Well friends, this is easily the best thing I’ve heard all day. In fact, it’s late in the day, so I can pretty much confirm that nothing is going to top this unless my dinner gets up and does a jig. You see, Martha Stewart knows… everything, okay? (She does. She went to jail for it. They were like “You know too much!” Just kidding, it’s been a long day.) Anyway, as evidence for her knowing everything and topping even herself, I present to you “My New Kittens,” a blog entry wherein Martha proudly states that she bites the faces of all her new kittens to let them know who’s boss to let them know she’s their mommy!
First of all: They’re squishy-face kittens. I’m sure they have an official name but everyone knows they’re squishy-faced kittens. Second of all, Grace Coddington? That’s where I get my cats, too. Who’s not tight with the creative director of Vogue, after all? And third, here’s the coup de grace, the picture you all wanted, the picture that made my day:
I’m sure this is a *thing*, like that it is proven or something. But I can’t! I can’t. Because see, okay, I work from home. And Martha’s show is on at lunch time, so I will often turn it on for a minute to see what she’s cooking up. The thing about Martha is she’s like, simultaneously the least and most self-aware person ever. She has the cavalier ease of The Barefoot Contessa when she’s crafting, but she will cut off a guest mid-sentence. She point blank told Nanette Lepore her clothes were overpriced. I’d like to see her go toe-to-toe with Anna Wintour, just for giggles, which doesn’t seem too far-fetched since she runs with the Vogue crowd. The vogue-ies, if you will. But the bottom line is, it doesn’t matter if this is a real thing, because at this point, Martha can make the rules up as she goes.
I can see it now: Housewives all over the world will be picking whiskers out of their teeth over this.
Anyway, special thanks (and all real credit) to Whitney Jefferson of Buzzfeed for unearthing this gold nugget, because when it comes to finding things like this, you know, it takes a village. You can read her take on the whole thing over yonder.
So like, Martha Stewart, right?

Crazy! I don’t know if this is considered animal abuse, but biting her cats’ faces to let them know she’s boss?
It seems she has been too comfortable with the kitty litter.
I’d like to see Martha Stewart go against People’s Revolution Kelly Cutrone.

My boyfriend and I sometimes bite our cat’s ears when we’re wrestling with him. It’s all in good fun and we do it gently.

@TakingxOverxMe@xanga - I do this, minus the wrestling. It’s just like… a diff way of kissing him to me.

I always knew Martha Stewart was a little crazy…

i bite my cat’s face when we’re playing. sometimes he does it when i’m sleeping but it’s never hard, because i don’t bite him hard. i’ve also taught him human kisses, wherein he makes the smacking noise with his breathing and presses his snaggletooth to my face, sometimes successively
guest
I highly doubt it’s considered animal abuse, she’s obviously not trying to hurt the kitten. But Im a little skeptical that it teaches the cats anything…..if anything I think they would just accept it as affection.

Obviously Martha Stewart has discovered bath salts. hahaha

I love cats, but…yuck. She knows they lick their asses with their faces?
I’d rather bite the neck, they hardly touch themselves there, and the cat moms do that too.
guest
Who would want a cat that looks that grumpy? Okay, I know pretty much all cats all the time look pissed off. But those guys take the cake. I like the big goofy grins my dogs have.
And I do “bite” them when they try to get dominant. But I mimic a bite WITH MY HAND. Oh, Martha.
guest
Nom nom nom.. Lol. I do bite my cat from time to time, gently, if she’s being bratty. It works though. She always submits & has never bitten or scratched anyone (other than out of play).

Biten on the nape, well… veterinary told me to do this while my “mummy cat” was to tired to feed and cuddle all the kitten she had had (before we sterilise her). But on the face?? what the f** ?

@lttlegel - LMAO, horrible yet hilarious

@bombshell_couture@xanga - :) It is awful, I know… but that’s all I could think of. I had to share!

@atl_luv@xanga - D’AWWWWW
Haha, a friend of mine does this and she’s had cats for years, so I trust her judgement. The picture’s hilarious though, and I love squishy-faced cats
All of my cat-owning friends have normal-faced cats, but I thought Crookshanks in the movie was the most adorable little thing.
And we all know Martha Stewart’s a bit off, but I still like her. I think it’s funny that she cuts people off.
guest
It’s not like she’s gnawing their faces off, damn. Looks like she’s just putting her teeth gently on their faces. Why is this such a big deal?
guest
I’m biting my cat right now. He doesn’t seem to mind.
guest
@the_rocking_of_socks – i missed this one. But loved your response
guest
I’ve never heard of that… That’s bizarre…
guest
She’s not using teeth guys, relax. ._.
guest
hahaha wow, its not that bad especially if you’ve ever been a cat owner. My little demon is constantly biting me to let me know she doesn’t like something, to play around or just cuz she freakin feels like it and some times I don’t take it very lightly. I wish I could just bite her -.- maybe she will learn then
guest
This is not all that strange. I bite my kitties on the ears sometimes.. and some of them bite my head/hair/ears as well. I find it cute. =] Love bites. <3
