I know you said to put the cat out, but...

What an amazing encounter with the manta ray. Who knew they could recognize people and trust one enough to let them help them out? Another Cutetropolis hero for our book.
And someone is chopping onions while I was trying to read the story on the puppy and kitty. Loving their names – Taco and Tequila. – mmm, now I want Mexican for dinner, lol.
OMG, that video is hysterical. Not to ruin the surprise but is it bad that I laughed while still feeling kinda sorry for one of the animals??? This is one video I could replay all day.
Like AJ, I don’t want to ruin the surprise so watch the video before reading further.
I don’t think you have to feel bad. It looks like the spring just started the chipmunk and he zoomed away. I don’t think the little guy/girl was actually hurt. It just looks so funny, though.
I also loved teh Taco & Kitty story. Especially watching Taco chew on Kitty’s ear and then Kitty grooming Taco later on.
Taco and Tequila have melted my heart. And Jake is definitely a shoo-in for Men of Cutetropolis!
The story of the mantra is just incredible! It makes me think how the world could be an actual paradise for people and animals if we worked to protect animals and they learned to trust us.
Oh, where to begin? I think I say “these are the best links ever” at least once a week but this time I know it’s true. The giant kitties (who thinks of stuff like this?!), wacky face sleeping cat, rude cats (which may be redundant), incredible and amazing manta ray, but best of all the sweet cat and puppy friendship. And yeah, nobody could’ve predicted the ending on that video. These links totally made my day. 👍
“best links ever” at least once a week!! LOL!! Agreed! Every time you think it CAN”T GET ANY CUTER….AND THEN IT DOES!!!
Laughing hysterically over rude cats and especially sleepy-face cat. Poor chippie! I feel bad for laughing. Must save other links for later.
I admit, I laughed at the video. But then immediately hoped the leetle chippymunk didn’t get hurt. Maybe slinkies weren’t the best idea. Since I haven’t been “bossed” by a cat, I do enjoy the pics and videos of them. Many times, bunnehs think and behave the same way.
Amazing links! And why do I feel like some of my days start exactly like that chipmunk’s day?!
I would have a hard time not poking at sleepy kitty’s tongue all the time.
Great links! The ray story was so amazing. I find myself saying something like this probably once a week now but who knew that manta rays are so intelligent! I LOVED the giant cats photos. I almost wish they were that big – almost. And the Taco and Tequila story is so wonderful. Good on their humans for recognizing and supporting their relationship.
I hate to be a nuffer…but I thought the chipmunk video was sad.
