Cat stuck in window sill: "Fabulous. Just what I need. First I'm stuck in this window sill, now Mr. McBeadersons here."
Mr. McBeadersons: "Top o' the mornin"
C.S.I.T.W.S: "Let me out of herrrrrrrrrre!"
Mr. McBeadersons: [Sniffs out selling opportunity]
Mr. McBeadersons: [seizing opportunity] "You know, [paw on pane] these Ultra Millguard wood panes hold in 28% more heat and keep out street noise..."
C.S.I.T.W.S: [In disgust] "McBeadersons, I'm not interested in your junk—"
Mr. McBeadersons: "...I've got a red shoebox outside you might be interested in..."
C.S.I.T.W.S: "ooh!" [suddenly interested] "A box? How much?"
Mr. McBeadersons: [whispers price]
Mr. McBeadersons: "Comes with a free neck massage." [tiny claws dig in]
C.S.I.T.W.S: "Oh!"
Mr. McBeadersons: "Yep, another deal done. I didn't win ratsperson of the year for nuthin'."
C.S.I.T.W.S: [snoring]

I'd love to know the story behind that - how did Marmie and Beadie wind up in the window frame together in the first place?
And I do believe I've got the first post on this...
cute rat
Too funny! Great captions!
You outdid yourself Meg!
Thees ees hilarious. I long to know how a creamsicle kitty and a ratty ended up trapped in a window together. It's fascinating.
meg told the story herself. and i bet it's completely different from what truly happened that one fateful day...of a cat and a rat, living in harmony...inside a window.
Lovely cat and lovely rat. I always appreciate interspecies bonding.
argh! omg, this is too damned cute! D=
Aw, Meg, C.S.I.T.W.S. and McBeadersons, I am speechless, for once. Windaful.
STRANGE very strange household
Is that a rat or a degu?
Awww.... How on Earth did they get stuck in the window? But... It's too danged ute! I want to cuddles them.
I wish my ginger puss was so obliging with little beadersons. he only brings home half a mouse each time. eeerh!
I SO want to know where this came from and what's going on, really.
They're obviously pals but why are they stuck on the window? That last shot though kills me. The way the cat cuddles around the rat.
That is the sweetest of the sweet!
I had seen the pics, but to read the saga of what is REALLY being said between CSIWS and Mr. McBeadersons is quite a revelation!
Thanks, Meg!
Wow. That doesn't even look to be a domestic rat, either.
Nice.
hah! I wondered if I'd see this on here at some point... it's been emailed to me several times, already. The captions are definitely a nice addition :)
This came to my email under the heading "For Sale, on USELESS cat".
I know marmie cats are gregarious by nature, but this is just redonkables.
Hehehe! They look like the best of friends! I think there might be some interspecies snorgling going on too! ^-^

I saw Happy Feet last night, and for fans of the Cute, not much beats the baby penguin scenes of the movie. That is all.
Also, the new Harry Potter movie trailer showed up just before. w00t!

As astoundingly perfect as these captions are, I keep thinking of a scene between Purr-tia and Rat-ssanio from the Fur-chant of Venice.
Picture #3: "If you prick us, do we not bleed?"
awwww, no one sent this to me in email!!! soooo cute! i loves me some orange kitteh!
That rat's acting more like a window shill.
I'm thinking that's a gerbil, actually, it doesn't look like a rat. It's still very very cute, though!
I love it! And your captions with the photos made it all the better.
The final photo looks a little like "Let me sniff your butt."
i dont get it- this is scary
why are they trapped?
Yeah. Why are they trapped? It bothers me. I can't accept the cute without an explanation on this one.
pam- the rodent is too big to be a gerbil. it's definitley a rat!
laurie c- i saw happy feet on friday. i loved the humans trying to dance with the penguins!
and those are some hilarious pics and captions! how did they get in the window?
SalesRat of the year is lucky that's a marmie!
Sooooooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuuute.
Love the "Let me out of here" pic! That's how my cats act when one of my rats tries to be friends.
Awwwww!!! What a good night image!
What's funny is no one seems to be worried there are just rodents wandering into this person's house...
At least it has a happy ending.
Where's the last photo? You know, where Cat finally eats Mr. McBeadersons in a fit of hunger, after remembering what his mother always used to tell him:
"Kitty, don't play with your food!"
"But MOOOOOOM!!"
i pity him, really.
cheers everyone!
Don't leave us in suspense! How much is the box?!?!?
Aha! It's a window that slides open horizontally (see picture 5).
My theory: Cat went between the windows when open in order to better stare at shoebox and convince owner to bring said box to the proper side of the window for his own enjoyment. Mr. McBeadersons was then seen joining him and the owner, who never was entirely won over by Beaderson's salespatter, decided to ensure that nature took its course by closing him behind Cat. His attempts, as we can see, were thwarted by cat-beadersons bipartisanship.
That said...I'm going to return to using my analytical thinking skills on my thesis paper. This is, unfortunately, my favorite distraction.
Don't worry, what's the worst that could happen? Maybe Mrs. McBeadersons comes along?
Mrs. McBeadersons: "Japers, Paddy! 'Tis yourself! And who is SHE?!"
Mr. McBeadersons: "Oy, Luv! Er, meet, er, Ginger, me latest, er, customer."
Mrs. McBeadersons: "Oim no eejit, Paddy!"
C.S.I.T.W.S.: "I hope this is tempered glass."
Mrs. McBeadersons: "It's curtains for you, Paddy!"
what the curtains?
Funny, the first time I saw this photo series, I thought there was some kind of Vulcan-rat kung-fu neck squeeze thing going on.
Plus, when I look at this, it just makes me think of the completely random places I have to lock Flanny cat in to keep her from driving me totally bugshit sometimes.
Reading what I posted, I realized that most people will not be able to make sense of it, so let me 'splain. Flanny is a cry-puss. Sometimes to make her be quiet, I have to put her someplace completely bizarre for anywhere from 10-30 minutes. Then after she is removed, she will shut up for several hours. Like when she was smaller, I once put her in the kitchen junk drawer, and once in the glass front medicine cabinet. Now that she is full grown, I have put her in the shoe cupboard and a plastic sweater box and a file drawer and variety of other places. It's like quiet kitty time-out to soothe her nerves. Works like a charm. Of course, I've never put a rat in there with her.
Redz... I love the concept of a kitty time out (like Bucky Katt's closet time in Get Fuzzy). All 5 of my cats enjoy a little closet quiet time when things get too strange... and with 5 cats, 2 big dogs and 2 teenage boys it gets crazy often.
Cute... OVERLOAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!
can't.move.
I've been at work all day today - after my nice free 'at homeness' of being at university....... so what i'm saying is that i've had a CO free day - hard to take. And then to see this when I get home..... GORGEOS...oh, too much wine - i can't eidt proprllly....
