I am *totally* that crazy cat lady, because this video just cracks me up, and I've watched it about five times. This is what my cats will look like once I get them on their diet and exercise regimen. And once I move to England.

Well... once you get their diet & exercise, move to England, AND, get their facial hair bleached.
Why is it funny when a cat mocks the adult in charge, but it's significantly less so when my kids do? Next time, I'm having cats instead.

"Woman!! How many different times and ways do I have to say , 'No!'"
The best part is when she starts negotiating at the end. "Ten more minutes."
Brilliant.

And of course, you've already seen "Today is an *outside* day," right?

That poor cat lady took 8 kinds of crap for posting her cat chat. No good deed, right?

shari: maybe you need to get your kids an outdoor carrier for them to sit in and it will seem funnier.
htgt: woman = 0, cat = 1. i also liked the, "are you being cheeky?" "mew."
communicatrix: yes, i did see that and thought it was really cute, too! people who complained must not have cats, because the reality is that no matter which side of the door a cat is on, he suddenly wants to be on the other side.

Wow, that woman is way more patient than I would be--I would have reached in and dragged my cat out about 30 minutes into that saga.
I feel shame.

Poor cat. I think he was just hungover. That noise clearly meant "please stop talking to me my head is pounding."

Call me crazy cat lady too because I can't stop watching this! Did you know they have a crazy cat lady action figure?
Here's a picture of my niece "riding" him at three-months-old. He's fatter now.
(Email me if the link doesn't work.)

but that kitty sounded so sad... Is that just 'cause I don't know any Siamese cats?
Posted by: mainja at February 8, 2008 02:48 PM
cheryl: and that, my friend, is why no one posts your cat videos on youtube. :)
vahid: sounds like you're speaking from experience.
pants: see? he doesn't look all that fat to me. maybe that's my problem - i'm an enabler.
mainja: yes, siamese cats are pretty whiny sounding normally. i always call my girl cat the saddest cat in the whole world, because her meow is so pathetic. once i was on a phone interview and the recruiter thought my baby was crying. she probably didn't appreciate it when i yelled, "you need to stop whining and jump down from that refrigerator NOW!"

So is it more pathetic that she had the conversation (at all) with the cat or that she videotaped it?
Posted by: robin at February 8, 2008 10:18 PM
robin, robin, robin. clearly you are not a cat owner, because i have conversations like that with my cats all the time, except they usually revolve around when they're going to start doing more work around the house.

Oh my god I can't stop watching this. What's this camouflage bunker she's built in the yard, anyway?
Posted by: ashbloem at February 13, 2008 09:07 PM
ash: i'm so glad to hear that, because i seriously have now watched this like 20 times. i love the camo hut she's built for alaska!
Posted by: jenny at February 13, 2008 09:46 PM
That's hilarious! I love how she negotiates with the cat, and the cat's all 'fine!'.
Are you seriously moving to England? I moved to London 6 years ago from Canada...
