The facial expression says it all.

[–]CaptainNoBoat 232 points233 points ago

So does this one.

Edit: I put this in a comment yesterday, but screw it. Amazingly relevant now:
Here's a picture my mom sent me of our cat on Halloween.

[–]majortomsajunkie 195 points196 points ago

This cat, on the other hand, is a born model!

Edit: his full portfolio

[–]CountMalachi 159 points160 points ago

I'm wasting my life.

[–]SolomonGomes 135 points136 points ago

Looks like this cat having a midlife crisis.

[–]janinechristine 39 points40 points ago

This is my favorite thing on the Internet right now.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago

its a bjork music video, forgot which one, too lazy to google bjork cat music video

[–]dontyoudareblink 9 points10 points ago

[–]OnlysayswhatIwant 1 point2 points ago

I did....and that video just fucked my mind

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I'm making good time with my youth

[–]Torch_Salesman 6 points7 points ago

That still remains the best thing I've ever seen in my life.

And I watch a lot of porn.

[–]JPugzz 6 points7 points ago

Midlife crisis? The middle of which life? Get it? Cats. 9 lives. Yeah... bye.

[–]Astralize 8 points9 points ago

Life 5 obviously.

[–]lacienega 28 points29 points ago

It's amazing how a hat like that can make anything look French.

[–]SuperlativeInsanity 2 points3 points ago

It's the turtleneck. And that hat makes one look like an 19th century indigent.

[–]imakemisteaks 13 points14 points ago

can anyone tell me what kind of cat this is? I'm looking to invest in a karma farm.

[–]majortomsajunkie 11 points12 points ago

[–]surfnaked 4 points5 points ago

See those ears? Those ears are why putting a hat that covers those is like blindfolding the all seeing man. Criminal. On yeah, and they hate it. Those ears are made to hear a mouse fart at 200 yards. Radar. Better than your eyes will ever be.

[–]USMCsniper 11 points12 points ago

[–]majortomsajunkie 2 points3 points ago

Yes, so hard to choose.

[–]queenmaeree 9 points10 points ago

I believe that's the most beautiful cat I've ever seen.

[–]irawwwr 5 points6 points ago

Ridiculously good looking kitten

[–]Derporelli 11 points12 points ago

Very stoic!

[–]Zuntir 4 points5 points ago

I don't even have a cat, and I want those accessories.

[–]wAngelo 3 points4 points ago

Looking very french.

[–]thatgirlwaslike 1 point2 points ago

That cat is gorgeous. Want to steal it.

[–]ZombieCupCakex22 1 point2 points ago

That is one refined cat.

[–]epicyon 12 points13 points ago

Aristocat.

[–]Philebus 1 point2 points ago

Well done.

[–]soosuh 1 point2 points ago

I can't even deal with this.

[–]PsychedelicLollipop 1 point2 points ago

What kind of cat is this? The most beautiful I have ever seen apparently.

[–]trinlayk 1 point2 points ago

oooh, bowties are COOL...

[–]physicscat 17 points18 points ago

[–]MoonshineSchneider 1 point2 points ago

For some reason, that one goes over the line but the cat is just too cute.

[–]SJJ1960 1 point2 points ago

I laughed too hard at that.

[–]Spiffy313 4 points5 points ago

Funny, I was just perusing this site.

[–]Smad3 2 points3 points ago

The facial expression, to me, says "I know chuck testa"

[–]Almost_Ascended 2 points3 points ago

"Oh God why?"

[–]fubbington 1 point2 points ago

Cat...can't...breathe

[–]gotta_Say_It 1 point2 points ago

It says Post Traumatic Sweater Disorder.

[–]frivolege 50 points51 points ago

Looks like something out of a Beatrix Potter book. Especially the expression.

[–]lacienega 15 points16 points ago

That's uncanny.

[–]steviesteveo12 1 point2 points ago

That makes you wonder if she used a model.

[–]staticchevalier 24 points25 points ago

That poor adorable bastard!

[–]EstellaHavisham3 73 points74 points ago

Album please.

[–]work_hau_ab[S] 94 points95 points ago

Here are a couple more. She is obsessed with the TV, and an old toy cat my girlfriend had.

http://imgur.com/a/O0nMU

[–]Dennisjr13 24 points25 points ago

Not even a year old and already rooting for Spain, all she needs is a (crocheted) Silva kit

[–]anachrobot 5 points6 points ago

Yes. More.

[–]Yelly 2 points3 points ago

And an Etsy store. /r/shutupandtakemymoney

[–]Entangleman 1 point2 points ago

sadetsykittens.com

[–]steviesteveo12 17 points18 points ago

The little blue collar on the jumper somehow makes this the whitest thing I have ever seen.

[–][deleted] 58 points59 points ago

I'm dying over the dang collar. This just made my night - spit out my ice cube and all. Hit the dog, which started even more laughter.

[–]kitty_punisher 10 points11 points ago

Am I the only one that read: "my girlfriend likes crotch sweaters for our new kitten". Just me then? Not surprising.

[–]PrototypeKH 12 points13 points ago

The look on your kitten's face is saying "this."

[–]Sderpuh 28 points29 points ago

The look on it's face is like "what did I ever do to deserve this?????". Hahahaha

[–]babums 20 points21 points ago

It's best to get them while they're young so they grow up thinking they're supposed to wear them.

[–]noneofitavailable 8 points9 points ago

Exactly so. Very much like religion, politics, and the modern financial services industry.

[–]sungod23 44 points45 points ago

is she angry at this cat, or just a hater of animals in general?

[–]giantslug 5 points6 points ago

she should make all three of you sweaters and you guys can start making cheesy christmas cards!!

[–]morelove 1 point2 points ago

hahaa... i may have to do this for my family..... and i have 2 kids. and 2 cats... and live with 2 boys... fuck that. too many sweaters.

[–]Cyndermissany 47 points48 points ago

You may need to get the girlfriend pregnant to redirect her urges.

[–]twenafeesh 30 points31 points ago

Oh, I think her urges are already going that direction, or else she wouldn't be knitting baby-sized sweaters.

[–]InchoateLife 3 points4 points ago

The poor child!! (This sweater is cute, though)

[–]UCIandWSU 20 points21 points ago

This wins my "best picture on Reddit today" award!

[–]UhOhOreo2012 6 points7 points ago

Haters gonna hate, Im here for you bro.

[–]Cavemansol 35 points36 points ago

[–]piccini9 5 points6 points ago

How long before girlfriend start collecting, carding, and spinning cat hair into yarn? Don't try to tell me it hasn't been discussed. I know these women.

[–]marianne215 1 point2 points ago

There's a book for that. I have it.

[–]Darierl 4 points5 points ago

that poor bastard

[–]NotImpressedByCats 3 points4 points ago

I wear knit sweaters all the time and I never make the front page.

This is bullshit.

[–]Bigwillyrob 6 points7 points ago

"kill me..." : p

[–]PolytheneCat 9 points10 points ago

This makes me want to learn how to crochet.

[–]Iamsqueegee 3 points4 points ago

Bill Catsby says "My sweater is fab-u-zobbity!"

[–]Nightmathzombie 4 points5 points ago

She needs to do one that says Thug Life" on it.

[–]MelMel74 6 points7 points ago

awww poor kitty. Quick some one get some scissors and cut that thing off of the poor kitty.

[–]mjbeidleman 16 points17 points ago

Please make her stop.

[–]ghettocat 1 point2 points ago

looks like a character from busy world of richard scarry!

[–]LaurentProper 2 points3 points ago

"Oh my god no, more people are going to see me in this thing?"

[–]Jejoisland 2 points3 points ago

I somehow believe the feeling is not mutual

[–]Danez 2 points3 points ago

Wow. . what a . . lucky. . kitten. . .

[–]bluemirror 2 points3 points ago

:-\

[–]house_whore 12 points13 points ago

Oh, Jesus Christ, you need to put a baby in that girl.

[–]facetape 3 points4 points ago

[–]OneEyedB 6 points7 points ago

The sweater even has a collar and sleeves......soooooo cute.

[–]GMonsoon 3 points4 points ago

Now a little hat with holes for the ears

[–]greekforhoney 1 point2 points ago

then pants!

[–]roughkitty 2 points3 points ago

The kitten looks thrilled :)

[–]shibalover19 3 points4 points ago

She should sell them, very adorable!

[–]WhaleProbe 4 points5 points ago

Your girlfriend is dropping hints.

[–]heylookacat 1 point2 points ago

The face just makes the picture.

[–]GrayIceWater 1 point2 points ago

RUN!

[–]JesseS311 1 point2 points ago

What have you done to me woman!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

That is a good looking sweater. It must have taken at least 8 hours to complete. If she charges less than 40 dollars, it's a fuckin' steal.

[–]Birdy611 1 point2 points ago

You should show this to /r/crochet. Also tell your girl visit!

[–]kfunke 1 point2 points ago

Serious question here for OP: Does she have a pattern? I would be interested.

[–]TheRaggedSea 1 point2 points ago

Your girlfriend just became my new imaginary best friend.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Baby complex

[–]vheissu417 1 point2 points ago

this is the only time i'm okay with dressing up animals.

[–]claudsr87 1 point2 points ago

I was imagining a matching pair of pants, with a little hole for the tail :')

But then I realised that'd essentially, I'd be making a cat wear crotchless underwear ...

[–]IcyNudibranch 1 point2 points ago

Face: I've seen shit that will turn you white!

[–]lbslip 1 point2 points ago

Good to see tortoiseshells (aka torties) getting some love. Sometimes they get bad raps.

[–]musiclover55 1 point2 points ago

Little kitten "please mom don't make me wear this to school! The cats in my class will beat me up!" On the other hand I personally think it looks snazzy.

[–]AlmightyRedditor 1 point2 points ago

You're a redditor. You don't have a girlfriend. Stop knitting sweaters for your cat!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Kitten: "WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE"

[–]sehrah 1 point2 points ago

MY boyfriend knits, but he's a assbutt and refuses to knit our naked cat a sweater.

What a doucehbag, huh?

THINK OF ALL THE KARMA I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN WITH A PICTURE.

[–]freddit25 1 point2 points ago

[–]Kellianne 1 point2 points ago

I'm not sure HOW you would get a sweater on a kitten. I'd like to see pictures of you hands and arms!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Get married!!! Get married before it's too late!!!

[–]KillaB123 1 point2 points ago

And he looks thrilled about it lol

[–]iPodLurker 1 point2 points ago

NO TIME FOR QUESTIONS LEAVE JUST LEAVE

[–]tmt1993 1 point2 points ago

My favorite way to mess with cats used to be laser pointers and duct tape. I think this may be my new favorite.

[–]atakamoto 3 points4 points ago

"Holly shit! I'm meowvellous!"

[–]Emmae 2 points3 points ago

TAKE MY MONEY!

[–]missambs 3 points4 points ago

Someone should rescue this cat.

[–]Baskanavitch 3 points4 points ago

Animal cruelty!!

[–]Caharm 4 points5 points ago

Could you provide the pattern?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

That poor fuckin cat!

[–]catdoctor 3 points4 points ago

Nooooo! Dressing a cat is SO WRONG!

[–]pr1mal0ne 1 point2 points ago

And what does she make you wear?

[–]GuesAgn 1 point2 points ago

He really looks like he is trying to think of what he did to deserve the sweater. Cute Pic.

[–]fluckyou 1 point2 points ago

In before all the "How cruel," comments.

Cute picture, cute cat.

[–]TuppyHole 1 point2 points ago

It's so rare that I upvote anything on /r/aww :) Thank you!

[–]GreensTN 1 point2 points ago

It's it middle of summer, WHY?!

[–]Crystalinfire 1 point2 points ago

The poor cat!

[–]thatgirlwaslike 1 point2 points ago

Hahahaha... I love your girlfriend.

[–]sallenpi 1 point2 points ago

Your girlfriend is a keeper. And the new kitten.

[–]sirdickface 1 point2 points ago

this post is genuinely the cutest thing i've ever seen on reddit. kjisdapjfaskdpjfasdpkfjasepkfojaefsocute

[–]warm_slurm 1 point2 points ago

That looks incredibly tight... and not in a good way. Animals don't need to wear clothes, that's what their fur is for.

Dressing animals in clothes is just about the dumbest and weirdest fucking thing ever.

Does anybody else read "crochet" like "croch-it"?

[–]sirsparkylarper 0 points1 point ago

He's a handsome little man xD

[–]Bmjm8 0 points1 point ago

I read it as "Crotch it" the first time.

[–]Mikxuuz 0 points1 point ago

And cat must like it so bad.

[–]droivod 0 points1 point ago

Cute but those are nazi flowers

[–]rx_tacos 0 points1 point ago

Yup, that cat's gonna kill you.

[–]rx_tacos 0 points1 point ago

Yup, that cat's gonna kill you.

[–]mattdub 0 points1 point ago

Greatest. Picture. Ever.

[–]AiKantSpel 0 points1 point ago

It's way too hot for a sweater

[–]KCbizzy 0 points1 point ago

I was going to say your girlfriend needs a new hobby but god damn that kitten is adorable. Fantastic work.

[–]paants 0 points1 point ago

I don't know why.. but I'm pretty sure if this cat could talk, it would sound exactly like Will Ferrell.

[–]UmbraVictus 0 points1 point ago

The cat is all "Did you really just do this, did she really just do this.... I am going to kill you all"

[–]takka_takka_takka 0 points1 point ago

Run for your lives!

[–]Iraelyth 0 points1 point ago

Judging by her expression it looks like she's just seen the latest one your girlfriend is working on!

[–]Owl_You_Need_Is_Love 0 points1 point ago

I feel like that kitty belongs in the world of Richard Scarry.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Are you robbing the grave?

[–]trengbu 0 points1 point ago

My name is Mrs. Nesbitt!

[–]Krazy_King 0 points1 point ago

Either he's traumatized or is planning to kill you both in your sleep..

[–]taylor2000 0 points1 point ago

i think he is looking at a mirror

[–]ryan42 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of one of the characters from the kid's show Max and Ruby

[–]willgofurther 0 points1 point ago

looks like she just found out her favorite character from her favorite soap opera is dead.

[–]Zylle 0 points1 point ago

That cat looks like it would receive some serious wedgies from the other neighborhood cats...

[–]cheekybluebird 0 points1 point ago

Wow. that is some cute cat, and your girlfriend is crazy good at crochet.

[–]CndiMrie 0 points1 point ago

I cannot with this sweater. It even has a collar.

[–]Phiscas 0 points1 point ago

Most genuine belly laugh I've had in a while. For some reason this punched right through the calloused exterior I've built up towards cat pictures.

[–]zbrown[!] 0 points1 point ago

Something tells me that the kitten doesn't like the sweaters that your girlfriend knits for it...

[–]emehrkay 0 points1 point ago

haha does it have a collar?

[–]jodyismedusa 0 points1 point ago

It's Ruby! Max and Ruby, Ruby and Max. My kids were addicted to that show.

[–]shperdy 0 points1 point ago

He's not comfortable with it I guess. But it fits him well.

[–]whoimightbe 0 points1 point ago

oh my god, let me buy one. seriously.

[–]SparklyVampireDust 0 points1 point ago

Came into thread wanting more cute kittehs in cute clothes...was not disappointed.

10/10 would read again

[–]moniqua_hush 0 points1 point ago

OK. I TOTALLY want some for my kitties! They live in Michigan and it gets cold here in the summer. Where can I order some?? Seriously.

[–]brianpepinski 0 points1 point ago

Oh my god, if she makes one for my Australian Shepherd I will make her wear it and take pics

[–]CasillasQT 0 points1 point ago

How do you force cats into things like thaT? I cant imagine this to look pretty...

[–]bizzybelle 0 points1 point ago

This is amazing.

[–]mamacrocker 0 points1 point ago

Going from Homepage, I expected this to be in WTF or Funny. Should have known, what with the cat.

[–]swidney 0 points1 point ago

I want one!!!

[–]iulwen 0 points1 point ago

Your cat is so happy!!!

[–]iulwen 0 points1 point ago

I want to learn crocheting,but I find myself too stupid to learn this...

[–]imabustya 0 points1 point ago

Someone make a Sudden Clarity Cat meme and make a butt load of karma.

[–]justina 0 points1 point ago

I feel like i should know the difference between crocheting and knitting...but I don't.

[–]Kalessi 0 points1 point ago

[–]RawbHaze 0 points1 point ago

Yeah... this isn't normal. You're going to be on Hoarders less than five years after marriage.

[–]ahumblethought 0 points1 point ago

This is bad, you look like a waiter check out /r/catfashionasvice

[–]Thaver 0 points1 point ago

Holy fuck man hes gonna blow

[–]LambastingFrog 0 points1 point ago

Oh wow. That's adorable. Your girlfriend is talented.

[–]HornlessUnicorn 0 points1 point ago

This is so great! You should post in r/crochet!

[–]marianne215 0 points1 point ago

I am going to finally learn to crochet if only to have my cats make this expression.

[–]bsimard227 0 points1 point ago

when I originally read the word "crochet", my mind read it as Crotch it.

[–]speedy_slowzales 0 points1 point ago

How did you manage to let him let you put it on?

[–]pandasandkittens 0 points1 point ago

That is wonderful. But does the kitten move in them or just plop down?

[–]AshyBooRawrs 0 points1 point ago

I would like to purchase a sweater for my cat.

[–]madison2013 0 points1 point ago

Best. Post. All. Night. My boyfriend probably thinks I'm a crazy person for laughing so loud in the bedroom by myself.

[–]kneaders 0 points1 point ago

Mary, what's your girl friend's name?

[–]IAmJackBauer 0 points1 point ago

Can I buy one for my cat?
