Good work, Ben, as always.
Was TGray medicated or just unsure about the LZ?

T-Gray is cute. Bit is it TeeGray? T-Gray? Or am I off the mark?

Lol Ben.. I just have to say.. You are soooooo white.
So.. so white.
Me too by the way.. but yeah... Way white.
Hehehehehehe.
And your Tigré looks just like my Bastien! So cuddly : )

@Kimaroo - No Stars Upon Thars:
Tigre looks just like my own stripy tiger... only much, MUCH slimmer.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-580579-100x100.png\")
@Kimaroo - No Stars Upon Thars: I was thinking \"affected\", but \"white\" sums it up pretty well. Ben reminds me of those guys I knew in college who described themselves as \"quirky\" and did really stupid dances when they got drunk at the hippie parties.
Tigre looks like a Bengal. Yes? Bengal?
@Kimaroo - No Stars Upon Thars: Ah, we have one too. Tank. She's my fiance's cat. It took her 2 years to warm up to him, and 3 years to stop considering me the evil stepmommy. I just dunno about that cat...
@h3llc4t has a slow work day: Hm.. interesting. Bstien is always very friendly to people.. but he loves me the most. I think I'm \"his female\" even though he um.. isn't as male as he used to be.. if you catch my drift.
We've only had him a little over a year now.. he was a stray.
@Kimaroo - No Stars Upon Thars: Yeah, she's not really anything like any other Bengal that I've met before. We think something may have happened to her as a kitten (his parents owned Tank's parents, and admittedly the line had quite a few health problems and a rough start).
I guess it's my turn to show off cats now...this is as much love as I get from her. I tried to take a picture to send to my fiance when he was away on business, and this is the most she'd tolerate.
SO MUCH HATE FOR THE WOMAN THAT FEEDS ME AND SCOOPS MY POOP
HAAAAAAAATE

@h3llc4t has a slow work day: Awww. I like your evil kitty. At least she comes out from under the bed. I had a friend whose cat was feral and only came out of hiding when she wasn't home. Or when she was asleep. I crashed on the couch once and woke up with the cat pondering me. When she realized I was awake, I thought she'd slit my throat.

@Kimaroo - No Stars Upon Thars: Yeah, he's clearly going to be somebody's Dorky Dad, isn't he? In a very nice way, of course (mine kind of was too).
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-132151-100x100.png\")
@Kimaroo - No Stars Upon Thars: Haha yes this is the first video of Ben I've watched and it was somewhat jarring. Consumerist, though at times snarky and silly, is still like no-jacket required work attire. This threw me off.
Much love though!
Um... wow.
Ben, please, no more videos.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-244548-100x100.png\")
Off the hizzle, really now?
And your witholding of displaying new kitty till near the end of the video smacks of misleading advertising.
I may have to do an EECB to protest, unless of course you reveal the correct spelling of new kitty's name and discusss his oatmeal preferences.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-63807-100x100.png\")
@SkokieGuy: Tiigrayye was revealed around the 40% mark. Am I to assume that your attention fell so sharply after the kitty pimping that you thought the video had ended?
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-72887-100x100.png\")
@Michael Belisle: Please tell me you intended \"Tiigrayye\" to be an homage to \"Upgrayydde\" from Idiocracy. That would be so awesome.
@SkokieGuy: I admit that I only lasted about 30 more seconds afterward. Clearly, Ben needs to learn the art of keeping viewers in suspense all the way to the end.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-436259-100x100.png\")
Just keep Tea Grey away from that Xavier Gandhi guy.
Also, snap a cool pic of him in time for tomorrow's Open Pet Thread.
Can we please please please have a sneak preview of the site before it goes live - without having to attend some even in NY or wherever?
@valueofaloonie: I don't know.. they haven't even sent out anything.
Unless somehow I'm out of the loop.. There were lots of troubles with that survey, so I wouldn't be surprised if I thought I was on it.. but I'm really not.
Do we need the Cone of Silence?
@Kimaroo - No Stars Upon Thars: I wanted to be on the panel too. I have heard nothing. Oh please Ben pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease can Kimaroo and squinko and valueofaloonie all be on the panel?
@subtlefrog: You forgot yourself ; )
I hope I'm on it. When I did the survey I did agree and it gave me the year of consumerreports.org, so I've been watching my spam folder like a hawk. Who knows!
@Kimaroo - No Stars Upon Thars: I never got my year of CR, so I sort of assume I'm doomed to never be on. blast.

Adorkable. Seriously adorkable.
And the cat! He is precious. Now I just need to figure out how I can use the presence of a new Consumerist feline against the spouse's protests in my quest to get another cat.

@JulesNoctambule: may i suggest softening him up with the kitten video at this link? he has a goatee and looks like a cow.

@Radi0logy: I too am not a big fan of cats (pardon my name) in person. They are pretty cute and adorable and I want to be able to love them, but they scare the living daylights out of me when in front of me. A fear I just can't shake. My neighbor's cat loves my yard and will often greet me at my gate when I get home, look me in the eye, let out a big noise, and slip away into the back of my house. And when I lived in europe during college a cat on our block used to follow my roommates and I until we made it to our gate and then he'd return to the same spot down the road. We called his the safety cat who'd always make sure you made it home safely.
I@Radi0logy: I find it funny how so many people here are saying Tigre looks just like their cat. It's a cat. With very few exceptions they ALL look the same.
@Homerjay is utterly alone.: My two look dramatically different from eachother:
Alfred
Bastien
So as you can see.. Bastien looks like Tigre, but Alfred does not.
(Thanks for giving me more excuses to post pictures of my kitties. : ) )
@Lincolnsbeard33: Okay, I was wrong. That was stinkin' cute.
Of course, that's a kitten so it doesn't count.

got to love how most of the comments are about the cat

I cannot adequately express how jealous/sad I am that I cannot attend the parties. There just aren't words.
@Crabby Cakes: I can agree with that sentament. There really isn't enough time to make arrangements for me to attend since I'm in Texas and tickets to NYC haven't fallen into my lap, yet.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-939413-100x100.png\")
I can't wait to see the new site!!!
WOOHOOO!!!
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-53320-100x100.png\")
Ben, you remind me of one of my German Professors. That is all I will say about that.
But on a more important note, you need to have a meet-up further down the East coast (or slightly west of the east coast, but still in the eastern time-zone). Namely, you need to have a meet-up in Knoxville. For obvious reasons.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-513573-100x100.png\")
When Ben said \"make love tonight\", I felt a little bit...uncomfortable.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-529488-100x100.png\")
Cat sez \"wtf, y I floating?\"
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-16563-100x100.png\")
Bengal(ish) Kittehs rule over ALL!
(yeah, my latest is a Bengal(ish) rescue, although smaller than Ben's raccoon-sized beast)
@subtlefrog: Tigre IS pretty big, but i've seen larger cats, there's one keeping my feet warm right now. and numb, due to lack of circulation.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-469349-100x100.png\")
I disagree that the cat wasn't yet exploited on the site. You had video of his/her junk, and I don't recall seeing mention that all actors were at least 18 either...
Nice video, and I'm anxious to hear of what \"sticking it to the man\" means.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-142954-100x100.png\")
Moar Tigre, plz.
I thought \"Does\" was just multiple John/Jane Doe. So.. Does as in \"D'oh\" or \"Does/does not\" ? How's it supposed to be said?
I personally thought Ben was absolutely adorable and awesome in the video. I mean, in all fairness, I may be a bit biased as he reminds me a lot of one of my friends, but.. still. He seems like a cool guy to me. :)
Also, I wish the survey hadn't closed because I just thought of something I'd like to see more of on The Consumerist: Puppies. :P
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-86968-100x100.png\")
Ok, I'm a law nerd, and even I don't think law suits make good dramatic reading. Now, if Cash4Gold managed to exploit the golden cat hairs on Tigre, that would make it more interesting.

Is Tax Cat getting replaced with Tax Tigre?
When you said \"giant plaque\" were you referring to your teeth?
Why would you buy a cat that's so decrepit, someone has to hold it up for the photo?
I love Ben's eyebrows. The way they are straight but slope. Adorable!
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-169958-100x100.png\")
ben, do us all a favor, and NEVER say \"off the hizzle\" EVER again!
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-373707-100x100.png\")
The Cash4Gold drama is really starting to border on ludicrous. I feel as if TMZ should be covering it!
Tigre looks mildly confused. I like that in a cat.
\"Lots of free booze\" Any young female republicans gonna be at the partay? On another note, like the vids, but keep them under a minute, perhaps single topic.
If that cat could talk, what tales he'd tell.....
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-1315191-100x100.png\")
I had a kitty named Tiggrrr that looked just like your kitty, but he had to be given to a friend because my new landlord said \"no pets.\" I sure miss him. He had such an attitude!

T-Gray, or Tigre? How do you spell the kitty's name?
@Xerloq says Can I has Friday?: The kitty is what drew me to this video too.
@Xerloq says Can I has Friday?: In keeping it so it parallels Captain Duvel Moneycat's structure, it should be:
Earl T-Gray.
