What's with the RSS feed? It's stuck in June 16 (Picnic Lonsche). Waah, I want my updates! ;(
The cat looks like he's thinking: "This loser better take his iPods and Shuffle off!"
--TwoDragons
That cat is thinking "Yeah, dude, you are so dead."
Dude, that cat is PISSED. I've seen that face before and it resulted in scratches! Eep!
Seriously. Why would you post this? That person actually had to clip something to the poor cat's EARS. It's not like it's even one of those dog outfits that clips to their fur. This is clipped to EARS. Not cool. VERY not cool.
Oh yeah, that owner best be sleeping with one eye open for the considerable future...
Heheh. Now playing:
Green Shuffle: Cat Scratch Fever - Nugent
Blue Shuffle: Katmandu - Cat Stevens
Nah, he's just mad about having to listen to Led Zepplins. He's more into Debussy, I ken tell.
That is not a happy cat.
OMG! when I was a child I wore my gran's clip-on earrings for dress-up. I didn't realize until just now how horrifying the whole experience was. Why didn't someone call social services and get me removed from my home? Dad actually took photos of me like that! How VERY not cool. I don't think I'll ever get over the trauma, not ever never!
*throws arms in the air and runs wailing from the room*
You know - it's a wonder more cats don't kill us in our sleep!
That poor cat is pissed! He will be ignoring his owner for the next month...
That cat is going to rip someones face off. That is the same look my cat gives to me when I won't let him get out of the house to chase lizards on the patio. He usually bites a leg on the way past him... I would wear protective clothing for a while until he isn't mad at you anymore...
Torture... how cute.
hahaha, Michelle. I have also experienced the horror of clip-ons (no pierced ears).
And as for whether this little guy is pissed off - it's kinda hard to tell. A cat pulls his ears back when mad, but in this case it could just be the clips. He could equally be all "Whatever...!" and bored, if you project where the ears would be sans apple merchandise.
Wow. That look says "I will poop in your shoes and kill you in your sleep" if I've ever seen it.
No, mleiv, this guy is definitely pissed off. You can tell by his eyes. The look says, "I am barely tolerating this." When my cats get this look, I can expect the toilet paper to be unrolled at some point in the next day.
nah that's the look of "Ok just remember this moment when I jump with my full magically increasing weight on your full bladder first thing in the morning."
At least that's what my kittehs use for their fave mode of revenge when I've inopportunedly laughed at them or didn't rescue them quickly enough from my children or husband.
Hehehe.Uh that cats human is in for an %@#&* whopping.
Not because of the clips but because while the picture is being taken the human is laughing so hard at kitty.
And people if they really hurt kittys ears that much don't you think kitty (who by the way looks like he can handle himself)would be scratching hissing and biting and making it known that this was not happening.
poor kitty.
that looks like it hurts.
bad owner.
I will be glad to give him a home where no one will torture him if he needs one....
oh and ANOTHER thing!
whoever that is holding that cat up?
why dont you clip those little thingies on your nipples and see how YOU like it?
And hereeeeeeeee we go. *rolls eyes*
"The minute your back is turned, I'm burying these in my magic sandbox. Jerk."
Good pic for stuffonmycat.com
oooh on the nipples? Is that next? I thought this was sort of a fambly show?
Well, I own a shuffle and I clipped it to various portions of my ears and frankly, zero pain ... it barely squeezes.
That being said, that cat is about to MURDER the person holding him. Never intentionally piss off felines ... because you have to sleep sometime.
liz might not realize that some hoomans *like* that sort of thing. *wicked grin* Making her demand a little...less effective.
(also think she needs to get a better understanding of what constitues torture, I can happily link her to a tale about a cat in Oakville who had his feets boiled by a true cruel person. Perspective. It's a good thing)
Not cute. It probably doesn't hurt too much (they close pretty lightly. yes, I just tested it on myself lol) but still :(
At first I was like, "that looks like it hurts!" and was prepared to get upset. Fortunately I have that shuffle model so, after some experimenting both on myself and my dog, I can assure everyone that the shuffle clip does not hurt at all. Even when I clipped it to my dog's ear he didn't seem to care (all he wants is lunch). Mostly all you can tell is that there is weight on your ear (or... other parts...); it doesn't pinch in any way.
So relax.
That looks like something from www.mycathatesyou.com
"Laugh all you want monkey boy, wait till you see what I do with my iPaws!"
He's sooooo thinking:
"I'm going to smother you with my hefty-mongous tabby stripey bod in the middle of the night...I know where you sleep!"
Kar - HA! *snirk* iPaws...that's HILARIOUS.
If that cat was being "tortured" he would be doing a lot more than just staring irritably into the camera. I think his expression is more one of tired, irritated patience. I get that look when I am tickled.
His whiskers are forward instead of back, so I don't think he's all that pissed. It's just the shuffles weighing down his ears.
Wow, I hope you have some leather welding outfits hanging around...kitteh is gonna SHRED you :)
Not for putting the iPaws on him, but for taking a picture and sharing it around. You are lucky he can't call your mom and get that pic of you she took when you were 4. :)

PEEVEY Kitteh!
"why dont you clip those little thingies on your nipples and see how YOU like it?"
I like it a lot :)
Revenge is going to be so sweet. I wonder if the iPod Shuffle is cat urine resistant...
i hope those did not pinch kitty's ears.
i would never do that to my kitty.
beautiful cat. if those pods pinched his ears, i hope he poops in owner's shoes.
bwahahahahahahaha
/poor kitty
Looks like it hurts. Not cute.
Okay, so the cat most likely isn't being hurt but does it really look happy? I don't think pets should be hassled like this just so the human can take a so-called cute photo.
I love this blog, it really brightens up my day. But this is the second time in a shortish while that I've seen a dubious photo like this and I wish they weren't posted.
Ramble on...
I just (green) ipodded my own ear, as well as the wee flap of skin between my forefinger and thumb, and it doesn't hurt, I promise!
I've assisted many cat grooms (and done a few myself)and I can tell you for sure that this cat is not that upset. He actually looks rather relaxed. His ears being weighted down just gives him the appearance of being mad.
this kitty is soooo unhappy.
All the other comments aside, I snerked water through my nose, Denita TwoDragons:
"The cat looks like he's thinking: 'This loser better take his iPods and Shuffle off!'"
I think you owe me a new nose!
Hey! We have a marmalade kitteh named Romeo too! He has no iPods, however, :(
That cat has the "omg there they go again, if I just ignore them maybe they'll go away" look. Not a "I'm being tortured" look which I'm sure would be accompanied by scratching and a quick escape. I'm sure he's not being "hurt" except maybe his dignity.
