Animal Humor

This was going to be a cute alert, because I thought it was a cat's paw. But now, I'm not sure what it is, and it is henceforth designated as creepy. It's the stuff of nightmares, really. (I know, I'm not an equal-opportunity cute lover. So sue me.)

Remember Maru, the cat who loved to jump into boxes? Well, he's back, and he's got his furry head fixated on/in something new: a brown paper bag. This bag obsession makes him look like the Unknown Comic. He seems just as comfortable as that guy did walking around with a bag on his head. What a freaking weirdo — even by cat standards.

We all know chameleons can change color, but to see it in action in a homely setting (someone's kitchen?), with bad camera work and silly props (a gazillion different colored sunglasses) makes it somehow more magical. What an amazing creature!

Cat and fox are sittin' on a couch, k-i-s-s-i-n-g. Well, actually, it's the cat who's doin' all the loving. He's like the Pepe Le Pew of felines. "Mon cheri foxy, I looove you. (Mwah, mwah, mwah!) Eet ees a delight to haf you in my arms!" My favorite parts are when the fox's superbig ears go up like radars, and the look on the cat's face when foxy finally scrams. Sucks to be a lover in a world filled with the unromantic.

An exciting moment in the life of a house cat. Next up? Toilet paper shredding. Happy, happy, joy, joy!

What is it about our desire to mess with people — and cats — while they're sleeping? Stuff on My Cat introduced us to the pleasures of putting silly things on imperturbable, can't-be-bothered, too-cool-for-school cats, of the sleeping and the awake variety. This guy was inspired to make a music video as he stacks the cat with cards, a stuffed animal, an empty pretzel tin. My favorite part is when the cat wakes up and looks at him like, "Dude. WTF?!"

I'm not usually a fan of Look Who's Talking style voiceovers (for babies, animals, etc.) But Wilber (why not Wilbur?) here with his reality television show is so cute I will make an exception. Watch as ol' Wil naps, sits upright, chases mice, and reminisces about his long-lost love Daffodil. I couldn't tear myself away!

"In box now. (Stop.) Can't get out. (Stop.) Will be waiting here until you get me out. (Stop.) Cannot promise I will not crawl in here again, as I am obsessed with boxes. (Full stop.)"

Television sourpuss Nancy Grace and the ultimate sourpuss Lime Cat. Same attitude, same helmet head, same color scheme (more or less).

All's well that ends well when you buy a couch, and get a little kitty for free! Poor little lady cat. She was just hanging out in her little home away from home in the cubbyhole she created in this couch when the unthinkable happened. Hope she's OK!
