Toesday! MITTENS
Don't you *HATE* it when people pronounce 'mittens' 'MITT-TENS' or even worse 'buttons' as 'BUTT-TINS'. Everyone know's it's pronounced 'button' you moroon! Stop making an arse of yerself. Geeshe.

So chill.. he's a cool cat!
Mmmmm....paws up? Or Thumbs up??
don't even think of sitting in this seat.
Oh noes, we're doomed, a cat with opposable thumbs. The only thing worse would be a dolphin with hands.
With those thumbs, he could be a handyman (handycat). I can picture him with a sawzall or power drill, fer sure.
kitties with thumbs? is that rare or just a common occurance that i've never noticed?
he looks rather disapproving.
Holy Cannoli, Batman! Them's some biiiiiigg thumbs!
Yay, looks like a boxer with the mittens o waiting for a backrub. Seriously awesome!!!
I have some cousins who pronounce it bud'ns and I hate that too.
enh! must streetch mah tohs!
(my kitteh has thumbs too. they are better to ninjah you with)
Awwwwwww, I miss my old mittened tuxy kitteh. His name was Geordi, and his toes were so great, he had extra. I would snorgle this kitteh's toes in his honor.
IluvheemIluvheemIluvheemIluvheemIluvheemIluvheem!!
kitty thumbs!
if he finds out where the treats and the wet food is--we're doomed!
he sure does look comfy though
That is one mean prize-fighter of a PUSS!!
Way to defend your territory, Tom in tux!!
Eee! I have a "thumb cat" too! My LucyFur is the cutest little polydactyl puss ever. :)
Look at them mitts! Love that little half-sleepy smile.
"Where do I sleep? Anywhere I want to! So there, humans!"
and I hate it when people say "ki'ens"... like it's cute to leave out the T's... as if kittehs *need* to be any cuter!
but I *luf* polydactyl kittehs... more jellybean toes to snorgle!
Look a those beautiful thumbs!! He's so evolved...
i want to kiss his little pink nose!!!!! tuxedo cats are so nice!
i want to kiss his little pink nose!!!!! tuxedo cats are so nice!
look at his little paw-hands! his little pands!
I've always said the only thing that has prevented cats from taking over the world is their lack of opposable thumbs.
Oh, that and the fact that they're distracted by feather toys, bugs, shiny things, and feet under the covers.
My daughter and I call tuxedo cats "kitty-cows" who say "moo-ow" :) It rhymes hehehe.
This chill cat looks like he's up for a serious game of thumb war!
I have a friend who is the biggest fan of this website. She says but-tons and mit-tens. I thinks it's adorable. She doesn't do it on purpose, It's a speech impediment, something about aspirated or un-aspirated T's.
the kitteh is giving a big thumbs down!!
I remember watching Forrest Gump when I was a little girl and thinking that it was so, so weird that Americans pronounce 'buttock' as 'BUTT-TOCK'. (Odd example, I know, but relevant!)
Thankfully now I'm older I know that not all Americans pronounce it like that, apart from odd ones who live in certain states. Am I right? ^_^

dont mess with this kitteh or he will cover your entire face with his gargantuan mitts
how else are you supposed to pronounce 'mittens'?... am i missing something? or are you saying that they separate it into two words?
OMG he's gorgeous. And those paws .... amazing. I WANT HIM!
You fools! Don't you know that opposable thumbs are the last step in cat's march to world domination?
osker
yeah i think they're saying its annoying to say mittens like "mit Tens". thats how i took it anyways.
up here we pronounce it like "mittins"
OMG! Its SYLVESTER!!!
Ok, where's Tweety Bird....
This soft-fisti-kated katt is dressed to perform--on the thumb piano !
Srah, kitties with thumbs (extra toes) are not terribly rare, but I have heard they are prevalent in New England, where we live. My kitteh has seven toes and his paws look like catcher's mitts!
Are pussycats evolving or something? I can't count the number of cat thumbs I've seen recently, on here and on SOMC.... What's going on? Next they'll be taking over the world!
Oooh goody! Sun spots and sleeping all day for all! Yey!
Luckily, Theresa, I will be there to save us from cat world domination, by going, "Looky, looky. It's a sproingy ponytail holder!" Disaster averted.
in Maine it's MITT-EHNS and BUTT-EHNS.
and this cat would be all "ay-yuh!"
I'm filing this in the "cute but strangely disturbing" category. He looks like he's giving the "thumbs down" signal at a gladiator fight! What a shame Friendly and Caligula missed each other by two thousand years...
Redz-
I'll back you up with a feather on a string.
Oh great googly moogly look at them there thumbs.
...and I'll bring the scrunched up ball of paper.
AliceTanzer and LaurieC--They'll make a movie about us called: 3.
In some parts of the NorthEast, where we have something called a "glottal stop", we say "mih-ehns." Yeah, we're weird.
Happyfeet! I've got those hap-hap-happy feet!
Give them a low down beat
and they begin dancing!
