  I see diabeetus here, here, over there, here, oh man he’s got diabeetus too, that bird, this squirrel, hey, you too camera man!  Oh, here, here, there, here, and even here.  Whoops!  Not there.  But over here, yeah, here too.  [sigh] so much diabeetus, so little time.

• [ab167]

  I watched this on the treadmill, and my BPM dropped about twenty points. THANKS FOR RUINING MY CARDIO.

  To be clear Xeni, I am not accusing anyone of anything: (cough2:50cough):

  And yes, I get the irony of this post. ;)

  Brimley cat, Brimley cat,
  Knows just where the oatmeal’s at.
  Can he smell? Listen, bud —
  He’s sniffing around with that squished-in mug.
  Look out! There sits a Brimley cat.

  Feline and Fancy-Free.

  Can someone explain Lord Buckley’s ears to me? Is cat ear cropping a thing?

  • [Lauryl Berg]

    Those ears belong to a lovely and good-natured breed of cat known as the Scottish Fold — the eyes are indicative of the British Shorthair which figures in to the Scottish Fold breeding pool…

    • [emschelle]

      Thanks muchly; I didn’t realize folds came in such fluffy varieties=)

      • [erkskindl]

        Lord Buckley is beyond the fluff.  He is Lord.

  • [erkskindl]

    He’s a Scottish Fold.  They are actually born like that.  Not always though.  Sometimes they are a born with straight ears.  But Lord Buckley is a genuine Scottish Fold.

• [Alex]

  Look at that big ball of fluff.

• [Jim Harris]

  It’s like Jabba The Hut and an owl mated but the foetus didn’t develop properly in the womb and then when it came out it landed in a pile of fluff. It’s back end is like just the merest suggestion of a cat. A wisp of cotton candy. Can I have 5:46 of my life back please?

  • [KBert]

    Yes, there’s definitely an owl in there!

• [Lester Nelson]

  Looks like it was shot using the same equipment Stanley Kubrick used to shoot Barry Lyndon.

  • [erkskindl]

    That’s good. 

• [social_maladroit]

  There once was a cat so well-bred
  That his onlookers’ faces turned red.
  His incorporation
  Caused great consternation –
  “Oh my God! A fluff-ball with a head!”

• [ADavies]

  “What’re you doing?”  “Oh, you know, just, watchin’ stuff.”

• [FutureNerd]

  He is sitting in “playin’ the cello” position for five minutes being distracted from his bath! & the fluff in the foreground is his tail.  My back hurts.

  a little zen with my morning cup o’ joe

• [KatoKitty]

  Aw man, that was so calming. I like watching my cats when they’re looking around like that. You can see them engaging their senses; their ears twitch and swivel, their nostrils dilate as they take in odours. Cats are fascinating.

• [Cicada Mania]

  Truly scrumptious!

• [MDwebguy]

  I watched the video unfold, wondering and waiting for the cat to do something.
  Somewhere around the 4:00 mark I gently reminded myself, “Dude, it’s a cat.”

• [charmingquark]

  Scottish folds are known for making a habit of sitting in that “Buddha kitteh” pose.

• [Nancy Edwards]

  kitteh,
  so ephemeral and lovely! I want to be a kitteh, too…
