insanity in advertising

Feline multiple personality disorder is a tragedy. Every bag of Happy Cat donates proceeds to help find a cure.

mystery solved

When Timmy is in what we call "meatloaf" stage, we can never tell where all the landing gear goes. Thanks to glass coffee table technology, now we know.

peace offering

I didn't mean to offend with my last post's caption. Really, I didn't. Can I make it up with a bouquet?

Okay, everyone gets this, right?

:(

cat in the box

Most cartoon cats don't actually act like cats. Garfield? Heathcliff? Felix? Not sure what they are, but they're not cats. Finally, there's a great animator who's just documenting a real cat doing real cat things. Enjoy >

1971: the year of cat unification

In 2010 cats pretty much keep to themselves. The year I was born, things were different. Cats ran together in packs on a quest to find their favorite flavors of Little Friskies 31% high-protein nuggets drenched with natural juices.

See for yourself >

I find quite nice

Translating that Dutch card got me all nostalgic for my most favorite Japanese postcard of all time.

Purchased at the Hyaku Yen store in Tokyo, & for the first time on line--

I give you...

irritated cats 2.0

For my liking, there isn't much better than an irritated cat.

They are scary, yes, but also so fun to look at; I find the folded back ear quite endearing.

So, in community w/the greeting card cat-- which translates, thanks to iGoogle, to "I find quite nice"--

I have lifted this image from the cuteoverload library & brought it straight to our expansive audience of QQQ.

You're welcome.

q is for qookie

Sesame Street schools us old-school on the letter Q. Think that's funny looking, kids? Wait until you learn how to write it in cursive.

Watch on YouTube >

ich bin ein bunliner

I'm going to guess this greeting card is in Dutch. Based on the cat's facial expression, I'm going to guess it translates to something like "I loathe your superior cuteness!" I'm not certain the occasion for which you'd buy this card...

a tale of two kitties

Of the countless Warner Bros cartoons I've seen in my day, this one stands out as an all-time favorite: A Tale of Two Kitties. It stars two WWII-era cats, but the cuteness is entirely thanks to a tiny orphaned bird named Tweety. This is his first-ever appearance, and Warner Bros ruined him almost immediately after. He was a brand-new baby bird in this cartoon, and followed all the rules of cute. Head-to-body proportion. Foot-to-body proportion. Huge eyes. Baby talk. He didn't even have feathers yet. (I've read that the censors demanded feathers be added for his next cartoon – can't have nude baby birds running around with the Nazis on the loose.) My favorite thing about this Tweety is that he's cute as a bug, but sarcastic and mean as all hell. The Warner Bros crew always had something against cats and made them the butt of all jokes, even if the cats in question were dead ringers for Abbott and Costello. Enjoy!

Here we are, face to face...

A couple of silver spoons, hopin' to find we're two of a kind. Making it grow, making it grow— together—we're gonna find our way...

This is our neighbor Junior a.k.a. Edward (as renamed by human neighbor who is Twilight super-fan) trying to come in and visit Timmy through my office window. Note raised paw and Edward's little pink tongue.

Second, an attempt at a self-portrait. The blur makes us both look younger.
