Short giraffes, cheese turtle, cute frogs, monkey mom taxi, and scene stealer.
I stick my neck out for nobody!

And finally: Cat-sting Call
Every actor knows that when you do scenes with animals, they’ll upstage you every time. (via Dana D.)
The audition slate is adorable. I sent it to a casting director friend.
Extra points to Mike for the Casablanca reference!
OMG, leetle frogs!!!
I didn’t catch the reference until you pointed it out, but there it is. I’m shocked, shocked, I didn’t see it myself.
Your winnings, sir!
You guys are on a roll today. Or a pure-bread cat.
I’m shocked! Shocked to find that gambling is going on in here.
(However, I am missing the original unintentional Casablanca reference…someone help me out..?)
Giraffe caption:
YES!! Wesley Ryan?? is so cute! What a smile and I loved when the cat meowed in indignation about getting shushed. LOL!
Cheese turtle needs to meet the pure bread cat..
Yes and we should put a little ham in the middle!
The hammie who went to the candy store made it on Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me this weekend (in a “finish the headline” game).
That’s a lot of ham.
Actors and bengal cats = extra laughs. That guy has mad catching skills. Obviously he and kitty have played this game a lot.
My casting director friend loved it!
It doesn’t hurt that both actor and cat are cutie-patooties.
If you end up helping this young man get a role, we’d have proof that Cutetropolis really does make the world a better place. Not that I ever doubted it, of course!
My sentiments exactly DebG!
I really have no idea whether the actor will ever be cast by my friend; it would depend, of course, on what projects she is casting and whether or not he is right for any of them. But I think she may share it will colleagues in her professional association, so you never know … it could happen …
Either that or the cat will end up starring in its own series.
Kitty is all “I have the brains, you’ve got the looks, let’s make tonnes of money’
The one-armed catch at about 1minute… :D!
Annnnd, take one million and one. Love that audition tape, he’s so sweet to his kitty. I just don’t know why he didn’t put him in another room, maybe the cat would cry even louder if he was locked up.
And you guys with the turtle and cat and ham on rye. Then the baby monkeys with moustaches, just did me in. Great links today Mike!!!
So he could post the interruptions on the internet, of course!
Might be studio apartment with an iffy lock on the bathroom door.
Glad you liked the monkeys! I was glad to see they made the cut today. So sweet.
Having been owned by Bengals for over 15 years, locking a Bengal in a place they don’t want to be or out of a place they do want to be will usually results in: a) scratched up doors b) attempts to destroy at least half the things in the room and c) yowling so loud it would be heard in the background of the video! They are crazy, and I love them.
Riley is gorgeous. The frog experiencing water pouring over him is so cute – the pleasantly surprised expression!
Gimli the dwarf giraffe is still a full 4 feet taller than me.
I love that they call him Gimli.
Also loving the baby monkeys, the kitten Riley, and OMG the frogs!!!! (finally had time to get to links)
I swear those Tamarin monkeys were designed by Dr Seuss.
