Dogs may be man’s best friend, but when it comes to modeling, cats reign supreme. Earlier, we saw a bunch of macho felines posing like male models in this hilarious photo series. This time, we’ve got another series that shows off the feline versatility: sexy cats posing like pin up girls.
These images are iconic, and what’s particularly fun and entertaining is the fact that each of the poses is replicated quite well and accurately by their feline counterparts.
Rawrr!
These shots are showcased at the Cats That Look Like Pin up Girls website, which was put together to promote Hurly-Burly, a fashion and costume company in Australia.

Cats are hot. Not in terms of temperature, but in terms of popularity. Do a quick search on memes and you’ll see that this is probably true. On the other hand, the male models featured below are hot, in terms of smexyness.
Combine these two hot commodities together, and what do you get? A hilarious gallery of sexy men and equally sexy kittens posing and doing their own thing.
These images, which feature male models and cats striking the same pose, are featured side by side on Tumblr blog Des Hommes et des Chatons. You can check out more in the gallery below.
You can find more of these on the blog here.

What you’re looking at is a cat lung being blown up with a straw. I know. It’s ginormous. More ginormous than what you would think is inside a cat. But that’s because lungs are incredibly expandable. What looks like a pile of bloody meat inflates into this perfectly pink balloon.

Life gets a lot more interesting when there’s a cat around. Consider yourself lucky if you own a cat with a personality that’s as huge as that of Tardar Sauce’s (aka Grumpy Cat.) Even if you don’t, their demanding but endearing ways will soon melt down your walls and get to you.
As a result, cats have people making them all sorts of stuff, from iPad games for cats to the Cat Tunnel Sofa. Another thing to add to that list is Kitty-Casso.
In case it isn’t obvious enough to you, Kitty-Casso is a paint kit for cats. It contains five tubs of non-toxic acrylic paint, art paper, paint shields, one frame, and of course, a surprise toy for your cat.
Now I don’t think your kitty cat will know what you expect him to do after smearing his paws with paint, but hey, here’s to hoping that he’ll surprise you pleasantly and not make too big of a mess. And there’s always an outside chance he’ll create a masterpiece and you can sell it to a wealthy benefactor.
Kitty-Casso is available at Amazon for $19.95(USD). And dog owners, don’t feel left out – they also make Pup-Casso for your anipals.

Hold This Cat: HTC and Robert Downey Jr. kick off $1 billion ‘Change’ campaign (video)
Posted in: Today's Chili
“Big things ahead?” Well, it looks like HTC’s earlier tweet wasn’t a cheeky hint at the upcoming 5.9-inch One Max; but rather, it was a tribute to the sheer scale of the new “Here’s To Change” global ad campaign. The company has just confirmed that it did indeed sign Robert Downey Jr. for a two-year deal, which includes starring him in the ads as well as getting his creative input in the process. Given CMO Ben Ho’s promise to make the company’s voice louder, it’s no surprise that he’s spending the same amount as last year’s worldwide sales and marketing budget — about $1 billion — on this campaign alone, according to an HTC spokesperson. Not bad for Ho’s first big act since he joined the company towards the end of last year.
We were also told that the entire “Change” campaign should cover the span of 24 to 36 months, during which it’ll be split into three phases. As part of the first phase, come Thursday a whacky two-minute TV ad will begin to air in key markets, featuring Downey and his fellow actors blurting out what “HTC” could stand for — “Humongous Tinfoil Catamaran,” “Hipster Troll Carwash,” “Hold This Cat” and more — in order “to invoke interest and talkability amongst consumers.” Interestingly, you won’t find many mentions of any HTC phone in the first full ad, but the subsequent phases of the campaign will eventually focus on the mobile features. There’s no word on the timeframe for each phase just yet due to all sorts of variables.
It remains to be seen whether Downey’s contribution will help drive sales numbers, something that HTC desperately needs to just about survive these days. Perhaps an Iron Man special edition One could be considered? Yes please. Anyhow, press release after the break.

Cat Fighter: Feline vs. Feline
Posted in: Today's ChiliWhen cats fight, it’s best that you steer clear and let them resolve the issue themselves. I don’t know about you, but I’m not too eager to step in between a cat fight, especially when the claws are out.
The Pet Collective put a pretty interesting twist to cat fights that you will no doubt find amusing, and it’s called Cat Fighter.
It’s a catty parody of the video game Street Fighter, and it’s excellently done, if you ask me. Instead of Ken and Ryu, we’ve got Ren and Kyu (see what they did there?) They’ve got nothing but their claws and sheer ferocity to fight their battles with.
Ken and Ryu rivalry is re-imagined on a feline level. See these Kittens hash it out in some retro SNES fashion.
Most cats probably can’t do the high jumps and backflips that you see Ren and Kyu doing, but hey, this is a parody after all.
On a side note, I find it extremely amusing to see a 5-Year Q&A journal in the center of the fighting arena, since I have the exact same one on my desk right now. Maybe I can host my own Cat Fighter tournament here when my sister visits and brings her kitties with her next week, eh?
