Offbeat: Catstravaganza’s last, but not least: A cat sitting in the sink

Aww, kitty clogged the drain
  • We’ve seen so many cat photos today that our brain is about to explode with cuteness. But we had to do it. It was for the common good of society. This last photo comes from Nicole Bogdas. It’s of Dillinger, one of many gangster-themed cats she named in her e-mail. You’ve got all the makings of a crazy cat lady, Nicole!source

U.S.: Near the finish line: These cats strike fear in our hearts

  • Meet the uber-evil kitty Kitty, owned by friend of the site David Putney, is perhaps the scariest, most violent cat you’ll ever meet. According to Putney, she was getting agitated because we took so long to actually get her up. Hopefully she won’t claw our faces now.

  • Meet Buster, a.k.a. Mr. Yawny Lucas McCallister sent us this wonderful photo of a cat yawning which somehow makes us never want to be near a yawning cat ever again. Look at those freaking teeth! They could bite off a finger – or kill an unsuspecting mouse or two!

    Buster yawning. Scary.

Offbeat: Catstravaganza: Our girlfriend is a cat. No, really, guys.

Yeah, she can be part of the 09/09/09 catstravaganza, too, in part because if we didn’t, we’d be in the doghouse. And that’s not where we want to be.
