“Tony Shaloub” in the men & cats series on funnyordie.com

The next video in the “men and cats” series on Funnyordie.com is “a little darker” according to creator David Title. It is a bit more bittersweet than the first video in the series, yet still funny. I still like how these manage to subvert the stereotype that only single, lonely, crazy, un-marriageable ladies have cats!

What do you call a cat who cuts off your circulation?

One thing I love nearly as much as cats is wordplay – crossword puzzles, puns, neologisms, I love them all.

Last night, Thurston – all 19 or so pounds of him – sat on my legs as I had them stretched out on the sofa. After sitting this way for quite a while, I finally dislodged Thurston and got up – and found one of my legs totally asleep.  I said to my husband, “My leg was asleep… Thurston totally cut off circulation to my legs.”

My husband replied, much to my delight, “A purr-niquet.”

Matt & Siouxsie

This pair of cuties is Matt and his cat Siouxsie. Matt’s girlfriend, Sarah, says they adopted two cats from their local Humane Society, and that Matt was initially reluctant to get one cat, but she somehow managed to talk him into getting two (good job, Sarah). Sarah reports, “Now, two years later he can’t get enough of the kitties.  They follow him everywhere. They both have to lie on or around him every moment. They watch every baseball game, football game, and hockey game through to the end.  No matter the extra innings or OT, the cats are snuggled up against Matt. Our cats have become his favorite buddies.”

Francisco, Lucas and Simone

This is my friend Francisco, and his feline companions Lucas (being nuzzled) and Simone (sitting in a box on top of a shelf). Francisco was convinced that he should adopt two cats from the same litter by none other than yours truly. The kitties are now about a year old, and they still get into all kinds of mischief when they’re not cuddling in their favorite chair or being spoiled by their human.

If you want to see more, even CUTER photos of Francisco and his cats, you’ll have to buy the forthcoming Men and Cats 2010 Calendar!
