Yep, these are the newest additions to the Futrelle household. They’re named after characters on Mr. Show: Professor Murder (a rapper) and Sweetie Pie Jonus (an imprisoned rap mogul who turns out to be a kitten). I’ve given Prof. Murder the nickname Pantz, short for “sillypants,” and that’s what I usually call her. They have an astonishing amount of energy, and spend much of the day tearing about the apartment, wrestling, and trying to walk across my keyboard. I will post some better pictures once I get them to stay still long enough for me to get good shots of them. Sweetie Pie has some amazing wild-looking markings which don’t really show up all that well in these pictures.
Yes, Pantz does look a bit like my old cat Bobo. She was also (how’s this for weird) born on the day that Bobo died. I don’t know what to make of that.
Also, as you may have noticed, the two of them have managed to transfer every bit of dust and crud in the apartment onto the couch.
So cute! Some day I’m going to get a proper grown-up job and a non-rented flat. Then i’ll get kitties. Some day.
KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
I’ve considered getting a second cat for a long time, but I don’t know how my current cat would handle it. She doesn’t really like cats.
Thanks everyone! These crappy pix don’t fully capture their incredible cuteness.
Or their destructive power. When they’re not careening around the apartment chasing each other, wrestling, or clambering over my keyboard, they are exploring every inch of the apartment looking for things to chew on or knock over. Constant motion.
Since I started writing this, the two have wrestled, one has chewed on my headphone cord, and the two have chased each other into the living room and leapt over me and my laptop on the couch … twice, happily not hitting any of the keys on my laptop except the caps lock key. Now they’re in my bedroom, doing who knows what terrible things.
Karalora, your cat sounds like my old cat. She was jealous of anyone and any cat that got the attention she felt she exclusively deserved. During the relatively brief time she shared an apartment with another cat, they each claimed their own territory and would almost never venture into the other cat’s territory.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Kittens! They are too cute.
A co-worker of mine has five kittens that need homes, I walked away all, “LALALALA, CAN’T HEAR YOU” because we are full up on catness.
@hellkell- yeah, me too. I’ve got two cats, and they’re already a little edgy with each other. One more might just be the firestorm.
And don’t get me started on the dog….
Oh, how gloriously adorable!
So cute. I love Sweetie Pie’s nonchalant pose, such a natural in front of the camera!
I love kittens. When my youngest cat, Mose, was a baby he would sit on my computer desk in front of the monitor and stare at the screen. If I picked him up and put him on the ground he’d just get right back up there, so eventually I’d give up and try peeking around him. The other hilarious thing he would do is sit on my stomach if I was on the floor trying to do crunches. I’d start laughing so hard he’d be bouncing up and down, looking at me like, “What?” He still tries to squeeze into the bathroom sink even though he weighs 15 pounds now.
KITTEERS! :3333
I have two orange brothers. They’re four years old but they still like to destroy things. But then they stop to make out with each other, and it’s just sooooooooooooooooooo cute.
Yay, Kittunias! Congratulations, David, they are adorable. Keep the pix coming!
I am jealous – silver tabbies!
YAY KITTENS!
My husband works from home and Nutmeg likes to sleep between the keyboard and the monitor. Once Nutmeg made an appointment in Outlook for him called WSZZZZZZZZZZZZ. It was a vacation appointment, of course.
Do Pantz and Pie get along well with each other? You should have them write a guest post, about cats’ rights and human privilege.
Sweetie Pie looks a bit like my little Anne when she was still a kitten and not her rangy self today.
I miss having a kitten but then a small condo is not good for more than two pets.
Mr. Show and cats: two of the best things in the world. You win, sir. You win.
I seriously just registered in order to commend your fine taste in comedy programs and pets. That’s how impressed I am.
@ blitzgal
My old cat sat on me when I did crunches too! I figured he was trying to help out by adding a weightlifting component to my workout. Cats are such givers, you know?
In case my last comment gave the wrong impression, I am generally impressed by your website. Not just the awesomeness of your cat-naming skills. So… yep. [I am awkward.]
It’s probably more like “so when you’re done with this, it’s food time, right?” 😛
@ clairedammit, what a perfect appointment title for a Cat Butler (the official title you and your husband are entitled to). Obviously, Nutmeg was assigning your husband to a lengthy cat-cuddling session, involving much purring! WSZZZZZZZZZZ, indeed.
D’AWWWWW KITTIES!!
“Guess I might as well get on Tumblr and feel smugly superior to those whose greatest controversy ever is Doctor/Rose v. Doctor/Jack.”
How is that a hard question? Doctor/Jack/Rose very nearly actually happened at the end of season 1…
Can I just say – the fact that so many ManBoobz threads end up touching on the subject of Doctor Who just makes me love David and all the regulars here. Awesome.
Was Bobo the Avatar? If so, the Avatar’s spirit was reincarnated into Pantz. (As you can tell, I love “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and “The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra.”) 😛
