Dear Chris: I used to think your show was good but I can no longer stomach it. I do not see why you need to show handicapped animals. You are making fun of them. The kitten from your last show with one large eye and one small eye was very distasteful and I prefer you to show animals that are actually cute as you suggest in the name of your show which has the word "cute" in it. Thank-you.

That was quite the freakish looking cat, but I am glad that it has a home and people who love it. The world is not a pretty place all the time.

Let me be the first to say, SUCK IT GEORGETTE!

How horrible. Do you gasp in horror when you pass someone in a wheelchair? Do you shudder in disgust when you see someone with an amputation?
I bet you're one of today's self-righteous, "look at me!!!", Britney teens. Well, here's some news......... animals, as well as humans, shouldn't be dismissed because they don't meet up to YOUR standards. As IF teens of today even HAVE standards. That is the biggest joke of the century. Bunch of self-absorbed, whiney, divas with attitudes. If you are so stupid that you can't stand the sight of a cat with one eye larger than the other, try joining the military and taking a tour in Iraq.
Warning, this will mean that you'll actually have to consider someone other than yourself for once. But you'll probably have a whole new perspective on the value of life, and how a physical ailment really pales in comparison to your shallowness.

I agree with Georgette. Chris is making fun of defenseless animals. There are plenty of normal animals to show. This show is getting too harsh and also slightly lewd, even though I think Chris is funny, just sometimes too mean.

Ok, all together, Today's (i mean this week,even this month) asshole is Georgeeeeeeeette.

I personally like the slightly risque route Chris has taken the show recently, and I'm sure it makes things more fun for him rather than the same six model kittens in a basket every damn week. ("We have no thoughts").
I think his method of showing animals with health issues to offset the naive, shallow 'problems' of most of his teenage girl viewers is a pretty excellent way of knocking them down a peg, and maybe proving to them that they aren't the only ones in the world with 'issues'.
In the words of Colty the Plastic Horse, "Suck it, Georgette!"
BTW: Chris, I'm part of the single, 20's-something gay male with cats demographic of your show. Just so you can keep track of these things.

So, you're telling Chris to "Not get cute with you" eh?
I'm very pleased with the way that kitty grew up. That is an awesome big eye. It looks like a jewel. I was worried about it as a kitten, but it's great to see it grew up looking perky. I like perkiness in a kitty cat. Or "mewf" as my hubby and I call them.

Chris is just like visionary Civil War photographer Mathew B. Brady.

Society has ingrained in many of it lazy minded participants an expectation of perfection. After all if we are attracted to something with less than a display of unattanable perfection how can it justify $1600 for a purebred puppy or $2000 for a purebred cat. (purebred: selectively bred to display an artifical, arbitrary physical ideal) How will the sell us more soda, or zit cream or expensive cars or plastic surgery in order to collect the most attractive mate. I think society should strive to make heart and soul the qualities that entitle you to be put on a pedistal.
being a happy kitten with a huge diseased eye makes you my hero Kiri. I think your adorable.
p.s. sorry Chris, but I think you need to ugly yourself up a little before all your audience is on your wave length.

Ohh Georgette - thanks for your opinion.... BUUUT - get over it! Do you really think the cat freaking cares? You & all the other dumb A's - c'mon! This site is meant to be funny, goofy, & even at times - stupid. Don't life so seriously.
Posted by: Jeyjey | January 11, 2008 at 11:16 AM
BITE ME, BITCH!
Hope you get glaucoma and people can't stand to look at you.
Posted by: T-Bone | January 11, 2008 at 11:18 AM
georgette, bless your heart (sorry I live in Texas, we say that to people who we feel sorry for), do you think that it Chris might be trying to show to his viewers that cute is not always perfection? or that beauty is in the eye (no pun intended) of the beholder.
Remember, people send Chris pictures of their animals, so Kiri's mom or dad sent her pic in.
I love my 10 year old bulldog and I hope that everyone loves their pets the same way.
PS. BTW, I am in the married, 40 something Canadian male with dog demographic of your show who also lives in the US.

Oh Georgette. How can you not know that your comment has rendered you blog chum for the frenzied hordes? Including myself.
I used to work in an animal shelter. We took in 20,000 homeless animals a YEAR in our little bay area city. Sadly, not every animal found a home because there weren't 20,000 Georgettes out there looking for puppies and kittens.
That said, if a homeless dog or kitty came in with a broken leg and we had to amputate it to save its life, sure-as-Georgette-hangs-at-Claires-at-the-mall, that animal would be adopted ... while "normal" animals would sit in the kennels for weeks or months.
People love animals who have overcome hardship. Big Eyeball Kitty reminds us all what overcoming hardships means. Try and open your eyes a little (like Big Eyeball Kitty, except open both of them) to the world.
Good luck, Kitty!

STFU, princess.
Having said that... can we take up a collection to get Kiri a stent to fix that?
Posted by: chip | January 11, 2008 at 11:22 AM
I reeeealy don't think Chris was making fun of the cat. And what's to say that Kiri isn't cute? Too bad you can't "stomach" handicapped creatures. Not every animal or human is perfect. Georgette, you're a terrible person, and probably have low self-esteem. But you already know that.
Posted by: Ian | January 11, 2008 at 11:22 AM
I agree with Georgette. We should take all of the handicapped animals and make them live in a basement so that all the healthy, cute animals and Georgette don't have to look at them.
[This is sarcasm. Teenagers, please don't send me your hate.]
My twin sister has glaucoma, and I wasn't offended at all by Chris' show. My sister's right eye is this yellow milky color and when we were in preschool, a teacher once told her, "Go away. Your eye disgusts me." Does Georgette teach preschool? If not, she should.
Posted by: Val | January 11, 2008 at 11:22 AM
Her name's not really Georgette is it? The only Georgette I know of was the poodle from Oliver and Company that was voiced by Bette Midler. BTW, I love Bette Midler.
Posted by: Rachael F. | January 11, 2008 at 11:32 AM
agreed! can't disabled be cute too?
I mean, if you had glaucoma, you wouln't be saying this ammount of shit you just did.
I'm extremely happy that this kitty has a family who love her and care about her. And, in adverse of your selfish thoughts, find her cute and send her picture to Cute With Chris, to be treated with respect as any other kitty!
if you have prejudice about disabled people (and with that, I mean humans and animals in general), then you don't deserve respect
Posted by: Juliana F. | January 11, 2008 at 11:33 AM
I love you just the way you are Kiri!!!!
Posted by: April | January 11, 2008 at 11:40 AM
Kiri is a cutie! I didn't find it "distasteful" at all. I think call her distasteful is quite rude. Just because she has glaucoma doesn't mean she can't be viewd and adorable and cute - I'm sure her owner loves her so why can't we? Get over yourself.
Posted by: Tiffany Nicole | January 11, 2008 at 11:45 AM
Chris is rightly trying to empower disabled pets. Shame on you Georgette for not understanding and thinking he is making fun of Kiri. I think Kiri would be happy to know she has lasers coming out of her eyes, just like any other cat.
I thought the show was only called cute with chris because of alliteration purposes. 'Petsarcasm with Chris' being a much better description of what it's about and has been about for a long time.
Now from what I understand about glaucoma, that eye needs to be treated and probably taken out (even though its expensive) and I hope Kiri's owners are working on it ...
Posted by: Lyanne | January 11, 2008 at 11:48 AM
Get a life. Kiri is so cute she's gonna win the cutedown (even though I voted for Chester AND STILL DO)
Posted by: Ann | January 11, 2008 at 11:54 AM
There really is only one thing to say- to coin colty-
SUCK IT GEORGETTE
I would like to add that I think you are small minded and don't even DESERVE to watch cute with Chris. I think it takes someone with a bit more of an open mind that can think out of the box. NEWSFLASH: if you sign on to this page JUST to see cute animals I beleive that you should walk on honey because you are not clear on the concept.
Chris is not making fun of these animals but I beleive paying them tribute. Maybe we should get someone to translate the content of cute with chris for you because sometimes what Chris says is not meant to be taken literally; you have to be able to look beyond the actual words- you have to be able to think abstractly. I believe that maybe you are not ready for CWC.
Besides, cute is cute not perfect. something can still be cute and not "perfect"; we are all flawed in someway
EXCEPT YOU OF COURSE GEORGETTE.
All your dreams are dead, honey. Please move along.
