This should come with a warning to click play at your own risk. Teh Qte, it is lethal in this one. Not only purringks, but making teensy air biscuits, shiny, miniscule grey nosicle, fuzzy, vulverable belleh spots, twitchingks, carrot tail, 9 and 3 earses….and….and…gah! Eet ees too moische….
I would only venture to claim fluency in southruhn ‘Mericun-speak and in Outrageux Francais.
(one tiny bit: although occ, if someone is speaking frawnsche in fast-forward or some particular lingo (corporate-Frawnsche-speak?) ,
I might miss part of his/ her point … in general, I do seem to have made myself understood, pretty decently, to folks who are in the States from France itself, from a Fr-speaking area of Canada, or from the various Fr-speaking segments of both Haiti and/ or of Africa ….with people smiling afterwards…)
I made a bit of an effort to get some German and some Russian under my academic belt…didn’t get nearly as far with those. I would say that I can still stumble my way through kindergarten (See Jane place the Pencil on her Aunt’s Table) sentences, very very slowly, READING, in those two. But I found German grammar structure quite odd & disconcerting (verb doesn’t come until everything else has been fully described and conjugated) …..It does feel s’what beguiling, to be able to make out the word(s) written on Russian signs, where people are walking, or in public demonstrations, etc, in photographs though…..I like the Cyrillic lettering system.
I do still have the basic alphabets/ letters and a few color words and basic words in my lexicon from all three.
Also due to our family spending two tours of duty (I was only around, during the SECOND trip much later) in Japan, I have some familiarity, not with spoken sentences, but with some necessaries in that language; again, the first 10 numerals, the “politeness” social phrases, some words for flowers, etc.
Thank you for indulging me in whatever these 4 paragraphs were …
Peace and vocabulary to All.
That would be the coolest commute ever, Theresa! Who needs a “bar car” on the train ride home, when you could relax with tiny, purring, sleepy kittens?
And everyone would miss their stops by *several* stations, have to get a train in the other direction, miss it again…
But they wouldn’t really mind so much.
Oh man, instead of a quite care there could be a purring car. That would be the best EVAR.
It would have made the ride in 100 degree heat in the train with NO air conditioning last week somewhat bearable. I hate Amtrak.
Looks like the next invention from Apple. The I-Snorgle phone.
You can set it to purr instead of vibrate. It makes I-Biscuits when your sweetie calls you. And if you forget to call mom on Mothers day you get the five claw face swipe the next time you touch the I-Snorgle. For added security it comes with a built in Tailio which wraps around a finger or belt loop so you never lose it.
{ no….no….gnats…mosquitoes!}.
.*.bats at them with his paw*
{no…too many…zzzzz…NO!}
“Oh, you’re here keeping me safe! purrrrrrrr….purrrr……..zzzzzzzzz…..purrrrrr
Oh SURE ! It’s cute now when he/she’s all small & adorable but wait till he/she’s full grown & takes up your whole lap while you’re on the computer trying to do something important like a business email or trying to comment on a C.O. pic !
AND won’t accept “wait till mommy’s done” for an answer !
Except for the color that’s exactly what my Stoney looked like at that age.
Involuntary dough making makes me cuhrazy, be it in a kitten or a big old cat. They’re so relaxed and happy that they’re dreaming of nursey-nursey time. How relaxed is that?!
Toe beans and air biscuits, purring and sleeping, AND looking cute with a nice full tummy…….This one must set a record for acheiving the most cute rules all at once!!!
this little kitten morcel is in a hooman being-s HAND.
the c/n/ r category is best when a female of the hooman species….a particular
part of the TORSO of the female hooman ….as well as the kittayn is *cough* visible….
Can’t help thinking the kitteh is purring out the opening bars of the “Imperial March” from The Empire Strikes Back”. But it’s such a wee sweetie and the rear paw clasping and crossing is ultra-qte.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

D’oh!
Heheheheh

I am especially impressed by the incredibly pointy bits!
Most adorable Geiger Counter EVAAAA
My thoughts ‘xactly!
I was thinking–that kitteh is radioactively cute!
LOL! My sister just said the same thing about the Geiger counter before I clicked on the comments!
A Weapon of Mass Distraction to be sure.
L’excellence, c’est ici

Hey Firdie , How many languages do U speak fluently ?
Hi bob

?????????????? : – )
Is it weird that I held my breath for fear of waking this darling little niblet?! And that my only thought was “OMG, I’m dyiiing!”
oh how kind you are carmeira that U di-unt wanna wake him/ her!!!
You get my personal Purple Heart Award !!!
It’s the back feet in prayer mode at :06 that slayed (slew?) me.
Me too.
Thank you! the back feet facing each other just smote me! (?)
nice past-tense verb choice, fanciD
Consider me smotified as well. Heavens to Betsy, that’s adorbs!
The back feet were definitely the cutest things EVER!
He looks like he has a zipper down his belly. I guess that’s how they get the motor in..
I see it too! Wonder what kind of batteries kitteh requires?
QteQteQte, of course!
‘Course he could be a hybrid & cam also recharge by napping in the sun
D’oh! Can recharge, I meant!
Napping in the sun — that means Solar Powered Babay !!!!!!!!! Yeah !
This is infinitely preferable to cell phones in public places. I think I could even deal with a train car full of these.
That would be the coolest commute ever, Theresa! Who needs a “bar car” on the train ride home, when you could relax with tiny, purring, sleepy kittens?
Amtrak should get right on installing them on the eastern corridor. The ride from New York to DC would fly by.
Where do I buy a ticket, Th ????
And everyone would miss their stops by *several* stations, have to get a train in the other direction, miss it again…
But they wouldn’t really mind so much.
Just press a button ,down drops a purrring kitty ! What a way end a hard day at work !! WOOO WOOO !
Oh man, instead of a quite care there could be a purring car. That would be the best EVAR.
It would have made the ride in 100 degree heat in the train with NO air conditioning last week somewhat bearable. I hate Amtrak.
The teeny air biscuits have made me DED.
*quiet car*
Jeez my typing is bad.
Now, Saffron, remember what Fird says:
“It’s ALWAYS the computer’s fault. ALWAYS!”
true dat.
They wouldn’t have to warn you to turn the li’l kitteh off before a movie!
PS: This is one of the best candidates I’ve EVER seen for a good “Nibble nibble squeeze squeeze pokey pokey BEEP!”
Reception must be good, ’cause that kitten has lots of bars.
Gobble, gobble, nom, nom… You mean I was suppose to save some for other people. But it was so nomolicious…

For added security it comes with a built in Tailio which wraps around a finger or belt loop so you never lose it.
It also comes with a personal assistant, Tabbi, who ignores you when you want her attention and won’t leave you alone when you don’t.
And who lounges on the paperwork you need.
Y’all should contact Apple–this is a fantastic set of ideas! I’d buy one!
The only Apple product I’d ever buy! But I’d buy a dozen!!
{ no….no….gnats…mosquitoes!}.
.*.bats at them with his paw*

“Oh, you’re here keeping me safe! purrrrrrrr….purrrr……..zzzzzzzzz…..purrrrrr
aaand i am SLAYED.
Stretchy feetsies!
PLUS I LIKE the spelling of the wird “etikit”, pyrit !
Oh SURE ! It’s cute now when he/she’s all small & adorable but wait till he/she’s full grown & takes up your whole lap while you’re on the computer trying to do something important like a business email or trying to comment on a C.O. pic !

Well, that *is* in the contract! (In that pesky fine print, of course!)
I think that in contracts, co’s ought to be required to headline that section
SUCH an accurate phrase, v 
“Pesky Fine Print”
Ain’t it the truth!
Ded. That is all. Well also it was so cute I almost cried. Oh and I think kitphone WAS on vibrate!
The wee little feet making dough!
Involuntary dough making makes me cuhrazy, be it in a kitten or a big old cat. They’re so relaxed and happy that they’re dreaming of nursey-nursey time. How relaxed is that?!
TINEE TWITCHEE TABBEE TUMMEE!!
ALL TIME YAY
Rut roh. This sent me down a “sleepeh babeh kitteh” YouTube wormhole from whence I cannot escape. HAYULP!!
*lowers a long Rapunzel-hair like white rope to Delta aka PCG)*
That is one deeply contented little kitten.
Isn’t it funny how we all stop what we’re doing to watch a video of a kitten sleeping? Animals are AWESOME.
this is the best post evah!!!!
Shiny, shiny toe beans!
Is it me, or did those toe beans look like little gummy candies?
I was gonna make an “ickle shiny toe bean” comment if nobody else had yet babsy. What a cute behbeh!
Toe beans and air biscuits, purring and sleeping, AND looking cute with a nice full tummy…….This one must set a record for acheiving the most cute rules all at once!!!
No “Cats and Racks” tag?
this little kitten morcel is in a hooman being-s HAND.
the c/n/ r category is best when a female of the hooman species….a particular
part of the TORSO of the female hooman ….as well as the kittayn is *cough* visible….
Kitteh is in the “RPM” phase of sleep (rapid paw movement, of course).
RPM – love it!!!
Love the teeny claws!
AWW
What a little cutie 
I would just LOVE to gently snorgle that kitty 
Can’t help thinking the kitteh is purring out the opening bars of the “Imperial March” from The Empire Strikes Back”. But it’s such a wee sweetie and the rear paw clasping and crossing is ultra-qte.
That belleh is purring for some raspberries.
