1. How can Zeus stomach that stuff?! Calorie-free? What’s the point?

2. There’s bacon in there, isn’t there?

3. Between the coffee and now Coke Zero, manic is probably an understatement.

4. with a little proper photoshoppery, that could be a truly gruesome pic

   in related news…there’s nothing quite like an empty cardboard box to amuse, stymie, and otherwise occupy cat-folk.

5. LOL! That’s precious. :)

6. Ahh, Cat-Butt.

   We don’t get to see much of the front ends of our cats either.

7. And here I was coming to incite a pixel-stained technopeasant rebellion due to the lack of photoshoppery. Obviously, Scalvi is a benevolent tyrant.

8. There seems to be a zero tolerance issue here.

9. om nom nom nom!

   (someone had to say it)

10. Somebody should submit the photo to Fark for a photoshop thread.

    Of course, I can’t be bothered to do it myself.

11. He’s just into the box. :-D

12. Black Hole Coke, won’t you come… yes, my brain went straight to LOLcat territory when I saw it.

13. A caffeinated kitty. Just what every house needs!

14. I can haz azpartame?

15. Cool. He’ll have you racking up the “Coke Points” in no time!

16. John and Readers:
    This is not related to anything on your blog, but I thought you all might be interested and, I hope, upset by it.

    Were you aware of the following:

    The largest atheist group on the planet — 35,000 members — just got deleted from MySpace. (I’d be happy to forward their URL with the announcement to anyone who wants it.). They violated no terms of service. They committed no offense. But they were found offensive, nonetheless; some Christians complained. Now they are gone.

    I read it today on Peter Watts’ blog. Here’s the URL:

    If true, why doesn’t it rate screaming headlines an all the blogs?

    I hope you folks noticed this. I don’t recall seeing it anywhere else. Certainly, not in any mainstream media.

17. Actually, could we not post comments that are completely unrelated to the thread at hand? I find them pretty deeply annoying.

18. John, come now. Unrelated comments are usually tolerated, but they must be teh funny in order to be accepted. They must also have a hook, which that comment lacked. For example:

    Your cat, being black and white both, must experience segregation at cat functions. That’s much like what’s happening on the … [insert shameless link here]

    Or: Speaking of bagels, anyone else ever see their belly-button twin in a Lender’s Bagel wrapper? I once accidentally spread cream cheese in my navel — I felt like a manic kitten.

    Trust me, a large part of your crew here are professional thread Hijackers. We had our own day.

19. Shawn Powers:

    There’s a difference between clueful and clueless threadjacking, and there seems to be more clueless threadjacking going on.

20. Mmmmmm, Coke Zero. I’m on-side with that; tastes like Coke, doesn’t make me fat. Well, fatter.

21. Feh. Where’s the Red Bull?

22. It has been a few years since the bacon incident. So John is trying new torture methods on the new kitty.

    The next picture will have a can of coke tapped to Zeus.

    I am calling Peta before the insanity begins.

    You have a time machine, then?

24. “1. You cut a hole in the box.

    2. You put your @*^% in the box….”

    That cat is right at home.

25. John,

    I’m as much of Diet Coke fiend as any human being I know, but don’t see the attraction to Coke Zero. Did you swap from Diet Coke to CZ, or did you come to Coke Zero from some other beverage? I’m curious, since Diet Coke plays in my life like Metallica’s Master of Puppets and the notion of straying away, while oddly appealing, frightens and confuses me.

26. That’s the best “Kiss my ass, Pepsi” ad I’ve ever seen.

27. Tehy knot find me nou…. I wellll hed hehehe

28. Will till he decides you need a cat anklet.

29. Pathetic Earthling:

    See here.

30. one of the cats here loves two things above all else-
    Buckets and Boxes
    sees one thats open and she can fit in, then Bam! cat is in.
    even when the cat can’t fit she still tries to, usually resulting
    in something similar to the picture above

31. I never got one of those in MY Coke Zero 12 packs.

32. Sure, witches get whole houses dropped on them, poor little kitties only rate a Coke Zero 24 pack. And where’s the ruby slippers?

33. I always got the impression that you had to go to G., who would reluctantly submit to the paparazzi. Z. on the other hand is quite the ham. He really is *your* cat, isn’t he?

34. Does diet soda really cause metabolic syndrome? Must I give it up?

    I’m a Coke Zero addict as well.

35. My Siegfried (pushing 16 pounds at almost one year old) still thinks he can cram any part of his body into that size pop box. He gets as far as his head and then goes “oh, noes, why isn’t this working?”

36. #72,

    Onyx claw sheaths instead.
