    Not sure I would make it to the train…

    I love all the names that guy came up with for capys…
    aquatic stressball
    giga gerbil
    hippo hamster
    walking coconut
    Also, “We don’t need stimulus checks, we need more happy capys per capita.”

      I know, right? Glad you could remember some of his lines. My fav was “giga gerbil”.

        I might have watched it more than once…and backed up a few times…

        I normally watch videos at 1.5x speed, which is how I watched it the first time (on my phone while working). I saved it to watch again after I got home, at normal speed, then turned on the subtitles. I’m sure there were more but those were my favorites. Haven’t watched any other videos of his yet but I will.

      I heard someone use the name “Hamster Dog”. That’s always been my favorite.

        Guess that’s why Cheesecake adopted puppies…

    I am so looking forward to linkies today! I’m wearing my capybara tee today and sloths are my other spirit animal.

    Poor Sebastian–so glad he’s safe and sound. Like Allein, I would never get on the subway if I had cat butts to swipe–I’d just walk around petting them.

      So much better than butts to wipe….😂

    Watch the Capybaras!! It is incredibly funny. 😂I couldn’t keep track of all the announcers wise-cracks. I am now following him🙄 Great entertainment!

    I’m guessing that those ticket gates are warm?

    This is the time of year when I deploy the anti-sitting devices for my laptops. In other words, heating pads. I have two, each with their own heating pad that I turn off and on during the day.

      ha! “ticket gates are warm” – that was my guess too Kar 🙂

    I love how the cats don’t even bother to move when the people slips their cards under them to pay the fare. What I don’t understand is how they can resist stopping to pet the cats, I took the subway for 40 years to go to work and I would have been late for work everyday single day if there had been cats on the turnstiles.

    • Dana November 30, 2023 / 1:59 pm

      Same! Instead of the dog ate my homework excuse it would be sorry I’m late but I had swipe the butts!

    “Swipe the butt” had me wiping tea off my iPad and tears of laughter off my cheeks. Thanks for a positive start to “fire equipment test day”.

    I love that someone tipped the cat. I think the kitty would have preferred something edible.

    • Duckie 🐥 November 30, 2023 / 12:11 pm

      Can you imagine how vast the cats would be if everyone tipped them something edible? And how happy?

      • JenDeyan November 30, 2023 / 5:07 pm

        Those would be some big kitties.

    I’ve read more than once about how street cats are treated very well in Istanbul
