Cat Survives 19 Days with Peanut Butter Jar on Head "In a bizarre example of a cat’s nine lives, a fortunate feline survived nineteen days with a peanut butter jar stuck on its head. While no exact details are known as to how the jar found its way there in the first place (cats like peanut butter?), we’re pretty sure Jiffy will be off the menu from now on."

This sounds like an Onion article, but it isn't. (it's my first post, be gentle)

  • What, you couldn't find a single YouTube link?
  • Well,Snopes had nothing negative to say about it, so it appears to be on the up-and-up. But, Sloot, it's better to give us something that actually prompts discussion. I'm sad the cat went through that, and glad that he was released, but what else is there to say? And, don't feel bad. My first post was about rodeos.
  • I bet if they'd had access to my pubes, they could have gotten the cat out and cleaned up the peanut butter. Funny post, and congrats on your first.
  • Pffft! Good post, Sloot. Glad you joined the ranks of irresponsible posters. Don't listen to path. After all, we built this filter on rock and roll cockpunch and poptarts. One of the most notorious and longest running posts *evar* was Daisy May--boy, did THAT generate the comments! and there was some stupid thing about peeing in the forest....?? Ya never know what might spark a discussion. We looooooves our kitties and other pets (like the wild PeteBests) Squeeeeeee has sent us ....squeeeing. And occasionally, ever so often, just once in a while, we'll get a long running political post. (which will gag us and send us running for some squeeeee or a kitty to hug. Some of the most fun we've had were generated by silly things. That said, next time try harder. Like Mr. Wingo said: It's your duty to post a YouTube link Blackburn said the cat may have lived off of its excess fat. That and half a jar of peanut butter! Ya done good, Sloot.
  • What rubbish writing. We never find out if it was smooth or crunchy.
  • The peanut butter was smooth, the cat was crunchy. RIMSHOT!
  • Mmmm, Catnut butter!
  • It's better than what I usually post.
  • Perfectly acceptable post. And fun too! I thought cats had the whiskers so they didn't shove their heads where they won't fit?
  • Two great tastes that taste great together.
  • There's plenty to discuss. Like the out-of-control feral cat population in the US. Cats suffer every day because there are too many of them and too few people to feed/care for them.
  • Or not enough peanut butter jars.
  • Or pubes.
  • I haz a space helmit
  • Good first post, Sloot! The phrase "Cat Survives 19 Days with Peanut Butter Jar on Head" will be running through my head all day. Of course, any sentence is improved with the addition of the words "peanut butter jar." I had one of them there hidey-cats. She spat at me once for even LOOKING into her main hidey-hole. What made it harder is, apart from a small size difference and a white tip on her tail, she was virtually identical to her littermate. So, I could never be 100% sure if I had seen her for the past month or not. Her full name was "Crabby Abby, the Tip-Tail Tabby."
  • Let's test the theory: Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this peanut butter jar continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that peanut butter jar nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great peanut butter jar battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final peanut butter jar resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this, peanut butter jar. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this peanut butter jar ground. The brave men, living and peanut-butter-jar-dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here, peanut butter jar. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished peanut butter jar work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that peanut butter jar cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
  • I can understand the not having food thing, but how'd the cat make it sans water? You can live without food for an amazingly long time (especially if you have some, er, stored energy here and there) but no water is a big problem after a very short amount of time. Dang lucky cat!
  • See, Ralph? MUCH better! If only Mr. Lincoln had had a jar of Skippy sitting around, imagine the heights to which his rhetoric could have soared! Abby and her brother
  • Funny? How? I know that I've had a hard time finding my sense of humor lately, but please explain what's funny about this.
  • I demand that The Underpants Monster's mofi identity be re-branded as The Underpants Peanut Butter Jar Monster.
  • Path, I doubt any of us would think this was funny if the cat had gone to the Great Peanut Butter Jar in the Sky. We're laughing as a release from the tension. But peanut butter is a fun and funny thing related to our childhood. Children love kitties. As adults we know that peanut butter is a condiment savored by children. We also know that cats are smart and supercilious and often behave in an arrogant manner, and often prove us fools, thus rendering our self-image null. We also know that cats can be extremely amusing and that there are whole websites dedicated to the LOLs that cats get up to. Therefore, the fact that a cat sticks it's head in a peanut butter jar, coating it's face with peanutty goodness, is amusing to us. In conclusion, peanut butter is a happy thing, cats are funny, we're elated the cat is alive...what's not to celebrate? TUM, is that Crabby Abby with the Fiery Eyes of Death? I lubs me some tiger kitties!
  • HawthorneWingo : This is the closest I could get
  • Yep, Abby's the one with lasers on.
  • PATH! Lighten up or you get the 'Kitfisto Lovin' Special', which is normally reserved for the Cappy, and even then only on Thursday evenings. And Sloot - try and work some Dogs In Shawls into your next post and you'll be fine. Now then, who want to warm up unky kit?
  • I have some pepper spray, that's pretty warm.
  • *zips*
  • I've had a hard time finding my sense of humor lately Hope things are okay, path.
