OMG. Is this not the best picture of a kitten, EVAR?!? Spread the good vibes kids, we need them.

Pardon me, but that cat is obviously dead, stiff, and hanging from a poorly concealed monofilament line. Have a nice day!

Are you sure luser? I think the best picture of a kitten would BE dead, stiff, and hanging, but from a much thicker line that wasn't concealed.

What the picture doesn't show is the cannon that the kitten was fired from.

And then the cat came back? The very next day?

That picture reminds me of this, except the cat isn't quite as high off the ground (warning, that's a 2mb file, but well worth the download). Oh, and since we're talking about cute cats, I'll just link to one that I took recently (warning, self link). MEOW!

The current caption game picture at Realscott.com is similar. (If you're reading this 14 days from now, it's the photo of the cat. You can find it in the archives)

Hey, that's just like the Giant Cat photo, only cooler. What's missing from the kitten photo are the cool bullet time ripples in the background.

I would love to know what equipment was used to take that. With such an exquisitely short depth of field, short shutter speed, and a rapidly moving (bounding) target, the photographer either had monster reflexes, was incredibly lucky, or spent all afternoon trying to get that perfect shot. Kudos. I love it.

well, now I gotta go track down my cat pictures and post them. Silver and an action shot where she looks quite a bit like a gospel singer (or she just got shocked) but she's actually trying to catch the feather on a string that's flying by. And then there is one eye Ansel, my brother's cat that lost an eye to a dog.

Some cute dog pictures of my greyhound, Lovey. (She came with that name, OK? So don't ask.) I also love kitties but sadly Ms. Retired Racer does not. Of course, I found out today that I'm very allergic to dogs and cats. Might explain the perpetual runny nose.

The blue in the center of the eye is largely a reflection from the flash, but yeah, their eyes were blue. I understand that sometimes changes as they grow up. They're almost a year old now and they got sent to good homes some time ago, and I moved halfway across the country. I wonder what they look like now? :)

At the risk of being ignored at the end of very long and very enjoyable thread, I sent that picture to a friend of mine (props to Gretchen - a cat person) and she agreed it was cute, but sent me this 2MB movie back saying it was still her favorite. The title says it all: didyoueverfeellikethisafterlunch?

You're never ignored on MeFi. There's always someone up at 2am on a Saturday morning with nothing better to do than search back a few days to see if there are new comments on old threads. Unfortunatley, I was the guy voted to keep watch this week... BTW, for some reason, I couldn't get your link to work. It may be my machine tho.

Aaack. I take it back, Fooljay. The email bounced. "...recipient was rejected by a remote mail server. Reason: ... User unknown". Maybe it IS your machine. Or maybe a 2MB file is over your mail system limit. Sorry.
