I don't think some of you understand just what I am dealing with here

She HAD to eat the butter. NOBODY HAS FED HER IN THREE MILLION YEARS, YOU GUYS. LOOK AT THAT TRAGIC STARVED BEATEN LITTLE FACE. SHE WAS FORCED TO CLIMB THE TREACHEROUS SLOPES OF THE MATTERHORN IN A HOWLING BLIZZARD ONTO THE TABLE IN SEARCH OF SUSTENANCE. TO SURVIVE.

Good heavens! What a twagic, twagic face!

Somehow I feel as if I should be playing the kind of tremulous, silent-movie piano accompaniment that signals The Girl is about to be thrown out into the raging snowstorm. While in rags. As she clutches the baby she's actually hiding from gangsters.

OH SHE IS SO SAD, I CAN'T STAND IT, HOW COULD YOU TAKE THAT BUTTER AWAY FROM HER, IT WAS HER ONLY JOY!

[tei]

But those eyes

they`re kind of like lasers

that shoot out high-velocity AWWWWW and can effectuate mind-control from fifty feet

You may enjoy the woeful tale of a dog who responded similarly to sweet potatoes. That dog was also starving!! ("Enjoy" as in, share fellow-feeling with the other dog's owner.)

Warning -- do not eat or drink while reading. I'm serious.

The beagles are regularly similarly starved because the mean nasty humans don't let them eat the people food and try to only give them a few dog treats a day!

I would say that she looked as if butter wouldn't melt in her mouth except that it has plainly been demonstrated by actual experiment that this is not in fact true.

However, what a con-artist! "and the Oscar, for most convincing display of canine innocence despite all contrary evidence, goes to...."

[sharpiefan]

KYOOOT!

CAN'T YOU SEE SHE IS INNOCENT AND WAS ONLY TWYING TO PWOTECT YOUR BUTTER FWOM WAVAGING WILD ANIMALS, YOU CWOOL AND HEARTLESS HUMAN???!!!!

[nonethefewer]

Reminds me of a webcomic I saw once, ages ago, between a cat and its "owner":

C: You have not fed me in 600 years.
O: That's not even remotely true!
C: It is emotionally true.

Oh, all right, you don't have to shave her and throw her out into the snow.

BUT NEXT TIME FOR SURE! ::waves Fist of Impotent Authority::

(she is very very cute.)

This is Asterix. There are not as many pictures of him as there are of my other cat because he won't hold still.

Asterix has spent the last few weeks attempting to Occupy the kitchen table.

Why should the 99% eat kibble, when the 1% eat pears and cheese and meat and potatoes and raspberries and such?



This is Speak. He frustrates Asterix because he refuses to be in solidarity and consensus. Speak thinks that many things humans eat smell good, but refuses to eat them--he thinks that kibble and kibble-textured cat treats are the only food there is, and cannot understand how all those wonderful smells are emanating from "non-food" items.



They wish you to know that they have never been fed.

Ever.

[sparkymonster]

OMG THAT FAAAAACE.

[valancy]

aw, that might be the most adorable dog besides mine that I've ever seen!

[pameladean]

You know, if there had not been explanatory pronouns in your post itself, from the picture alone I would have thought that some dire human-canine collaboration had gone badly amiss. ALL the eyes are SO SAD.
