If they all stayed as cute as that little guy, I might just want a kitten, but they turn into cats. :)

If you raise them right, they remain playful, affectionate, and lovable. It's people that lose interest in them once they start to grow that end up with the "cats" that you think of........

4 1/2 years... They said on FOX this morning that he was only 19 years old. SO - he wants the president to get McDonald’s to pay 19 year olds like they were 30 with technical degrees or something... Grow up, America. Get real. EARN something.

I’ve never found these cats funny and I never will. I wish everyone would stop with the cats, but it doesn’t seem likely.

Hey guys, can't you read? youngidiot (Since Jan 19, 2009) sez layoff with all the cat pics. He don't like 'em.

The cuteness in that picture is toooo powerful!

I wouldn’t want to meet the person who can resist that kind of cuteness.

Thanks for posting.

I've been reading here for a long time. Cats still aren't funny. No need to be a jerk.

Your posting history doesn't reflect it.

Cats still aren't funny.

They can be and you can simply not click on the threads.

No need to be a jerk.

Agreed, feel free to stop at any time.
