And finally: The Elephant in the Room
A hungry elephant in Thailand visited a kitchen with a takeout window. The problem was it didn’t have one until he got there. (via Andrew Y.)
Are we sure this one is a wig?
Yeah, that one looks like a natural supermodel.
Happy for the python snd the stork.
Right? That poor python girl, I am glad she is in such a better place now.
I’m so glad people found both these critters and had the compassion and knowledge to help them.
Amen to that.
I would have mixed feelings about an elephant breaking into my kitchen. Honored, of course, but also kinda annoyed about the damage!
Love the baby tanuki. And if I were in the market for kittens, Q-tip and Tina would have a home with me!
PS the cats are reacting to my return with open paws in some cases and hiding in others. Scorpius actually seemed really happy to see me! I got lots of purrs.
Yay for purrs!
I would gladly escort that little tanuki to the museum.
I have heard in the cat club that all of the cats were very happy to see you again, some of them were just a bit shy.
Hee hee I’m glad my cats reached out to you!
How have you been coping with your recent loss?
Thanks for asking. I expected to feel better after a few days, but it is actually much worse 🙁
As I don’t know where my path will lead in the next few years I’m afraid to get new kittens now and people around me keep recommending the cutest babies you can imagine. The house is simply empty without Marci. I still cry a lot. Gah soon i will be the official party-pooper of Cutetropolis.

Pretty sure we’ve all been there. I still cry about Pablo sometimes and it’s been over 12 years.
Thanks, Allein.
How is your leg and back?
Doing much better, thank you. 🙂
I miss Ricky every day, and it’s been three years since he died.
Bibi is a good companion, and I’m very grateful to have her, but I wasn’t ready to adopt until seven months after Ricky died. Some people are ready after a few days. Some people are ready after ten years. Some people are never ready.
Take all the time you need to grieve, and trust your instincts. The only “rule” is to be kind to yourself. Also, it’s totally okay to play with other people’s cats and kittens and not be ready to adopt your own. After Ricky died, I said hi to every dog whose owner would let me. It really helped. I wasn’t ready for my own, but I still got a supply of Vitamin D(og). And that’s me. If it doesn’t work for you, that’s totally okay, too.
Sounds like you’ve made a permanent breakthrough with Scorpius. Yay!
Oh Ems please never think that you are any kind of party pooper. Certainly not on this site. I don’t tell many people how badly I was affected by the loss of my fur babies when their time came. I am tearing up right now! It is a pain like no other and it doesn’t really go away – not completely. Share as much of your grief as you want or need to! Hugs!! 💕
Thank you, Dulcie. I’m just a bit impatient with myself.
Oh of course you are Ems. We don’t want to cry and feel lousy. But its your heart involved not your brain – so it will take time.
I read about the elephant before I saw the video or I might not have noticed this, but it put a big plastic bag in its mouth and I never saw it take the bag out. If it swallowed a plastic bag — even in a digestive system the size of an elephant’s — that could be the last time it bothers anyone. Tragically for the elephant.
