Not That Mike The Other Mike


Cats become everything, Bei-Bei says bye, plugged-in pup, and world’s loudest bird, in today’s links.

You don't want this rubbing against your leg.

    Am I really confused or did we already see the hawk and fake bunny here.🤔

    The loudest bird is super weird—and what is that thing hanging from his beak? In the photo i thought it was a lizard or some kind of food, but its definitely attached!

      It’s called a wattle. That’s all I know about it, despite the fact that this bird has made just about every news outlet there is!

        Thank you!🥰

    I just saw the cathog scroll past on facebook last night (but I didn’t click on it)! (Cat creatures are cute, but I really didn’t need a catspider in my brain.) I like that they used a hairless kitty for the turtle.

    6 Rabbits – I posted the hawk & bunny statue video in another thread last week (Bunday, maybe? Or Weekend Open Thread? I don’t remember.)

      Hawk and “bunny” will make me laugh again later. I love the hawk’s visible confusion.

      The cat hybrid critters range from cute to creepy. Funny how natural cat faces look on hulking predators!

      Oh, that corgi!

        I love how the owl hardly looks different at all.

        • Alice Shortcake October 25, 2019 / 12:43 pm

          Well, owls ARE flying cats…

    • 6rabbits October 25, 2019 / 10:03 am

      Okay! 😉
      I knew Id seen it on the Dodo but i remembered it here cuz of comments. Thank you!🥰

    How is it that cat faces look good attached to any creature? Talk about aplomb!

      Not to mention a dollop of sour cream in soup!! (What kind of soup is that– Mexican? Borscht? )

      • Dulcie October 25, 2019 / 1:35 pm

        Oh borscht for sure. Nice chunky beets. Sprig of dill. And of course the “extra special” dollop of cream!
        And PS…back to politics…not into separatism in any way, shape, or form. My utopia is inclusion. And I’m sure we’ll work it all out. Our east vs west squabbles are just politicians posturing!

    Who knew a spider could be almost cute if it had a cat face!
