It took one horrifying accident for the McCoy family to realize it’s best to carry a cat in the front pocket of your shirt, not the back pocket of your of pants.
The look on the plaid-shirted-cat-in-the-pocket boy is priceless! What I want to know is why is the Mom looking lady looking like she is another world? Perhaps she is wondering why she doesn’t have a cat, too. LOL!
“Suddenly….and to their horror…Julie, Amy and Jim realized they had arrived at the family reunion with their kitten in the pocket. Aunt Marnie was forced to banish them to the rear.”
Oh man! It’s actually an early focus group/screen test shot for the movie Alien. It was this photo that convinced the movie writers that the Alien jus needed to be scarier.
Well on another note. I never liked the acid/stone washed jeans that we wore in 1989 like the kid on the far right. For some reason the dye was ALWAYS darker in the lower part of the “fly area”. It always….looked….well…..damp. Am I right?
Uh-oh. Somebody’s allergic to their pocket protector. Plaid Boy looks like he’s in pre-sneeze mode and OH NO…..there goes kitty No. 3 into the next cornfield.
The kid on the left is the smart one who seems to realize how silly and fun it is to have a kitten hanging out of your pocket. Everyone else looks like they are trying to act casual as if the kittens are not there.

Cat’s in the Cradle…er pocket
No, no! You’ve got it all wrong! The cat goes in the hat, and the wocket is for the pocket.
That’s the most hilarious relpy ever!!
You’re right! And also, not in a box, not with a fox.
Would you like them here or there?
I would not like them anywhere.
I do not like this awkward fam.
I do not like them, Sam-I-Am.
YOU WIN!!!! Brilliant!!!
The Von Trappe family no longer finds whiskers on kittens to be one of their favorite things.
Nice!
haha!
And the three in the back, why don’ they cats in their pockets. Is it a form of punishment or a form of merit.
F1RST!
Sssssss….awwwkward.
Third at least by actual count!
I wonder how disappointed the cat-less people were at the time.
Is that a kitten in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
oh you beat me to it!
the kid on the far right looks pissed off about not having a cat in his pocket
i think he just is laughing at the face the boy in front of him is making

GREAT COMMENT!!! LOL……
Um……..
I love the littlest brother in the back cracking up in this shot.

OHNOES! POCKCATS IZ NOT HAPPYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant cross-reference score.
Though can I try “AWKWARD AWKWARD AWKWARD AWKWARD AWKWARD AWKWARD KITTEN KITTEN….”?
I think the boy on the far left just steped on a cat… Look at his face..
and what is the cat coming out of on the 1st girl… I dont see a pocket
His grin tells me, “If anyone had any idea what this kitten’s back claws were doing to my n***les, they would have a lot more sympathy on me!”
The look on the face of the boy on the far left, coupled with the pleated jeans, is priceless!
What’s with the boy’s fly on the left? That’s a bit awkward too.
The button and zipper fly also has the snap flap to keep kittens out.
You took the words right outta my mouth. My exact first thoughts when I first looked at this pic.
What a bunch of winners !
This is exactly how “Cat Juggling” gets started. The horrors!
Who are you calling a JERK! LOL
Haha I like this one, it’s very charmingly awkward!
Who else recongizes the Z. Cavaricci pants with the black label on the zipper area?!? Takes me right back to 1989.
Hell yeah! Z Cavs baby!
Let’s just hope they remembered to take the cats out of their pockets BEFORE their shirts went into the wash…
Somebody didn’t earn his cat.
actually he did, it’s down his shirt.
The look on the plaid-shirted-cat-in-the-pocket boy is priceless! What I want to know is why is the Mom looking lady looking like she is another world? Perhaps she is wondering why she doesn’t have a cat, too. LOL!
These are all cousins and the mom-looking girl must feel responsible for the younger crew.
Ooooh, everything about this photo is awkward!
Haha, that’s so odd and cute!
I love it!
It’s as if they’re lined up for duty in an army or something.
Purrrfect!
There is so much wrong with this very awkward pic. Hysterical too.
The cat on the left – the one looking innocent – has just given his carrier a nice warm surprise!
“Suddenly….and to their horror…Julie, Amy and Jim realized they had arrived at the family reunion with their kitten in the pocket. Aunt Marnie was forced to banish them to the rear.”
I feel like a dork for saying this, but i have totally put a kitten in my shirt pocket before, and it’s hilarious.
You made me lol. I <3 you.
THOSE ARE RACCOONS, not kittens.
I want a cat in my pocket, it would increase the “joy” of the work day!
Oh man! It’s actually an early focus group/screen test shot for the movie Alien. It was this photo that convinced the movie writers that the Alien jus needed to be scarier.
Lots of awkward hair in the photo, but hey, it was the 80s.
hilarious! I love the kid on the right with the red plaid shirt- his face is priceless
Well on another note. I never liked the acid/stone washed jeans that we wore in 1989 like the kid on the far right. For some reason the dye was ALWAYS darker in the lower part of the “fly area”. It always….looked….well…..damp. Am I right?
LOL….you are totally right…OMG, I cant stop giggling.
Why does the oldest boy look like he’s about to cry?
because he has a cat in his pocket.
awwww cute
Guy on the left looks like I feel right now.
I initially thought these kids just had really hairy armpits.
Nerd Alert! But seriously, this pic is adorable.
Uh-oh. Somebody’s allergic to their pocket protector. Plaid Boy looks like he’s in pre-sneeze mode and OH NO…..there goes kitty No. 3 into the next cornfield.
this is the funniest thing i have ever seen.
You know you’re in trouble when you start taking fashion tips from Morrisey.
After the photo was snapped……all three children were rushed to the hospital with a nasty case of Cat Scratch Fever!!!!
The first time this awkward tradition has ever been photographed.
Cute overload!!
the person third to the right really seems to be enjoying themselves
At least they don’t have ferrets in their pockets. That would be reallllly awkward.
The kid on the left is the smart one who seems to realize how silly and fun it is to have a kitten hanging out of your pocket. Everyone else looks like they are trying to act casual as if the kittens are not there.
Hihi, that´s so cute!
