Hover kitteh
Not since HoverHam or Monorail Cat have we been sufficiently bowled over by a levitating ani-pal. Please check out the "inner workings of catness" on display here:

Wow
Like a weird version of the Xerox kitty!
Ahn, paw tuckage...
The superb flatness of it all!
Somehow this kitty is reminding me of freshly laundered and folded towels.
They're always nice and soft and warm and smell nice.
*sniffs monitor*
Cool fluffage!
The inner workings of the cat loaf -- revealed!
i just LOLed as I have never LOLed before. however, i'm slightly disappointed in myself for having lived in the same house with a cat and a glass table for two years and never having thought of this!
The Japanese title is read shitawa kounatte irundesu. It loosely means, underneath, it looks like this. Yeah, this is a very loose translation.
So THAT'S what it looks like under there!!
Ths reminds me of one of those toilet paper cozies.
Anner!
Get on it!
(The cat photography, not the coffee table)
Hee!

Teh link did not work, picture unavailable there now.
Somehow, now that I see the smooshing goin' on underneath, it doesn't look so comfertabuls anymore.
I always wondered how they sat so neat. Worthy of an ikea design award (the cat, not the table)
What a great picture!
About the japanese text: what anonymous said. It just means "this is what it looks like underneath"-- it's just the title of that page. the actual title of the site is ねこ様, or, basically, mr. cat.
*giggle* @ smushed harbls! It/they almost looks like a face... like the cat sat on a rabbit.
I had a white cat for almost 18 years, and she was pretty ..er..fluffy; just about like this one.
She spent a great deal of time in the meatloaf position.
She looked comfortable, but now that I see where her feet had to go, it doesn't look all that comfortable.
It's cool to see where things fit, though.
did any drink coasters make it out alive? o_0
That is the coolest thing I've seen in ages!!!
Like pjk said "the superb flatness"! :-D
I wonder if the underside of the sphinx looks like this?
That's an impressive smile btw.
The cloud formations are so distinctive this time of year, don't you think?
Kar, best comment evar! Can never look at Sphinx again without LOL. Thank you!
The Japanese are experts at under-cat studies:

cute cute cute that is the most comfurtable kitty eveh, can i snorgle that pitty now ????? please please I love the tock locations thats wonderful.
That's kinda creepy in a fascinating kind of way. Reminds me of some weird medical stuff I saw once...
Fabulous!
Cats had us thinking that they retracted or absorbed the feets.
The truth (and the floof) is revealed.
"Folks, please return your tray tables to their upright position as we will be engaging the landing gear....." Hee Hee! Can't get the image out of my poor warped mind!!
OMG punkpie i just saw the rabbit's face. thanks. thanks a lot.
omg.... That is catastic.
The, uhn, rabbit's face... that would be kittyunmentionables. Smooshed.
I was all excited to use my Japanese smarty-pants skills to tell you how to pronounce the linked text. And then I found out that *multiple* other Japanese-speaking smarty-pantses had beaten me to it. [pouts] You gotta get up early in the morning to show off around these parts!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! <3
and whoever used catloaf up above, i thought i was the only one that referred to that position as "catloaf"
Awwww! It's a white fuzzy kitty-loaf!
My kids discovered the entertainment value of looking at the underside of the cat on the glass table. For some reason, though, this really peeves the cat, and she will reach under the table to smack at us.
It sure doesn't look comfy but they sit like that all the time so it must be something to do with kitty ergonomics that we cannot fathom. I keep laughing the more I look at it.
Bunny!!! (ick, I know.)
I heart the "enrobed in fat" hind feet...
it's kitty origami!
and all this time i thought my cat was putting his paws in his pockets. wow.
OMG I lof eet. The curled pawsicles. (Regrets purge of glass table years ago.) So, those folks at "Mr. Cat" seem to have a category called, um, Cats In Crotches or something. I like racks better.
I went to the Japanese website and they mentioned on their front page THEIR picture on cuteoverload! I thought it was cool! Too bad I do not recognize any words except for "cuteoverload.com"
Whoa! I've never seen a kitty from that vantage! Amazingly flexible, hey? Not to mention cute! Guess there's something to be said for having glass shelves!
OMG!!! What an awesome photo! Cats are indeed the masters of Teh Smoosh.
i have another one for ya! http://www.catshouse.com/con/con_index.htm
I always wondered where their front paws went when they sat like that.
Of course you all realise that is a very old model, it's much more sophisticated these days. I use one to do my irony.
Around here, we refer to the advanced catloaf position as kitty-plegia--"look Maw, no paws"!
omg this pic makes me want to go out and get a kitty and a glass table just so i can marvel in this wonderment.
A snowy white meatloaf!
