    Better not let kitteh grab that plug over there. Whatever it’s attached to might start running!

      Maybe that’s the future of environmentally-friendly power…harness the energy of kittens!

        I like the way you think. 😀

    Luv luv luv when kitties arch their backs and bounce on their toes!!

    • JenDeyan November 6, 2016 / 7:14 pm

      Agreed! And this kitty displays some epic arching and bouncing.

    This needs to be a gif so I don’t have to keep hitting replay over and over.

      I know! Too short a clip! But of course there’s the sudden memory loss…

        See it again for the first time!

    What? Deja potato vu.

    I just had the odd sensation I was attacked by a potato. I coulda sworn…

    Poor kitten had no chance against the dreaded potato of mass starchy destruction.

    Did anybody notice? There’s a huge cluster of back up potatoes lurking on Kitten’s flank. Where are the reserve kitty forces to offer protection.

    What? Can’t remember? Why? Who are these potatoes you speak of?

      Noticed that but I was wondering why the image looks like a painting.

    Don’t forget that cucumbers also have some strange, chemical response in cats!

    Bwahahahah…… huh?

    • Alice Shortcake November 6, 2016 / 7:03 pm

      Yes, it’s true. Check Youtube for evidence of the age-old battle between catkind and the wily cucumber…

      • sugitomo November 6, 2016 / 8:47 pm

        I’ve seen it.

    If anyone would like a looping GIF of this, reader Arne has thoughtfully provided one for us:

      So much for finishing my laundry tonight… 😛

    • Murray C. November 6, 2016 / 7:57 pm

      Deeply hilarious. Love it. Must be Tigger.???

    • Murray C. November 6, 2016 / 8:00 pm

      How very kind of you, Arne!

      • Faye November 6, 2016 / 11:21 pm

        Yes!

    I bet this human’s spent a fortune in kitty toys when he just needed to spend FIVE CENTS on a potato.

    • Faye November 7, 2016 / 5:51 am

      More back footses action. If kitty keeps going there may be French Frys.

      • Murray C. November 7, 2016 / 10:02 am

        How true – thanks for that, Mariana. Kittens are the BEST! We should learn from their Joie de Vivre. I’m going out to the kitchen and look for a potato.

    If the FBI ever comes for my computer, they’ll see that I watched this too many times to count.

    This potato is going to have quite a story to tell to his fellow potatoes after such a long and adventurous day 🙂
