Please take more pictures & post an entire album of this & link me!!!

[–]Edenstone 69 points70 points ago

This is hilarious. I suggest a picture book. And then publish it - your karma machines will turn into money makers. I mean, look what happened with the Wal-Mart picture book... Millions.

[–]Captain_Generous 31 points32 points ago

He doesn't want money. Just karma. Karma is the most important thing ever!

[–]Edenstone 17 points18 points ago

Sure, until he goes to purchase something with pieces of paper labeled "karma"

[–]AlKanzel 1 point2 points ago

Then the solution is to give karma actual monetary value. Anyone can purchase my karma at a 1:1$ USD ratio!

[–]SleepEatRepeat 4 points5 points ago

"Karma Koins" are a type of online currency from Nexon

[–]zyenide 1 point2 points ago

According to the internet you can buy karma for 8c from "Artificial Artificial Intelligence" I'd rather spend money building an elaborate cat house and let them loose in there with a camera set to record the glory, then REAP ALL THE KARMA

[–]ace_2 1 point2 points ago

Haha, somehow I read that as monkey makers...

[–]noxyrew 142 points143 points ago

Yes! I was so convinced for a moment that this was a shopped photo but it makes it even better that it is a dollhouse.

[–]iLOVEdux 66 points67 points ago

The YouTube commenter in me was all, "FAKE AND GAAaa... oh... dollhouse".

[–]bwillb 43 points44 points ago

more like "OOOoohhh a dollhouse! FAAAAABUULOOOOUS!"

[–]fireatx[S] 27 points28 points ago

I've got a mine of these, I'll be posting sometime soon, hopefully.

[–]jcmc2112 4 points5 points ago

I will give you an upvote if you do.

[–]thane_of_cawdor 3 points4 points ago

[–]LoadInSubduedLight 2 points3 points ago

What are you waiting for? The internet needs more pictures of giant cats in normal sized houses!

[–]cvirtuoso 55 points56 points ago

There needs to be an entire subreddit devoted to cats in dollhouses.

[–]JoelQ 4 points5 points ago

This isn't a dollhouse. This is actually a screenshot from the upcoming film, Clifford the Big Red Dog 2 : Cat Edition. In theaters this summer.

[–]KhalDrogo 7 points8 points ago

Don't feed it after midnight they said.

It will be easy they said.

[–]7hecaptain 22 points23 points ago

i second this!

[–]lklklklklklklklklk 3 points4 points ago

I'd love to see the photo set, this makes me want to get a doll house, looks like an awesome playground for a little kitten!

[–]richworks 3 points4 points ago

Check out this fan made video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdqvvRs9zUw&t=16s

I'm sure you won't be disappointed :)

[–]BatGuano 2 points3 points ago

[–]notbookies 281 points282 points ago

This is the best cat picture I have ever seen. And by ever, I mean according to my reddit memory.

[–]Stubbula 131 points132 points ago*

Somewhere a forgotten cat has been dethroned. May it live out it's days as a humbled cat that is proud of its accomplishments and not yearning for what it once was.

[–]Bryon_the_Red 56 points57 points ago

That was beautiful.

[–]lifebinder 14 points15 points ago

It will live out its retirement as all karma machines: licking its butt in inappropriate places, riding invisible bicycles, and chasing laser points with gusto.

[–]veron101 8 points9 points ago

[–]Lurking_Grue 5 points6 points ago

Ok, now I have pretend car noises going though my head.

[–]ByJiminy 2 points3 points ago

I saw this more as a Rocky IV-style Siberian training montage.

[–]chucknorrisismyson 39 points40 points ago

reddit memory = 15 minutes

[–]Rmeder1 38 points39 points ago

17 minutes ago

Do you even remember posting this?

[–]chucknorrisismyson 37 points38 points ago

huh? who are you?

[–]irrelevantPseudonym 12 points13 points ago

posting what?

[–]IAmAStory 10 points11 points ago

Which is still damn impressive, probably.

[–]iDontSayFunnyThings 7 points8 points ago

Like a month long!

[–]Beaver420 10 points11 points ago

Let's see if you say the same in two weeks when it is reposted

[–]NotYourAunt 7 points8 points ago

Seconded.

[–]Imstillawake 1 point2 points ago

Something like 2 weeks time?

[–]notbookies 2 points3 points ago

Something like that. It varies I think, as well as my perception of time. For example, someone told me today that the "Huh?" guy happened only 4 months ago. Blew my mind.

[–]toThe9thPower 85 points86 points ago

That little dog is FUCKED

[–]irrelevantPseudonym 11 points12 points ago

I used to have the same little dog. I think they came free in some sort of cereal as part of some promotion for something. The newspaper fell out of its mouth after a while though.

[–]shavedaddy 146 points147 points ago

i swear i thought it was a mega cat laying waste to an actual fucking house...

[–]chucknorrisismyson 94 points95 points ago

I'm impressed by the cat, but I'm more impressed by the level of detail of the dollhouse.

[–]kittimiyo 40 points41 points ago

It's a really nice looking dollhouse

[–]chinesefooood 13 points14 points ago

I agree...I'd actually like to see more pictures of the dollhouse

[–]fireatx[S] 24 points25 points ago

My grandfather built it for his daughters. He was an engineer. It used to have a fully operational lighting system in it too. It's pretty cool.

[–]nigerian_king 8 points9 points ago

Do you have any more pictures of this godly dollhouse?

[–]kaede1s 2 points3 points ago

A mansion among dollhouses.

[–]Urban_Savage 15 points16 points ago

I also love that it's a mess.

[–]irrelevantPseudonym 6 points7 points ago

Are you surprised? It has a giant cat living in it

[–]siraic 42 points43 points ago*

I just got a new -insanely playful- kitten, and this picture is an accurate representation of what it feels like to live with him. (picture of my new kitten for extra karma: http://i.imgur.com/5smid.jpg)

[–]cephalgia 6 points7 points ago

That's usually the face I see every morning.

"Oh, hai there. Wuz you sleeping?"

[–]displacingtime 4 points5 points ago

Maine coon?

[–]Cheezburger 7 points8 points ago

Norwegian Forest cat (I think?)

[–]siraic 2 points3 points ago

No, but everybody seems to think he is when they see that picture. And he's getting a half maine coon / half norwegian forest cat friend in two months!

[–]Cheezburger 2 points3 points ago

So what is he then?

My neighbor has a cat that looks just like him when he was a kitty, always assumed he was a Norwegian.

[–]siraic 4 points5 points ago

He's 7/8 maine coon 1/8 ragdoll.

[–]kreie 2 points3 points ago

That really sounds like the cuddliest breed EVER.

[–]hsg11 2 points3 points ago

And the hairiest! My parents old cat was about that mix, and oh boy the hair tumbleweeds...

[–]siraic 7 points8 points ago

7/8, his grandmother was half ragdoll, rest of the family full maine coon. You're the first one to identify him as a maine coon from that picture, everybody thinks he's a norwegian forest cat.

[–]displacingtime 4 points5 points ago

I have a maine coon myself:) He's the best. Also was super crazy playful as a kitten. First few weeks I felt like I'd adopted a toddler.

[–]siraic 3 points4 points ago

I know what you mean. They definitely demand more attention than the average kitten. It seems like he has two modes: crazy playful and crazy cuddly(throwing-himself-at-you-cuddly), nothing in between. Also from the first day I got him (two weeks ago), he's been sleeping right next to me, and waking me up every 2 hours or so because he feels like it's time to play. Luckily that's improving now. He's awesome.

[–]Lasereth 1 point2 points ago

Cutest kitten of all time!!!

[–]foreverpopular 106 points107 points ago

When I was young, a giant cat attacked and killed my family. This picture is so terrifying it triggered my PTSD.

[–]Traner 17 points18 points ago

since it was a cat don't you meant PTCD?

[–]bojang1es 33 points34 points ago

You don't have to coverup for your giant cat, no one on reddit will tell.

[–]jbg830 64 points65 points ago

Most realistic doll house ever!

[–]JAV0K 43 points44 points ago

With actual junk under the stairs

[–]catcircusringmaster 4 points5 points ago

Yeah, where do they find wallpaper on that scale? And a stair runner?

[–]hybridsilence 2 points3 points ago

[–]hurderpderp 11 points12 points ago

CATZILLA!

[–]fried_gold 6 points7 points ago

[–]LambastingFrog 2 points3 points ago

I have to ask how you thought up your username. The "hey, have a fun fact" part of me wants to tell you an interesting (to me) fact, but there's another part of me wondering whether you'll care, and whether you'll already know it...

[–]SatanicBug 2 points3 points ago

can you tell me the fun fact?

[–]LambastingFrog 2 points3 points ago

I meant to get back to the keyboard earlier to check! Sorry I'm late! So, the original of the schnitzel! The rich in Austria put gold-leaf on their food, just as a "hey, look how rich we are - WE EAT GOLD" type thing. The commoners of the time (1500s, I believe) wanted to have something like the Scrooge McDucks of the time, and so they breaded their meat and fried it until it went golden coloured, and thus the schnitzel was born.

And that's what I thought of when I saw your username.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Going after that chandelier.

[–]vertigale 13 points14 points ago

Reminds me of one of my favorite Sesame Street songs I saw as a kid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEU8CjPIrpw The cats come in at about 1:00 mark.

[–]ilavayou 1 point2 points ago

Best clip from the show, came here to make sure someone had posted it.

[–]coaltown 10 points11 points ago

Forgot it was a dollhouse and freaked out for a minute there.

[–]dirkforthree 8 points9 points ago

GIANT CAT!!!

[–]MonkeyNacho 7 points8 points ago

OMG. This reminds me of my childhood! My parents were dismayed that the awesome dollhouses they bought or, in my dad's case, made for me, became a den for vicious marauding kittehs.

My cats also used to attack the crap out of Barbie. That was always part of my storyline.

Bitch had it coming, though. She picked on Skipper a lot.

[–]VirulentStrain 2 points3 points ago

1 points for remembering Skipper; Seems like kinda of a detailed doll house, ep?

[–]certifiedlurker 8 points9 points ago

"Holy Sheeeeiiit that cats muhh fuckin huge!!!!!"

reads title

"Well im fucking stupid"

checks comments

"At least I'm not the only one who is stupid"

[–]WastelandxPanda 5 points6 points ago

You kids never listen. These puppies and kittens don't stay small forever. Now look at it. The dog is terrified, the chandelier is broken and we can't get upstairs to go to bed.

[–]tzech99 15 points16 points ago

Don't get high and look at the picture without reading the title, you're going to have a bad time.

[–]iLOVEdux 4 points5 points ago

I thought that flaming octopus was ready to latch on to my face, but then that giant Beanie Baby just saved my life! Damn, this is some good peyote!

[–]alexseligsohn 2 points3 points ago

This....is....amazing. AMAZING

[–]edlorenz7 3 points4 points ago

gotta admin i'm lost on the whole 'karma machine' thing. Are cats called karma machines on reddit because the elicit upvoting and hence link karma?

[–]orismology 3 points4 points ago

Yes.

[–]Recall_Coordinator 1 point2 points ago

Pets in general.

[–]schwerpunk 3 points4 points ago*

I need more.

Who keeps a trash can like that in the house?

[–]Produzer 2 points3 points ago

I only read half the link then see a giant fucking cat! then i read the rest of the link...oh..doll house.

[–]needlzor 2 points3 points ago

Don't try to fuck with me OP, this is no dollhouse, where did you get your Gigantic Cat ?

[–]mtek 2 points3 points ago

This is seriously the best thing I've seen in my life. This is better than baby turtles eating fruit, and that's sayin something.

[–]TheShadowCat 2 points3 points ago

I think this is my second favourite kitten picture I've seen all week.

"Potato, you understand me", has a slight edge.

http://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/rjf86/potato_you_understand_me/

[–]BatsintheBelfry45 1 point2 points ago

How cute, it looks like a scene out of the Incredible Shrinking Man, I almost expect to see Grant Williams running away in terror.

[–]ptrostli 1 point2 points ago

My heart and eyes just melted a little

[–]Dankskies 1 point2 points ago

I laughed way too hard at this

[–]whydoipoopsomuch 1 point2 points ago

I thought this was a Stephen King movie

[–]SquirtleLieksMudkips 1 point2 points ago

Great, now I have to clean up the brain matter that splattered on the walls as a result of the squee induced by this picture. That's hard work without a brain!

No, but really, I viewed this at work and literally ”aww!!”-ed out loud. My coworkers have now also had their full of squee for the week and they thank you!

[–]octoberrust 1 point2 points ago

Honey, I blew up the cat!!!!

[–]daversa 1 point2 points ago

This just made me realize a kitten would probably try to eat me if it were bigger than me.

[–]AltitudeF22 1 point2 points ago

That is an amazing dollhouse (and an adorable kitty!) Where did you get the dollhouse/what kind is it?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Holy shit, I left r/trees for one minute, and now this house is being attacked by a giant kitty.

[–]ldvatwa 1 point2 points ago

I was wondering what crazy science experiment you were working on, then I read the title.

There was a Star Trek episode about this. A giant cat chases Kirk and Spock around a spooky castle.

[–]fournameslater 1 point2 points ago

[–]tornadosgoOMNOM 1 point2 points ago

here's what i don't understand: the 5,912 downvotes this has received..

[–]WeCameAsBromans 1 point2 points ago

I couldn't downvote a cat if I tried.

[–]InbredScorpion 1 point2 points ago

For a second there (before I read the title completely) my reaction was; "Holy fuck that is a huge cat."

[–]Pikkster 1 point2 points ago

That dog gives no fucks.

[–]Nebraska_Actually 1 point2 points ago

People need to stop calling everything a karma machine. Just call it a cute cat. Every time I see anything with the word "karma" on the front page I downvote it.

[–]richworks 1 point2 points ago*

NOTHING HAS BEEN MORE RELEVANT THAN THIS :)
