      I second that.
      Also, I really admire anyone that can teach cats not to go on certain furniture. I have completely given up. I am pwned.

    The one place my cat never jump up to is the kitchen counter. And she’s never interested in any cooked food. But if I unwrap raw meat of any type, she gets up on her back legs, her front paws gripping the edge of her counter, trying to get a closer look. The expression is the same as the kitteh here, the fangs and claws come out. You see the real wild side of her.

    Aww poor kitty got stuck.
    But in other news, my kitty is coming tonight! I was so excited when we got the call yesterday I think I might have actually kissed my dog on the lips. O_o

    • Rachael says:

      Kaya, I’m so excited for you!!! And if it’s wrong to kiss a dog on the lips, I don’t want to be right. :)

    • Emmylee says:

      Yay Kaya!!! I’ve done that before…much to the chagrin of my dog. Although it’s apparently okay for HER to do that when she wants to.

      • Kaya says:

        My dog had this look of, “EW! PEOPLE GERMS! EW!!!!!!!!!! “

        • ceejoe says:

          My kitties get all weirded out when I do it with my lip gloss/chap stick on.

          • Teresa says:

            Our cat, Badger, (my brother, his male friend and me) will turn her ears sideways whenever I kiss her on the head :lol:

          • noellesbootcutkittenpants says:

            That’s funny. Mine tend to wait until I put on lip balm and then faunce* past me and shed all over it.

            *It’s a word I picked up from my mom. I think it’s a cross between “flaunt” and “prance,” both in sound and meaning.

      From having many pets somehow accidentally cram paws in my mouth I can tell you with certainty:
      1. Different animals’ feet taste different
      2. Dog either have some kind of yeast naturally occurring on their paws, or secretly earn spending money brewing beer

      NOW YOU KNOW!

      • fanciD says:

        ie, that ‘cornchip’ smell folks are always referring to here. we like to say my dog has various ‘stinks’. paw stink, sleepy stink, hot stink (after a summer walk)… they’re all so good!

    • Teresa says:

      I hope your dog will love the kitty, Kaya :D

    • fanciD says:

      Ummm… I have to get his warm fuzzy muzzle against my lips hourly, i’m hooked. and then the soft feeling and faint stink stays with you and gives you the warm and fuzzies. It’s the main benefit of having a dog, I’ll have you know.

    Mewclear subpurrine kitty scopes from below.

  8. AuntieBellum says:

    Well, she’s not on the table! :mrgreen:

  9. BikeMahr says:

    You should post that picture on BaconOverload.com

  10. Emmylee says:

    Lol. Poor kitty. I was at a meeting this morning where one of the catering staff almost dropped a whole chafing dish of bacon on the floor. Talk about trauma :)

  11. T.U.M. says:

    Never underestimate a determined marmie girl. They have iron wills.

  12. fleurdamour says:

    One degree of Kevin Bacon

  13. Stressfactor says:

    Those are some determined whackadoodle eyes as well. That is a kitty who could plan world domination it’s spare time. In fact, the bacon probably interrupted said planning for world domination….

  14. sugitomo says:

    And why is that bacon just sitting there, unfried and uneaten? What a shame.

  15. Teresa says:

    Your 9 month old kitten, Sutton, looks like she is trying to find a way to grab some bacon off that plate, Kelley S :lol: I hope you have nice weather in beautiful Casselberry, FL :D

  16. Smallthunder says:

    Note to those color-coordinated: nose matches bacon.
    Or is it: bacon matches nose?

  17. Kar says:

    theoretically, she could reach up, snag some bacon off the plate and technically never touch the table

  18. sabrina rose says:

    Hmm, unfortunate placement, right next to the photo of the pig who swam for miles to escape the slaughterhouse…

  19. Saffron says:

    I think the mod lounge should be stocked with bacon martinis…..

    I spread this pic around at work! But where in the world does Sutton’s hoomins get such delicious looking bacons?!?!?!? All i ever find is nothing but fatty bits, all kinds of good eatin’ meats in that bacon, no wonder kitteh wants eeet!!!

    • maggie says:

      Looks like Vermont Smoke and Cure Bacon. Thick, meaty and oh so delicious. No, I cannot EVER bring it into the house again because my three feline overlords can smell it through hermetically sealed plastic. I tried once. The package was in a grocery sack and the Wee Boy got the sack to the ground, spilled the bacon package out of the sack and then, for the first and ONLY time in the history of their being together, the Wee Boy, the Grump and the Diva worked in concert to spirit away the bacon. I was laughing so hard watching the concerted efforts that they got it down the hall to the living room before I was galvanized into action and retrieved said bacon. The package went into the freezer and the Wee Boy will appear from no where, launch himself to the top of the fridge and start perusing the contents of the freezer anytime I open the door. He actually got IN once and had his fangs in the bacon package again. I don’t know how he knew!
