When I rule the universe, there shall be a sacred rule: thou shalt not mingle images of the holy cephalopod with those of the wicked feline, for these are FALSE IDOLS which shall evoke my righteous wrath.

Will Monsanto stop at nothing?
But it’s so cuuuute!!!
I agree. That collar does has got to go. If a cat wants to wear a ruffed collar, the Elizabethan ones — the stiff ones — are much more appropriate for a cool cat like that.
Giant Squid Sightings Considered an ‘Omen’ by Japanese Fishermen
It does look a bit creepy. But I think that’s the collar.
I’d love to see the litter box for this one.
Is that from the Nekonomicon?
Which reminds me of a song.
The collar needs spikes. And buckles. Or spiky buckles.
Reginald@4- I first read your post as flying squid sightings, which WOULD have been an omen of… something.
It’s clearly a normal octopus wearing the severed head of a kitten. No abomination here.

Hey, why the hate on James Bond? Octopussy was a great movie!
How would that catopus survive? It has a mouth at each end but no anus.
That looks like the mascot of GitHub

I’m guessing PZ shouldn’t watch the Canadian cartoon Spliced, since one of its characters is Octocat, a mutant cat-octopus creature. (The mangling of genetics likely wouldn’t help either.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spliced_(TV_series)
Geeze PZ… haven’t you ever heard of an OctoPussy? They wash up on the beach here in Hawai’i all the time.
GitHub also uses an Octocat logo. :)
It’s horrer kitteh – you can tell because of the villainous, plotting tentacle positioning.

That is a significant portion of the horrer.
Well it’s nice to know that something makes you uncomfortable.
Like the famed crocogator, that’s why it’s so mean.
Matt G @ 9: There is such a thing as the Japanese flying squid, apparently. They fly backwards, up to 30 meters at a time.

As per the old joke about the Tiger/Lion, “That’s what makes it so mean!”
Oh. Beaten to launch by the Launcher Hissef, Trebuchet.
*tips hat in Trebuchet’s general direction, walks off whistling*
Where are the gill slits, or does it breathe through its ears?
If its part mammal, does it have lungs?
Obviously that is Cathulu.

“Obviously that is Cathulu.”
Okay, you win 50 internets.
Makes me wonder what a meow would sound like…
Haha Mirleille, you cracked me up AND pissed me off, because I wanted to make the same joke. I have “late to the dance” envy BIG TIME!

More of the same the last many, many Sundays.
I guess you’ve never heard of the OCTOCAT ADVENTURE series of short youtube films made by a talented young animator called RANDYPETERS1. I highly recommend you watch them,and be persistent: you wouldn’t want to miss the surprise ending!
