A Nice Home
FOUND by Erin in Atlanta, Georgia
Stuck between the seat cushions at The Majestic Diner.
Kristen in bed...
Awww, I'd adopt him...you'd think since they had a poloroid they'd take a better picture...they are trying to get him adopted after all. On the other hand I have a cat with the same colors as Milo, I'll admit the don't photograph well...he's a cutie though.

How cool is that - a kitty you can play with and will be useful as a night light! You have to love how Polaroids like to brighten in the worst spots.

dont be fooled by his adorable kitten face...
the reason family gave milo away is because he made cat food out of otis

The ethereal kitten strikes again! Never before seen footage of the national phenomenon that always blurs in photographs.

That home isn't going to be so nice when Milo's through with it. Those blinds in the window behind him? They're like a cat magnet.

I hope Otis found just as nice a home.

Day-Glo Milo! Cute find!

The child in the family (you know, the wilfully stubborn 7 or 8 YO girl who told Mom and Dad "look what followed me home!") hid this picture between the seat cushions at the diner, AFTER altering the text on the picture. She really, really loves Milo, and is hoping that this will prevent having to actually give him away.

Of course, Mom and Dad will just take another picture (hopefully one of better quality this time) and get it down to Kinko's before kiddo makes it disappear again.

Milo, phone home! The spaceship is on its way. Meanwhile he is practising bicycle flying and is learning to speak English but has only got as far as 'Be Good'. His writing's quite good though - he was the one who altered the message on the photo: he has a nice home in another galaxy and he's desperate to get back there, although he has become quite attached to his little human playmates.

Ok, so you cute kitten lovers out there, go check out www.kittenwar.com Sounds violent, but it's the best and cutest way to spend those hours at work with nothing to do (Mona?) You choose which kitty is the cutest and then choose another then... so much fun and SUCH a waste of time :)

This is the cutest thing ever. SALT: Your an ass. You need to learn to show some respect to people here. I was not aware that pigs could type? Perhaps you SHOULD chop your dick off and do the world a favor because I would hate to see you reproduce. The world already has enough ignorance as it is. The last thing anyone needs is you corrupting another poor soul into your twisted and sick ideaology. YOU HAVE PROBLEMS.

I love when I find a cat between the seat cushions at a diner.

Kat in Texas
I'm thinking that Milo's original owner and present owner are one in the same. I bet the obviously young photographer, created this "ad" when Mom or Dad insisted that they find a home for the kitten. I'm sure anyone's heart would break when seeing the "ad" and reluctantly said, "Okay, we can keep him."
+ July 13, 2007 09:20 AM +
Pixi in MA
My first thought was kitten wars too. Since it's not a good photo of Milo we probably can't submit it though...he is definitely cuter than the losingest kittens, even with the bad pic.

Cats can be SO hard to photograph anyway...but w/a polaroid -ugh.

This IS a cute kitty though - I love the name too!

In this photo, he looks like a ghost or spirit.

This is sweet - I'm glad he found a good home, cause I'd have to adopt him and I don't think that would go over well here.

SALT, please STFU. we really don't care. take your aggression to another website.

Higs in the decorating department
This note was left by MILO because he couldn't stand the couch cushions and he was out soliciting for a new pad. Hopefully with some trendy minimalist design elements, but he was found by his owners and to remind him what he should be thankful for, the owners edited the photo and were going to make him hang it up above his food dish... but Milo stuffed it in the diner seat (where the owners found him looking for a new home) before they left.
+ July 13, 2007 10:31 AM +
Come on!
Don't you people realize that someone that was "really" SALT would be too busy swilling cheep beer, watching various sporting events, and beating off to Girls Gone Wild to even know that this site exists? It is a humerous persona. It make some of us laugh hysterically.

The sad thing is I wish hotmom was someone's "persona," but I think she's real. She's much scarrier than SALT will ever be.

I love this kitten. He made my day. I've always wanted a marmalade Tom cat. I wish Milo were mine.
+ July 13, 2007 10:45 AM +

I hope the "home" that Milo found wasn't in the kitchen of the Majestic Diner. He may have ended up in the dumplings.

You go SALT. Hotmom is obnoxious.
+ July 13, 2007 10:57 AM +
Not really in in the mood to get into the fray, so I'll talk about cats instead
Come on!, you should definitely get and marmalade tom some day -- we used to have an orange tabby boy-cat, and he was the sweetest, most affectionate (and frankly, most dog-like) cat I've ever known. We have many friends who don't like cats but loved Basho.

hotmom in your dreams
I leave commemts regarding the find. When I am addresses or attacked then I coment on a personal level which I do far less than most of you. Why have you decided to target me? Oh that's right, I have an opinion and am not afraid to share it. Must be pretty intimidating.

Back to the kitten... I Think that the photograph was intentionally blurry, because the owner is / was trying to get rid of a hideously deformed cat by playing it off as cut.
+ July 13, 2007 11:49 AM +
SurlyBitch in your nightmares
Why have we decided to target you hotmom? I think it is pretty obvious, but I will spell it out again. You make comments about the find, but somehow it always relates to how hot you think you are. Vain, Shallow, Arrogant people are irritating and annoying. Get over yourself already. The idea that we are possibly intimidated by you is beyond ridiculous and yet another example of your conceit. Shut up.
+ July 13, 2007 11:57 AM +

lol when will you people ever learn to just ignore Salt if he bothers you so much. I honestly don't care either way, I think he's funny sometimes and it makes me laugh when people get mad and/or preachy at him :D

when i was a kid, we had a cat that once was a kitten that looked just like this. Her name was Lucy, and as she got older, we called her Lucifer instead. Because she was the devil incarnate. She'd sleep at the end of your bed, and viciously attack your feet if you had the misfortune to think you needed to change position. gosh i miss her.

This is a very cute pic. I don't like kitten wars though, I know this is going to sound a little crazy, but it makes me sad. I dunno, maybe it's ridiculous, but I feel bad for the owners who submit their kitty photos and get rejected or don't get the votes or whatever. It would make me so sad if I sent in a pic of my beloved pet and then everyone told me he/she was ugly.

Also, hotmom, did I miss a post where you announced you kill babies or what? I guess I missed where all the hatin' started!

how funny it is, that nature of us humans, where we like to believe and hold to be true, the positive things that are said about us (like, say, we're hot) and vehemently oppose any negative things that are said (like, we're conceited and shallow). Well, those humans with inflated egos and feelings of self importance that go way beyond what is actually obvious to most.

Just an observation.

Most people with normal sized egos, will defer compliments (although we should probably try to listen more to the positive comments) and take negative remarks too deeply to heart. Which is why, sadly, hotmom will never hear those who are trying to bring her down a peg. So why even try. And SALT, well, he's in the same boat, on that same rocky sea.

This polaroid makes me a little sad.

Because here's how I see it:
Some child is moving far away and his/her parents don't want to move the pet to another state. So they're giving their pets away to good homes. They've put polaroids up everywhere, even at the local diner.

The twelve or thirteen year old goes in, takes down the polaroid and bitterly puts 'has' instead of 'needs' a good home, stuffed it between the cushions and drowned his/her sorrows in a delicious bit of french silk pie.

I feel sorry that they had to say goodbye to their beloved Milo.

I wouldn't be surprised if SALT was secretly my pal Peter J Woods.

And i've spent the last few months hanging up and handing out nude posters of Peter, dropping his name, and producing a couple plays he wrote. So, that shows where my allegiances lie.

That said, i got no problem with anything Hotmom has done or said, ever. At least not nearly as big a problem as i have with most of her detractors or anyone who tells people to shut up or otherwise behaves in such a way as to prefer moderation, structure, or other censorship on this forum.

Keep it free and wild, guys. it's more fun that way.

A Letter in Disbelief of SALT's Stupidity
This is Sean S. in Rockville MD.
I would like to defend ugly people everywhere by pointing out a couple of things. SALT: your pathetic opinion of people doesn't mean anything to me. I am sure that hotmom is a very beautiful and kind person. The way that people look has absolutely no bearing on what I think about them. I judge people based on their actions and personality. I was born with a genetic nerve disorder and because of this I have been judged and picked on because of my appearence my whole life. I don't care what people say about the way I look. Because of my situation, I have learned look at people for who they are. It makes no difference what someone looks like. Judging people based on that is just ignorant and shallow. It shows that you and all of your idiotic friends are uneducated and narcissistic. There are tons of people in this world who are considered to be 'ugly' by your standards that are beautiful people on the inside. And there are plenty of 'beautiful' people who are ugly on the inside. True Beauty comes from within. I am sorry you are too dumb to realize this. I would love to take hotmom out for a night on the town. I am sure she is a great person. It's not that my standards are low, I just have a different definition of beauty than you. Also, just because somebody gives birth to children does not make them 'loose'. That is just ignorant. I think every woman is beautiful to a degree. Regardless of whether she has children or what she looks like. Having children probably makes them a better more loving person.

Blow it out your Ass SALT.
Love, Sean S. in Rockville, MD.

Rex, realiz in g that i didn't say the thing i wanted to say about this find when i first saw it cuz FedEx showed up and made me actually do some work at my job...
A short play:

Estragon and Vladimir are sitting at the Majestic Diner, waiting for a friend. Vladimir has some papers, this polaroid, a pen and a glue stick, plates with remnants of their meal are also on the table.

ESTRAGON: Didi? ...Didi?
VLADIMIR writes something on the polaroid.
ESTRAGON: Didi, what are you doing?
VLADIMIR: Nothing.
ESTRAGON: Can I have a carrot?
VLADIMIR: If there are any left.
ESTRAGON looks over VLADIMIR'S plate.
ESTRAGON: Only turnips.
VLADIMIR: What?
ESTRAGON: What?
VLADIMIR: I asked what you said.
ESTRAGON: I asked what you were doing.
VLADIMIR: Nothing, i told you.
ESTRAGON: Okay.
VLADIMIR begins pasting the polaroid to the paper.
ESTRAGON: How much longer?
VLADIMIR: He should be here soon.
ESTRAGON: is that a picture of a kitten?
VLADIMIR: yeah, the damn thing followed me home, now i'm trying to get rid of it. Hopefully some poor slob will see this flyer i'm making and take the thing off my hands.
ESTRAGON: But, it's adorable. You should keep it.
VLADIMIR: Never.
ESTRAGON: Here, let me see. Yes, it's adorable and it followed you home. Keep it.
VLADIMIR: No.
ESTRAGON crosses out a word on the picture and writes a new one.
VLADIMIR: What are you doing? Gogo? No, Gogo, now i can't use that. Now i've gotta take another picture of the damn thing.
ESTRAGON: Or just keep the cat.
VLADIMIR: Lets go, he's never gonna show up.

He drops the polaroid on the seat and they exit.

THE END.

That was NOT an 'after School Special'. Everything i said was a heavy dose of reality. I passionately hate this S.o.b. Its too bad that his caps lock key is permanately depressed because it is stuck in that position with dried semen from jerking off to found magazine posts. I find it funny that all of this ugly exchange was brought about by an adorable little kitten named Milo. Have a heart SALT and keep your negative comments to yourself. Beautiful people suck. I am ugly and proud of it.
I have a lazy eye too. I think women with physical abnormalities are hella sexy. Oh and by the way, ugly people have better more passionate sex. Your just jealous. Get over it!

Okay, so, I find the fact that the Found comment section routinely becomes this passionate battle ground amusing and intriguing. I miss the good old days when the comments were funny and almost related to the find - but this evolution has been interesting to watch. Salt pisses me off, that's his job, he isn't nearly as funny or clever as he thinks he is - but he's an asshole and that is just great (especially when a nugget like "DID THAT GUY JUST TYPE AN AFTER SCHOOL SPECIAL AT ME?" bursts forth). Hotmom might be a hot bitch, she might be a hot sweetheart, she might be a man - who the hell knows? Why do we care? Why do we hate her for a hotness she may or may not possess? Why do we assume her definition of hot is the same as society's? I know plenty of hot moms with their own unique hotness.

Most of all I have to shake my head at all of you who try and change one another - this. is. not. real. Read, laugh, share and get on with your lives - who the fuck cares what someone on the found website who you will never, ever know to meet say or does?

But you don't need to listen to me, I'm just some judgmental bitch.

Hey! Remember when your mom would turn off the tv if she didn't like what her kids were watching (was that just my mom?). That isn't a power given only to mothers... You CAN enjoy the finds while 'ahem' not reading the comments/skipping the lame-o ones.

Milo is a heavenly looking little creature, I had a "Miotis" when I was a little girl because I loved that damn movie and couldn't pick between the names... so I combined them. The 'has' and 'needs' seems like a sarcastic fight between a cat lover and a cat hater in the family, I know my dad makes as many anti-cat jokes as he possibly can.

(I think people should stop using the comments as a means of forums, its annoying on both sides. I only come to see neat finds and read what other people think of them, not what some bored middle aged bitch and some punk ass kid have to say to each other. Email each other or find a hobby that isn't polluting the site. Thanks.)

A final thought in Closing
SALT: Yeah I would love an amputee just the same as any other woman if not more, and I would make love to her too! I am sure you can't understand that, but hopefully one day you'll come to realize that a person's personality speaks volumes. Whereas, their physical appearence means very little. But Alas we are living in a MTV commercialized society where so much emphasis is placed on physical beauty. So it is easy to see why someone with such little intelligence and oversized ego can view the world through this narrow perspective.

Furthermore, I fail to understand why so many of you ladies find SALT attractive? Since when did being a complete numbskull become attractive? I thought intelligence was attractive? Go figure. He is a cauvanist pig who has no respect for women except to treat them like pieces of meat. You all need to gain some self confidence and set your sights higher than this jerk. That is all. Sean S.

So, uh, Rex, where are you employed? Cuz if this is what you do on company time, I'd like to take my business elsewhere. As for the find, he looks like my Dingo did 10 yrs ago. Our veterinarian has said that male orange tabbies tend to be very affectionate and "dog-like". My Dingo was the runt of the litter, left alone in an alley. He was born with cataracts and he's retarded. When I'm home he follows me throughout the house. He's afraid of anything that moves. He loves being cradled. He throws up every time he eats. I wouldn't trade him in for the world. I hope this little baby also found someone to love him unconditionally.

Hey everyone. This website is about what people FIND. Not what people COMMENT about.

Everybody is boosting "SALT'S" ego by talking about her/him. So, stop insulting everybody and just post about the find.

It really isn't that hard.

And it's annoying to have 123 comments on one find... about what someone else said rather than the find itself.

If we're all adults here, then we should probably act like adults.
