No I cannot resist. Ever. Damn you all. Every time I get my voice back from squeeling at the last cat thread that’s been posted, someone comes along and…SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!  
Chao (future cat-hoarding shut-in 😉 )

Here’s a [pic](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/strangelove1972/detail?.dir=ccd0&.dnm=600d.jpg&.src=ph) of the orange kitty in the pretzel right after he snorted his first breath of air.

Just don’t get your face anywhere near those paws! 😃

Major cat lover checking in here. I collect all the cat pics I see linked. Someday I’ll get my cat pics on Webshots or Photobucket so I can share them with everyone here.

I only read the ones that appear to be cat-friendly. Others get really ugly, really quickly.

Yup, I’m a clicker. Cats, dogs, horses, mongooses (mongeese?), camels, porcupines… if it’s about an animal, I’ll click that link.

I’m a sucker for cats. Just thinking about cats doin’ cat stuff brings an uncontrollable smile to my face, whether they’re stretching, playing, or even sleeping while rolled into balls or loaves. As a result of not being allowed to have any pets where I currently live, I live vicariously through Dopers and other cat owners and the cute kitty pictures they post online.

I’m a sucker for all things cat…I open pretty much every thread, even this one I knew was a trap!

Here is one man who claims to have the cutest cat in the universe:

Me!

And may I just say, what a GYP it is that there are no cats, ('specially kittens), in this cat thread?
