southwesticanhascheezburger_feedThe hilarious thing about our crazy cats is that they're basically constant shape-shifters, fitting inside any nook or cranny made available to them. And yes, it's very entertaining to watch…by the time we eventually find them!
Shape-shifting is not their only unique superpower: They also often claim to be invisible, only allowing their yellow-shining eyes to peer through the crack in the cupboard…However, sometimes their "invisibility" glitches, leaving them more exposed than they realize, while remaining under the impression that they're completely camouflaged!
We're definitely not insulting their intelligence, far from it. This little hidey-habit of theirs brings a lot of joy to the cat-owning community, and we've got the evidence to prove it. Some examples are well-executed, others are craving improvement. Yet, both are equally adorable. So, next time you're in the mood for a little game of Hide and Seek, see if your cat is willing to play…You certainly won't regret it.
And if you don't have a cat or are currently away from your furry baby, here are 23 crazy camouflage kitties to enjoy, kinda…

icanhascheezburger_feedMom-mode got activated when this woman saw a kitten dash into a dangerous storm drain, risking it all to save a baby in need.
One woman was given no choice but to save a scaredy cat.
After dropping off her kids at school, she saw a trembling little furball in the street before it scampered into a storm drain. Without hesitation, the mom swooped in to save the kitten from the dank, dark dredges of the spooky drain and got on all fours to crawl into the tiny space. Forgetting any fear of small spaces and ignoring all claustrophobia, this heroic mom saved the kitten, but not without a few investigative scratches on her arms to prove it.

Admin Post: [#286 | Working Together] Amnestyfanweeklymod posting in fandomweeklyysabetwordsmithdialecticdreamer is hosting Magpie Monday today with a theme of "Loose Threads." Leave prompts, get ficlets! rocky41_7 posting in booknookrocky41_7 posting in bookspivot_to_ai_feedLast week was the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Every gadget maker showed off their stuff and told the tech press all about it. And it’s all AI. Toys, AI. Microwaves, AI. Hair clippers? You bet they’re AI. [Verge]
And, of course, personal computers are all about the AI. Everyone leapt onto a news report from PCGamer last Tuesday: “Dell’s CES 2026 chat was the most pleasingly un-AI briefing I’ve had in maybe 5 years” — which claims Dell has stopped with the AI hype because consumers don’t respond to it: [PCGamer, archive]
“One thing you’ll notice is the message we delivered around our products was not AI-first,” Dell head of product, Kevin Terwilliger says with a smile. “So, a bit of a shift from a year ago where we were all about the AI PC.”
It’s not that Dell doesn’t care about AI or AI PCs anymore, it’s just that over the past year or so it’s come to realise that the consumer doesn’t.
… So thank you, Dell, for making your CES 2026 pre-briefing so blessedly free of effusive AI chat that I just had to mention it.
Doesn’t that sound like a major breath of fresh air! Everyone forwarded this story around, saying the AI hype was ending! Dell is good now! Huge news!
If true.
PCGamer wrote down words the Dell executives said to them. But PCGamer was also gullible as heck, ’cos that and having no object permanence is a necessary job skill in the tech press. PCGamer, who play-act rebellious, but then they just push the marketing angle anyway.
PCGamer endorsed Dell’s marketing spin as the truth of what was happening — and not spin. And they had the already-existing context to make clear it was just spin.
Dell has not slowed down on the AI one dot. At most, they’re retiring their 2025 promotional slogan.
Dell has forecast $25 billion of AI server sales this year. You bet they’re all in on AI. [Dell]
Dell’s new consumer XPS totally-not-AI PC line — for the people apparently not responsive to AI hype — is branded “Copilot+ PC” and has Copilot buttons on the keyboard. [Dell]
Kevin Terwilliger is Dell’s Head of Product, the guy PCGamer quoted. But here’s Kev in another CES 2026 interview rambling about AI — which going to be huge in the, uh, future. Real soon now: [YouTube]
The first thing I would say is AI is going to impact every use case. There is no PC use case that isn’t going to be impacted by AI. It’s more of a question of the timing, right? And when these use cases are maturing.
Here’s Kev on this fabulous AI agent future, which he just calls “agentic” — this is basically the Microsoft push for a Windows made of AI agents:
If I could take you through some of our labs and show you how we’re starting to understand how form factors are actually going to change because of agentic, how workflows are going to change,
And never mind AI agents literally don’t work.
Terwilliger was at CES to push AI. PCGamer pretended there was nothing to consider except one specific set of marketing words, and that Kev wasn’t doing what he was doing.
So stop telling people Dell’s cut the AI hype. It’s just not true.
Also, like a true PC company executive, who definitely knows what a PC is and what’s inside a PC case, Kevin pronounces the 45 year old term “BIOS” as “bio’z”: [YouTube, 2025, 6:07-6:13]
That’s great, Kev. Looking forward to Dell’s PCs with Copilot A-1.
