According to BBC, Behbeh cubbersons "Zara" was born to a young and inexperienced Ma who wasn’t sure how to take care of her. At under three pounds, this cub woulda died if it weren’t a certain Linton Zoo Director. Eventually, this cub will be set loose in Uganda, but in the meantime, "Arnie" the cat is getting his snorgle on.
Mer…ALGH, Stephanie N.!
The little smoochie is the best part.
Cubbie is all “Get the camera out of mah face or I shall eat you when I get bigger. Yes I will.”

BerthaS, have you given in to the Call Of The Marmies?
I loves it. Arnie getting fresh with Zara!

This is simply adorable. Thanks for posting this! I absolutely adore cats, and know they can be just as loving as dogs.
Heh. Arnie, you old dog!
Ahhh this is such a cute picture!
Zoological issue: Is this really “kittens” or does this fall under “interspecies snorgling?”
awww, that is so squeet!
I can almost feel the whisker kisses.

romancing an exchange student. classic.
PASICKIE!!!!
EHN!!!!
(why oh why cant I stick my hand into my computer and pet what I see?)
I have heard the call, but I have not answered.
Zara already knows how to be coy and blasé about the attention! Look at that expression! In her little head, she’s thinking, “This is no less than I deserve! Look and learn, y’all…”
And Arnie is sooo sweet.
and very funny about the exchange student.
Um….Am I the only one scared for the folks in Uganda?
A big cat who equates humans with food and mama?
Kitteh is all “I lof you, let me wheesper sweet nothingks to you”.
Interspecies snorglingk? Not quite. Same genus, atleast.
Hiya cousin, nice to see you.
I love the expression on the cub’s face. It reminds me of my brother when my grandmother used to kiss him.

Thanks. Am dead. Bossman also says thank you for my blasting out his eardreams from my squeeing before my brain imploded.
Adorable!!!
Speaking of cublets, if you haven’t stopped by the Cub Cam lately, they are getting really playful. Looks like they’ve moved again to the other side of the enclosure. http://atvs.vg.no/player/?id=16995
Thus bolstering my theory that a red cat will mother anything if given half a chance.
I do appreciate the attention, but I wish he’d use Altoids!
Aww!
That just made my afternoon a little brighter =3
Kris…thanks for posting the link to the cubcam, I missed it the first time around and have been frantically searching for it. I do make regular visits to the black footed ferret cam though. Adorable little ferret baby!
they’re talking about this on the local news (the zoo is about 5 miles from my house) and about how the cub will be off to Uganda when he’s bigger.
i think i need to go a’visitin’ the zoo
What does it take to tame a wild lion? It takes nothing less than a Marmie called Arnie!
