Meet Tessa: The Chopstick-Wielding, Spaghetti-Eating Cat From Outer Space

GiggleSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 08:00:00 -0700

OK, so Tessa's not from outer space, but she might as well be. She eats ice cream with a spoon, Fancy Feast with a fork, and spaghetti with chopsticks! I know we've posted this before, but I guess there was a resurgence of interest in utensil-usin' cats while I was on vacation (naturally!) so here I am playing catch up. (Speaking of ketchup, I bet Faye taught Tessa to suck that up with a straw!)

Cute Alert: Big Dog Plays With Tiny Kitten

GiggleSugar — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 08:00:00 -0700

It's kinda hard not to worry while you're watching this that the dog is going to crush that kitty like a can, but it's as gentle as it can be. Meanwhile, the kitty seems to be ready for more. So freaking cute!

Happy Caturday!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 04:01:00 -0700

It starts with two kitties and ends with many kitties, some big, some small. This is how everything in life should unfold.

Epic Battle For Coveted Living Room Chair

GiggleSugar — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 14:00:00 -0700

"It sits there, glowing in all its tattered splendor. The most comfortable chair in the world. But guess what? Someone's in it. That someone is that diabolical cat I have to fight with for everything I want. Pounce. Affection from the humans. Space near the radiator. He will not, I repeat, NOT, take all that I care for away from me. At least not without a fight. So, as a valiant furry soldier, I go into battle weary, but brave. . ."

Real Live Tweety and Sylvester

GiggleSugar — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 09:00:00 -0700

This strange pair seem to get along pretty well. The bird (who appears to have a cat tail fetish) cleans his furry friend as best he can, and the cat just sits around looking bored. Don't get too complacent, Tweets. The furry one cannot be trusted.

Cute Alert: Fuzzy Kittens Look Like Star Trek Tribbles

GiggleSugar — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:00:00 -0700

These adorable fuzzy kittens look just like those Tribbles from the old Star Trek episodes. Only, there's no trouble here. Everything is going swimmingly.

Slowest Meow-sseuse Ever

GiggleSugar — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 09:00:00 -0700

"You may laugh at how slowly I am 'kneading dough' as the humans refer to it, but do not question my technique. I am not fast and furious like the others. Slowly but surely, I am realigning your chakras, bringing your chi back into the fourth quadrant and, zzzzz..."

Planet of the Cats

GiggleSugar — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 04:00:00 -0700

Holy crap. Four hours north of LA exists a cat heaven called Cat House on the Kings. Run by a non-crazy cat lady who is crazy for cats, Cat House on the Kings is a non-profit, no-kill, no cage shelter for cats (and a few dogs) to roam free (inside and outside). They're up for adoption, but if no one does so they're free to hang out forever. And what animal wouldn't want to stay there? The wonderful Lynea Lattanzio has been trained as a vet, has ten feeding stations inside and outside, and just freaking loves animals. The guy who put this vid together says she's not a hoarder, or a proverbial CCL, she's just dedicated her life to animals. 16,000 cats and dogs can't be wrong!

On Frozen Pond

GiggleSugar — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 02:00:00 -0700

Not to be confused with, On Golden Pond. In this soon-to-be-sleeper-hit of the season, this furry dude has gone cat-fishin'. He will not rest until he gets the little orange fishies underneath the ice. (How they're alive, I don't really understand.)

Happy Caturday!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Oh, for Pete's sake. This kitten pile is about all the cute I can take in one sitting. The white-gray fur, the light-pink noses, the pleading eyes. . .What do they want from me?! They can have it. They can have it all.

Cute Alert: Cute Squeaking Cat Wants Down!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:00:00 -0700

Will you please put the video camera down and rescue this kitten? Even this dog would've done something if he could. Someone save Squeakers!

Interspecies Lovin': A Dog, a Cat, and a Rat

GiggleSugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:00:00 -0700

Meet Gregory Pike and his motley menagerie of cutie pies, namely, Booger the dog, Kitty the cat, and Mousey the rat. He swears that they get along because they were raised together, and not through some trick of extreme discipline or drugs or mistreatment. I want to believe! (I love when someone pets Mousey and Gregory says, "Don't knock the flea off!" Tee hee.)

Cats: The Horror Movie

GiggleSugar — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 03:00:00 -0700

They lurk. They wait. They stare, as if into your very soul. Which demons am I talking about? The spawns of Hades. The furries of the underworld. C.A.T.S.

Happy Caturday!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 03:00:00 -0700

This strange cat seems to have gone into another dimension, where he's seeing things that cannot be unseen. And then — shazam! — it's like nothing happened at all and he trots off to annoy the dog or beg for Pounce. What a furry freak!

This Cat Is a Total Punkass

GiggleSugar — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 07:00:00 -0700

You know I love me some cats, but when they're this obnoxious, it's hard to excuse them. (That dog had the patience of Job — for a little while, anyway.) An oldie but goodie . . .

Boy Cats Are All the Same

GiggleSugar — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 08:00:00 -0700

I had to post this because a) I love the idea of a "husband kitteh" and b) I gotta give props to the "big hairy deal" formulation. That really is making something a big deal!

David Lynch Cat

GiggleSugar — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 01:00:00 -0700

Yesterday was Happy Caturday and today is not-so-happy Caturday. (Purrrhaps I've lost my marbles, but I find this video hilarious.) Zoe, however, is not amused.

Happy Caturday!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 04:01:00 -0700

This cat is displaying some mad Matrix-style martial arts skills! I'm glad they slowed the video down so we could truly appreciate its artistry. (The cat lying down doesn't even know what hit him!)

Simon's Cat Wants In

GiggleSugar — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 11:00:00 -0700

More men need to be named Simon (I love that name!), and more cats need their own cartoons. I think this one captures the quintessential charm of cats: they're spazzes who like to act like they're all too cool for school.

Move Over Cats With Cheezburgers!

GiggleSugar — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 10:20:00 -0700

There's some competition in town! And these dogs mean business.

Thanks, I Has a Hot Dog!

The Day After Caturday

GiggleSugar — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 02:00:00 -0700

It's not pretty — but Caturday's worth it.

Happy Caturday!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 04:01:00 -0700

Oh, the daintiness! Check out how this cat dips her little paw into the glass of water and licks it off, only to then bravely stick her head in the glass for a better gulp. I don't think this is exactly how the humans do it, silly, but I give you props for trying.

Cute Alert: Hairless Cat and Chihuahua Messin' Around

GiggleSugar — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 11:00:00 -0700

I love found footage like this. Daisy the Sphynx cat (aka the hairless breed) is calmly watching as her brother Luke messes around with the family Chihuahua, Chacha, while "I'll Be Home For Christmas" plays in the background! It's so cute how gentle Chacha is with Luke, and vice versa. They're just giving each other little love bites. We should all get along this well.

Emo Kitten Listens to Radiohead

GiggleSugar — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 09:00:00 -0700

They start young, don't they? First it's burrowing in a newspaper cone listening to Radiohead, next it's guyliner and morbid poetry. Go outside and enjoy the sun, kitten!

'Princess Chunk' Awaiting Owner at Camden Shelter

Oh, no! A 44-pound cat without a collar has been found, and the folks at Camden Shelter are going to put her up for adoption if she's not claimed by Saturday. They're assuming that the cat they've dubbed "Princess Chunk" and who they say is built like a linebacker, must have been fed by some overly-loving person. I concur. Let's hope overindulgent owner and cat are reunited, and that Princess Chunk goes on a diet! (She's about two pounds away from winning a fat-cat prize! Click here to read more.) Thanks for the tip, Flippy!

Happy Caturday!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 04:01:00 -0700

This fearsome kitty must practice her hunting skills if she is going to make it in the big, bad world. Looks like she might want to get a little bigger before she tries this outside.

Thanks, Maniac World!

Dramatic Japanese Kitten!

GiggleSugar — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 12:00:00 -0700

It's been a long time since we've seen the Dramatic Chipmunk (who's really a prairie dog). But that's old news, right? Well, this just in: Dramatic Japanese Kitten! (It is worth the wait, my friends.)

Cute Alert: Cat Loves His Lollipop

GiggleSugar — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 09:00:00 -0700

This cat is in a trance. I get the same look on my face when placed before a glorious plate of nachos. (Mmmm, nachos!)

BFFs 4-Evah

GiggleSugar — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:00:00 -0700

I thought that was a stuffed bunny at first, but nope — it's the cat's best friend. I love how they're approximately the same size. (Bunny's definitely a bottom, though.)

Happy Caturday!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 04:01:00 -0700

Nala looks like she's out cold or, perhaps, no longer with us. But as Mark Twain once said, "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." Here's her kitty version of that quote.

eBay Find of the Day: Daily Cat Update

GiggleSugar — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 10:00:00 -0700

It may come as a surprise to regular GiggleSugar readers, but I don't have a cat. Which is why this eBay offer to get daily updates on Sir Henry Littleboots here (!) is so enticing. Sir Henry Littleboots "sees flies where there are none and likes to climb to the highest point in any room." Sounds good so far. "He is a man who enjoys a good cuddle and maybe even some toe-licking." Haha. Three dollars a day of muss-free cuteness from afar? Let the bidding wars begin! Click here if you'd like to hear more.

Happy Caturday!

Cats get totally demonic around paper towels and toilet paper. I think Bounty and Charmin need to factor this into their upcoming ad campaigns with maybe catnip-scented 3-ply tissues imprinted with little images of mice. Just a thought...

Cat Adopts Baby Rejected Baby Red Panda

GiggleSugar — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 11:59:00 -0700

A mama cat adopts a rejected baby red panda. (With video cuteness!) And all is right with the universe!

Amazing Jumping Cats!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:00:00 -0700

Jumping ~~Jehosephat~~ Jehosecat, these cats sure can jump! Correction — this cat sure can jump. The other one's just going to get a complex watching his sibling kick his furry ass in the jumping department. Meanwhile, who is this guy teaching his cats to jump? A crazy cat dude! I need to find one for me. . . (Thanks, eBaum's World!)

Cat Is, Like, Totally Bummed

GiggleSugar — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:00:00 -0700

Did this cat get grounded for ripping up paper towels, climbing the curtains, or attacking someone's face while they slept? Whatever he did, show some mercy! He won't do it again. He promises . . .

Happy Caturday!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 04:01:00 -0700

Kitties don't have much to do. They lie on their backs, they play with their tails, they look around confused, and they nap. I love when this one finally says, "Oh, the heck with it," and just starts licking her arm. Good times.

Happy Fourth of July!

It's Just Water Weight, No Big Deal

GiggleSugar — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 02:00:00 -0700

It looks like those late-night lasagne cravings finally caught up with good ol' Garfield here. Squeezing through this gate ain't as easy as it used to be, and that's assuming he actually makes it to the other side. It's questionable at this point, but if he sucks it in, hangs onto the wall for resistance, huffs, and puffs, then maybe . . .

Happy Caturday!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 04:01:00 -0700

Stoner cat is taking a bath after a big hit from his cat bong. And no, he's not a Gremlin. He's just chillaxin' on a groovy Caturday. As you should be. Later, dudes!

Just Watch This and You Will Explode

GiggleSugar — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 10:30:00 -0700

This cute doggie is so confused. He's hearing the distress calls from a little Scottish fold kitty (I swear to you I just saw this video yesterday!) and he wants to help, but he doesn't know how. It reminds me of the scene in Star Wars when Luke Skywalker is cleaning up R2D2 and the film image of Princess Leia projects out with the message, "Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!" Only here, it's starring cute little animals! Gah! I'm dying.

Cat Annoys Fennec Fox

GiggleSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 03:00:00 -0700

You can't really blame him, can you? Those Fennec foxes are pretty foxy. It's rare to see a cat all freaked out while another animal is aloof, but maybe this one's met his match. Hey kitty: Fennec fox is just not that into you.

Cat Porn PSA Needs to Get a Room

GiggleSugar — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 09:00:00 -0700

The PETA peeps want everyone to spay or neuter their cats, so they made this PSA to get the word out. Instead of delighting us with images of cute kitties cuddling with blankies or chasing balls of yarn, they took a more XXX-rated approach. We see kitties humping here. There. Darn near everywhere. It's out of control. Where's Bob Barker when you need him?

But I Wanna Be a Cat!

GiggleSugar — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 01:00:00 -0700

Cute Alert: 4-Week-Old Himalayan Kitten Fuzzball

GiggleSugar — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0700

And out of the ~~primordial ooze~~ similarly-colored carpet crawled Taffy, the 4-week-old Himalayan cutie, who doesn't yet quite have the whole motor skills thing down yet. (All the better to trap her and tickle her!) You can't really blame the woman playing around with her for mega-babytalking. Around cuteness like this, it's an inevitable side effect.

Thanks, Cute Overload!

Behold Squeakers (my nickname for her), the mini-mew who will break your heart. As you can see, she's smaller than a $20 bill, but priceless when it comes down to it. You want the cute? You can't handle the cute!

Cute Alert: Mr. Peebles, the One-Time World's Smallest Cat

GiggleSugar — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 01:00:00 -0700

I'm sure that since this video aired two years ago, another teeny cat has come to replace Mr. Peebles in the Guinness World Book of Records as the world's tiniest cat. But let's give this little guy his due, shall we? In this clip, he's two years old, and yet weighs only three pounds. Apparently, his original owner didn't love him (!!), so a veterinarian with a soft spot for Mr. Peebles took him in. (Click here to read more about his saga.) My favorite part of the story? When the vet saw him, he asked the owner, "Can I have him?" She replied, "If you can catch him." Cute!

Remember Burnsy the talking kitten? Well, once a talker, always a talker! Here's an older, wiser, but still complainy Burnsy. As you'll see in the kitten video, he couldn't be talked into waking up and getting out of bed. Here, he can't be coaxed into going to bed. Oh, Burnsy. I identify with your contrariness.

Another Internet Milestone: Cat Ladies

GiggleSugar — Fri, 30 May 2008 04:00:00 -0700

If you thought ManBabies was an important milestone in the history of the Internet, then hop over and take a look at Cat Ladies. Some loony tune kitty lover had enough sense to know that there are two types of people in this world: those of us who have "real" babies and those of us who treat our cats as if they were "real" babies. For the latter group, this loony tune kitty lover created a head switcheroo photo site on the net. It was only fair. Visit the Cat Ladies website for more photoshopped purrrfection.
