile.
I call matchings!!!! Or close enough…….
too cute
Kitty has the classic, “Wait…what now?” face.
DH says this requires an IKEA name. Okay, Kattrokkit.
Godspeed, Space Cat!
Wow, the picture taker is Steve Jurvetson of the venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson.
Sorry…I can’t find the cuteness in teasing about skyrocketing a cat. But…that is one gorgeous kitty.
