Take this job and shove it
Look, I like a well-runnin' warsh machine as much as the next cat, but this repair job blooooooows! [singsong]
Welp. [unlatches seat belt, turns off Howard Stern Show] gotta go meet a 'Ms. Nancy Pisula of 23 Evergreen Terrace' now.
[takes a healthy swig from flask] Yup.
Sparky? nice work, Bebe. Lots more with funny captions at this site.
Kitty Frown Brow!!!
*huh huh* Breathes on fingernails, polishes them on shirt.
That's some might nice muzzlepuff ya got there, good buddy.
Don't drive angry!
I see a mad case of ROAD RAGE coming on.
Sparky looks different, since the Webbys. Huh.
I see a mad case of ROAD RAGE coming on.
i think this cat is driving under the influence of CUTE.
Bet you that cat REALLY is thinking:
"grumblegrumble dog moving 10 miles per hour on the fast lane. STOP YAPPING WITH A MOUTH FULL OF COKE AND SWITCH LANES!"
TGOT--precisely what I imagined. Cat is grumbling:
"Stupid Soccer Lab moms, with their giant SUV's full of puppies. Damned breeders."
Redzilla: That's *so* exactly what that cat is thinking!
It's Toonces the Driving Cat!
Sparky needs a Pabst Blue Ribbon and a nice big steak from the diner up the road there.
That picture would be perfect with merely the addition of a gun rack holding those feather-on-a-long-string toys.
Kevin -- a cat-dancer rack! Beaut! (And we're all ABOUT the racks, here.)
I'd like to see him in a little utility belt.
It's Toonses!!
This reminds me of my Favorite Cat Moment. I was moving across the wilds of Idaho one night and I had stopped to repair a flat on the moving van. I returned to my car, but as I was about to open the door, up jumps my adventurous cat (having somehow unzipped her carrier) and looks at me with her MOST EXCITED FACE EVER. She had her paws up on the window and was staring at the stretch of wilderness like a kid at the biggest Toys-R-Us ever.
Another second and she would have been bouncing across 100s of miles of abandoned brush, with me standing stupidly by the side of the highway wondering how the hell I could ever get her to come back.
Grumpy tom face!
This looks like the publicity shot for a new reality TV show: "Driving With Cats".
duuuude! that cat looks pissed!! XD
I like the slightly flattened-down ears. heh :)
Connnn-voy!
He needs a little hat. And a big belt buckle.
"Breaker Breaker 19 this is the Rubber Duck"
Thinkie, with a "puss" like that the program would most likely be "Not Lost." What a great tomC!
Oh, now, THAT is a tomcat.
I agree, he grumbles at SUV's full of dogs.
Oh, is he going to fix the warsher of the kitten we've seen with the clawsies out on top of it? (I don't know the link, but you peeps know the pic.)
I looooove those big ol' tomcat heads! 'Specially when those boys are crabby lookin' like this guy.
Next time, I'm gonna get me a tomcat with a big ol' tomcat head instead of a tomcat that looks like a girl like I've got now.
Lurk -- but of course.

Looks like he'd just completed a run to Minneapolis, and then they called in and re-routed him to Denver, so he's going to have to sleep in the truck and take a shower in a scary truck-stop instead of sleeping in his own nice warm bed tonight.
At least, that's the look my dad gets when that happens to him.
Aoife: my guess is this guy's either not neutered, or was neutered later in life. It's the uncut ones who develop the big jowlies and brow ridges that mark out the "tomcat" face--as with a lot of animals.
Someone more knowledgeable than me, correct me if I'm wrong?
Aoife- ROFL about the girly-looking toms. I like the big burly-lookin ones too, ROFL! Orange is my fave. :)
NebraskaErin- I totally agree with that entire scenario.. my husband drove truck for 13 yrs, and this cat totally has the look! ;)
A thinker: not always.. some toms are just that way hereditarily.
[egads, did I just make up a word?]
No, methinks 'tis a valid word--and thanks for the refination of my statement (now THAT might be a new word...)
I dunno. I don't think that the cat looks so much angry and annoyed as he looks just doooooog tired.
Doncha see the droopy eyelid over the right eye? Buster had better pull over into the next wayside and get himself some caffeine from the vending machines.
My tom Bluto had a big hard head like that! Lotsa scars all over the place, nicks in his ears. Hims was a ma-an cat! But then...not. The fixings keep them outta trouble and healthier.
Look at those flattened ears...
"Yea Yea I hear ya lady, but ain't no way I'm moving outta this here lane. I've got things to eat, places to sniff, people to scratch."
A thinker: oops.. misread what you said. Sorry! Jeesh I'm not makin many points with you today, am I? :(
What a sour puss :P That's quite the surly face there!
michellemybelle: LMAO
aww my dog sandy used to do that. cute.
The cat's face reflects what I'm feeling inside today but he's much cuter.
Not at all, jenne, no offense taken.
I think you understood me perfectly...
Dat's one handsome kitteh! With undersized earses and accompanying eartuftses!
"Ok lady, I'm gonna give you a choice hyeah: eider you move yer car or I'm gonna move it for yerz. I gotta get dis puppy into dis parkin' space, and if you don't shift it I'm gonna toyn your minivan into a compact, ya dig?"
"They laughed when the foreman said he'd be putting a cat in a cab.
(spits wad of cat nip out the window. starts switching radio stations)
Why don't they play any good stuff anymore - I could sure use some Catsy Cline on these long runs.
Wonder who won at Tail-adega?"
TJ - the undersize ears thing made me think of Duma. I just watched that FAHHBOOLAS movie this weekend & when they showed Duma straight in the face I kept thinking how little his earsies were compared to the rest of his Cheetahness. Any other peeps around here catch that movie? All good mojo for the kitty in the end. :)
I printed this picture out. My mom will love it. If I remember to take it with me to her house on Saturday! (D'oh!)
Boxcar kitten update: little calico M is apparently purring up a storm at the vet's today, even after her spay. This has convinced the cat rescue group that she should go into their adoption stream and not go back to the boxcars. Yay! They're trying to line up a foster home for her. I'll keep working on her gray brother when I get them both home tomorrow, and maybe he'll get to be a housecat, too, with all the luxury that affords.
Oh my god! That's just like a dream I had years ago. I was riding in the cab of an 18-wheeler while my cat Tippy, the absolutely grouchiest cat in the whole entire world, was driving, her two white paws up on the giant steering wheel, feet on the front seat. (No, I've no idea how she was reaching the pedals, it's a dream, okay?) But she was going waaaay too fast around the corner of a mountainous highway off-ramp, and I screamed, "Tippy, slow DOWN!!!" but she didn't, and as we careened off the cliff I screamed "Tippy, NOOO!!!!!" and we crashed...
It was quite a nightmare at the time, but when I woke up, it was the *funniest thing ever*. Oh man.
(To Thalia)
...weirdo.
The pic's a cropped and flipped version of the one from here:

I love all the captions on these, especially the cookie one!
THALIA! I'm laughing so hard, out loud, at work, with all sorts of important visitors wandering around. I may have lost some credibility, but boy, it's worth it.
