I’m Indonesian and this is how this ‘cat oven’. ‘Cat’ is Indonesian word for paint. after you paint a car, you put the car into this ‘cat oven’ and heat the car so the paint will dry faster. it works kinda like oven, that’s why it’s called ‘cat oven’
and ‘sporing’ is Indonesian typical typo for spooring. spooring is realigning car’s steering system so the car won’t go sideways when it’s supposed to go straight
Legionella genus bacteria are non-sporulated, non-acid-fast, non-encapsulated Gram-negative bacilli, 0.3 to 0.9 µm wide by 2 to 20 µm long. They are generally mobile (some immobile strains), oxidase-negative or low-positive, and require L-cysteine and iron for their growth.
I have a friend who has had like 5 cats since high school. I also have a friend whos family would make deer jerky (it has a unique and yummy flavor). We gave my many cat friend a piece and after she said she liked it, we told her it was cat jerky and she panic’d and freaked out. We told her it was deer the next day but she hated us for a week.
I would be interesting to actually see the faces behind goofy, odd shaped avatars of Engrish
Lets see, now please don’t take offense if I’m wrong.
Conejita: Im picturing somthing close to the avatar but sans the ears. (If im wrong about the ears, sorry.)
Shadow: I picture a slightly skinny white kid. (All home school kids I’ve met have never been overwieght, due to parental guidance on diet. I did know a homeschooled kid who was literally orange because his parents go him on the habit of only drinking Carat juice. After a year of soda and water he turned normal.)
dr handle: I picture a 30 to early 40′s tanned (Australia gets plenty of sun) female, light brown- dark blond hair.
JohnB: I picture an late 30′s early 40′s white male average build.
bluejade: Not sure. Asian or white female.
lexan: Not sure. Definately male.
Paws: Not sure. you dont post as much so I don’t remember, sorry.
Well, let’s put it this way: I have zits that are late 30′s, early 40s. I’m 57. People usually mistake me for someone younger, though. I suppose you could call me average build, although I’m 6’3″, which is certainly not average height.
Yes, which is why I said you could probably call me average build, but not average height, although by virtue of years of weight lifting I’m still a bit more muscular than average, although not at all as ripped as I once was.
I’m not too sure about you. You post randomly without indication of male or female. Sooo… I guess an early to mid 30′s female. Average to below average height.
Yeah, it comse fomr an ancient Indonesian tradition of using cats for painting: They poured a bucked of paint on the cat and the cat got all pissed of running like crazy and this is how they painted small interiors in the good old times. For bigger surfaces the tool of choice was a cow. Once during the XII century they tried to paint the palace of King Nanga-Tanga III whit this method using a whole herd of cows which went all mad and ruined the whole palace wreaking havoc trough the whole island of Java, and this is how stampedes where invented!!!
A cat oven is a catalytic oven where a catalyst material is heated by natural gas and the catalyst then bonds more o2 to the exhaust gases making more heat. It is a very efficient way of making heat. Its like the catalytic converter on your car but for cooking.
It could have been worse. It could have been much worse. It could have been Jew Oven… Alright, that was bad. Lord I apologize, be with the starving pygmies in New Guinea.

Thank you! I thought it looked familiar but couldn’t quite place it. In the US, it’s simply called a wheel alignment. I like the word “spooring” better. It’s shorter, and sounds funny. =)
I’m indonesian and this is how this is how this ‘cat oven’ works. ‘Cat’ is indonesian word for paint. After you paint a car, you put your car in this heating room and heat the car so the paint would dry faster. It works kinda like an oven, hence ‘cat oven’
And ‘sporing’ is a typical typo in indonesia for ‘spooring’. Spooring is realigning the car’s steering system so the car won’t go sideway when it’s supposed to go straight
Well, if you want to powder coat your cat, you have to bake it in a kiln afterwards. It’s unlikely that the average person has a suitable appliance in their backyard, so it’s best to get this done by a professional for optimum results.
Either that, of this is what happened to Fuzzy. Damn you Cyrus child!
In the Indonesian alphabet, “c” is pronounced like “ts,” as in “tsi tsi fly”. So it’s not so much “cat” in the Western sense but “tsat,” meaning “paint” in Indonesian. “Oven” is actually meant in the literal English definition. “Cat oven” refers to a service performed by auto body companies where “cat” is applied and then one’s car is put in an “oven” to set the paint and give it a glossy finish.
Well, it appears old Schroedinger has upped the ante over the old cat-in-the-box trick. Now we not only have uncertainty over whether the cat is dead, but whether it is done.
otong why are u so stupid, u know that there are many natives here who didnt understand indonesian
and ur saying that they are stupid, oon, etc
u r the STUPID one u know?
native didnt understand Indonesian and ur saying they are stupid?
so if u r smart can u speak more languages rather that english and ur stupid indonesian language? i bet u didnt speak german
n u must be an uneducated guy from lower class family
u r the stupid and retarded one!
u stupid human
I’m not sure about stupid, but rude certainly, posting in a language other than the main lingua franka of the site.
I don’t speak any Asian language, but I do speak or at least read a bit of, most Western European languages, and the point is that a sign which, when read in English, says “cat oven”, that is an oven for cooking cats in, inspires daft images in English speakers. You might have to explain them to us, but we’ll get just as many laughs out of something which is written in English, but produces a surreal image when the collection of letters are treated as an Arabic alphabet representation of Indonesian.
awww…. c’mon peoples
no need to flame each other laaaa….
we’re here to laugh.
i’m an indonesian myself, and i also laugh heartily when i saw this picture in here. up until now, i never realize the meaning of that sign when looked from the english language perspective.
i do admit it sound’s funny when we say it in english language.
while when in indonesian language, it sounds normal, though, so i never realize it until now.
oh dear god would you just stop it people?! otong, hachimachuko sama siapa lah itu (emphasis on Otong), udah deh -.- nggak ngebantu juga loe comment kayak gitu disini, yang ada malah insulting & annoying banget. Non-Indonesians: Okay so you basically got the meaning of “cat oven” and “ac spooring” please leave it at that and don’t add fume to these ignorant miscreants. where the f*ck is the moderator here?! >;(
mmh, toasty!
Some meowing may occur. See kitty for details.
Thats an easy question. Its an oven for baking cats!! Or a oven cats can use. Or both maybe!
“cat oven” is an indonesian term for “dry-painting”
“ac/sporing” is “air conditioner”
“cat oven” is an indonesian term for “dry-painting”
“ac/sporing” is “air conditioner”
so there’s nothing wrong here
Except for the part where you replied to your own comment repeating the same thing.
But OK, I’ll look the other way and pretend there’s nothing wrong here.
And they use cats in an oven for dry painting? weird!
cat (read: ‘chat’) in Indonesian it means painting
They paint via MSN?
orang bule koq bego … piye to mas !
Did you just call white people stupid?
And if so, how many languages do you speak Otong? I speak 8, and can just about read another 5.

But wouldn’t the cat climb the car and ruin the paint while they’re in the oven?
jahhhh bule o’on lagi …. tjape dech !!!!
??? Something Something Tape Deck?
yeee kelaut aja loh nyet … hehehe
Javanese?
tjape dech dikirain tape deck
londo bloon !!!!!!!!
I’d have thought that putting cats in a paint kiln would result in them shedding on your attemptedly glossy paint finish!
Ah, that would be the new special textured finish. No extra charge.
I prefer the “Cat Rotisserie” myself. The oven just dries the meat out.
Set it and forget it!
HOLY CRABAPPLES! IT BURNS!!!!!
…and scratches!
Here Shadow, Shadow, Shadow.
*claws Kame, runs away*
and wtf is “sporing” for that matter?
spreading spores? no idea
That was my thought too.
AC Sporing
=
Legionnaires’ outbreak
Microbiological WIN!
Hang on, does Legionella sporulate?
Legionella genus bacteria are non-sporulated, non-acid-fast, non-encapsulated Gram-negative bacilli, 0.3 to 0.9 µm wide by 2 to 20 µm long. They are generally mobile (some immobile strains), oxidase-negative or low-positive, and require L-cysteine and iron for their growth.
Well, you learn something every day. Considering I’m off work today with a ghastly lurgy, I wonder what I’m incubating now?
What kind of eggs did you start with?
Toilet shark, if memory serves.
Oven for use by Kitteh only, no hoomin allowed.
I’z in my kitchun, makin browneez
My kittehs just found a second use for the oven – every day, I find jingle balls underneath.
Safari kitteh? Hmmm…
Safari, sagoodi.
John, you just took the words out of my mouth. Now go wash your drippy drool digits.
Yes and if the cat has kittens there remember that doesn’t mean they’re biscuits.
MMMM Kitten fritters.
I have a friend who has had like 5 cats since high school. I also have a friend whos family would make deer jerky (it has a unique and yummy flavor). We gave my many cat friend a piece and after she said she liked it, we told her it was cat jerky and she panic’d and freaked out. We told her it was deer the next day but she hated us for a week.
She hated you for being a jerk-y
That joke was all dried out!
Would you like to meat me and say it to my face?
Wait, on second thought…..
Yes.
Tough.
I would be interesting to actually see the faces behind goofy, odd shaped avatars of Engrish
Lets see, now please don’t take offense if I’m wrong.

bluejade: Not sure. Asian or white female.
lexan: Not sure. Definately male.
Paws: Not sure. you dont post as much so I don’t remember, sorry.
PoodleGroomer: same as above, sorry.
Let me know how far off I might be.
Like your description of JohnB, only looking slightly older since my hair is greying slightly at the temples.
They’ve been greying slightly at the synagogue? Shocking.
The Helen Thomas comments really whacked him.
Carat juice??
There is more than one bluejade, but one of us rarely posts due to lack of free time. Neither of us are Asian in this generation.
The jade part was throwing me off.
It’s the name and color of one of the bluejades’ dog; a lovely blue-brindle pit bull.
Sorry “Carrot Juice”
So does bluejade suffer from a split personality disorder?
Suffer?? We rejoice in it!
What does Droll look like?
I almost forgot droll.
Droll: Early to middle 30′s Male. Short, dark brown hair. Lightly tanned. Under 6′
JohnB is 56 or 57yrs old, and Droll is 59.
John has a big nose, used to work out, but not anymore. He’s tall and weights around 200.
Oh, yes you are right, I don’t have bunny ears.
I like how you made Droll into an elf.
How do you know so much about what JohnB looks like, conejita??
How is under 6′ an elf?!! Im 5’9/5’10
Dang! I remember that!
My comment is gone.
I will try again. Go to this link to see how I know what they look like.
http:// sendables.jibjab. com /view/F1mChvMLTSoNwDME
delete some spaces to make it work.
You got me almost perfectly. I’m a little muscular though… just a little under 5 feet 9 inches.
I’m just your average zombie. You know, gray skin, etc.
I still have most of my body parts…wait, I think I better check on that….
Well, let’s put it this way: I have zits that are late 30′s, early 40s. I’m 57. People usually mistake me for someone younger, though. I suppose you could call me average build, although I’m 6’3″, which is certainly not average height.
build not height
Yes, which is why I said you could probably call me average build, but not average height, although by virtue of years of weight lifting I’m still a bit more muscular than average, although not at all as ripped as I once was.
Do me!! Do me!!
Ok.
Shadow, I would spank you, but I’m afraid you might like it.
Yeah you spank him and you would probably end up getting a “Megan’s List” bumper sticker.
I’m not too sure about you. You post randomly without indication of male or female. Sooo… I guess an early to mid 30′s female. Average to below average height.
Iz making biscuits. Purrrrrrr Purrrrrrr
Iz in ur oven, baking mai noms.
A cat in the oven would just be cruel, a waste of good meat. I’d like mine ‘a point’ with bearnaise sauce. And no hair of course
Was that Hello Kitty or Good Bye kitty?
The cat oven seems like a useless extravagance, but how much is the AC sporing?
Makes sense since those that reproduce that way are resistant to heat.
That is funny, but I’m also genuinely wondering what it could be. Might “cat” have something to do with a catalytic converter?
cat means paint LOL
Yeah, it comse fomr an ancient Indonesian tradition of using cats for painting: They poured a bucked of paint on the cat and the cat got all pissed of running like crazy and this is how they painted small interiors in the good old times. For bigger surfaces the tool of choice was a cow. Once during the XII century they tried to paint the palace of King Nanga-Tanga III whit this method using a whole herd of cows which went all mad and ruined the whole palace wreaking havoc trough the whole island of Java, and this is how stampedes where invented!!!
You don’t find good information like this on Wikipedia!
I thought they used elephants in the palace…
I read somewhere that in those days there were majestic cow-elephants.
halah bule bego lagi …. bego koq dipelihara, apa kata dunia ???
A cat oven is a catalytic oven where a catalyst material is heated by natural gas and the catalyst then bonds more o2 to the exhaust gases making more heat. It is a very efficient way of making heat. Its like the catalytic converter on your car but for cooking.
actually, cat (pronounced chaht) is indonesian for paint. it’s just a paint shop.
I guess A.L.F. visits there often.
If that does not win, I will give you 3 of my own internets.
Niiiiiice!
Kittens give Morbo gas.
It could have been worse. It could have been much worse. It could have been Jew Oven… Alright, that was bad. Lord I apologize, be with the starving pygmies in New Guinea.
Amen.
“Cat” in Indonesian means “paint”
O.K. so why does paint have to be baked?
And,
What does ‘oven’ mean in Indonesian?
it means oven, stoopid
Baking the paint helps to “gas” it faster. Paint releases gases as it cures. That’s why I only paint things in the warmer months here.
In Indonesian if cat means paint then what would cat (felis cattus domesticus) be?
Kucing
Felis domesticus is ‘kucing’ in indonesian. Pronounced ‘koo-ching’
This indonesian ‘cat’ is actually pronounced differently than english ‘cat’. Indonesian ‘cat’ is pronounced ‘chut’
I’m Indonesian and this is how this ‘cat oven’. ‘Cat’ is Indonesian word for paint. after you paint a car, you put the car into this ‘cat oven’ and heat the car so the paint will dry faster. it works kinda like oven, that’s why it’s called ‘cat oven’
and ‘sporing’ is Indonesian typical typo for spooring. spooring is realigning car’s steering system so the car won’t go sideways when it’s supposed to go straight

Either that, of this is what happened to Fuzzy. Damn you Cyrus child!
I’m sure he was delicious.
Don’t worry about the cat oven, I have one and love it.
WTF is AC / Sporing?!
AC: air conditioner
Sporing: explained above
Basically it’s just mean they can do spooring and fix the AC in your car
I’m Indonesian, live in Depok
We love cats <3
They're delicious :p~
Depok is that near Tupok
On the corner of Chopra and Shakur?
Sorry. What happens at Bengkel stays at Bengkel.
This picture has been taken not far away from where I live (Bali, Indonesia). Cat in indonesian means “paint”. so they paint ovens! :S
NEDM
Cat oven. Like Beeth oven, but far less musical.
*cue sad trombone noise*
Wah-wah-wah-waaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
LOL “cat” in indonesian means paint…
The like cats , tastes like chicken
There’s tonnes of places like this in Indonesia. This one is in Bali, i can tell from the license plate; also i go past this place every now and then.
I’ve been waiting for a picture of this to be put up.
Maybe is kitteh’s cheezburger machine?
Sorry, had to say it.
I’m Indonesian.
Cat in Indonesian means ‘paint’.
Cat oven equals with ‘dry painting’
I don’t know if it’s cooler when they’re funny or cooler when you learn something. But either way, it’s very cool.
When life gives you cats turn them into ovens :p
Paint your cat
Google it
Wow! Beautiful but toxic.
Cat in Indonesian Malay means Paint (pronounced chat)
They meant to say Paint Oven. (for painting cars)
AC Sporing is Air Conditioner.
It’s just like Alf. Lol
In the Indonesian alphabet, “c” is pronounced like “ts,” as in “tsi tsi fly”. So it’s not so much “cat” in the Western sense but “tsat,” meaning “paint” in Indonesian. “Oven” is actually meant in the literal English definition. “Cat oven” refers to a service performed by auto body companies where “cat” is applied and then one’s car is put in an “oven” to set the paint and give it a glossy finish.
where you cook cats, duh. (poor kitty)
I can haz deth by fire?
the comments are funnier. Lol
this is not english fail , but different meaning of CAT in english and CAT (pronounced Chat) in indonesian it means PAINT
CAT OVEN (pronounced: chat ophen ) , and it has nothing to do with CAT (felis domesticus)
you guys r so serious about cat oven, duh! ^^;
im sorry to ruin your laughter, but “Cat” in Indonesia means “Paint”. Oven still means oven. Its used to paint over cars.
Still when i first came to indonesia i thought of the same thing lol
…
Um… Kame? Get the explosives.
Well, it appears old Schroedinger has upped the ante over the old cat-in-the-box trick. Now we not only have uncertainty over whether the cat is dead, but whether it is done.
DING! Cat is ready. Save me a leg.
………*BOOOOM*………..
*Reminants of “fdsfdsf” lay everywhere*
Ewww theres chunks in my hair!
Cat oven = Chinese restaurant
Don’t be ridiculous! Everybody knows you cook Chinese food in woks.
YEAH!! CHINESE FOOD WOKS, MAN!!! TURN THE EGGROLLS UP TO ELEVEN!!!
I will testify as a chinese – Yes, we no use oven. only WOK. no WOK no cook.
hah banyak orang luar negeri yang goblog-goblog ternyata
otong emang sotong
saya suka kucing bakar.
bule sotoy wakakaka
google “CAT OVEN” , you’ll find some indonesian websites that offer painting service
Those Indonesiens are way more advanced than western societies, instead of spending excessive resources on technology, they train cats to do the work.
funny huh?
jancok koen!
otong, lu bener! kayanya org kampung lbh eksis deh, ya kan?
ini bukan org bule sajo, ini mah org oon samua!
*eh samua org indo tambahkn hurup2 yg lain biar tak bisa ditranslate yak ^^
garing n jayus bgt org luar yak?
berisik lu, ga ad yg nanya pendapat lu juga, tawt
then who asks you for a comeback?
HAPPY CAT, DONT LEAF US!!!!
otong why are u so stupid, u know that there are many natives here who didnt understand indonesian
and ur saying that they are stupid, oon, etc
u r the STUPID one u know?

don’t they still understand?
now we can call them ‘retarded’
awww…. c’mon peoples
no need to flame each other laaaa….
we’re here to laugh.
i’m an indonesian myself, and i also laugh heartily when i saw this picture in here. up until now, i never realize the meaning of that sign when looked from the english language perspective.
i do admit it sound’s funny when we say it in english language.
while when in indonesian language, it sounds normal, though, so i never realize it until now.
will you laugh when you read “COLOR” in Indonesian ?
WARNA?
yes that is the translation for color , but when you pronounce it , it means UNDERWEAR
hahah yes
Just like Bat – Oven. but with cats.
NEDM
oh dear god would you just stop it people?! otong, hachimachuko sama siapa lah itu (emphasis on Otong), udah deh -.- nggak ngebantu juga loe comment kayak gitu disini, yang ada malah insulting & annoying banget. Non-Indonesians: Okay so you basically got the meaning of “cat oven” and “ac spooring” please leave it at that and don’t add fume to these ignorant miscreants. where the f*ck is the moderator here?! >;(
Uhh… actually “cat” means paint in Indonesian. It has nothing to do with cats or kittens.
For otong and hakimachuko, you two should be ashamed of yourself.
A cat-oven is where we hoomens bake the cheezeburgers!
i live there its where cats gets suntanned
nah just kidding
trams lation “paint”oven”
wich is dry painting
Its like a dog oven, except for cats
1000s ways to wok your dog
One of my friends once wrote a recipe for “Kentucky Fried Dog”; we never actually used it though.
Cat = Paint , in Bahasa Indonesia
So, this should be Paint Oven, often used to give the body works of cars and its parts a shiny surface
this one does not qualify as Engrish. People just need to be aware that the Alphabets are not just used for English. Other languages use them too….
*Facepalm*
what that means?
thats cruel how u put a poor denfendless cat in the oven
Very carefully, unless you want to become acquainted with the cat’s 5 pointy ends!
“Cat” iz acktually mins “paint” in malay. so teh reel minning is “paint oven” Thangs U!!!
Lol…even though i know the real meaning…it’s still funny…and besides…it’s their fault for mixing indonesian wit english on the same sign.
