Something WICKED this way comes...

My cable modem isn't working at home, so I am dialing in on the phone all old-school with AOL!! It has taken me 22.8 minutes to log on. So if you emailed me lately and haven't gotten a response you know why. I'm on the Internets circa 1995 here.

I believe this montage is called "Evil Cute Cats Plot Human Death."

i just knew someone would beat me...i am such a slow typer...curse the keyboard!

HA! Dialup! Welcome to my world, sister--every damn day. Hate you grad school poverty!

I'm glad I'm not the only one whose pets have evil deathray eyes. But ohmigod, the snuggly? On the couch? Do they do that all the time? I would die just of the cute.

Posted by: Ashley at May 14, 2005 11:41 AM

omigod, if my cats ever got that close, it wouldn't just be a missing fang that happened, I tell ya. Way to keep the kitty feet warm though - they've got that part down!

So sad.... I hate dial up too. Last time I moved I had it for a few weeks waiting for the DSL service to start. It was so barbaric.

*Aunt Purl the Barbarian*

Cleo tries to kill me by casually walking the direction I'm walking then doing a quick reverse triple flip and landing on her back stretched out perpendicular like a speed bump, her giant pink nipples blinding me. One day I believe she will succeed in killing me and taking over the house completely.

Please contain the evil within your immediate area. Arnold does NOT need to be getting any ideas! (I wonder if wearing an aluminum foil cap would stop Roy's kitty death rays????? I wonder if I could get Arnold to try???? hehehehe)

If my cats ever got that close together, fur would fly...

Posted by: Mary at May 14, 2005 02:18 PM

Nah. They're not plotting our demise. Who'd clean the litterboxes and open cans?

They're just reminding you that they're all-knowing and all powerful.

I used to read to my cat out of my Calculus textbook. She'd look at me, yawn, and snort, as if to say, "What? Are you dummies still working on THAT?"

Posted by: Colleen at May 14, 2005 02:57 PM

Please tell me Aunt Purl, how do you manage not to have sofa and cushions covered in cat hair?????? What's the secret?! I have 5 kitties, am a bit of a clean freak, but can't keep up with the hair. My knitting is usually inch-deep in it too!

Posted by: Eileen at May 14, 2005 03:24 PM

I love the cuteness! I would be a cat person if dh wasn't so allergic, so instead I have 3 dogs and 2 goats.. I love the pics of your cats.

Posted by: IdahoHeidi at May 14, 2005 06:59 PM

And where's Bob in all this? Did they tie him up and lock him in the closet?

Posted by: La at May 14, 2005 07:50 PM

There must be an evil cat working in customs.. still no present. They probably stole it and are replacing it with Catnip. It doesn't matter really my day couldn't get any worse - I had to have a bath... I did make three new pals on dogster though...

rotfl!!! those pics are hilarious!!!! but some cats are like that too! i love it how it was portrayed like that in the photographs. shejustwalkswithit is right, you are funny. glad i ventured over!

Posted by: j2 at May 14, 2005 10:15 PM

My kitties are about identical, so when they lie on the couch a certain way it looks like I have a one-headed, eight-legged, two-tailed cat. Or that they're the first orange tiger Siamese twins.

Hey, how does Roy get along on the one fang? My boys have congenitally bad teeth, and I live in fear that their teeth are gonna fall out. (They would apparently rather be toothless than have their teeth brushed, and professional cleaning is ridiculously expensive and requires general anaesthesia and only lasts about 4 months.)

And people tell me I'm turning into a cat lady. Hah! Oh, wait....

Posted by: Anne at May 14, 2005 10:46 PM

Dial up? Oh my...that's very sad.

Okay, your cats totally look like they're conniving something evil together. I would be very very afraid.

sorry about your internets but I love the pictures of your knit group-so glad you found one you like! Jane

Bob was probably licking his paws somewhere. There are those that take over the world and do all the work and there are those that reap the benefits.

Sheba my cat, after having a "sanitary clipping" (cat for bikini wax) last week, has now decided to forgive me. Whoops, no. She's staring holes in my back. (She's almost 19, insulin dependent diabetic, Empress of the Universe, etc.)

Dialing in? Dialing in? Wow.

Love the cats. Are the like mine and suddenly begin fighting if you "catch" them hanging out looking a bit too chummy?

Our house...

"I love you Jack"
"I love you too, Bailey...Oh crap! Moms coming! Quick, bite me!!!"

Posted by: Shelly (Scarrgo) at May 15, 2005 05:35 PM

Your Sobakowa looks a lot like my Velvet!

And ack to dial up! I think I would just pass out if my cable modem was out... *gets weak in the knees at the thought*

Posted by: Lisa P at May 15, 2005 05:39 PM

Oh those evil glowing eyes! They gave me nightmares when I was a kid.... and as for the cat breath, oh lordie! Given a choice of nathan's farts or the cats' breath, I am not sure which I would choose.
I don't believe I just wrote that. LOL

Posted by: Lynne S of Oz at May 16, 2005 02:12 AM

Oh, quit your whining. Welcome to my world. Dial-Up is my ONLY option. No cable in the middle of no where!

Posted by: Crystal at May 16, 2005 05:59 AM

My cat Sunny would very much like to hook up with Sobakowa and Roy to plot the domination of the human race. He already thinks he's king of the world...what with all the special treatment he gets at home 'cause of his age and his general cranky attitude. I'm pretty sure Sobakowa could keep him in line, though. :)

Posted by: Bad Hippie at May 16, 2005 06:38 AM

Ha! AOL Dialup is my worst nightmare! ieeee! Run away!

Those cats are eeeevil! too cute!

Posted by: heather at May 16, 2005 09:16 AM

Crazy Aunt Purl, you must drop everything and go immediately to www.mycathatesyou.com and submit these pics. I bet they'd win a prize. I'm proud to say that all three of our cats have been featured on that pinnacle of evil catdom.

Posted by: Nick at May 16, 2005 03:52 PM

Bummer! Heather beat me! go to my cat hates you NOW!
I just started reading you again. I think I lost your link in one of the great meltdowns.
