Poor Man's C.O.

Power outage? ISP shut down? Just grab a monitor husk and stick a kitteh back thar.

Not sure how you make comments tho.

omg what have I got to do to get a [...]?! LOL

Why, you just stick Post-It notes to the monitor, of course.

If there's a Commentroversy, they might start spilling over onto the desk, the room, the walls...

It worked! Yay I've never been first in like 3 years :) (two of my posts got suckered into a spam hideyhole thus the nature of the comment, I was talking to myself by that point LOL)

Cute cat! I have a few suggestions for where to leave comments, not sure if they're legal though? Does cat fur come clean easily?

Dees kitteh looks particularly morose..

Awww, kitty looks sad, wants to come out of box and play! C'mere little sweetie, I'll play lots of kitty-cat games with you!

Comments are relayed through nose boops. Nuffers get a nip afterwards =D

JK
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 01:54 PM

Yes, but where does the mouse go?

Ahhhhhhh.....

Alex
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 02:02 PM

Hahaa purrfect idea for all those old 'puter monitors that I've never gotten around to recycling! And soo 3D too! Just put your face right up close to the monitor and you can almost hear a soft purr and feel the snuggly marmy nose-fur :)

Marianne
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 02:03 PM

So Cute!

Alex
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 02:03 PM

Not to worry, Lucy. Cats come clean quite easily-in fact, they're self cleaning. Wish my doggies were...

Just be sure to use non-toxic ink for any comments. Oh, and the mouse? Duhhh...the cat ate it!

Dreamspinner Cheryl
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 02:03 PM

awwww.

I think comments are made with voice-input only, and must be along the lines of "who's my sweet little fuzziwuzzicuteysweetiepiekins?"

Or otherwise, a good ear-skritching will do.

Great idea! For when I get fired and can't afford internet cuz I'm on CO all day at work. So worth it, tho!

Now that's a live-action computer game. *** Kitteh look a little sad though; maybe he wish for more RAM? Slow kittehs cannot catch the computer mousies.

Teho, can I rent your housecleaning services for every blog I read? You're ever so handy!!

How sweet of the kitty to volunteer for cuteness! I have to beg mine.

 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 02:50 PM

oh, this kind of set up would be perfect for all those folks who've been wishing to be able to snorgle the cute pets displayed in this web site! :D

 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 02:53 PM

i see this computer already has the right software installed.

Khadija
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 03:11 PM

Okay, I'm tossing out my real puter right now so I can get me one of these lo-tech versions.

Aoife
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 03:19 PM

Thanks Cheryl!

My comment did show up as the first, but for some odd reason it's now second and has a word blanked out lol! I love how this happens to me, yet the great spammer of yesterday breezed straight through LOL!!

*gets crayons for kitty comments*

Lucy
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 03:19 PM

[=''=] I love it!

janice
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 03:41 PM

Lucy- my comment was first "under review" to make sure it wasn't spam. I guess I passed, cuz it posted later. I of course, reposted my comment later on so now I look like the idiot...

oaklandcat
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 03:41 PM

This may revolutionize IT Help Desks everywhere!! People would be HAPPY that their 'puter croaked!

I can hear the automated options now:

"If your computer is broken, Press 1. Press 2 if your computer is NOT broken, but you want the kitten loaner anyway.

Please select your replacement desktop: Press 1 for an orange kitty. Press 2 for a black kitty....."

 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 03:48 PM

you make comments with post it notes stuck on the sides of the monitor!

Rachel of Cyberia
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 03:59 PM

i like the word "husk!" It's kewt, but I don't know why!

That is the cutest screen saver I have ever seen.

Mooseb
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 05:32 PM

Dunno about poor man’s, as you could actually snorgle the subject here.

pauldwaite
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 05:33 PM

YES! xkcd and Cute Overload cross-linked at last~ :D

Ruth
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 05:48 PM

Ruth -- cross-linked? Are you saying Randall Munroe has a link to Cute Overload somewhere on his site too?? ('cos I thought he only linked to other webcomics)

Theo
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 06:07 PM

Does it come with anti-virus?

CoffeeCup
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 06:09 PM

awww! we have a bunch of 'puter cat beds at my house. the wee kittens love them!!!

tmmkitten
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 06:15 PM

WRYYYYYYYYYYYYY

therpham
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 06:26 PM

Does this come in a screen saver size too?

Pwease??

And maybe a mouse pad?

Then I nominate them for the calendar. But I have no say. So ignore me. C:

This picture could have been much cuter if the cat didn't look like such a party pooper.

joliesmom
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 06:45 PM

He's not a party pooper, he's just accessing the gaziga bytes of info on the Innerwebs. You'd be concentrating, too.
This is such a great idea! Would certainly cure my nose printz on the screen problema.

Kitteh is just very serious about helping peeps who are suffering from cute-withdrawal.

CheshireCat
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 07:00 PM

Er, sorry Theo, I think I must have meant interlinked, which is halfway there! Though I have seen CO linked many times by others on the xkcd blog/forums ( and just about everywhere else for that matter :3 ). I just like watching bits of the internet collide. ^_^;;

[Me too... and if you do happen to see Mr. Munroe linking to us, please feel free to point it out! I'm a big fan... - Ed.]

Ruth
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 08:40 PM

How handy! I think I'll try this at work today.

Subhangi
 |  Jan 10, 2008 at 11:05 PM

I ackshally liked "Ooup" better.
There is an ancient neon sign near me that says "KENTILE FLOORS." One day, the leg on the "R" burned out, leaving "KENTILE FLOOPS." I was sorry when they fixed it.
