And your ears are all flat and not listening.

I do believe this kitteh also employs the sleepy eyes rule of cuteness, non?: Samantha; | May 26, 2007 at 12:37 PM

He's got one ear checking out behind him, and one ear listening in front. Everything's covered.: lauowolf; | May 26, 2007 at 12:43 PM

This picture came with an audible sigh of satisfaction :) That is kitten perfection.: Laura; | May 26, 2007 at 12:51 PM

I was strollin' through the grass one day In the merry merry month of May I was taken by surprise By a pair of bright blue eyes And a tail and ears all facing different ways!: Lauri; | May 26, 2007 at 12:57 PM

want, want, WANT!!!!!!: Hannah; | May 26, 2007 at 01:10 PM

Disapproving kitteh! O kitteh, do not disapprove of me, I will snorgle you and scritch behind your ears and kiss your fuzzy tummy . . . .: hrh.squeak; | May 26, 2007 at 01:18 PM

Oo whoo! Not just a little ketten here, but a young lady cat! At least, that's what her prosh body language is saying! =): SeaBreeze; | May 26, 2007 at 02:30 PM

Awwww, what a little sweetheart! Still dubious about this whole "world" thing, but determined to explore...: acelightning; | May 26, 2007 at 02:54 PM

There's sump'n about critters on grass. Sigh...: SixFootJen; | May 26, 2007 at 03:27 PM

Oooooooh... you're gonna want to see this one, too... http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=306280399&context=photostream&size=l (she looks like a younger version of Rikki) (so fast they grow): Theo; | May 26, 2007 at 04:13 PM

Can't...resist...cuteness...too..cute...: Joanne; | May 26, 2007 at 05:06 PM

Itty bitty pretty kitty!: Nicolletta; | May 26, 2007 at 06:48 PM

The kitten is cute, but I have my doubts about this new Rule of Cuteness. I wouldn't have noticed any conflicting body signals, and I don't see them making the kitten any cuter. Besides, how often will the rule apply, anyway?: Deckard Canine; | May 26, 2007 at 07:42 PM

Deckard, The tail raised and curled and how she is walking is how most cats approach their human slave. But flatened ears signal something the kitty doesn't like or is unfamiliar with is off to the side there. so yes two signals going on.: Annie; | May 26, 2007 at 07:47 PM

Sorry, but 3/10 on the cute scale :(: JNO; | May 26, 2007 at 09:27 PM

Deckard Canine - Most animals have a somewhat limited number of body-language signals that we humans can recognize, like tail position or ear position. But an animal's emotions and thoughts are far more complex, so they have to employ combinations of signals that seem contradictory to us. Thus, the tail position signifying "Hi, what's up?" plus the ear position signifying "Uh-oh... what's that?" plus the facial expression signifying "I'm not sure..." add up to a look which we find funny, and therefore cute. Especially on a very young kitten. (P.S. - I *knew* I'd seen you here... hi!): acelightning; | May 26, 2007 at 10:16 PM

Is snorglelicious a word? If not, I just created it.: =bg=; | May 26, 2007 at 10:46 PM

I think this kitty is saying I know I am gonna start something that is out of my control, like humans arguing about how adorable I am and what I am saying in this here pic, chill peeps: leah b.; | May 27, 2007 at 01:32 AM

Aw jeez louise, peeps. It's early in the a.m, don't pick apart the cuteness! JNO, your cuteness scale is unflinchingly rigid :( The cat is cute. End of storyyyyy (...unless it's the neverending story, then what can ya do? Nothing, that's what).: Sheenanana; | May 27, 2007 at 04:19 AM

I can always rely on Cute Overload to make me smile even on down days. Thanks :): kamihi; | May 27, 2007 at 04:51 AM

It looks to me like she's just about to get into "pounce" mode... She's just seen something off behind the camera, and she's just seconds from crouching with those big eyes and tail a'goin', then "SPRONG" off she'll go... That's what I think anyway... And to me, bebbeh kitteh's pouncing is even cuter!!: StormCat; | May 27, 2007 at 05:24 AM

Very cute kitty kat! Kind of confused by the mixture of yes and no, but hey, that little kittle is snorglelicious! Sorry, kind of stole your word but its the only word to describe the cat,you see? :p: Fia; | May 27, 2007 at 07:40 AM

Tis a supermodel on the Catwalk!: Metz; | May 27, 2007 at 08:47 AM

this kitten is too cute, and too beautiful. that being said, i kind of have to agree with deckard in the sense that as cute as this is, it is too obscure of a rule of cuteness to really get used all that often i'm guessing. point being, kitty=adorable, new rule of cuteness=a bit of a stretch: seth; | May 27, 2007 at 09:11 AM

picture = not as cute as teeny-weeny poem describing the picture: ruth; | May 27, 2007 at 11:17 AM

Theo, I'm with you. That one's even kee-y00000000000ter!: anomalous4; | May 27, 2007 at 11:19 AM

It looks dainty.: TracyFlick; | May 27, 2007 at 12:56 PM
