Wilford Brimley and the five cats who resemble him

I don't often post about cats, but I'm impressed that Gato Island managed to find five (not one, but five) cats that bear a striking resemblance to Wilford Brimley. Link (via Digg)

• [aliciainwonderland]

  its nice to see how 4chan memes infiltrate the rest of the net.

• [noen]

  Shouldn’t be too hard to find a cat that looks like Mark or Xeni, David’s gonna be tough to find though.

• [Takuan]

  Sphinx or Rex

• [aelfscine]

  Try to imagine the cats eating his face after the diabeetus kills him. That’ll cheer you up.

  “It hurts me to pee and it causes me to be short with my family. I can’t sleep at night. The other day I stubbed my toe and I took it out on the dog. And two weeks ago I ran out of vanilla ice cream and struck my wife. Then I find out my wife’s been dead for six years. Who the hell did I hit?!”

• [mrfitz]

  That’s lord Brimley to you.

• [ernie]

  “Won’t get sick, won’t get any older and you won’t ever MEOW”

• [Teej]

  Life is good.

• [mwiik]

  Anyone else constantly hitting refresh waiting for L’il Bro to be made available?

• [padster123]

  I suspect that it’s Brimley that resembles cats (generic) rather than individual cats resembling him (individual).

• [arkizzle]

  Antinous

  Here is a cat that looks a lot like Cory

• [franko]

  @5 – nope, it’s clearly the cats that look like HIM, lol.

• [brandihendrix]

  Wilford Brimley scares me. In his commercials he comes off as a cranky old man who is yelling at me to eat my oatmeal and buy diabetes testing supplies.

  These cats are kinda scary as well…

• [Takuan]

  the izzle FTW!

• [Cat Chew]

  Last time I saw Brimley

• [Antinous]

  That is front page material.

• [Antinous]

  I call upon the people of the world to find cats that look like Cory.

• [Takuan]

  does Cory own a Mao hat?

• [Pipenta]

  Gene Shallot had a cat that looked just like him.

  It didn’t seem angry like teh Brimley kitteh clearly iz.

• [flamingphonebook]

  Catfood: it’s the right thing to do, and a tasty way to do it.

  Enzo Petito, separated at birth?

• [clueless in brooklyn]

  I put this picture up in my cubicle this morning and it has been quite a hit. Everyone, including our Beijing transplant, knows who Wilford is. Good stuff. Not sure what this has to do with technology, but I’m down and it’s Friday. woohoo.

• [multivitamim]

  I hope those cats know that the cost of their dia-be-tiss testing supplies may be covered by Medicare.
