Sorry, DU, but it's come to this:

[Patiod]

My cat is cuter than your cat

[MissMillie]

1. Not likely

[Patiod]

5. Oh, look at that little while belly!

Very cute indeed.

[MissMillie]

6. and the pink nose

don't forget that!

[Sugar Smack]

15. AAAWWWWW! I'm in love!!

Look at the little tum tum! And those cute paws!!:loveya:

[Aristus]

2. Oh, without question;

I don't have a cat. B-)

[Kajsa]

17. Hi Aristus!

Long time no see, dear friend!

I hope everything is well with you.

:hi:

[Aristus]

21. Quite well, thank you, Kajsa.

How about with you? :hi:

[Kajsa]

29. I'm doing fine, thanks.

I'm still substituting. There was no work today.
Not many teachers dare call in sick when they
just had a five day break.

We finally got a smidgen of rain, down here
in SoCal. I see that WA and OR really got hit hard this
Fall!

Stay warm, dry and safe, Aristus.

:hug:

[Aristus]

39. Thank you. I will. Puyallup just got a light dusting of snow;

nothing to worry about. But apparantly in Seattle and points north, it is really coming down.

But as for the rain, you're right; We were hit very hard. The Puyallup River was only about 18 inches from flooding its banks. And I live on the Puyallup River floodplain. :scary: You can bet my homeowner's insurance is paid up! B-)

[Kajsa]

46. Good for you, Aristus.

The old cliche, " better to be safe than sorry" really applies here.


I just got earthquake insurance added on to
my policy.

69. Howdie Neighbor

I live on the Puyallup Reservation about a block uphill from the Emerald Queen Casino. Ok so we are not EXACTLY neighbors, the river is about 1/4 mile from me and a few hundred feet lower in elevation. I have seen firsthand some of the damages a runaway Puyallup river has caused over the past decade. My fave frisbee-disc golf course in Sumner got clobbered one year resulting in most of the course being buried under silty-mud that was over 3 feet deep in places! There are/were mobile homes right next to that park which were absolutely devastated.
It got hella cold here last night... From my window I could see I-5 northbound all jammed up this morning due to the icy conditions on the Puyallup River bridge. :hi:

(ps: in case any one else reading this is wondering: "Puyallup = Pew-Wall-Up"...simple as that!)

[kmla]

3. Seeing that I don't have a cat....

....means that I don't have a dog in this fight.

So to speak.

[BikeWriter]

4. You ####! You cheated. I don't have a cat!

[crispini]

7. Uh, no.

Immediately after this picture was taken, that toe got nibbled on. :rofl:

[Patiod]

11. Excuse me, but that's not fair !!!!! Kittens don't count!!!

Kittens up the cuteness factor by at least 4!!!!

[Haole Girl]

8. Can your cat open the Christmas presents?

[MissMillie]

9. mine always take the bows off

and bat them around the house.

[Patiod]

12. No, but she helps wrap

She LOVES seeing the wrapping paper come out, and wants to help hold it down while I wrap.

[Gormy Cuss]

14. That looks like a big cat.

Is it a Maine coon cat?

[Haole Girl]

20. No. They thought she was when she was little...

..but she's really not the biggest cat in our household...the "Bear" is:

[DireStrike]

92. OMG that looks just like my Rogue!

Any idea what breeds are in there? He's an enormous cat too. I thought it was just all the table scraps we gave him.

[Phillycat]

10. I THINK NOT

En garde!

[billyskank]

13. A literary moggie, I see

:hi:

[Phillycat]

16. Yes, he's quite the reader.

I am always calling him to clean up for supper, and he has his nose in a book. :eyes: :D

[Patiod]

18. Mine is only interested in books if I'M reading them

The little paw wraps around, or the little head comes up underneath the book.

[Phillycat]

32. Mm hmm...

and then the lying directly across the page, with the purring and the belly exposed, so you can't really be mad. Heh.

[LiberalHeart]

75. When cats do that ...

...it makes me wonder what they think we're doing with that paper thing in our hands. They just love that space between the book and your face.

[mikeytherat]

19. Tate (the Tater Tot) disagrees:

mikey_the_rat

[Patiod]

30. And Tate is showing the belly, just to prove it

Looks like a cute tabby, but hard to tell from upside-down

[Sugar Smack]

22. VERY cute, BUT, here's my Sophie as a wee bairn:

[billyskank]

24. Sophie wins

Cutest. Cat. Ever.

[Sugar Smack]

26. *eeeeeeeeeeee!*

I'm going to go tell her you said that RIGHT NOW!!!:D :bounce: :hug: :toast:

[billyskank]

35. Please tickle her chin for me too

:hug:

[Patiod]

27. Once again - KITTENS DON'T COUNT!!!!!

Those giant eyes -- those big ears --- NOT FAIR!!!!!

[Sugar Smack]

41. LOL!! Ok, here she is as a young lady:

[billyskank]

47. *dies*

:loveya:

[Sugar Smack]

50. I just tickled her chin for ya, sweetie!

Going to go snurfle her tum tum. :loveya:

[Patiod]

28. Sophie looks like a calico tabby as well

Just like the evil thing in my OP

[Sugar Smack]

33. She is!! I LOVE calico tabbies!

They're so loving and sweet. :loveya: And, of course, cute.

[Phillycat]

34. Oh, dear god.

I AM DEAD FROM THE CUTENESS.

[Sugar Smack]

42. You're so sweet! This whole thread is

giving me a HUGE buzz!!!!! :D :pals:

[NMDemDist2]

23. nope, not a chance

[Patiod]

31. Another perfect little tabby face

and quite the sense of balance - hanging out on the slant....

[NMDemDist2]

36. and another

[Sugar Smack]

52. Dassa cutie!!!

OMG!!! :loveya:

[Kajsa]

37. Aww, your kitty is so cute!

Actually, all the kitties here are the cutest little critters around.

There's just something about Dem. cats- they are very cool.

;-)

[Kajsa]

25. That kitty is adorable!

I've got two naughty rascals, but they do
contribute with their watchtower duties.




Yes, I know, their butts are facing the window.
Cats!

[Patiod]

38. Black or tortie? Are they talky?

Noticed that black cats seem to talk almost as much as Siamese.....

[Kajsa]

43. They're solid black.

Nemo, the short haired one makes very strange noises(grunts)
but talks sometimes.

Darwin, his long haired brother talks and chirps( internally),
all the time!! He's very vocal. He even lets us know when he's
thinking about something, which with a cat, is quite often.

[ironflange]

40. Ha! Let's see you beat this!

Or this!



OK, here's a nice one, this really shows her personality:



You can't really tell here, but she has one gold eye and one green eye.

[Patiod]

53. I have the same picture with the shaved belly!!!

Not scanned, though (and I'm so low-tech, all my pics are film vs. digital)

[ironflange]

65. Actually, it's not shaved

She went through a period of licking the fur off. Rather puzzling, but she's pretty well over it now.

[Patiod]

80. This little bugger got into a fight

She had some cuts on her belly, and the shaved it and the fur never grew back

[ElsewheresDaughter]

44. nini

[Patiod]

62. Do cats come in angora style?

Because if they did, Nini would be an angora - look at that fur!

[reyd reid reed]

45. Now...how can anyone resist

this?

[Kajsa]

49. Hi RRR,

Aww, what a cutie-pie.

I have never seen so many black cats in one place
as I have on DU!

:hi:

[reyd reid reed]

51. Her sister's black, too...

Her other sister and her mom are torties.

She's adorable -- and thinks she's a dog. Works out nicely though, since my oldest son's dog (also black) thinks he's a cat.

:eyes:

[Kajsa]

56. Ha! That's great.

Aren't those furbabies funny little critters?

;-)

[Patiod]

54. I see that newspaper cat, and raise you one

[LynneSin]

48. If DU admins banned everyone who owned cats not as cute as mine....

I'd be all by myself! Mine are without a doubt - the cutest!

[Patiod]

63. Sorry, no - they look like they're plotting to take over Delaware

First Delaware, then the world!!!

[bridgit]

55. Tim says, "I'll get right on it."

but i say cute kitty :)

[Patiod]

64. What's with all the sleepy cats?

They don't sleep ALL day - just like 22 hours, right.

Tim is a cutie

[Der Blaue Engel]

57. I beg to differ

:D

[Patiod]

60. That is too funny!

Looks like the cat is saying "I can't look - I can't bear it!"

[Der Blaue Engel]

70. She's actually trying to get some shut-eye

and the low, late afternoon light is just too darn sunny for her. :D

Here are some more views:





She is the cutest, fatest thing ever. I want to eat her. }(

[Mz Pip]

58. Not so fast!

Mz Pip
:dem:

[Patiod]

61. That looks like a happy cat.

Although how do you feed it - it doesn't look like it has a mouth!

[flamingyouth]

59. Cubby is happy to be runner-up:

In fact, he's just happy to be alive. :D

[Patiod]

88. That looks like a happy kitty.

almost smiling

[ikojo]

66. Your cat is cute but he's no

Quinn.

[Kali]

67. Let's see...

[Patiod]

89. MMMM....another tabby face!

with a little white muzzlepuff and bib!

[BuelahWitch]

68. How can you look at this face and say it's not cutest?

My Angel



Here's her peek-a-boo stance:

[Patiod]

90. Are white cats softer than other cats?

She looks nice and soft.

[BuelahWitch]

91. She is very soft

I had an orange Persian and a white Persian, mother and son, respectively. I think I do remember Tisha's hair being coarser than Boo's. But in general, I don't know

[RoyGBiv]

71. Maybe, but my cat reads DU ...

He learned to read at an early age.

[Patiod]

87. Keep him off GD

Too many claws out there already

[Generic Brad]

72. So? Mine has super powers

[Patiod]

86. How did that cat tolerate that cape?

The cat in the OP would be rolling around as if we had wrapped her in Kyrptonite.

[Generic Brad]

94. She loves to wear clothes

My daughter has made her numerous hats which she has worn for prolonged periods of time. And then there were the Groucho Marx glasses. I really think she likes to dress up every now and then.

[Gelliebeans]

73. I'm weighing in...

and mine weigh alot (they aren't fat they are fluffy) ;)

[bertha katzenengel]

74. Oh, you're going to pay for that.

Later. Because I have to go to work (:woohoo:) and then to CA to throw a huki-huki-huki-huki-hukilau. (My sister asked for that song. :eyes:)

:hi:

[Patiod]

81. Congrats on the new job, and hope the luau rocks!

or hulas, or whatever luaus do -- glad Brudder Iz and Los Straitjackets were invited....

[Skittles]

76. my cat could kick your cute cat's ass

[Patiod]

82. Uhm, those claws don't exactly say "cute"

They say "don't mess with me, $@%#"

[Skittles]

93. sometimes I just get the WARNING CLAW

:o

[GalleryGod]

77. Here's Some "Cool Cats" at Play !

Back on Message, Patty !

:rofl:

[Patiod]

83. I miss the braids

they gave J.Roll that je ne sais quoi.

[Callalily]

78. Ummmm . . .

Sorry to say, but my cat takes the prize - hands down.

[Patiod]

84. That looks like a studio portrait!

Very glamorous.

[MissHoneychurch]

79. Your cat reminds me of

Was your kitty the model???

[Patiod]

85. No, but the attitude is very similar

not sure she would sound like Antonio Banderas if she talked, but she has the same swagger

[Manifestor_of_Light]

95. Your Honor, I object.

Your Honor, I object. Irrelevant. Immaterial. I, as the defendant, do not own any cats, do not like cats, am allergic as hell to cats, and would rather not even discuss this.

However, Your Honor, that said, said specimen IS a very cute cat.


Satisfied, OPer???

[Patiod]

96. Thank you. Although she's well aware of her own cuteness

and uses it as a weapon.

I'm allergic to cats too - and does the cat care? No, she does not.
