That iz indeed wun beeyootifull kitteh! I was feelin unhappeh earlier, work not gud, but seein the kittehs on ICHC and espeshulee this kitteh mek me feel much betteh!
dis be de best plaice you cod have come to be cheer’d up.
*looks around*
something’s fishy…
Sorry people but, the northern hemisphere circles counter-clockwise.
Thank god the kitteh is actually SPINNING counter-clockwise then
I was gonna mention that…
That’s what you get when you have people who are unintelligent. I thought that was obvious from the way they speak.
@@@@@fir da trowels hoo doan unnerstan da konsept ob lolkats oar lolspeakWilly boy, remember NPT. Come along to teh brakeroom for some cinnamons swirl caek.
ur missin teh point. U haz dose ub teh crabeecakes. U shuld nom cheezburger.
tru dat. btw wat happned to ICHC and why is weird nao?
AAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! MEH KITTEH ICON!!!!! IA WEID NAO!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
actually, hemispheres have nothing to do with sink draining, it’s an urban legend. google is your friend.
Slo tu drain tho
Teh hairr borl nidz kleenen badd !!!
No worryz… cheezburgers werk better than Dray-no…
O! Whu knu yu kuld get so much kyute into a sink?
nebber bee4 saw a draynklog taht hadded teh kyoot!
*swirl swirl swirl* weeeeeeeeeee!!! *swirl swirl swirl*
*runz bai adn swurlz AC sum moar*
*swurl swurl swurl swurl*
Suthern kitteh swurls counterclockwise Aifink.
ummm looks likes hes swirling counterclockwise to me……
Den he be suthern hemisphere kitteh, rite?
No he be northurn. Capshun wrong, scientifickully not rite.
oar himz go footsiez nawt-sekkund !!
Either way – is all bout purrrrrspektive!!!
*puts on snorgle snorkle*
See ya later – there’s a floofeh belleh waiting for a snorglol!!!
Hai Nenne !!
Yu stil in tehre ??
No, waitz !! Yoo popped owt upfred !!
* Iz like Narnia sumtiems !! *
*nods* u nebber noez whair deh peepz will b neggst!
It’s swirling counterclockwise
Well, it’s debatable whether the kitty is spinning head or feet first, but I was going to say myself – in the Northern Hemisphere, drains swirl counterclockwise. I hope that somehow the creator would consider fixing this and icanhascheezburger staff can facilitate.
if kitty was in space, which way would the kitty spin then?
THe hemisphere you are in has nothing to do with your the direction of your drain.

All of of that said, it was a cute lol.
That luks so familyar! Vereh similar to whut I sees eech mornink when I gits reddy for wurks. Eggsept mah tabbeh with whyt pawz pritteh mush fills up teh hole sink.
Sumtiems when we runs teh hayr dryer, he stands in teh sink and DIGS furiously with his frunt paws for awl he’s wurth, his eyez verreh serious and wide! Verreh stranj boi, mah liddel (or nawt so liddel) tabbins . . .
Wot a co-inky-dinc !! Ur tabbeh bi Dexter? Teh dikshun-ree sez Dexter meenz “on the right side”! Heez nawt shor iffen itz yur rite oar himz !!
Yep, mah tabbeh be Dexter. On the rite side, huh? It duz seem he always digs on teh rite side of teh sink. Cawz teh hayr dryer is on teh left side. So he faces away frum it, and DIGS!!! Prolly sum kynd of angziety mitigation response. But aym nawt making him sit on teh sink whyl I drys mah hayrs – that’s HIS choyce!
Okkasionally he will sit in teh sink lukking up at meh, and reech wun paw owt and SWAT at teh hayr dryer whyl it’s in mah hand. So wun gitz teh senz ther is no luv lost ther!
maor pruf (az if wii needed it) dat Kittehz is weerd.
Oh yesh, we has provin this scientifically beyond teh shadow of a dowt!
Hees onry sain hooz teh boss !!
Kvn RUNS in fr teh blo-drier treetment. Roles arownd on teh flor and luks berry sad wen Ai drize mai own hares. Maeks getn to wurk on tiem hard sumtiems!

No analog clocks where you live?
heh. yup, seems to becoming lost art reading the analog clocks. oh noes, the weather peeps be using archaic language to describe teh hurricanes.
You all know that this northern-hemisphere-water-swirls-the-opposite-way-than-in-the-southern-hemisphere is a myth, right? The Coriolis Effect works in large scales, with hurricanes and such. The direction of the water in your toilet has to do with the direction the water enters. Go to mythbusters or snopes.
dang. another myth busted.

pea ess
n a very carefully controlled experiment to remove all other forces from the system, rotation could conceivably play a role on scales as small as a bathtub. An article in the British Journal of Fluid Mechanics in the 1930s described an early attempt to do so. A few drops of ink were put into the bathtub water. It was claimed that if one observed when the ink stopped swirling, meaning the viscosity of the water had dissipated its initial vorticity (or curl; i.e.\nabla \times U = 0) then, if the plug was extracted ever so slowly so as not to introduce any additional vorticity, the tub would empty with a counterclockwise swirl in the northern hemisphere.
[wikipedia]
You should have read the rest of the article (the paragraph directly below the one you quoted):
In reality the Coriolis effect is a few orders of magnitude smaller than various random influences on drain direction, such as the geometry of the container and the direction in which water was initially added to it. Most toilets flush in only one direction, because the toilet water flows into the bowl at an angle.[25] If water shot into the basin from the opposite direction, the water would spin in the opposite direction.[26]

ketteh look happey
FAIL!!!!
The northern hemisphere swirls counterclockwise. Go look it up.
You are assuming that this is an earthbound kitteh
And we awl ar assuming kittehs obey teh laws of fizziks. When has ENNYbuddy gnown a kitteh to do whut it wuz sposeta do! *snerkle*
Owner: Kitteh, yoo are sposesta swurl counterclockwize!
Kitteh (whyle swirling clockwise): Yeah, R-I-T-E!
Owner: Ye cannae change teh laws of fizziks, kitteh!
Kitteh: *SNERK!!!!!!* Watch meh!!!!! *shows laws of fizziks his poyntee enz; fizziks flees wif a kwikniss!*
*fade to blak*
That was sort of entertaining.
Gee…ya don’t say?!?!? *tries to look interested and impressed*…

uh
counterclockwise?
but good try.
Seriously people, snopes, nasa, Berkeley science review, all are your friends. Cute lol but Coriolis has no effect on your drains.
um, thats anticlockwise right?!
UnFURtanately dis clockwise/counterclockwise thingy is jus an urban legend.
hello, I think you are a very nice kitty, Thanks for the lovely picture.
Isn’t the kitty actually going counter-clockwise? Assuming his feet are at 6 o’clock.
