cat tat tuesday: lucky the cat anti valentine
Says the owner,
This is my first tattoo. This one is to show my passion for felines! The original design was made by ethe.
Done by Manassés at Hell Bodyart in Araraquara, SP.
Here is the original artwork by DeviantArt user ethe, designed as an anti-Valentine for the online community Gaia:
This kitty might be pissed off about Valentine’s Day, but he sure is cute!
maneki neko monday: misfortune cat?
As we are all well-aware, I am a fan of some very weird things and have a macabre sense of humor. Today I want to bring you yet another one of those internet oddities by introducing Misfortune Cat:
Misfortune Cat is an amusing, dark take on the Maneki Neko thought up by designer Ferg, whose site is unfortunately down for maintenance. The Misfortune Cat came about as a vinyl toy back in 2009, and from what I can gather, sold out incredibly quickly on Playge.net (which also has some other sold out but unique vinyl sculptures)!
Being a fan of creepy things, I love the funky, weirdo spin on the Maneki Neko Ferg came up with. Though the original Misfortune Cat is no longer available, a few designers have made customs of Misfortune Cat available at munkyking.com:
These twisted Maneki Nekos are probably way too strange for most people, but they are right up my alley! Hahaha! They are very amusing to me, and still …kind of cute!
fussy friday!
Some days, you just feel like fussing. Bad hair day, irritating work day, too many chores piling up. Here are some Flickr cats who share in your frustration… but cats can just look so funny when they are angry! Have a laugh at these cats having a Fussy Friday!
“I WANTED ROOM FOR CREAM IN MY COFFEE! WHAT DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT ‘ROOM FOR CREAM?!’ ”
“THE DRYER ATE MY FAVORITE WHITE SOCKS! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WEAR THESE SHREDDED PIECES OF CRAP!”
“YOU CAN’T HIDE IN THERE FOREVER.”
“I TRIED TO DRIVE MY CAR THROUGH A PUDDLE, TURNED OUT TO BE A FLOOD. INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER WATER DAMAGE.”
“I SAID “TEASED HAIR,” NOT “DON KING HAIR.” ”
“THE WEATHER GUY SAID ‘SUNNY AND 60. SUNNY AND 60!’ ”
“I AM OUT OF TOOTHPASTE. I HAVEN’T BRUSHED MY TEETH IN TWO DAYS.”
“THAT’LL TEACH YOU TO CUT ME OFF IN TRAFFIC!”
“MY NEIGHBORS THINK 1:00AM IS PRIME TIME TO BLAST DUBSTEP. FOR FIVE HOURS STRAIGHT.”
“YOU LEFT GREASY RESIDUE ON ALL THE DISHES I TOLD YOU TO WASH LAST NIGHT!”
“YOU DISGUST ME!!!”
“Chill out, guys! It’s Friday, life is too short to be fussy!”
Hope these photos were good for a laugh! As always, click each photo to view its source, and thanks to all the Flickr photographers out there with HTML-share enabled kitty pics!

Isn’t this maneki neko tattoo just adorable? I love the little happy-faced food, too! I hope to get to see this again once it’s colored. I’m sure it’ll be even cuter!
