I meant e-bay, of course. I'm sure MKJ could dig up some new cat eyeballs or something...

LOL! That's horrible. LOL! Poor Kitty! Y'know...if memory serves, I believe that same thing happened to the Late Raul Julia (before he died, of course). That was funny too. LOL!

Eyeballs do not just "fall out" (or "fell our"). Ask Tina, she can tell you.
This sort of thing happens on Itchy and Scratchy all the time. It's normal behavior and nothing to be concerned about. Just wait until the next scene and old kitty will be good as new.

Sorry, your cat is doomed. Just pickle it and move on...

ewwwww. holy cr**.

My mother told me that would happen if I kept doing that to myself - AH, never mind!

She can wear a pirate eye patch. Everything will be fine.

Frantic: Doc! My cat's eyeball fell out. Will I have to subject him to the medical profession?
Dr. Duck: Nah. It's just a sprain.
Frantic: That's what I thought, too.

Tina, that makes me think of Thurston and Lovey Howell for some reason ...

There are laws on the books against naming your cat Phinnaeus or Hazel

Dear Sir
My cats and I are thoroughly shocked at the jovial treatment of this terrible event.

Version 1:
Frantic: Doc! I was giving fluffkins an anus massage and his eyeball fell out!
Dr. Duck: *click*
Version B:
Frantic: Doc! I was giving fluffkins an anus massage and his eyeball fell out!
French Doc: Sacre Bleu! I weel be right ovaire! Set upe zee camera!
Version 3.1415926:
Frantic: Doc! I was giving fluffkins an anus massage and his eyeball fell out!
Dr. Duck: Dammit Jim! I'm a doctor, not a marriage counselor!
Version Quad:
Frantic: Doc! I was giving fluffkins an anus massage and his eyeball fell out!
Dr. Duck Kibby's mom told you if you kept doing that to yourself....hey, is that the new Field and Stream?
Version Funf (Minuten, bitte):
Frantic: Doc! I was giving fluffkins an anus massage and his eyeball fell out!
Dr. Duck: Does he seem to mind?
Frantic: Actually, no. He's smoking a little cigarette and purring at the ceiling.
Dr. Duck: Yeah, that's what mine usually do.

Debbie H has the right idea; bronzing the eyeball and then giving it to the cat as a gift is a nifty idea. Maybe put it on a string and hang it from the refrigerator door. . .
I'd come up with more ideas, but I've got a lava lamp on the stove.

LOL.
Posted by: Lairbo | November 30, 2004 at 11:50 AM
I meant, "to use him, you have to ... oh, nevermind."
Kibby's new Field and Stream got me all distracted.
Posted by: Federal Duck | November 30, 2004 at 11:52 AM
I guess so Fed if it was the Duck Hunting article.
Posted by: BigD | November 30, 2004 at 11:54 AM
Just put one of these in whichever opening you choose
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | November 30, 2004 at 11:54 AM
Fed. Check out that picture - er, ARTICLE - on page 51! Talk about going blind - er MAKING a blind.
Posted by: kibby F5 | November 30, 2004 at 11:58 AM
oh sure, it's all fun and games until your cat loses an eye.

MKJ
Will you be able to see inside of your head at night without light? If so, is there anyone there?
Posted by: kat | November 30, 2004 at 12:08 PM
I hate when that happens. Once the cat's eye falls out, it's all down hill from there. Next you got the legs, falling off. Then the tail...

This reminds me of the cat I had as a child, who mysteriously managed to get his tail mangled somehow. All of the skin was pulled off, but half the tail was left behind. To this day, we don't know what happened. It was fascinating and gross all at the same time. The cat didn't seem to notice. The doc (not duck) amputated the remaining tail, and from then on we had our own custom made Manx.

SchadeBoooooy,
A cat has nine lives. So what if? Doesn't matter.
He has eight more than his master. I noticed that you have a dog and two cats. Who is going to take care of your cats after you are transmitted?
Posted by: kat | November 30, 2004 at 12:24 PM
Well, obviously, that was a hamster, not a cat, and he was holding it by its tail.
*tsk, tsk*
Some people never learn.

"Sorry, your cat is doomed. Just pickle it and move on..."
LOL.
Posted by: kevin | November 30, 2004 at 12:46 PM
and Fed, you quack me up.
*Ducks*
oops
Posted by: slyeyes | November 30, 2004 at 12:49 PM
Kat - I must have missed something. Transmitted?
Posted by: SchadeBoy (aka Mr. Incredible) | November 30, 2004 at 01:53 PM
I'm with Lmd33.
Krazy gluing a one-eyed cat to stuff is fun.
Posted by: Christobol | November 30, 2004 at 04:15 PM
Sure, Schadeboy!
Haven't you ever been transmitted?
It is more fun than a barrel of monkeys!
I'm talking about traveling into another dimension. You just step across the line, and zap! you're (not your) on the other side. I do it all of the time. it is called space travel, but really it is more like going from the 3rd dimension into the 4th dimension. (where there is no time boundries)Just make a wish and you're there!
Posted by: kat transmitted | November 30, 2004 at 04:35 PM
Schadeboy,
Have you ever thought about coming back as a manx cat? Originally, they were from the Isle Of Man off the coast of Great Britian. After your transmission, you might think about that.
Posted by: kat transmitted | November 30, 2004 at 04:40 PM
Lairbo, There is a company in South Korea that will gold plate it for about $79, as long as you don't sell it to a third party.

When I was in high school, we had a hypnotist come and do and a show for the students. One of my friends was hypnotized into believing his belly button fell out. It was hysterical watching him run around in a panic looking for it. He finally "found" it and then had some trouble putting it back into his belly, because it apparently kept wanting to hop back out. I was in tears laughing at him but I was also feeling a little sorry for him. I mean he had this anguished look on his face. Losing your belly button is a traumatic experience.

Just before my sister was scheduled to have emergency surgery to remove her appendix, she told my mother her nose was stopped up.
After the surgery,she started waking up and asked my mother what had happened to her "booger."
My mother said,"the doctor removed it when he took out your appendix!"
Posted by: kat | December 01, 2004 at 04:38 AM
Awesome post. I love stuff like this.
Posted by: Foqia | August 28, 2009 at 06:32 AM
Hi Lairbo, That was a weird thing. I am thinking what can be more appropriate idea and I will come up soon.
