That's like the Yoda of housecats. "Intrusive your camera is on my patch of sunlight warm.": TheIdleReceptionist; | May 24, 2006 at 06:13 AM

"Oh, putting a happy face on. What an interesting philosophy. At what point did you forget WE'RE TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD?": Tony James; | May 24, 2006 at 06:13 AM

Oh yikes. That's not right. The photography's not bad, tho.: Theo; | May 24, 2006 at 06:37 AM

this little fluff ball reminds me of oscar the grouch. love the sunshine!: jenn; | May 24, 2006 at 06:40 AM

And I so love that one can see Vincent (?) in the reflection! "Now Justin, would you just turn a bit to the right...? Yes - perfect [flash]! GOT IT! Meg & co. are gonna EAT this up!" :): jenni joon; | May 24, 2006 at 06:46 AM

Aaaghh! It's a Gremlin!: Aelfwyn; | May 24, 2006 at 06:49 AM

haha.. justin looks kind of angry in that first picture.: DavidBoBavid; | May 24, 2006 at 06:50 AM

flat faced animals look perpetually sad or mad. it's like their smile mechanisms got squished.: karen; | May 24, 2006 at 06:52 AM

Like with the previous bunny, and now this kitty... Is there a rule of fluffness?: Kristen; | May 24, 2006 at 06:56 AM

oooh da smoooooooooooooooshtitude! oh! i have a kitty just like that! 'cept we shav-ed heem for the hot days coming up. he meows at you if he even THINKS you have butter cheese or meat!: ♥'s G.D. & animal; | May 24, 2006 at 06:59 AM

lol the sender inners control f button is stuck on the photoshop program!: ♥'s G.D. & animal; | May 24, 2006 at 07:01 AM

Poor Justin. He also has a grumpy face, through no fault of his own. I want to kiss him and tell him it'll all be ok.: A thinker; | May 24, 2006 at 07:03 AM

This picture scares me..... I like the ones of small fluffy bunnies.: ashley; | May 24, 2006 at 07:04 AM

another disembodied head! :O: greenighs; | May 24, 2006 at 07:04 AM

Justin looks a little pissy pissy! :): AuntieMame; | May 24, 2006 at 07:09 AM

Jenn: He does indeed look like Oscar!!! OMG! That is only wierd lookin' kitty... But then most Persians are in my opinion...BUT cute nonetheless...: StormCat; | May 24, 2006 at 07:13 AM

Trouble with Tribbles: The trouble with this wee Tribble is he's got himself a quibble, "Enough with the cute dribbles - Vince, I need some more kibbles!": Mook; | May 24, 2006 at 07:15 AM

what a baby! and a big head!: ariel; | May 24, 2006 at 07:26 AM

what's going on here? where's the cat's body??? unless, of course, it IS a tribble. and we all know they are trouble.: kariboo; | May 24, 2006 at 07:26 AM

Yeeeeah, this cat looks kinda like it was designed by a committee. Things are in weird places. He does look uber-pissy about it, too! Hee!: ElfOwl; | May 24, 2006 at 07:33 AM

Aww its Cranky McCrankerson!: Lillith; | May 24, 2006 at 07:43 AM

It is indeed, another one for the "Heads" category.: A thinker; | May 24, 2006 at 07:47 AM

I think I would have that look on my face too if someone smacked me in the face with a frying pan!: M-; | May 24, 2006 at 07:48 AM

Grumpy McGrumperson in da house!: mariser; | May 24, 2006 at 07:58 AM

That is not a cat. That is an alien trying to disguise itself as a cat, but had bad satellite reception of our TV images on its own planet and got some of the allometry wrong. He thinks he's "passing" for cat.: Laurie C; | May 24, 2006 at 08:05 AM

huge eye!: ariel; | May 24, 2006 at 08:07 AM

"I was just trying to look out the window... You didn't have to push my face into it!!!!": Sandy; | May 24, 2006 at 08:08 AM

"He completely botched my body though. But I'll give him a second chance. Can I have Ryan Seacrest's nose. Kisses!": Sandy; | May 24, 2006 at 08:12 AM

it must be tough to get around with just a head and two furry flippers.: supergirl; | May 24, 2006 at 08:13 AM

Did Michael Jackson die and reincarnate?: Sandy; | May 24, 2006 at 08:14 AM

I'm not a fan of flat-faced pets... but there is no way on this green Earth that Justin is the reimbodiment of the former King of Pop. Nothing "cute" about MJ.: Theo; | May 24, 2006 at 08:17 AM

C.O. is relieving my stress AND improving my vocabulary - thanks Laurie C! Allometry - relative growth of a part in relation to an entire organism or to a standard; also : the measure and study of such growth: SunnysMom; | May 24, 2006 at 08:18 AM

SMOOOOOOOOOSHY LITTLE SMOOSHY!!!! YAY!: scamps; | May 24, 2006 at 08:20 AM

I think I would be scared out of my skin if Mr. Curmudgeon there jumped on my chest in the middle of the night and started glowering at me...: alice; | May 24, 2006 at 08:22 AM

if not MJ, then the Dark Lord of Mordor? (or at least just the baleful eye part.): finn; | May 24, 2006 at 08:25 AM

Dith ith a pithure off me wiff justht my head and tail. Dee restht of me ith at dee cleanerth.: Diem; | May 24, 2006 at 08:28 AM

SunnysMom, I lived with a biologist for a number of years. You pick up a few things. For my part, I love how CO commenters teach my improved lateral thinking.: Laurie C; | May 24, 2006 at 08:29 AM

"teach *me*" is what I meant to say, of course.: Laurie C; | May 24, 2006 at 08:31 AM

Also, does this picture not totally embody the term "hairy eyeball"?: Laurie C; | May 24, 2006 at 08:32 AM

LOL -- is this an alien cat? Where's the rest of him? He looks like he's just head and paws!: Sue; | May 24, 2006 at 08:34 AM

Why oh why is a grumpy face SO much cuter on a kitty than on a person?: Annie D.; | May 24, 2006 at 09:03 AM

1st pic: "i was just trying to get to that damn pigeon. i thought the window was open. and then SMACK! now my whole face hurts. i'm so ashamed...." 2nd pic: "oh look, the birdie came back....": ROFLMAO; | May 24, 2006 at 09:04 AM

Awwwww, somebody had a great big helping of grumblecakes this morning, yes he did!: Sass; | May 24, 2006 at 09:19 AM

He looks like he's getting his mug shot at the big house. "Please face forward Sir, now turn to the right. Thank you.": ruk; | May 24, 2006 at 09:21 AM

If Captain Hook were a cat, that's what he'd look like.: alice; | May 24, 2006 at 09:28 AM

or Bill O'Reilly.: alice; | May 24, 2006 at 09:29 AM

Justin has a smooshy face One eye sort of outta place. For floofiness he gets A-plus. But still we wonder WTF(uss)...?!!: jaypo; | May 24, 2006 at 09:55 AM

I try to believe six impossible things before breakfast. This cat would be one of them.: aubrey; | May 24, 2006 at 09:57 AM

Paint him green and he looks like Oscar the Grouch!: ebee; | May 24, 2006 at 10:01 AM

if I saw this cat wet I'd probably scream: MoptopmoUse; | May 24, 2006 at 10:05 AM

Not cute. Next!: A Fine Morsel; | May 24, 2006 at 10:11 AM

Cute. Thanks! And jaypo, great poem ;): A thinker; | May 24, 2006 at 10:15 AM

Aw, poor kitty. Kind of cute, yes, and I'm sure he's very sweet, and this is nothing against him at all -- but that is just NOT how cats are supposed to look! Stupid humans for messing about with genetics and breeding in order to intentionally deform felines like that!: Rumi; | May 24, 2006 at 10:27 AM

Another nomination for the Cute/Evil category. Y'know, if there was one.: Laurie C; | May 24, 2006 at 10:37 AM

"the same thing we do every night pinky....try and take over the world!!!!": silly wabbit; | May 24, 2006 at 10:57 AM

OH MY GOOD GOD!!!! its a clone of Mr. tinkles. Did Attila the Hun wear a bonnet? no. Gengis Kahn? I dont THINK so. Well he did wear a furry kind of hat. Maybe a black bonnet?: English Chick; | May 24, 2006 at 11:08 AM

Ah touche Tony James. i note you saw the cats and dogs resemblence also. best film ever no?: English Chick; | May 24, 2006 at 11:14 AM

English - almost, except for the ending which sucked great big hairy things. No WAY should those dogs have won! They scarcely had one brain cell between them, while the cats had brains, class, cunning, and by far the best dialogue.: Tony James; | May 24, 2006 at 11:19 AM

With that rabbit in the previous post, this is indeed Fluff Day. Bluth-luh! Fluff-day!: --MC; | May 24, 2006 at 11:22 AM

I firmly believe that all breeders of the modern Cat Fancy standard for Persians (see the above pictures) should be arrested for animal abuse. This recessed-face standard is notorious for breathing, sinus and tearing problems. Lump these sadists in with breeders of Scottish Folds and Munchkins.: Cathouse Blues; | May 24, 2006 at 11:43 AM

Owner:"My, what big eyes you have!" Cat:"The better to smoosh you with!": Rafael; | May 24, 2006 at 12:01 PM

cathouse, "Lump these sadists in with breeders of Scottish Folds" but,but,but,but Scottish Folds are sooooooooooooooooo cute!! (Persians, OTOH...) please tell me they are not suffering due to their breed. I've never lived with one, but I've meet a few and they seem happy...: mariser; | May 24, 2006 at 12:05 PM

Amen on the cat breeding comments!! There are millions of cats being put to sleep at shelters every day - why do we need to breed more??? I love the kitties themselves, but the breeders should stop!!: Connie; | May 24, 2006 at 12:09 PM

Save yourselves! It's a rogue powderpuff!: Aubrey; | May 24, 2006 at 12:13 PM

Nobody else has said this, but I think he's rather marmalade-ish? Just me?: A thinker; | May 24, 2006 at 12:19 PM

[raises hand shyly] "Please, Sir? I just like the animal pictures, Sir." This kitt*i*n is very cool.: E. Collison; | May 24, 2006 at 12:39 PM

And beige-ish, I think.: E. Collison; | May 24, 2006 at 12:40 PM

Just once I'd like to read comments on a site called for-crying-out-loud CUTE OVERLOAD without a lecture about the evils of breeding cats/dogs/whatever. You have no idea what the individual pets' stories are, and if you're suggesting I shouldn't have adopted my own slightly smooshy-faced halfbreed because of factors neither of us could control, well...don't. That said...this is a very cute little evil cat.: Gloom Raider; | May 24, 2006 at 12:43 PM

Mariser, No doubt Scottish Folds are adorable. The folded ear helps them retain the rounded baby appearance that all mammals are genetically programmed to respond to. But Folds are very, very prone to all sorts ear issues simply because of that fold; their owners have to be *painfully* religious about checking their ears and keeping them clean. Everything from simple irritation deafness can be brought on just by wax buildup. Don't even get me started on how difficult it is to rid these poor little guys of ear mites. At least with proper care Folds can be happy and healthy; Persians are bred to be sickly.: Cathouse Blues; | May 24, 2006 at 12:43 PM

Gloom Raider, guess what! If the site posts a picture we don't think is cute, we're allowed to say so AND explain why we feel that way. No, we don't know the story of each individual animal but we can comment on the breed as a whole. Concerned about the comments? Learn not to read comments on pictures of Persians. very simple.: Cathouse Blues; | May 24, 2006 at 12:46 PM

Yes, could we just enjoy the cute/humour? Honestly!: E. Collison; | May 24, 2006 at 12:46 PM

I'm with Ms. Collison on this one. The site is CuteOverload - if you don't think it's cute, don't post. It Am Tha Law!: Tony James; | May 24, 2006 at 12:52 PM

oooh dear. commentroversy strikes again...time for a new photo!: A thinker; | May 24, 2006 at 12:52 PM

My what big eyes you have! And my...what big....eyes you have. lol Justin, you're cute, even w/your smooshed little face! Okay everyone, I have a kitty family in need of forever homes. The lady who is fostering them already has 5 kitties and cannot keep them, but rescued them from the SPCA. Anyway, if you're in the Houston, TX area or nearby and would be interested in giving a kitten or the momma cat a home, please visit my site. Just click on my name to link to my site. Meg, I'm not trying to create traffic at my site, just trying to help a kitty family in need for a friend.: Emma's Kat; | May 24, 2006 at 12:53 PM

"Please, sir - can I have some more?" "MOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE?????????" Though I would Never equate Meg with Mr. Bumble. The Artful Dodger, perhaps?: Aubrey; | May 24, 2006 at 01:03 PM

OMG. Emma, i went to your flickr site and my head exploded when i saw mama orange cat, with her piles of baby orange kittens!!! feel free to click on my name to see my orange man. (ps..i would LOVE one of your orphan kitties, but i live clear across the country!): kariboo; | May 24, 2006 at 01:05 PM

i'm tired of justin-- he's simply not cute enough to get me through my day. i need more cute! ps. and regarding all the debate over whether certain critical comments ruin the rainbows and sunshine culture of cuteoverload-- i find the photos perfectly wonderful by themselves, and i tend not to need others' oohing and sqeeing to enjoy the site. so take in the cute, and remember that getting into a tizzy about someone's comment is just as unpleasant to read than a comment about puppy farms and overbreeding.: carolion; | May 24, 2006 at 01:26 PM

these woods i've found are dense indeed here panthers pounce and pants are peed the dewclaw gleams the feathers fly the downy fur gets in your eye but all must share this fluffy grove from Carrot Top to Karl Rove so shall i help this garden grow? with tender... BORING! shyeah -- f#@% no. instead i needs must cry "attack" due to this stoat jammed up my crack dissent with reason? sir, good luck cause i'm OK but you just suck why stir the pot? why fan the flame? for chrissakes, kids, this $#!t is lame (must go to a meeting... anybody care to finish this?): Theo; | May 24, 2006 at 01:31 PM

hm I did not know that about Persians, Cathouse Blues - CO is my subsitute for the Discovery Channel. I looked them up on Wikipedia. This guy kinda scares me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Couronnepersian.JPG: alice; | May 24, 2006 at 01:32 PM

Not to fan flames! Justin is sweet, despite his grumpy face :D: alice; | May 24, 2006 at 01:33 PM

Be Careful How You Act Take Note of How You Plays In Case You Haven't Noticed This Cat's Eyes have RAYS There's Good In All Things All Warranting Applause There's Even Some Waiting In This Cat's Hidden PAWS: Aubrey; | May 24, 2006 at 01:44 PM

Theo, I think it's done. Any more would be...ahem...overkill. Not that there's anything wrong with that!! [slightly whining with EC and TJ] "Please, sir, may we have another photo please?!": jaypo; | May 24, 2006 at 01:44 PM

Well, that clinches it. We have found Hermione's cat, Crookshanks. Hee!: Maggie; | May 24, 2006 at 01:46 PM

Good pome, Teho. And I agree--'tis complete as is.: A thinker; | May 24, 2006 at 01:55 PM

Why, it does look like a Crookshanks!: alice; | May 24, 2006 at 01:58 PM

If you think Justin has problems just look at poor Mickey, a cat who is now on the Reuters newswire.. I felt like crying after seeing poor Mickey..: moPtopmouSE; | May 24, 2006 at 01:58 PM

This is what happens when you pose your cat for one too many cute overload shots... "..okay Justin this is the last one (for now) I promise..." Poor kitty needs a vacation from his human :p: some dude; | May 24, 2006 at 02:52 PM

Trouble with Tribbles: Mook The trouble with this wee Tribble is he's got himself a quibble, "Enough with the cute dribbles - Vince, I need some more kibbles!" that is tooo funny i love it!: ♥'s G.D. & animals; | May 24, 2006 at 02:55 PM

hes prolly all pissy cuz hes body wass body-napped!: ♥'s G.D. & animals; | May 24, 2006 at 02:56 PM

a place for cute is NOT a place for learning!: ♥'s G.D. & animals; | May 24, 2006 at 03:01 PM

I try to believe six impossible things before breakfast, aubrey heres a couple, um that dolly parton kills immagrants henever she gets the chances, aliens [outer space]exist, that mj did NOT do what we think he did, that opra is NOT an alien trying to brain wash the masses.... uum, thats all i can think of: ♥'s G.D. & animals; | May 24, 2006 at 03:05 PM

tony james, i soooo agree with you about that! and the cats were funnier!: ♥'s G.D. & animals; | May 24, 2006 at 03:08 PM

mariser, scottish folds are INSANE! i know some one who had on. the gene that makes their ears foldmakes them go crazy [that and if they get ear mites you cant clean them out and they burrow into the poor things brain making it crazy]: ♥'s G.D. & animals; | May 24, 2006 at 03:11 PM

sorry im totally over killing but When he saw that damn pigeon fly thru the window the owners widow went "oh i just piddled(?)" The others all romp and play, unsmooshed faces glow all day but just you beware, wear a helmet at night, cuz you never know when the smoosh face bites!: ♥'s G.D. & animals; | May 24, 2006 at 03:20 PM

mooshy faces!!!! Yum!: chackler; | May 24, 2006 at 03:24 PM

"The others all romp and play," For a blissful moment I thought you wrote 'otters'... I think Mr. Squish is delish, but the thought of otters just had my thoughts roaming.: Aubrey; | May 24, 2006 at 03:54 PM

OTTERS OTTERS OTTERS OTTERS OTTERS OTTERS OTTERS [screeeeching brakes noise]... Dammit, not again!: Theo; | May 24, 2006 at 04:02 PM

alice - aarrrgh - I'm going to have nightmares - that wikipedia kitten cannot be real ? Ahem - sorry but - I agree that breeders are evil for continuing genetic mutations. However adopting a pedigree cat from a rescue centre is good - poor unwanted kitties should all have lovely homes.: TwoShedsJackson; | May 24, 2006 at 04:28 PM

aww poor smushy baby!: Michele; | May 24, 2006 at 04:39 PM

"Hearts G.D." aside, I think a lot of us *do* learn from C.O. Here's my preaching-to-the-choir lesson du jour: we can all do our part to discourage overbreeding by never buying a pet at a pet shop and by discouraging our friends from doing so. I happened to get a wonderful Persian kitten, years ago, which ended up at a shop because she wasn't smoosh-faced enough for the breeder's taste. She had a short but normal cat nose. But all cats since have been from shelters - including my beautiful Ragdoll.: chacha; | May 24, 2006 at 04:42 PM

I just adopted a female red smoosh face Persian from a Persian/Himalayan rescue foundation. She had been dumped b/c she was too high maintenance. I agree that we shouldn't encourage this kind of breeding but existing kitties do need homes. FYI, she does have breathing, nose problems.: Kathleen; | May 24, 2006 at 05:14 PM

I love that this is a cat named "Justin". Somehow, that just kills me! Very cute.: suz; | May 24, 2006 at 05:49 PM

That cat head has no body!!!!!!!: tablemountaingirl; | May 24, 2006 at 06:49 PM

*A jazz beat in the background. * I am an angry young kitten. My smooshed face... Mocks me... Crushed under the jackboot of genetic purity. I long to frolic To play with the catnip mousie To chase the beetle flying though the air To be... a kitten I hear them oooing cooing goo goo gooing The man pins the ribbon to the cage that is my world. I mew into the night I am a kitten! Pet me! Love me! Mock not my smooshed face Spare me your pity. Pet me! Love me! I am a kitten! --Peace ;o): EricaE; | May 24, 2006 at 07:54 PM

That is wonderful, E.C.! I particularly love that the cat is called "Vladimir Veitch". SOOOO funny.: A thinker; | May 25, 2006 at 05:12 AM

EricaE -- can I just add a quick coda to your last stanza there? 'Cos I think Justin has earned a "...hear me roar!": Theo; | May 25, 2006 at 07:48 AM

Theo, Absolutely! :o): EricaE; | May 25, 2006 at 09:27 AM

Actually, he looks like Aughra from "The Dark Crystal": BarthexDeRosa; | May 25, 2006 at 01:23 PM

Mmmm...some of those photos are mildly terrifying...: BarthexDeRosa; | May 25, 2006 at 01:29 PM

I wonder if this is what Meg was thinking... "Justin has a smooshy face "Smooshy face, smooshy face "Justin has a smooshy face "With whiskers white as snow": Theo; | May 25, 2006 at 01:48 PM

"If you will please turn your world domination pamphlets to page three" I know what you mean Tony J. Cats rule!: English Chick; | May 26, 2006 at 07:45 AM

His eyes kind of scare me.: Amie; | Jun 14, 2006 at 01:34 PM

I am a mother of two young children and was showing them pictures of kittens (seeing as we were going to get one soon), but both of my kids were so mentally disturbed by this picture that I now have my children in counceling for 200 dollars a session.: nina; | Aug 12, 2006 at 12:06 AM

This is the awful offspring of the illicit affair between Crookshanks and Hedwig. Crookshanks got himself into the Owlery late one night, bringing a mouse that he shared with Hedwig (Pigwidgeon was not invited to this romantic dinner, and he is peeved [pun intentional] with Hedwig still) ... thus, this kitteh's mutant history was born. Kitten looks like a fookin' owl! Cute ... WEIRD cute, SCARY cute, but cute.: Zhandarq; | Dec 03, 2006 at 04:26 PM

Wow, EricaE, good poem!: equus; | May 14, 2007 at 10:58 AM
