Waffle and Tirzah are two cats that really know how to make a dramatic entrance into a crowded room. Heads turned. Jaws dropped. Conversations stopped, except for one woman who said, "Oh my God! Oh my God!"

Waffle, a black-and-white tuxedo cat, arrived at the Steel City Kitties cat show behind the wheel of a purple child-sized battery-operated car. His sister Tirzah, a tortoiseshell-and-white cat, lounged regally atop a fluffy white cushion in a two-wheeled cart pulled by the little car.

For the rest of the article go here. There is also a pretty good high resolution video there. The amazing thing to me is how well they are leash trained ...and... how laid back the cats are when in, or on, anything moving!

The cats have their own site here which opens to a cat driving video set to the tune "Everybody wants to be a cat"

Also on that site under 'Kitty Clips' is a short video of two local outdoor Christmas parades plus visiting Sanatc Claus in a local mall. (Click: 259 - 2011 Christmas Parades ...and Santa)

Baloney. Everyone knows cats can’t drive a manual transmission.

[blueunicorn6]

Dual horns.....nice touch.....let’s everyone know they’re coming.

[blueunicorn6]

What the heck does a cat need headlights for? I thought they could see in the dark.

[blueunicorn6]

“What kind of car is that?”

“I think it’s a Catillac.”

[blueunicorn6]

“Where’s that gecko now? I could use a little lizard lunch.”

[blueunicorn6]

He may have nine lives, but if he gets in front of me again doing 25 in a 70 zone, he’ll be down to eight.

[blueunicorn6]

Only pussies drive battery-operated cars.

[blueunicorn6]

Look at his eyes. He’s high on catnip! Where’s a police dog when you need one? This could be a catastrophe!

[blueunicorn6]

Everybody’s sayin’ that there’s nobody meaner
Than the little black kitty from Pasadena!
He drives real fast
And he drives real hard
He’s the terror of the mouses out in the yard!
He’s the little black kitty from Pasadena!

The antlers on the car are a nice touch. Feline redneck ... I like.

“I’m racin’ a greyhound for pinks. Put your money on the old Purple Pussycat. I’ve got nitrous.”

[blueunicorn6]

“Oh great.....a speed trap......maybe if I hack up a furball he’ll let me go.”

[Twotone]

Kitty ping...

I’ll take these two any day. You want crazy? I’ll give you crazy. I’ve got five cats. Last night they told me they didn’t want to be called ‘’cats’’ anymore. From now on they said they wanted to be known as ‘’Canine-Americans’’. Jeesh!

[jmacusa]

Typo, stupid me. They said ‘’Feline-Americans’’. Now I’m really in for it!!

[Slings and Arrows]

[NoGrayZone]

Oh please. I have accepted I will only be allowed “crazy cats”. To me, they are who they are, and I adjust to them.

They love me and know I am their Mommy, but they're still nutso. Thank goodness they don't have opposable thumbs.....yet!

It's not what you think...
