Friday catblogging: not my cats

| | comments (5)

Oh my god the hours -- hours, I tell ya -- that I waste looking at funny pictures of cats I’ve never even met. And also hours I spend cleaning up liquid spewed over the keyboard.

My favorite:

And a close second:

It’s the cleverness of geeks that gets me: the wordplay and the self-deprecation involved in the captions and the sheer adoration of kitties. Dogs would be no fun. Dogs would be like, “You took my picture? Cool! Let’s post it online!” And cats are like, “Talk to my agent. I want residuals.” Cats are fun to tease. And I think geeks are jealous of cats: who wouldn’t like to spend their day sleeping and -- here’s the key point -- not feel guilty about it?

There's a reason Cuteoverload.com is one of the top websites out there!! My recent favorite cat pics at that site are the When Cats Attack video (http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2007/02/when_kittehs_at.html ) and the Bond Cat (http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2007/01/cmere_bebeh.html ).
I feel so sorry for that first little cat (even if he did eat the cookie); then again, I'm the schmuck who buys deformed produce because I feel sorry for it. The second dude rocks.
That general cat has got to be an animagus. Look at those markings.
This photo are awesome ... Hope you don't mind, but I quoted you in my blog !!! That phrase about geeks and cats .... I definitely agree .... Like your blog, both ... bye ^_^
