Cute Fat Kitty Nomming on Gyoza and Beer (video).

Please do not watch this adorable video of a cute, fat Japanese cat eating gyoza and drinking beer unless you are prepared for screen-spewage. WAIT is that Wilford Brimley? I hear gyoza gives you diabeetus.

That's not a cat, that's an ewok.

[#3 posted by jsauter , February 3, 2009 4:32 PM]

I believe that is beer, not sake.

i thought it was wilford brimley

[#5 posted by Yamara , February 3, 2009 4:34 PM]

He's only eating his own fur, and staring occasionally, as if his server has brought him the wrong order.

BUT IZ SOOPRKYOOT XENI THENK YEW

Cat's gonna have a body-image problem after being labeled "fat."

[#7 posted by arocklegend , February 3, 2009 4:37 PM]

I believe his name is Pai Mei.

[#8 posted by Xeni Jardin , February 3, 2009 4:39 PM]

He is pretend-eating.

[#9 posted by HollywoodBob , February 3, 2009 4:43 PM]

I don't know it really sounds like he was chomping down on something at the beginning.

Cute fat Japanese Himalayan cat. Though "fat Himalayan" may be redundant; in my experience, Himalayans are often animated throw pillows.

The ones I've known are also fairly laid-back cats, so I'm not surprised this one was convinced to pose. Getting him to lick his paws would be easy. Keeping him away from the human-food... well, depends on the cat, and depends on whether that was real food or a display mockup.

Nice concept, nicely executed. In a past life, I want to come back as Buddha's cat...

Do they have 12-step programs for cats?

Dr. Claw's sidekick, MAD Cat, pre-rehab.

No, MAD Cat after finally getting rid of Dr. Claw, post-rehab, on an awkward date with Brain (not pictured, on the other side of the table).

They can never make it past Step 2. When's the last time you've seen a cat even admit the existance of a Higher Power?

Mmmm... Gyoza.

I know I'm an asshole. I'm aware that I don't like many things. But good plate Gyoza always turns me into a care bear.

Pro Tip: Order Age-Gyoza (ah-gay) for super crunchy deep fried magic.

This is a rare look at where the back room assassinations of rival pets are planned.

I don't think that you're supposed to drink alcohol if you have diabeetus.

[#20 posted by Takuan , February 3, 2009 6:36 PM]

shacho-san drinks what he wants! OI! little sister!

[#21 posted by KurtMac , February 3, 2009 6:47 PM]

Plus, it looks like he enjoys a smoke with his meal, also not good for his diabeetus.

Undertall Cat resents implications that the problem is his weight when it's clearly his height.

[#23 posted by Anonymous , February 3, 2009 7:13 PM]

I've watched it 4 times and still haven't seen him drink beer.

[#24 posted by Anonymous , February 3, 2009 7:14 PM]

Slow cat day?

[#25 posted by grimatongueworm , February 3, 2009 8:29 PM]

where would the internet be without cats?

where would cats be without the internet (under my feet, yes..but in a larger sense..)

[#26 posted by Jack , February 3, 2009 8:34 PM]

Antinous, maybe the cat is showing how with proper diabeetus care you can "splurge" every once in a while.

Good lord is that cat a pig. But such good production values on the whole setup!

Can I have the beer? Kitty isn't doing what Xeni said he's doing. Bad kitty!

[#29 posted by Tenn , February 3, 2009 9:14 PM]

Xeni you has betrayed us.

I was really hoping kitty was going to drink beer. D: Though it was quite cute. Despair?

he's clearing a hairball

[#32 posted by adamnvillani , February 3, 2009 11:28 PM]

I think it's the Wampa from The Empire Strikes Back.

[#33 posted by minTphresh , February 3, 2009 11:36 PM]

a smoke, kurtmac? looks more like he's got about half a pack snuffed out in the ashtray next to him!

[#34 posted by presterjohn , February 3, 2009 11:47 PM]

over promised, and under delivered.

[#35 posted by Anonymous , February 4, 2009 1:04 AM]

Does anybody else think it looks like a Kilrathi?

[#36 posted by belldl , February 4, 2009 6:27 AM]

Thanks #27/Brad for my first & hopefully last coffee choke of the day.

[#37 posted by franko , February 4, 2009 6:39 AM]

even though he didn't drink beer, that was full of win. who knew wilford brimley got so hairy in his older age?

[#38 posted by jburris , February 4, 2009 8:06 AM]

invisible consuming!

[#39 posted by Unanimous Cowherd , February 4, 2009 8:48 AM]

More beer!

[#40 posted by KuKuKaChu , February 4, 2009 11:00 AM]

Not eating, just grooming self (chest and paws). Licking and chomping sounds are typical.

BUT SO KYOOOT !!!

You said there would be nomming! You let me down, man. Now I don't believe in nothing no more. I'm going to law school.
