Hmf.
OK, squawk monkey, there are some points which must be addressed. I shall enumerate.
1) I am eleven years old. I am not a "kitten".
2) You will bring me three of those chewy "salmon"-flavored treats.
3) The length and relative pointy-ness of my claws is just fine as they currently are.
4) You will pet my forehead and ears, gently front to back, until I indicate that am ready for you to stop. This should not be difficult for you to interpret, even considering the limited capacity for language that your species possesses.
5) You will remain quiet, still, and warm for a period of time not less than 30 minutes, and not more than 90 minutes.
6) That half-Siamese SNOT will be kept out of my sight for the remainder of the evening. I am not particular about the methods you may employ to attain this goal. Just see to it that they are effective.
7) This item is only here as filler. Why? Because otherwise there won't be nine of them. As the small monkeys say, "Duh."
8) Yes, OK. I love you. Just so. What? You... [sigh] must I always...? Oh, very well: Prrrrrr.
9) I believe one more salmon treat is in order.

Yay! Caturday!
The picture is "eh" but it is made up for by the rules.
Well Miss Tallulah has a doppleganger. Just replace half siamese with 2 annoying dogs and there you have it!
Meg will be back after these feline messages! Heh.
I've submitted cat photos seven thousand times better than this! Come on!!
People, people, it's not just about the photo — it's about the whole package! This photo may lack a certain "charm" in some people's opinions, but the packaging — that makes up for it, no?
"Meh" -- the choice we both have is simply this:
1) No updates. We wait along with everyone else for Meg to get back, with all the regular CO photo submissions, which I don't have access to, and never *have* had access to. OR...
2) An actual cat for Caturday. With not one but NINE captions.
Teho, you're our hero...which would work better if your name was Rheo, cause then that's just hero rearranged...
Yaaaay Theo! :)
I think the photo is lovely, very contemplative looking and serene.
Either that or the kitty is plotting ebil.
Probably plotting ebil if my cats are any indication.
oh em gee.
These are the evil thoughts I often imagine my older kitty contemplating as she glares at us playing with the new puppy.
Hearts and luv for all!
I think she looks very soft and snorgable. She also looks very regal on the purrple rug, so fitting for the royalty that she is. ;)
Theo rules !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the list makes it amazing!!
Have you been ignoring your kittehs because calling your other kitteh a "Snot"
is somthing I think my cats do when they think I ignore them too much.
WIN.
That is all.
WIN. Go Theo!
dewd, T.
I never realized teh Spot was so,...so,... wordy. always thought of her as the strong silent type.
and yeah, keep that...that... Rikithingamajig away from her majesty.
P.S.: here is a post for you. the paper design and instructions to make yer own ceiling cat:
http://tubbypaws.blogspot.com/2008/03/meow-you-can-has-lolcats.html
The sheer severity of these stipulations daunts me. However, these requirements seem... reasonable.
I'm glad that's not my kitteh. :D
Wow, that cat talks just like mine! Except she's 18 and I don't even try to bring someone new home to live with us, she won't tolerate it. Maybe she's part disapproving bunny too......In any case, fab job Theo!
I bow before The Spot.
Her beauteousness is a marvel to us all!
responses to points addressed above:
1. you are always a kitten to those who love you.
2.okay.
3.if you would refrain from using above mentioned claws on those who love you, then your claws could stay the length they currently enjoy. as you seem unwilling to do that, you must submit to the clippers.
4.i do not now, nor will i ever give up the right to snorgle your wonderful belly or scritch the base of your tail until you do that cute little butt in the air thing.
5.i will remain quiet and still for the proper time period if you will remain off my newspaper or other reading material for the duration of however long i'm trying to read it.
6. don't worry, i really do love you best.
7.point taken.
8.ai luvs mai purr.
9.okay.
I can only deduce that the posting of this photo is good news for my cat. Because if this entirely un-noteworthy photo makes CuteOverload, then Harry is certainly just moments away from stardom. Right? I mean, right?
http://andiwastheecho.blogspot.com/search?q=cat+porn
Oh. Migod. Harry is GORGEOUS.
This kitteh looks exactly like my Santi!
This is cute and funny and just fine by my standards :D AND this kit looks just like my mad Maddy.
He is, isn't he Maureen? Funny and sweet, too.
Did my cat write that? Except there is no other cat to disturb her purrulence.
Oh, I LOVE LOVE LOVE black kitties!! And this one looks very like my O. There is even a lot of purple in the background...HEY! Did someone get into my house?
Correct.
I love!
So happy to see Spot have her moment in the, er, Spotlight.
I once heard a saying somewhere (possibly here) that:
"Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this."
Seems fitting ;)
OMG Best caption EVER!!! This is SO what my cat implies to me every time she is disturbed while sitting on my lap - [dramatic sigh] if you MUST get up to go to the bathroom I will wait until you come back and sit down, but I am NOT HAPPY about it!
Poor Spotster! The RikkiWiggliSpotPesterer has gotten to her, huh?
I am sensing that some young upstart may be in Teh Cattus Cave to give the Elder StatesCat a rest, yes?
Soft head rubs and many salmon treats to Her MajestiCat, and some Cat Dancer crazy time for the Rikkster.
Heh! My first thought was that Satan had sent in a picture of his kitteh. Then I read the rules and figured out it was Spot. (The half-Siamese pestilence, or whatever it was, gave it away.)
Here's another salmon treat M'lord...
Well, I think it's a nice photo with rich color and a lovely black cat head included. Not enough black cats for me ever.
The caption is cat genius. Although I swear most cats will require a full 6-8 hours of human heat pad. The 3 five-week-olds in my bed will sprinkle in short rounds of wrasslin in between, though.
Oh, my God-I am making that papercraft of Ceiling Cat right Now!
and thank you TubbyPaws and Marisser!
yay Caturday! yay black cats! yay teho captions!
Awww...glad to know I am not alone in calling my cats kittens (despite their being 12 and 16). :)
Teho Well the caption of course gets huge kudos... are you sure spot is not really my Magneto. The haughtiness... the demanding royalness the disgust with the half siamese snot in the house..
really sounds just like my house Heheheh!
Then there is the picture
I love the back lighting (black cats are very difficult to photograph)
The purple and red of the background which totally makes her eyes become the focus of the photo. IT is beautiful
YAY!!! It's finally Spot's turn for a Star on the CUTE OVERLOAD STALK OF FAME.
"Squawk Monkey" -- hee!Excellent captions, Theo. Most LOLworthy.
So, does this mean the, er, SNOT is grounded?
... Is anyone else thinking of that movie "Cats and Dogs," with the uber fluffy STHUPER EVIL Mr Tinkles plotting certain DOOM?
I surrender, meow.
I once had un gato negro named "Petey". He HATED it when I'd call him in my singsong voice.
Love da roolz. Agree wit da "plotting ebill" comment.
mmmmrrrah!
Taj, I have a t-shirt with that saying on it. It was a xmas gift this year (not from the cats). I think they're trying to tell me something . . .
Yes, I, too, agree. This is a very nice picture (and looks like my Ares). But since I'm feverish today, it took my reading the comments until I caught on that this was really Spot and she was referring to Ricky.
As for "this isn't cute". Ahm? It isn't??? Okay, maybe I'm just a dull and stupid person, but to me, it is cute. And the captions are simply great.
Thanks, Theo.
This cat would be truly offended if you offered him Cheezburger. :) I suspect Fillet of Mignon would be more to his taste.
pic = purrfect
capshun(s) = cutetacular
teho = you da man!
Brilliant! This reminds me very much, in a funny and comforting way, of my dear departed Raincloud who was with me for 21 years (yes, human years).
I came, I read, I LOL'd!
<3 teh capshonz
XOXOXOX
Sure, the picture's a little dark, but it's still beautiful, what with the reds and purples. I keep staring at it. And I agree with Cafern - the demands seem quite reasonable.
meg has outdone herself this time. these orders are hilarious!
