Since today is National Pests Day, let’s take a look at one of the stranger household pests one might encounter: the catipede. This furry, multi-legged arthropod makes its home in drier desert climates, where it often lives in burrows. Aggressive by nature, larger species will walk casually into homes, where they…
Excuse me, I’ve just been informedย that this is National Pets Day, not National Pests Day. Never mind.
via Tastefully Offensive:ย โI took a panoramic picture of our living room. But my cat decided to walk through.โ
National Pests Day would explain the ginormous mosquito that was on the wall outside my door this morning.
Panoramic kitty is much cuter.
And so much more fun to stroke – it could take a half hour from end to end – including the tail, of course. But taking it to the vet could present some difficulties insofar as finding a carrier that could accommodate it.

Panoramic kitty is somewhat disturbing, but the pic is amazing. Thank you, Not That Emily Litella, The Other Emily Litella.
My Cat manages to be pesty every day.
That’s his job.
Yes. This cat is particularly pesty though. Sigh.
I feel you, Faye. My kitty is the same.
Yes, me three with ol’ flappy-lips. Sigh.
Actually, with cats, I think it’s more like a religious calling!
Of course the cat walks through! Why else would you be taking a photo, if not to take one of the cat? That’s an awesome effect.
…also good for blocking drafts under doors…
LOL. Yes, that’s what I need–a bunch of catipedes.
We actually had in our house at one point a door-draft blocker fashioned like a row of sitting kitties! Something like these: https://www.amazon.com/Hampton-Direct-Cat-Draft-Stopper/dp/B004QM950E
Oh yes, send me a Catipede please. It would make an excellent boa. ๐
Gee, I thought a ‘Cat snake’ was a ferret…
My cats have only 4 paws each but I am still covered with scratches after playing with them. Imagine the same with catipedes…
Nail-clipping might be quite time-consuming, but I still wouldnt be able to say no to a neverending cat or two ๐
Ages ago I read some article dealing with foreign insults and curses. There was one from eastern Europe, can’t remember where exactly, that amounted to “I hope your wife gives birth to a centipede and you go bankrupt paying for shoes.”
I love it! And recently I heard Sen. John McCain, commenting on the latest political scandal, saying something to the effect of “We’re just waiting for another shoe to drop from that centipede!”
That is wonderfully snarky.
I much prefer the catipede to the human centipede. ::shudder::
P.S. If you don’t know what that is DO NOT look it up!!!
You mean real centipedes- ughh I know. I cannot stand those things! When I was in my young teenage years I had a futon (it was cool people to sleep on, ok??!)where I woke up to one crawling on my neck. The coolness waned pretty quickly after that.
I second that DO NOT look it up.
Also, have you seen the Human Santapede? ๐
Probably don’t look that up either.
This pic makes me giggle everytime I look at, for some reason it reminds me of an accordian. And I love the text accompanying it.
Accordion cat! I like that idea.
Dat be One Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong Kitty
(If he stands on his rear legs .. would be be a pole cat ?)
Bravo, Doug! This picture is hilarious!
Kaboom! ๐
