Ah don’t cares eef eet wuz for the hoomin’s birthday last month. Eet’s MINE.
Cuteporter Laura let us know ’bout this one, saying “This is Nala. Chexjc posted a picture of her holding a balloon on Reddit, saying that the cat has been dragging the balloon everywhere for the last month. When people didn’t believe this was true, chexjc posted video evidence. The video turned out better than anyone could have predicted.” Post title inspired by the 5th Dimension.
Aww, kitten looks so worried when she accidentally let go.
GO Nala & Chexjc, GO !!!!
That balloon bettah RECA’NIZE who is IN CHARGE ‘roun that apartment !!!!!
I just had a honey boo boo moment,when I read your comment!
but helium balloons don’t stay buoyant for more than a day or so… something about the story ain’t true! but the kitty is cute, and that’s what really matters
If you read the comments on reedit, it’s actually a Mylar balloon, which last a lot longer.
Reddit. Sigh.
You don’t need Reedit
to see it’s one of those printed foil jobbers.
I’ve had Mylar balloons last for weeks. If they’re sealed well, they’ll float for quite a while.
that is beyond cute…cute just diminishes what this is! Mi-AW!!
Would you like to ride… In my beautiful balloon. Would you like to glide…
In my beautiful balloon. We could float among the stars… Together you and I.
For we can fly, Up, up and away, In my beautiful, my beautiful balloon.
LUV that song so very very moische. Yup I’m as Old as Dirt. and a Ridiculously Gullible Romance Sucka.
I remember hearing that song on the radio
Me too. At least I’m not alone in my oldness.
Older than dirt here, I guess. Remember “Aquarius”?
My first real crush was to the tune of Rod Stewart’s “Maggie Mae”…
Apparently there are several of us here who are ‘of a certain age,’ as they say.
that’s a RELIEF to me!!! But wow how did the numbers (in my “Age” bos
get so high????
*sigh*
*sigh* again.
“Age BoX” NOT “BoS”
grumblemuttergripe bellyachin’ …
Ohhh I’m floating awayyyy. Balloonsssssss. (Thank you for momentary fantasy!) -from another dirt person
My cat does the exact same thing. Runs up and down the halls holding the balloon string in his mouth!
Nala is so proud!!! A real beauty.
I love cats so much!!
Same here
Super cute, but I just paid $2000 to have a couple feet of balloon ribbon surgically removed from my cats stomach. He almost died. I don’t recommend what these folks are letting their cat do.
“MINE BALLOON!”
Soon we will have a serious helium shortage in medicine and industry (true fact), but if some of it is being used to entertain cats, I suppose it’s worth it.
Nala looks very proud of herself with that balloon. Can’t say that I blame her.
Cats are weird
Yes, they are and that’s why we love them!
Good thing that Nala doesn’t *eat* the curly ribbon attached to that balloon like my childhood cat did. (Sneaky girl got into the Christmas presents when she was about six months old.) It’s no fun extracting undigested ribbon from the business end of a kitty, but we were lucky it made it through! (Sorry for the mental image!)
It looks like proud Nala is supervised in her balloon-and-string play.
ICK
Well, I hope your childhood cat did not repeat that 
Poor kitty 
That is very very cute!
The sproining action and the persistence of Nala are impressive!
Pretty kitty!
[snkkr] “bootyful” [snerk]
lol
I used to do this with my fuzzies when they were little… We’d buy a mylar balloon, tie a feather to the end of the string and watch the fun… We lived in a 2 story house at the time… One Kitteh would grab the feather and you’d see the balloon wander down the stairs… Little while later, you’d see a different Kitteh bringing it back up the stairs… If you sat just right in the living room, all you could see was the balloon floating doooooowwwn the stairs, then a little while later, floating back uuupppp the stairs! Best $3 we ever spent!! LOL
I don’t know why anyone would have trouble believing it. What kitty could resist dangling strings? Heck, I’m fighting off a pair of cats every time I want to tie my damn shoes!
j’ai un mot, Juno: VELCRO !!!!
(that is unless somehow you ENJOY the kittayes playin’ wif yer shooz…..)
My late cat Rose E. Budd used to pull a balloon around the house, when we had one for her!
