No, I don’t have any, I’m actually in the search for some, in calendar form, that is. Last year, I purchased two separate calendars because I simply couldn’t decide between two choices: hot half-naked men, and kittens. I realized this year in my search for a new calendar that the ultimate calendar would be… hot half-naked men _and_ kittens, combined. I can’t be the only one who would enjoy such a sight each month of the year, correct? Then why on earth can’t I find such a calendar? So perhaps the Dope can put its searching capabilities to work for me. Have you ever seen, or can you find, a calendar of hot, half-naked men, holding adorable fluffy kittens? Because I want one, and am willing to pay handsomely for one(okay maybe up to like $25 or so, but that’s pretty handsomely for a calendar). If one does not exist, perhaps this is a market we should be tapping into? I would also accept hot men and puppies, as dogs are cute too when they’re little and floppy. ---

I have a theory that a television channel that shows nothing but romping kittens would be a smashing success. I think your theory of hot men with kittens would also work. Maybe some photoshop work of Keanu Reeves holding a wee little kitty. Mmmm, Keanu and kittens…I’m sorry, what was I saying? ---

[QUOTE=featherlou] I have a theory that a television channel that shows nothing but romping kittens would be a smashing success. [/QUOTE] Well, since you mentioned it… Animal Planet (the channel, not the alien world of cuteness) hosts an annual PuppyBowl ([pic](http://shopping.discovery.com/DiscoveryStore/images/products/largenew/745042_lg.jpg) [pic](http://willdo.philadelphiaweekly.com/archives/020206puppybowl.jpg) + [pic](http://img183.exs.cx/img183/821/puppybowl27fj.th.jpg)) to run opposite the SuperBowl halftime show. I tried to find pictures of the KittenBowl, but all I kept finding were pictures of cats in actual bowls. Surprisingly, it gets kinda boring quickly. ---

Juxtaposed, or simply on the same page? The latter would be easy to make; the former perhaps easy for someone with some photo-editing skills. ---

No, no, the kittens need to be furry. The guys don’t need be huge, either, just deliciously hunky. Think we could add food in some of the pics? The end result, if done right, would be so sinful we oughta send the Pope a few copies for laughs. ---

Whoever makes this calendar, I’d like to preorder one for me and one for my sister. Just make sure the men are hot and the kittens are cute. ---

I just told hubby to suggest adding kittens to the local firefighter calendar next year. This year is already on the newsstands. ( No, hubby isn’t in it. He tells people he was month 13.) ---

Hmm. I know a very good photographer who could probably be persuaded to do something like this. Pity he lives out in the boonies… Can’t help on the subject matter though. ---

Apropos of not very much, a Google image search for “man with kitten” produces some… er… _interesting_ results. [Link](http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=man+with+kitten). (Far and away my favorite on the first page is the fourth result, the newspaper cover.) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hot-men-holding-kittens-or-possibly-puppies/387662.md?page=2)
