  • brooklynzoo, on 01/12/2008, -7/+265now i can throw my cat down the stairs :)
    • Emnsta, on 01/12/2008, -6/+136what was stopping you before?
      • fxu1989, on 01/13/2008, -12/+5The fact he may be so wounded it would stain the stairs.

        Now, with the armor, it will save me 10 seconds to pick him up before any blood leaks out and throw him out the window.
    • stealth45, on 01/12/2008, -24/+3..And you couldn't before?
    • AJRiddle, on 01/12/2008, -1/+121Yeah, but make sure you tape buttered toast to it.
      • archer104, on 01/12/2008, -1/+80You fool!!! You'll destroy us all!
      • Wrabbit26, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1If both fight to hit the ground first then they will constantly spins harder and harder to succeed. the infinitely rapid acceleration could create nuclear fusion and supply you energy for the rest of you life......and 20 some odd generations down your blood line.
    • mearom, on 01/12/2008, -1/+29Yeah, but won't the cat have a higher chance of surviving with a suit of armor?
      • cwestpha, on 01/12/2008, -0/+14actually less of a chance. less likely the cat can position themselves correctly for landing on all fours and arch their back to increase impact time (and thus lesson the impact to individual body parts).
        • ElAssoWipo, on 01/12/2008, -0/+11And the force of impact will be greater too, more weight.
        • brucemanly, on 01/13/2008, -6/+1sorry to get all factual but: apparently cats require at least 11 stories (ish) in order to land safely on their feet, and beyond that they should land safely anyway, before that they may land on their backs. Their terminal velocity is a non fatal one. so no the armour would make it worse.
          • rnnbob, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1i don't think a cat could survive a terminal velocity drop.
    • Pilot85, on 01/12/2008, -5/+3Now i can throw my cat down the stairs and still have a living cat! first time for everything.
      • justok, on 01/12/2008, -1/+18And you'll know, as you see that cat walk back up the stairs in a very un-cat like way, that those eyes, even tho you can't see them behind the visor, are looking at you. Each jangle, each step is coming...RIGHT...AT...YOU! Then someone uses a canopenner, and you're saved.
        • vuke69, on 01/13/2008, -0/+3"Then someone uses a canopenner..."
          On the cat? You sadistic bastard.
    • fabDisaster, on 01/12/2008, -2/+6awwww ted, don't be dead dude!!!!
    • sotopheavy, on 01/13/2008, -3/+16That's one shiny pussy.
    • rentmitchum, on 01/13/2008, -0/+0Finally!
  • asdfuiop, on 01/12/2008, -32/+1http://www.worth1000.com/entries/34500/34684tdop_w ...
  • unicronband, on 01/12/2008, -29/+12Not much help when my level 70 black mage cat can dissolve your warrior cat's armor at 25 damage/sec.
    • bagelpirate, on 01/12/2008, -4/+12What if the armor has black magic resistance?
      • ruyz, on 01/12/2008, -2/+18then you can both give eachother hj's while chatting on wow.
        • jcc6655, on 01/12/2008, -2/+8WOW isnt the only RPG that creats such nerdiness.
          • DarkSamus, on 01/13/2008, -0/+4but you can both give eachother hj's
    • UnholyAvenger, on 01/12/2008, -0/+7My cat has armor-piercing adamantium claws.
    • digitalarcanum, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1well my cat can bubble hearth.
  • cowsgonemadd3, on 01/12/2008, -3/+32Cats with guns! America wins the war in iraq thanks to a load of cats with guns and personalized armor.
    • darkchild82, on 01/12/2008, -1/+7first they use dolphins & now cats ! :-)
    • Sam3425, on 01/13/2008, -0/+4With this suit of armor and a wig from www.kittywigs.com, any cat will instantly become invincible.
  • wiirdo, on 01/12/2008, -5/+173Chastity belt for your pussy.
  • Magnolit, on 01/12/2008, -17/+3OK, this is ***** up.
    • BlueSkyfish, on 01/12/2008, -0/+18It would be ***** up if it were for pitbulls and Mike Vick was buying the whole inventory.

      Oh, hey...

      • SiLenTJeaLouSy, on 01/12/2008, -1/+5Squirrel armor for the win!
      • breadfred, on 01/12/2008, -0/+4That is ***** up
      • klarthlester, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1There was a rottweiler helm on the OP site, too. I don't know why the section is cats and mice if dog stuff was in it too. Still, pretty interesting. A cat would never wear any of it...or would it?
  • Emused, on 01/12/2008, -1/+16"With this on my faithful mount Morris, we bring the glorious name of Nobunaga, back to its rightful place in the the eye of the Japanese people" Gen.Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
    Excellant Digg,Dugg
  • Cyberbladewolf, on 01/12/2008, -4/+17Put this armor on a couple of crazed cats and pit them to the death. Michael Vick's got nothing on this.
  • LmaoTzu, on 01/12/2008, -8/+158I CAN HAS TIER 6 WITHOUT GREED ROLL ?
  • cerealjynx, on 01/12/2008, -0/+21Uhhh....
    Jousting kittys? I wanna see...
  • Lane, on 01/12/2008, -2/+13I can't believe theirs no buy link wtf?
  • StarWarsFan, on 01/12/2008, -4/+112NO DIGG.

    Provide a picture of a cat actually wearing that thing, and then I'll digg it.
  • frostmonkey, on 01/12/2008, -0/+30You can turn your everyday Cringer into BATTLECAT!!
  • EserVerx, on 01/12/2008, -9/+1hey whats that sounds? another servers down.
  • kingofinternet, on 01/12/2008, -0/+4i can finally equip my larp dungeon raiding party.
  • UnholyAvenger, on 01/12/2008, -0/+105Best cat armor picture I've seen all day.
    • JorgeGT, on 01/13/2008, -1/+2Well, you have had a really boring day then...
  • petebert, on 01/12/2008, -6/+1worst server ever...
    thinking about it though, my buddy gave me space on his server. I should try and get something dugg to bring it down!!
  • CylonYoda, on 01/12/2008, -0/+2Not so helpless now are you?
  • lougoose, on 01/12/2008, -2/+22http://209.85.165.104/search?sourceid=navclient-ff ...
    • victorycig, on 01/12/2008, -0/+16For the click-wary: the above is a mirror.
      • lougoose, on 01/12/2008, -0/+8Ah, thanks. Forgot to say that. Got so excited that I finally got to be the first to post a mirror (lol).
  • edgeofreason, on 01/12/2008, -0/+4Janitor would be proud.
  • AshamedAmerican, on 01/12/2008, -0/+75"Lord Mittens.....RISE."
  • Todesengelvr6, on 01/12/2008, -1/+21Get ready for a whole new series of LOLCATS!
  • subterfuge, on 01/12/2008, -0/+8pragmatically, the suit should have gauntlets. think about it: how is a cat going to do battle? with its paws. they NEED to be protected, duh.
    • RobotBuddha, on 01/12/2008, -0/+2It'd also hamper the range of movement. It's not just having claws, it's being able to position them correctly. Hampering that would be like taking away 90% of their attacks to protect an area that's not often targeted by other cats.
  • itsHef, on 01/12/2008, -0/+2Is this supposed to be a callback to the armored squirrels that hit the front page a month ago?
  • stackered, on 01/12/2008, -1/+20NOOO! Don't you realize what you've done!? Meowth will now be unstoppable... oh lord Team Rocket is gonna catch em all...
  • ypSami, on 01/12/2008, -0/+3Quality. Very Quality.

    Take a look at the other stuff he has in the gallery. The space stuff is great!

    Gotta love work by passionate, inspired people =)
    • DeFex, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1i am surprised some moron hasn't come on and said "someone has way to much time on their hands"
  • MalDON, on 01/12/2008, -0/+1My kitteh did not approve. :( I want.
  • cowsgonemadd3, on 01/12/2008, -1/+8I have about 30 cats on the farm I want to donate to send to war. Please pick them up at....
  • prisoner24601, on 01/12/2008, -9/+3OK, I'll start it:

    I'm in ur armor...
    • mastaphoo, on 01/12/2008, -1/+5there's a reason it wasn't started before, and it's also the reason you're dugg down.
  • Diggpick, on 01/12/2008, -1/+3Yea...this isn't weird at all....

  • SocketNine3Nine, on 01/12/2008, -1/+1http://www.wowitemcreator.com/view/152733/General_ ...
  • sonofarex, on 01/12/2008, -0/+13from the site:


    "Q. Have you ever put a mouse into a suit of armour?

    A. If there was one question that I have been asked the most, this is the one. I have not put a mouse into a suit of armour. I have, however, tried it with one of my cats, and have the scars to prove it. Yes, it can be done, but that's not the point. I think the fact that this question keeps being asked has more to do with a wish to fulfil the ..."
  • tapeworm77, on 01/12/2008, -1/+5I CAN HAS ALL YOUR BASE?
