Vintage Supercat

It's 1981.

Supercat gets his first flying lesson.

Next stop: finding a hamster sidekick.

Excellent Caturday vintage scannage, Mike and Carole C. Nice wooden owl on the wall, too.

The cat is cute. Being tossed in the air? I dunno. Kind of mean.: Dave; | Jan 03, 2009 at 05:10 PM

I just wondered if Supercat, when caught (I certainly hope), inserted his/her superclaws in the catcher...: Boomer's Babysitter; | Jan 03, 2009 at 05:10 PM

I think I've seen this kitteh before.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaky_the_Supercat: Jade; | Jan 03, 2009 at 05:20 PM

Nuffest in 3,2,1...: Lillith; | Jan 03, 2009 at 05:26 PM

You're already too late, Lilith. [points to ***********]

[...I believe you were about to point to the comment at the top of this thread, weren't you? - Ed.]: fish eye no miko; | Jan 03, 2009 at 05:33 PM

This is a kitten.: cachorro; | Jan 03, 2009 at 05:39 PM

OH MY GAHD!! That is HYSTERICAL!! XD! Don't worry, gang, whoever tossed Supercat probably ended up with Zorro-slashed arms and wag of the finger from their mom for tossing him.: Juniper Jupiter; | Jan 03, 2009 at 05:45 PM

We had that owl. Not the Supercat, unfortunately.: Rachel of Cyberia; | Jan 03, 2009 at 05:48 PM

Hello people! That kitteh is FLYING! Why else would he wear a cape?: Jezebel; | Jan 03, 2009 at 06:04 PM

LOL Streaky the super cat. HAs it occured to the folks concerned for the kitten that said kitten perhaps just leapt from the curtain rod to the human and the picture taker got it on film.: Annie; | Jan 03, 2009 at 06:46 PM

some kittens enjoy being thrown like that: emily; | Jan 03, 2009 at 06:51 PM

I just snorted my water up my nose laughing at this picture. Now I am coughing and waiting for the nuffing to begin!: browngrl; | Jan 03, 2009 at 06:56 PM

I'll see your wooden owl and raise you a macrame one. [Wouldn't that put us in the '70s, rather than the '80s? - Ed.]: metsakins; | Jan 03, 2009 at 06:56 PM

I throw my cats onto the couch from halfway across the room all the time (it's a small room.) They land with their tails all up and eager and run back to me to do it again. If the cat doesn't like it, he'll let those hands know..: em; | Jan 03, 2009 at 07:02 PM

Wow, back in 1981 you could get a SuperCat for only $9, and that included a shampoo!: Not That Mike The Other Mike; | Jan 03, 2009 at 07:04 PM

My guess is that the vintage wooden owl is actually genuine, authentic wood-grain simulating-plastic.: marmar; | Jan 03, 2009 at 07:09 PM

Can't you tell the cat is trying to jump AWAY from the hideous popcorn ceiling.: Faye; | Jan 03, 2009 at 07:19 PM

LOL!: Sarah; | Jan 03, 2009 at 07:21 PM

This isn't the same kitten with the broken paw and pink cast that was posted earlier is it? If so--not cool!: Mumzie; | Jan 03, 2009 at 07:25 PM

Holy crap batman! That's cute. And relax - I'm sure kitteh wasn't injured. I suppose you folks never threw your precious little human ones up in the air like this? I mean, they even made him a little costume!: Shannon; | Jan 03, 2009 at 07:29 PM

@metsakins, raise you a driftwood clock and call.: joey; | Jan 03, 2009 at 07:45 PM

"I like it! It make me feel strong . . . and brave . . . and tingly!": Theresa; | Jan 03, 2009 at 07:53 PM

Like watching Superman I: a reminder how special effects have improved in the visual ahrts over the last 25 years: dub1; | Jan 03, 2009 at 07:59 PM

haha... considering the ways cameras were back then, I'm surprised whoever took that picture got such a good one. ~Dan: POSTY MCPOSTERTON; | Jan 03, 2009 at 08:22 PM

Am I the only one who thinks the kitten looks like he's doing a high-bar routine, because of the curtain rod in the back? Of course, he'd have the wrong outfit on for that.: chanpon; | Jan 03, 2009 at 08:33 PM

HEY! I just realized something! Wasn't the guy's name that reggae-rapped with Sugar Ray on the song "FLY"...Supercat? Coincidence? I think not!: Juniper Jupiter; | Jan 03, 2009 at 08:50 PM

@joey How about a 3 ft tall brass-toned plastic spanish galleon hanging on the living room wall?: Argentee; | Jan 03, 2009 at 09:32 PM

Impressive, as photoshopping was much more difficult in those days. (I'm KIDDING, Theo). [Well, it was, though. Nobody had the software, they had to have hobby darkrooms instead, like my Dad... - Ed.] Yay for flying cats!: berthaservant; | Jan 03, 2009 at 11:46 PM

I have that same exact owl wall hanging!!!!!: cubbybutt; | Jan 04, 2009 at 12:18 AM

I should add the following: 1) The owl wall hanging is made of paper mache. 2) It was made in Mexico. 3) As a child, I used to gaze at the owl in fear, because the beak had fallen off, and made it look extra scary. But then again, I was also terrified of floating up and bursting like a balloon against our popcorn ceiling. Clearly I was a strange kid.: ps from cubbybutt; | Jan 04, 2009 at 12:24 AM

Noooooo don't toss the baby around...sigh.: cheumis; | Jan 04, 2009 at 01:03 AM

How about some crewel work mushrooms.: Brenda; | Jan 04, 2009 at 01:23 AM

It's a bird! It's a plane . . .: Eyre32; | Jan 04, 2009 at 01:33 AM

Ibid the people who realize that if the kitteh didn't like it, he would mete out his/her own brand of justice, wait for it, 3,2,1 OUCH!: Katrina; | Jan 04, 2009 at 04:17 AM

No one has mentioned the hamster sidekick? I am mentioning the hamster sidekick.: hamster-on-rye; | Jan 04, 2009 at 04:37 AM

@Brenda, I have those crewel work mushrooms, I'll add a crewel work horoscope picture. @Ed, caught me, I'm a 70's girl (with a 60's hubby.): metsakins; | Jan 04, 2009 at 06:29 AM

Hmm, that situation is... familiar to me. ('cept I'm the '70s hubby): Theo; | Jan 04, 2009 at 06:33 AM

Camp Song time again: Up in the air, Junior Birdmen Up in the air upside down. Up in the air Junior Birdmen With your noses to the ground. And when you hear the grand announcement That your wings are made of tin, You will know the Junior Birdmen Have turned their box tops in. For it takes five box tops, Four bottle bottoms, Three wrappers, Two labels, And one thin dime. Ahhhhhh!: Theresa; | Jan 04, 2009 at 06:35 AM

@ metsakins and Ed I realized I had revealed my age too, as soon as I posted, but then it was too late.. Man those crewel things were fun to make, but such dust collectors. You would need a kitty duster.: Brenda; | Jan 04, 2009 at 06:50 AM

how come nobody mentioned the *turguoise* walls? Does it only bother me? Are they back in style?: Jennie Mello; | Jan 04, 2009 at 06:52 AM

turQuoise.: JennieMello; | Jan 04, 2009 at 06:53 AM

I was thinking "turduoise" actually.: Theo; | Jan 04, 2009 at 06:55 AM

Only if you add red curtains on a traverse rod.: Brenda; | Jan 04, 2009 at 06:55 AM

Those curtains are probably brocade.: Brenda; | Jan 04, 2009 at 06:56 AM

Is it a bird is it a plane, no it's super Kitty.: Hon Glad; | Jan 04, 2009 at 07:03 AM

Theresa-I never went to camp, but it is very clear to me that yours was the only one worth attending!: Katrina; | Jan 04, 2009 at 07:58 AM

Oh now that's HARDLY a fair assumption.: Theo; | Jan 04, 2009 at 08:03 AM

Which reminds me of my favorite line from the second Adam's Family movie... Wednesday says-- "You sent us to camp, they made us sing." and my camp was good and so was my kids. Both well worth attending!: metsakins; | Jan 04, 2009 at 08:47 AM

Its a orange kitty with a cape o.o he needs a hat and monocle then he can wrought destruction...noes we are doomed [Pardon my pickiness, but that's past tense; I think you mean he can *wreak* destruction, y'know, and/or havoc - Ed.]: Charlie; | Jan 04, 2009 at 09:18 AM

My dad's just laid his darkroom to rest by installing a skylight in the loft, Teho. [Good choice, I approve... - Ed.] That's not a turquoise wall, that's a green wall! Turquoise is cool! Green, not so much. [...but now you've wandered into questionable territory - Ed.]: starling; | Jan 04, 2009 at 10:10 AM
