this cat has been scaring residents of an Israeli housing block, apparently because it’s black.
I, on the other hand was terrified by the fact that it is plainly evil.
I can’t get its face out of my mind. I’ll be avoiding dark places tonight, I will. :eek:
Dang, that thing looks like it should have 8 legs and be waylaying hobbits.
Niiicccce kitty…
AwWwww… Wook at the kitty-witty fuzzy boo-boo!
Have to beep his nose! Yes we do! We hafta beep the wuzzy kitty’s nose…
EEEEeeeeYYAAAAaaAAAAGH!
awwww, look… he’s smiling.
black cats tend to look a bit fiercer than other kittys.
that cat is giving me hunger pains . . .
That picture is hilarious. It should be sent to mycathatesyou.com immediately.
Now that’s a Catula if I’ve ever seen one!
(He’s actually pretty cute!!)
One Halloween a few years back, Anne Rice was in town for a book signing. I was happy enough to attend even without my boyfriend (stupid jerk HAD to go out of town for business, SHEESH!) and made my way down to the bookstore. About a thousand other fans had the same idea and the line wound around the shopping center a few times. I was lucky and got to cut in line thanks to this friendly, lil’ guy and his kid (he took pity on me, noticed how shy I was, I guess… AND I’m getting to the point soon, just you wait). There was a general friendly feeling to the crowd and some brought games like Twister and checkers to play.
This woman and her husband had brought their cat (THE POINT, yay!) and were pushing him around in a little, homemade coffin. The cat was decked out in a vampire cape and he was all black (duh). His canines were LONGER than a normal cat’s canines, they stuck out from his lip, hence the vampire theme. I thought it was pretty hokey but the cat was very patient with his silly owners and let them push him around in his coffin. People were getting pictures with the cat and he did have a vampy name on a sign but I forgot what it was. Point being that he was a black cat and he was vampish (Catula post made me think of it). He didn’t look scary though, he looked bored.
It ain’t just black cats that can look devilish. Torties can look downright fiendish, even when they’re merely commenting on the day’s events.
Sanguine Spider, that Catula cat sounds really cool. What a good kitty, to let itself be dressed up. Hee! And to be pushed around in a homemade mini-coffin.
On a related note, I have a friend who at one time owned eight cats… she was a writer for a now-defunct art/mayhem magazine. She had an “advice” column called “Ask D. Catula”. We’d been joking about the Catula thing for a long time prior to her writing for the magazine, I guess, and she thought it would be funny to work the joke into her byline.
And EddyTeddyFreddy, that there Tortoiseshell is a mighty pretty kitty! Seemingly demonic perhaps, but very sweet all the same. I looove Calicos and Torties. I always wanted a big fat Calico named Betsy.
I swear that is a picture of my cat (the Israeli one). Same face, same eyes, same expression. The secret with cats like that is to let them be. If you leave them alone when they want to be left alone, everyone is ok. If not, not. It’s very simple.
And strange. I knew my kitty went outside, but I’m not quite sure how he’s making it to Israel and back a few times a day.
I had a cat that looked like that once. Named Loki.
I miss Loki.
Cat lover that I am that beastie scares the bejesus out of me! :eek:
Orders to hold the cat so other residents can climb the stairs seem a bit OTT but would you go down to the pound and pick that fella out? 
If you think he’s cute, you’re obviously suffering from this
Sir Doris, that’s got to be it! I am obviously being manipulated by kitty cats from the inside out, as it were! Parasites from cat poo indeed! Dude, that’ll do it every time.(That’s what I get for not insisting that my mom empty the cat box when we had Clawdia, who was certainly the Diva in Residence at our house.)
And thanks for the cool links, Bosda!! I already forwarded the pic of the batwinged Devil Kitty to three of my friends! 
I had a tortie named Sage. She was very sweet and shy, and had this drooling problem. She never looked evil or demonic, she never got mad at all.
Her drooling was the only “bad” thing about her and it wasn’t really a bad thing. She’d get all drooly when she was petted, I think it was the shape of her mouth. You’d pet her and she’d get all drowsy and purr like mad, then drip drip drip. Not bad, just a wee bit strange. Vet said she was fine though. She looked a lot like ETF’s tortie in the pic but chubbier.
Yeesh. It was something of a shock when the picture came up, but not for the reason you might think. I had a prof in college (taught thermodynamics of all things) who would occasionally come to class dressed all in black with one of those big quartz crystal necklaces that new-agers seem to favor. The weirdest part of the outfit though, was a belt-buckle made of wood (i think) that was cut in the shape of a cat’s head and painted to look JUST LIKE THE CAT IN THE OP!!! After the first two or three times wearing that outfit, we dubbed her “scary belt-buckle lady”.
That black cat isn’t even in a bad mood. He’s obviously just saying “meow”. His ears are erect, his pupils aren’t fully dilated, and you can’t even see all his teeth. That is most definitely not a scary cat.
This, on the other hand, is one scary fucking cat.
I thought you were talking about this freak. That kitty looked precious.
