Heh-heh, adorable. My cat Summer, also a tabby, is CONSTANTLY doing this! She actually broke one basket in the process, lol. I've got photos of her curled up in Christmas baskets I had out for decoration -- brownish/gray striped tabby kitty in a glossy red Christmas basket with a bow, yum!

So what is your problem here?
He's got all four feet in.
That means he fits.
So there.

pugmama--that's exactly what I was thinking: a big furry ice cream scoop in a short, squat cone.

I think he is saying:
"I disapprove of this tiny basket."

[threadjack]
My blue cat Flannery is a cry-puss (it's the siamese in her.) She cry-cry-cries all the time. We have sometimes regretted we didn't name her Marislesis.

(For those of you who don't have a giant trivia wart filled with useless information, Marislesis is the cousin of Elian Gonzalez, the little Cuban boy who came here on a raft, and whose mother died. So he was living in Florida with some family members, including Marislesis, before the FBI took him into custody and returned him to Cuba to his father and his Uncle Fidel.) Anway, after Elian was taken, Marislesis was on all the news shows in Florida, screaming and weepy: "Dees ees de worst thing dat has ever happened to meeeeeeee!" Just like that.

Thanks for bearing with me, and now here's the funny thing. Just now as I was getting ready to go to work, Flanny was on my lap, somehow simultaneously crying and purring, so it sounded like this: "Prrrr prrr wah! prrrr dis is prrr prrrr de worst prrr prrr thing prrr dat has prr prr ever happened prrr prrr to meeeeeee! prrr prrr meeeee!"

I laughed so hard, I spilled my coffee on myself, and had to change clothes.

I actually snorted laughing at this. :oD

That's just fantastic.

Thank-you, Meg!

Thank-you, Sir Puddles!

LOL, TJ...this cat does look like he might begin to "bokbokbok begok" at any moment.

I hope this doesn't harsh anyone's cute, and it's a bit of a threadjack, but this is an amazing "Cute or Sad" animal story in the news:

Lauowolf - OMG, that was great!!!! I'm supposed to be working, but I had to totally cover my laugh when I read that... What's funny is that is EXACTLY how they look!!!!

I have a Turkish Van that loves to squeeze herself into small spaces... Usually luggage or computer cases... I've got a couple pics of her in the cases...It's really funny...

Makes me want to go home and snorgle my Kitties!!!!

Gives new meaning to "Muffin Top", eh? lol. My Cujo does this with shoeboxes and the boxes you get gifts of clothing in at Christmas time. I love it when a big kitty squeezes themselves into a teeny box or basket or spot, somehow managing to look very comfortable despite the tight squeeze....lol

Teri
 |  Oct 18, 2006 at 08:07 AM

I think it's so funny how cats will choose to snooze in the most uncomfortable positions and places. This looks like it can't possibly be comfortable, but it must be.

BTW, I think puddin looks like a popover. Here's the photographic evidence: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/images/1086204322987.jpg

Where is it written that certain cats must stuff themselves in containers that have exactly enough space for their molecules? In this case, it would require a certain degree of atomic compression....

Cat
 |  Oct 18, 2006 at 08:37 AM

De kat says "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN' AT???"

Catman Dude =^-.-^=

Additionally, that cat must be a 30-pounder!!!!

A Thinker, that wasn't cute at all, that was the saddest thing I've ever read ;_;

Cute! I had a cat that used to do this and I made sure he wasn't diabetic! Big animals are cute/cuddly, but you gotta realize the stress it puts on their health!

Ummm...don't approach this kitteh. He's giving us his 'basket face'.

Pillow: Watch one night of "Animal Cops," and that story will no longer be the saddest thing you've ever seen. At least that dog had a good life with someone who loved and valued him before dying heroically. Honestly, some of the things people do to animals . . . yeah, last night's "Animal Cops: Houston" just about wrecked me. But that's a rant best saved for another forum.

That cat looks like it's saying, "Back off the basket if you know what's good for you. Back. Off!"
