Bun for the Border

Not that the geniuses at Taco Bell need any more ideas, but someone just invented the bunny taco. But it’s just a wrap to give this bun some medicine.

If you prefer Korean cuisine, there’s also bunny kimbap.

What a feast for the eyes, Andrew Y.

Kitten Miri turned four years old this week, and Maru and Hana threw her a lavish birthday party — which in true teenage brat fashion she refused to attend.

Thanks as always to Maruologist Andrew Y.

Gentle readers, it pains me to begin today’s open thread with such heartbreaking news, but reader Tracy R. has just informed me that her beloved cat has been (chokes back tears) mildly inconvenienced:

So the tree people came today and the lawn people came today and the loud-recycling-truck people came today, all of which means Hamster did not get his usual sixteen hours of nappage in, so here’s Hamster being exhausted.

Photograph of one corner of a Suburban living room. There is a hardwood floor with a patterned rug, an armchair, and two cats scratching toys upon one of which rests a very tired cat.
I’m so tired I can barely nap.
