  • Hi kermit. Max and Shayna here in Tampa. Our food lady left her laptop out. Loved your post. Gave us paws HA.

  • my food lady buys large packets of catgrass seed and has a batch going at all times. humans are trainable so get yours to do that – remember that you are in charge here. my food lady fusses because I love all the knitted things and knead them with my claws out. that is her problem, not mine. see previous point about who is in charge.
    time for a nap now (preferably on foodlady’s knitting),
    your soul sister,
    sunshine partly cloudy.

  • Kermit – you are a big lump o’ love!

  • Dear Kermit,

    Just seeing your handsome furry face makes me want to shout, “Ziggy – drop the yarn!!”
    This is a phrase used often in my house. I’d love to hear from you agains sometime.

    Your new friend,
    Marjorie

  • Loved hearing from Kermit. Lol

  • Kermit, my FOODLADY LOL reading ur post this morning I’m always next to her when she’s knitting and she stops occasionally (not often enuf!!) to pet me while knitting;) consequently my beautiful orange Tabby fur is part of EVERYTHING she knits

  • Kermit,
    You are Total Hunk. Let’s get 2gether sometime over a dish of catnip, my place or yours.
    XXOO, Catrina Muffin

    • Best comment on this thread.

  • Foodlady takes pretty good pics of you Kermit.

  • Hi Kermit – Bitsy here. I like to sit on my foodlady’s lap when she knits (which is always). When she moves those sticks and that string, I just have to get them. If she doesn’t want me to do that, why does she keep teasing me? The best thing I have found to nap on is something called wool roving. It is soooo soft and cushy. Please write more. Your friend, Bitsy.

  • Cats and knitting! Two of my very favorites! Thanks for the excellent post, Kermit. I, too, hope to hear from you again!

  • This made me remember your funny story of years ago about Kermit removing pins from your blocking board, while sweater pieces were in mid-block. Your search function worked very well, as usual. I searched for “kermit blocking” and up popped the very post I was thinking of, from way back in 2009! https://www.moderndailyknitting.com/sabotage/

  • HI KERMIT. IM STELLA. MY FOODLADY RECENTLY BROUGHT ME TO HER HOUSE. I AM STILL GETTING FAMILIAR. SO THAT STRINGY STUFF IS YARN? SO MUCH TO LEARN ABOUT KNITTING. I WILL START NAPPING ON THAT STUFF RIGHT AWAY. MUST SPEEK TO MY FOODLADY ABOUT GETTING THAT INDOOR GRASS.

  • Awwww… Kermit, your fur looks wool-like in that first photo. Pepper is jealous that you get to sit on so much knitwear. Please send some to her.

  • KERMIT, YOU DID GOOD. FOODLADY WILL GIVE YOU EXTRA TREATS WHEN SHE RETURNS. PLEASE COME BACK AGAIN. TIGER & SOPHIE

  • So happy to see Kermit taking over the blog! #ilovekermit (I swear – someday that hashtag WILL catch on!)

  • More Kermit! More Kermit! More Kermit!!! Pretty pleeeeeeeeeease?

  • Kermit, You’re the best!

  • Kermit, I am so happy to meet you! Thank you so much for filling in for Foodlady today. My Allie is a tuxie just like you. Harley is a tortie but like you, she doesn’t do the cropped pullover. And also like you, I think, Harley is a good helper for blocking. Do you like to help by pulling out the pins with your teeth like she does?

  • Delightful Kermit! I love the multi-color fan-and-feather variation blanket Kermit is sitting on. Please remind me of its name. Thanks!

  • Kermit, you are precious beyond belief. Great hiding places too. (:

  • One of the best articles I’ve read lately!! It made me smile and most current articles make you sad . I vote for more Kermit articles.

  • Omg, the grass thing. Thanks for the laugh!

  • “like a prayer of joy”
    Genuine LOL 🙂

  • Penny n Lucy n Frankie sez hi. Can we haz yer auddograff?

  • hi Kermit,

  • I don’t like cats. Demand equal time for Olive, Dog in the City.
    -Toby the Wonder Dog of California. I don’t like cats.

  • Ms Lucy the Torby purfurs knitting bags made of wooll for maximum coziness.

  • scratch Kermit’s belly for me

  • Best.post.ever.

  • Kermit, you are one funny cat!

  • Hi Kermit! We are part of our food parents tiny Army; there are 12 of us.!!! There is a mama and her three ginormous adult children; they live outside ! The two house mamas are big kitties; Ragdolls. The rest of the tiny Army are all Napoleons….. what we lack in size; we make up for in our unknitting skills and festooning the food parents’ home. Thanks for writing… we are starting a fan club
    Molly, Murphy, Custer and Mandy,
    Is-adorable and Itty Bitty Kitty.
    Max, Nora, Nicky, Holly, Lucy and Orange Julia

  • Love this!!!!!!

  • This is by far the funniest “pet” post I’ve seen in a long time. Maybe ever. I always loved pet posts, because I love pets, but I never found them very funny or unique. This was totally different and unexpected. If this is all Kermit ever decides to put of himself on the internet, I’ll be happy.

    I love that he isn’t good at links but apparently he’s perfectly familiar with Google.

  • @thebiscuitreport wants to know why you don’t have an instagram so she can follow you on instagram! since apparently foodlady takes almost as many pictures of you as i take of biscuit…thanks for blogging today!

  • Dear Kermit, Perhaps you can relate to this:

  • heart that cat

  • Oh Kermit – You deserve an instagram account, as it would be a place we could gather ~
    Signed,
    TjGrowler
    Ps. Do you ever just take off down the hall with FoodLadys knitting? You should try it… the response is… amazing!

  • Hi, I’m Gracie, I enjoyed your post. I help my person knit sometimes. I like a circular needle, so springy. Please write more often. Is nice to hear from another cat.

  • FOODLADY RCKS!

  • Kermit, I love you so much!

  • My daughters cat “Bo” is just like your cat. When she is on her laptop No has to be right there. One of these dsys he is going learn he has to have a password to get into it.
