OK, for this photo shoot, the client wants the kittens arranged by color from lightest to darkest; and also by tail floof density, from thickest to thinnest; and then by what tree they would be if they could be any kind of tree, in descending order of height; and then chronologically by favorite Roman emperor; and then…
Submitted by Allein S., Cheryl S., and Faye., in no particular order.
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Kittens – and all they stand for!
Which one would be this tree?
The one that reads Lovecraft.
Hahaha!
I originally saw that pic on Facebook with the caption, “I think that I shall never see / A poem as lovely as a WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!”
My lord, that belongs in the front garden of the ‘Great and Benevolent Cottontail’.
Allein, you may want to mark this date as the day you made me inhale tea through my nose and then snork it out.
I’m off to make a clean cup of tea, and to blot my iPad.
Yay!!
I think it ate something that disagreed with it (don’t ever argue with that tree)
I shared it in a Facebook group and someone said, “can you imagine being three sheets to the wind and walking past that?”
It would probably look like the most normal tree under such conditions.
LOL, “Lovecraft” was my first thought too – I distinctly heard eldritch wailing!
?
Not one of the fluff balls would want to BE that tree, but they’d all love to be IN it.
Might even improve the tree’s appearance.
Oh, yes, Duckie – little bums and cute little faces peaking out – great improvement insofar as the scary aspect.
Hmm, this looks like a fun game. Points should be given for how many the player can actually get in line and facing the camera all at once.
Yes! Flower arrangements are judged and ranked, why not the even-more-fun kitten arrangements?!
LOL!! It made me think of 3 card monte, “Follow the white kitten with your eye as I shuffle. Here he is, and now here, now here, and now—where? ”
And I love the little dark one on the end that keeps trying to run away to the back of the room, such determination!
He needed to use the litter box. Badly.
Yes, he’s like “Let me go or I’mma pee on your socks!”
Why, it’s like trying to herd cats.
Exactly! I think this video should be in the dictionary under “cat-herding”, finest example I’ve ever seen. I haven’t laughed so hard since …. well, since Mike’s last post, lol.
Lol. Too.
Thank dog there is no limit how many times I can watch the same video, this is wonderfully cute.
This reminds me of my co-worker who wanted to watch a cute puppy -gif until the end 🙂
OMG what a great laugh! Loved it when the guy picked up three at once.
Yes, that’s the bit that made me go “WAAAHHH!!” out loud.
Not that it hugely matters — but is it a guy? I assumed based on the bracelet and freshly smooth legs, that the fluff-herder was a fluffherdess.
I think it is a guy. It is a men’s watch (s)he is wearing. Also the very long fingers and the relatively big feet make me think he is a he.
I agree. Some of those leg images seem to have fuzzy halos.
I think my favorite bit is in the middle when the hands plunk the grey kitten down ON TOP of the white one; this actually manages to hold them for a few moments as they both visibly try to puzzle out what happened and what to do next.
Yes, that was my fave too.
This vid reminded me of EVERY teaching-anxiety dream I’ve ever had: big room full of rowdy students who won’t shut up when I want to start class. I get one section quieted down, while another one bursts into mayhem, and on it goes.
I never tried stacking students, however. That might have worked.
My fave as well. You really could read the confuzzlement on their faces.
My definite favorite moment. White kitten did not look happen to be in that situation.
Definitely love the little “wut the…?” expressions.
Maybe the solution to herding cats is to build up instead of out!
Kitten jenga!
My poor keyboard was an innocent victim of this cat herding.
I like the little white one at the end who tries to swim away.
That one is so sweet! Poor thing must have been absent when they taught “back leg maneuvering”. “Why won’t these things work, darnit?”
Yes, that was my fave, too.
This is my job but with no kittens ?
and I thought I have a difficult job 🙂 Iam not that sure any more 🙂
I kept thinking this was more difficult than playing croquet with flamingoes.
lol 🙂
I love that there are more than two matching pairs of Kitties. At one point I thought the human had a few pairs matched up.
I also love that the guy is wearing socks. Knowledgeable kittie care giver protection tactic. No squished toe beans or tailios.
They should have just talked to Laurie of the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee — she regularly takes photos of 5, 6, or even more kittens with them all politely facing front! It’s truly impressive; she’s clearly found the secret.
Honestly, I laughed so hard at this video — and these comments! — I nearly had an asthma attack! Now I’m wheezing and I *still* can’t stop laughing!!!
That was my first thought, Laura! The pix over at IBKC are always phenomenal. Have you seen them since she got her new camera? If you thought she was good before … Yowza!
Ain’t that the truth, Ricky’s Mom! Did you see the closeups today of the various kitten parts? I swear you could count the hairs, they’re so crisp and clear! She’s a really talented photographer as well as, of course, holding a doctorate in kitten-herding!
I NEED THIS JOB!! Oh how the sillies feed me! Also, why is no one giggling in the video?
I need a 10 hour loop of this STAT!
