Here’s a new meme: cat beards (more links below the photo).
Send me a picture of you making a cat beard with your moggie; if you’re a winner (there will be only one), you get an autographed book with a picture of your cat drawn in.
WARNING!!!: You know the risks you’re taking by doing this.
You can see more cat beards at The Laughing Squid, which also provides moar links:
Cat Beards is a purrrfect photo meme where people position their cat’s chin in front of their own face and make it look as if they have a furry beard, mouth and all. Some of the photos have been around for a few years, but the meme has only recently really taken off. You can view more photos of mutant cat beard people online at Cat-Beard.com, Know Your Meme and by searching around in the Instagram tag #CatBeard.
You can make a ‘stache, too!:

Because cats lick their butts.
Oh, my.
This would probably actually be pretty easy for me to capture…Baihu seems to like to try to shove his nose up mine, for some reason….
But, as I already have a book with cat portrait, I do believe I shall gracefully step aside and let somebody else have a chance for a change….

Yes, my cat used to do this spontaneously. It was her signal for a chin scratch. I just never had a camera handy.
With Baihu, it’s more something that happens in the middle of rubbing our cheeks together….
b&
I think they like to smell our breath. One of ours does that too.
This isn’t just sniffing…this is practically an attempt to shove his whole head into my sinus cavities…it’s really sweet, if more than a bit weird….

Love the bottom picture with her cat’s arm for a mustache!
Cat’s gotta be declawed!
Oh, I hope not! I’m firmly opposed to feline digital mutilation.
And not only is the paw a few inches away from her face, all cats I’ve known are quite capable of putting fully-armed paws on unprotected human skin without causing damage. Just because they can draw blood doesn’t mean they actually want to.
b&
Mine would *want* to. She is tolerant up to a point.
wait, wait! this could be misinterpreted! what i MEANT was, “IF I tried this with my cat, I would be slashed, I bet this cat is delclawed!”
Those pictures are just creepy…
A friend (nominally a Christian) showed me this stuff two nights ago. I tried to have him forward the post to WEIT, but alas. I wasn’t worried; I knew it would show up.
heeere Butter, Butter, Butter… (where IS that cat?)
Ah, the old “come of the cats, stay for the science” trick 🙂
Beardache – the state you wind up in after trying the latest internet meme.
(I mean, watch those claws near your crotch!)
Hilarious, thanks!
I had a good laugh looking at the pics JAC posted, brought my family to show and we googled cat bearding too. Great laughs tyvm!
Why does every link point to xmail.uchicago.edu?
Fixed, thanks. Chalk it up to WordPress glitchiness.
You know, all your cat posts makes me miss my cat so much more.
One day, when I get my own place again, I can’t wait to get a new cat. Until then…urggg *wipes eye*
Might have a crack at his later. My kittiess aren’t big fans of being held so I might have to try for the mustache option…
Reblogged this on Marc's WordPress Blog and commented:
some good ones here
Maternal instincts in this cat extend further than to its kittens!
Not part of the contest, but I came across this today and thought it wonderful.

I’m not sure if you want them emailed to you or not, but I’m just going to comment here and leave you a link to my cat beard in hopes of entering the contest.

I’m not sure if my last comment posted or not. If it did, I’m sorry for posting two…
Anyways I assume to enter, one just leaves a comment here with a link to their cat beard?
