    For some reason my brain saw 300-pound cat, instead of 30. My mind was like “Damn! o.O”

      I just hope that kitty doesn’t try to sleep with them.

      My mother had a nightmare once about her car going into a ravine and drowning. Turns out the 25 lb cat was sleeping on her chest! We finally got him down to a svelte 17 lbs when the vet said to stop.

    Newborn calf link not working. All other links totally adorable, but for me Dalmatian puppy and Hank & Hippo are the winnahs!

    I love the Who-done-it? story of Hank and his Fuzzy Hippo (don’t forget to click on the photos to see all of them).

    Baby otter learning to swim is is a killer!

    In the last one the cat had to turn his head : Phew! Puppy breath!

    OMG floofy baby otter killt me. Is “otter fluffer” a job title? It should be, and I want to be one.

    • allein ? August 4, 2017 / 12:06 pm

      Um…my mind went straight to the gutter on that one. Sorry.

      (Disclaimer: Do not google this at work.)

      • debg August 4, 2017 / 1:05 pm

        That’s why I want to reclaim that term!

      • Murray C August 4, 2017 / 5:58 pm

        I must live in a cave – I have no clue what this can refer to. Story of my life – the last to know.

        • allein ? August 4, 2017 / 8:07 pm

          That’s probably for the best.

          I will try to explain it in a SFW way, Murray C.

          TV show cops were questioning a young “lady” at a certain “intimate filming” studio and she said her job was “fluffer”. They asked “what?” and she explained it was her job to “prep” certain actors so they were “ready” for the “action” in their upcoming scene.

          Only reason I know the NSFW meaning of this word, thank you _Law and Order_. ? I prefer the Cutetropolis usage.

          • Murray C August 5, 2017 / 10:31 am

            Ah, thank you – I think?! Consider me educated. I have to admit that, with some trepidation, I looked the word up but included “otter” which got me to the same kind of fluffer as the Cutetropolis version – thank heaven! (what’s SFW???)

    • Kar August 4, 2017 / 3:38 pm

      Thank you.

      Now please pass the mental bleach.

      I spent about 20 minutes looking at several otter videos – including a new pup, rialto. I had to pull myself away – and, DEBG, maybe we could share the the work of toweling a baby otter? Or I could feed her and you could towel her, then we’d switch shifts?

      I loved the purple hippo surgery with the subsequent cone of shame – I like those people!!!

      Did the Malamutes speak at the wedding, I wonder.

      Loved the Dalmatian and the pussy cat – yes, an extremely patient cat. Great bunch o’ links!

    UPDATE: Newborn calf story link has been fixed. Thanks to Ricky’s Mom for pointing that out.

  6. 6rabbits August 4, 2017 / 11:24 am

    The otter feets! ? The flippety floppety otter FEETS!

    Something tells me that spotted “cat” isn’t going to fit on top of that cat tree for long…

    • Kar August 4, 2017 / 12:02 pm

      Agree, that puppy’s going to be HUGE.

    • Smartypants August 4, 2017 / 2:14 pm

      That cat (the real one) has the patience of a saint!

      • allein ? August 4, 2017 / 2:20 pm

        I love his face. “Can you believe this?”

        Also wondering if pup had some help getting up there…

    Love, love, love the Hank & Fuzzy Purple Hippo story. (Also love that her full name is, apparently, “Fuzzy Purple Hippo.”) I can’t even see the pictures at work but I read the text, and they have some super funny and creative folks over there.

    “Hank and his purple hippo are a bonded pair, so if you aren’t ready for a 4 year-old chocolate Lab to come home when you adopt your fuzzy hippopotamus…well, sorry, we can’t approve your application.”

    HIPPO laws! (Nitpick, though, it’s HIPAA.)

    Glad Fuzzy Purple Hippo survived her ordeal, and that Hank has been cleared of all wrongdoing and allowed to go home.

    • allein ? August 4, 2017 / 11:57 am

      ‘K, I don’t know why my emojis don’t post from here, but there should be a red heart after “we can’t approve your application” and a tears-of-laughter smiley after “HIPPO laws!”

    I don’t think that baby otter understands yet that as an otter, he’s going to be spending a lot of time in the water. Love how they place him back first in that teeny wave pool.

    I also don’t understand how those trainers can resist cuddling him.

    I cannot stand how cute he is cleaning his fur and face!

    At one point during real otter mom swimming lessons, mom basically repeatedly dunks baby until he figures out he can go underwater. The sounds are the best part.

    “MEEEEP MEEE-brglglerlrlrr-MEEEEP”

    Gene calf reminds me of this :

      Omg! Hilarious.

    • fkaWaldenPond August 4, 2017 / 6:21 pm

      Fantastic!

    • Smartypants August 4, 2017 / 8:32 pm

      Adorable! Perfect match.

    • Blue Footed Booby August 4, 2017 / 8:32 pm

      In my kingdom cold at the mountains of madness
      Unending cuteness and these kittens which I heart

      • Blue Footed Booby August 4, 2017 / 9:03 pm

        This got me thinking: I *really* want someone to make a music video for Burzum’s “Dunkelheit” that’s all black and white footage of kittens wrestling.
