The BBC News Magazine has a “Caption Challenge“, and the latest subject is an intriguing picture of a cat.
I hold my own cat like this all the time, but usually I’m lying on my back on the floor, swinging the cat from left to right, and making whooshing noises while singing some made-up song about “Supercat”. If you want to make a caption suggestion to the Beeb, “You can submit captions for this week’s picture by sending us an email to: the.magazine@bbc.co.uk using the subject line Caption.” Do so right away, as there’s a deadline of 12:30 BST Friday. The 6 best suggestions share a prize of a “traditional small quantity of kudos”. If you do submit one, share it with us here at WEIT in the comments, and if you miss the BBC deadline, just put it in the comments here.

Couldn’t we use CGI for this?
Cue music. “…And I’ve…had..the time of my life…and I owe it all to youuuuuu….”
I’ve told you not to play in the freezer!
Catsicle!

“Look me in the eyes and now tell me – where did that hot do go!?”
“You misheard. The game isn’t called ‘tail on a pin’.”
I emailed “…but I want that”
If I stretch it a bit further, I can restring my viola.
Well played…
‘Now I throw the cat like a spear at the oncoming grizzly bear…’
Wait. Did you say ‘I hold my own cat like this all the time..’ Is there a cat we do not know about?
Greg posted this, not PCC.
Ah, I should remember to look. Thanks.
I sometimes have to double check too. 🙂
“PININ’ for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?”
“Berich Inian is otherwise busy, so this Abyss Inian will have do. Kvatch castle here we come!”

“This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark three hundred cats, its breadth fifty cats, and its height thirty cats.”
BTW that’s a pic from a cat show. That’s probably the judge evaluating that gorgeous Abyssinian cat.
I do miss my Aby, Azezal–he was a sweet boy. Died about 9 years ago.
What is the temperament of Abyssinian cats?
Good one!
Years ago I visited a couple who had two Abyssinians; what fantastic cats–beautiful, intelligent, interactive, such personalities! I don’t remember the people at all…

“Birdman to the rescue!”
“usually I’m lying on my back on the floor, swinging the cat from left to right, and making whooshing noises while singing some made-up song about “Supercat”.”
Now that is hilarious! And about how we act at our house. We used to have the Least Beast and the Great Beast (kind of how birds get named greater and lesser whatever). The (now) late Least Beast started it. I started calling her Least Beast. Then is was natural to call the other (very large tom) the Great Beast.
And that soon morphed into Über Katz, Grand (or Meilleur) Chat, Grande Gatto, etc.
“A cat made out of Turkish taffy”
It wasn’t me! It was the dog! Now put me down or…
That cat is an Abyssinian, and the body is quite long. My kitty looks just like the one in the photo, and I stretch her out all the time.

If anyone remembers the ads for the first Superman movie from decades ago:
“You will believe a cat can fly!”
I clicked too late for the challenge, but my first thought was, “OK, just flatten your tail a bit and I guarantee you will win the contract to model for the new Jaguar car badge.” (for us Americans: badge=emblem)
Ahh, so this is what the pyramid builders used for a try-square.
Reminds me of the recent xkcd comic ‘Gut Fauna‘, so it seems the cat is about to be inserted as a probiotic. Caption is either ‘Open wide!’ or ‘Unclench!’
(No kitties were harmed in the making of this hypothetical)
I have an Abyssinian cat. If I tried to hold Millie like that I’m sure the consequences would not be pretty!
