Hump Day Humor Vintage Cat Lady Style
Hump Day Humor in Vintage Cat Lady Style is in honor of National Pet Month. Its focus is on how we can be more responsible pet parents. The # 1 message is a no brainer. Please spay or neuter your pets. Millions of unwanted pets are euthanized every year. It’s an unfunny truth that can be changed with awareness and do the right thing.
Our weekly cat caption contest pokes fun at vintage style and breathes new life into old images. The results are often shockingly modern.
This cat mom from circa 1908 is practically rolling her eyes at her dilemma. We asked for a snarky caption and C.K. delivered the winning caption with a hiss, boom, bah! Big purrs of congrats to C.K. aka Cathy Keisha who happens to be a cat with cattitude. C.K. has been keeping it real and telling it as it is since 2009 at her blog Stunning Keisha
Our new cat caption selection is an oddly familiar scenario for most cat ladies. Even if you normally can’t think of funny captions, this one is crazy easy. Go on, have a go. What could those two friends be thinking or writing about? Leave your thoughts in a comment and you might be next week’s clever winner.
Does your cat sit beside you while you’re on the computer? Last night, I left my laptop on the bed and when I got back from the kitchen, Nou Nou streaked off the bed the ways cats do when they know they’ve done something unusual or unwelcome.
She loves the warmth or weird electrical mojo. This time she’d pressed some unknown keys and turned the screen upside down. Who knew this was possible? Not me. And why would anyone want to do a 180? Have you ever tried typing a Google search sideways? Not fun. It was an easy fix of control, alt and refresh to normal.
As always, we can learn something new from our cats when we least expect it.

There is certainly a great deal to learn about this topic. I really like all of the points you made.

CK can always be relied upon for a good laugh, she rocks!
Ms. Phoebe used to like to lie on the keyboard if I was on the computer, freezing whatever I was working on so she could have all the attention as cats require. When on the iPad or iPhone though, she was always interested in pawing at the screen as she knew both had her games on them. I always had to stop what I was doing and open one of her apps so she could play it, or she would meow and keep tapping the screen! #somissed #mybestgirl #soulkitty

Aw, she was a clever girl.

Bwahaha! Good one, CK!
Ellen Pilch
Good job CK! That was funny.

Leave it to CK to come up with a good caption!
We don’t sit next to the mom when she’s on the computer. We like to sit right in front of the computer screen. We think she should pay more attention to us and not the computer.
Layla Morgan Wilde
As always, the cat is correct.

I have one cat that came to us declawed, his name is Spyder, and I swear he sits and thinks of things to do. For some reason his lack of claws makes it easier to ‘type’ one letter than the other cats. One night I was on twitter, and not only did he tweet, he somehow managed to go to reply and then tweet at an individual . It is tough enough to tweet but to reply, was even odder. I only recall he had aaaaaaaaeeeemmmmmmmm. I always figured he was trying to say “I am here” but couldnt quite manage it. Who knows with him!
Love your caption CK!
Layla Morgan Wilde
I love youe tweets but now I’ll have to wonder if Spyder is responsible!

I love CK’s caption! That is so funny. I think that any mother cat feels that way. I always get a lot of kitty help while I’m working on the computer. 🙂 I love it! Here is my caption idea for the new photo:
Woman: “How do you turn on the Wi-Fi on this thing?”
Cat: “Feed me and I will let you know.”

Love this one! Very clever modern twist.

Peep: MO– — USES!
Cat: What’s got your tail all twisted?

Concatulations to CK ! The caption is excellent ! Purrs

Rufus has taught me about key strokes I never knew existed. In the middle of a Photoshop job, the image shrinks to a tiny size, the background turns black, and somehow iTunes has been turned on – I have music! Now, when I hear him approach I quickly save what I’m doing.
Funny caption, CK!
xxoo
Layla Morgan Wilde
Maggie, ha, Rufus is quite the magician!

Excellent caption from CK:
Here’s my offering for today’s caption:
Woman:
“Dear John,
I’m sorry but I’ve met another more worthy of my love. He’s warmer, more caring and more devoted. ”
*
Cat:
“I’ll love you forever. You and your long curly hair.”
Layla Morgan Wilde
Ha, dear John letters. This is could be a meme 😉
Kathryn
Yeah, it’s too bad for the boyfriend. But…cats win. As always.
The caption contest is always sooo interesting. And the captions people come up with are great!
Cathy Keisha
Thanks for the shout out! I’ll let someone else caption it this time. I’ll bet that cat is dictating a blog though.
I’ve never bothered with the ipawd or the computer. I do like to scratch out those fast fingers on the keyboard though.
Layla Morgan Wilde
Congrats C.K. And I bet that cat is dictating something but what remains to be seen.

Concats to CK!
We have lap cats all the time when we are on the computer with the occasional keyboard entry or monitor adjustment from them , MOL!

Layla Morgan Wilde
I can imagine a cat saying “monitor adjustment” as if it’s a good thing 😉
easy rider
a good place for the tips LOL
Layla Morgan Wilde
Ha, some liquid gold!
Flynn
When I first had my new laptop Flynn was sitting on my lap and Ivor came in to take a photo of us. Flynn touched something and the shortcut thumbnails all started to get bigger and bigger until only about 4 would fit on the screen. You can see in the photo that he took of us that I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I didn’t know what he had done so didn’t know how to reverse it. Luckily a restart got it back to normal.
Layla Morgan Wilde
Ha, and Flynn probably looked innocent 😉
Sometimes Cats Herd You
At BlogPaws last year, one of the kittens rooming with the head peep managed to turn her laptop screen sideways like that. Serves her right for rooming with a kitten when she is away from us.
Layla Morgan Wilde
Funny how they get our attention in ingenious ways.
Summer
I’ve done some unusual things with my human’s laptop too. If she doesn’t want me messing with it, she has to shut it when she’s away from our desk.
Layla Morgan Wilde
Good advice.
