This Week’s Tweak: Caption the Cat!

by ToriDeaux on March 13, 2009

*Ahem*

Ok, ok, stop laughing already. This is a serious tweak, dammit! Don’t you care about the plasticity of your brain, expanding your creativity, and so on? Oh fine. Keep giggling if you must.

Here’s your assignment.

Come up with at least three humorous captions for this photo… three because one would be just too easy. Edit: Ok, just one is fine - please? someone? anyone?

A few approaches to consider outside the obvious LOLcat approach:

Write it as a haiku, a mathematical formula, or in the style of a National Enquirer headline. Do it in iambic pentameter, imagine it as the front of a Hallmark Greeting card, the title of a show on Animal Planet.

And please, post your captions in the comments section, for the amusement of your fellow Tweakers.

Go Ahead. Challenge your Creativity. Caption the Cat!

“If one more dog sniffs my butt, I’m going to claw their nose off.”

“How come they give ME the flea collar and the dog comes back with more fleas after every walk?”

“Good stretch, good stretch … breathe into the pain … good stretch.”

Ha! I love the “Good stretch” one — that so fits her personality.

I’m so glad you accepted the challenge, Richard. I’m afraid I was reaching too far by asking for 3 captions. I’m officially lowering it to one - although you’ve set the example for what can be accomplished!

There once was a cat on the grass
Who tried to scratch his own ass
His leg was too short
For the scratch to import
So he settled for scratching his nose

Deep in the grassy syvannah the domesticus felinus is patiently waiting for the midget hyena to glance away before pouncing on it. His paw is poised for the final deadly blow.

“If you don’t get your head away from my butt I will swing my back paw and you will suffer from my deadly blow.”

ha ha I didn’t realize I used the phrase “deadly blow” twice until I posted this.

@whizmo I loved these… especially the limerick. And since this particular cat can impart a “deadly blow” with a half hearted drop of the paw, the repetition has been judged acceptable ; )

Thanks for playing along!

“Come on lil’ pooch push a little harder. My foot is almost to my ear!”

“I spy with my little eye…”

More of a limerick than anything…. but hey, it just flowed:

A cat lying in the grass all stripey
A dog close by making her hypey
A check of the gear, a ready paw so near
Rest in peace sweet doggy dear

Nancy, I LOVE this one!

So does the cat, I’m sure…
The puppy has decided cat tails make GREAT tug toys. After a while, the cat had enough, chased her around the yard three times, then used her secret weapon…. she sat on the pup.

Craig and Jackie, I don’t know how I didn’t respond to yours, but… they all have me giggling : )

Thanks everyone, for playing along with this one : )
