SPIDERCAT

THE. HORROR. THE. HORROR. (found on hidekiryuga.tumblr.com via Buzzfeed, thanks Susannah Breslin)

• [qousqous]

  I did a similar thing a couple years ago. For some reason, this just seems a natural thing to do to kittens.

• [Anonymous]

  That picture just made my co-worker cry.

  protoblog word.com collected similar images from 2000: http://web.archive.org/web/19970615075253/www.word.com/gigo/kittens/

  My hairdresser found a whole nest of these in my beehive one time.

• [Capissen]

  I’d ask for unicorns, but I’d be afraid they’d be spider unicorns, which is arguably more frightening.

• [Venice Hotels]

  Haha .. spider unicorn, my freaky imagination’s telling my how would might look a spider rabbit ..creappy .. like this quite little cat .. :).. cute animals are creappy “spiderish” … :-|

• [Anonymous]

  hahahahahahahaha.. well done! :)

• [Xeni Jardin]

  I hereby request that someone photoshop an awesome spiderunicorn.

  • [Rob Beschizza]

    Spidercorn.

    • [AirPillo]

      aaahhhhh!!!

      That set my arachnaphobia ablaze even more than the pictures of an actual big creepy spider linked above.

      *shudder* I need a shower now.

      • [Felton]

        Sorry about the creepy spider link, AirPillo. Sometimes I forget that not everyone is a freak like me who kind of likes spiders. ;-)

        • [AirPillo]

          My fault for clicking the link. I still thought it was neat even if it squicked me.

          I have a love/hate relationship with the things. If I see a really fascinating one I’ll spend some time looking at it and reading about it, even as I start to feel like every little tickle on my skin is a spider crawling on me (phobias really know how to get to you in such terrible ways).

          Sometimes it’s unfortunate being a curious person.

          Hehe! Well, that’s the internet for you. It’s both a paradise and a graveyard for curious souls. Maybe that’s why it’s made of cats.

  Then, of course, there’s the Cat-Faced Spider.

• [endymion]

  Aren’t we over this kind of thing? Maybe if this were 2001….

  Also, they’re supposed to have eight eyes.

  • [Terry]

    “Also, they’re supposed to have eight eyes.”

    Really? Because it’s half-spider, or because it’s half-cat?

    • [Felton]

      All I can say is that Spider-Man got off lucky.

    • [oohShiny]

      It’s the half-spider part responsible for the eight eyes. At least, in my breeding experiments. To that end, I also agree with Scuba SM @ #12:

      KILL IT WITH FIRE.

      • [Terry]

        Kill it with fire?

        Why not just sic the spiderunicorn on it?

• [Felton]

  Can it spin its own ball of yarn?

• [Scuba SM]

  Kill it with Fire.

• [23refugee]

  Please! Stop with the spider-cat prejudice.
  My aunt had one and it was the sweetest pet ever!

  • [oohShiny]

    She must have figured out how to breed out the desire to wreak vengeance on the natural world for its unnatural nature. That was always the sticking point.

    And Terry: Because Sleipnir doesn’t have a horn.

    • [23refugee]

      No, it was a rescue. Just nurture over nature is my guess.

      • [oohShiny]

        Does your aunt do adoptions? There’s this guy named Glen Beck that could really do with some of that ‘nurture’ thing, I think.

        • [23refugee]

          She’s kind hearted true, but I’m afraid that that’s one kitten she’d bag and toss in the creek for the good of the breed.

• [anacecitux]

  For a moment there I thought I was in 4chan

• [Anonymous]

  This picture is extremely disturbing.

• [Antinous / Moderator]

  How soon they forget.

• [igpajo]

  I’ve seen video of a Spider Dachsund!

• [Felton]

  Spider-cat thinks you all look funny too.

• [proletariat]

  I hereby request that someone photoshop an awesome spiderunicorn.

  The Internet brings all ideas to life with an even higher degree of horror. A flickr search reveals an image more terrifying than anything Photoshop’ed: SpiderGimpUniporn

  Why!? :(

• [Edman]

  Quick photoshop of Spider-Unicorn. Fortunately, all living specimens have died out.

  Spidercorn is scary!!!

• [Empt]

  Spider Cat looks just like ArachnaKitty, one of the Chapman Brothers paintings. It’s featured in a Derren Brown “trick”……..

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOR9nokhueY

  The painting is shown at around the :30 mark, but I highly recommend everyone watches the rest of the segment……It’s Too Cool…..

• [Anonymous]

  Spider cat, spider cat, does whatever a spider cat does, can he swing from a web? No he can’t, he’s a… wait… wtf is he?

• [Alex]

  I can has rule 34?

• [Anonymous]

  Its not only a spider-cat.. Its a ginger spidercat. It has no soul!

• [Anonymous]

  It still somehow looks cute to me…

• [Pipenta]

  Problem here, with the ‘cat ‘n’ the ‘corn; necks.

  You see, if you have all those eyes, you don’t need no neck. No, wait, that’s not it. If you have a neck, you don’t need all those eyes. Spiders got lotsa eyes. Spiders got lotsa legs. Spiders got no neck. Instead they got fused body segments, a cephalothorax. PhotoShop THAT my pretties. PhotoShop a kitty and a unicorn and Toby McGuire with no freakin’ neck, with their heads fused to their chests.

  Oh yes, and then we’ll have some nightmares worth having.

• [Anonymous]

  I can has flies?

• [Anonymous]

  It does have 8 eyes: like spiders, two eyes are at the back of its head

• [tsukiii]

  I have to admit that I find spidercat disturbingly cute… must be because it’s still small and fluffy. Or because I need some serious mental help.

• [proletariat]

  Incidentally, as a gay dude, this is what I’ve always imagined a pussy would look like.

  • [23refugee]

    From what I gather, the newer models usually have the fur trimmed and a tattoo just above the tail.

  • [benher]

    Your comment made me snort beer out of my nose.

    …which is pretty good considering Spider-cat made me snort poo out of my rear.

• [thefuture]

  Spiderbaby is not scared.
