Peeps, if I’m doin’ the posts today, I’m postin’ some tabby tigers. Noooo apologies. You did know there’s a whole Flickr group full of these fine felines, right?

Rule of Cuteness #4: more than one species of baby flopping around is cute

The color coordination is irresistible, and the low-down camera angle just accentuates the fact they are not much larger than the blades of grass they sit on. *But* I give them an 8.5—no paws are up, and there is the BEF on the bunny (Beady Eye Factor)

CuteOverload—where you can expect the maximum kittens per square inch

We really pack ‘em in, People.

Rhum, the orange Italian

Rhum the kitten and Aluccia wrote in, and all Aluccia said was: “i love him.”

P.S. Desktop photo alert! We’re talking twice life-sized, People!

Spring is here, and our lawn’s got the dandelions to prove it.  Yaaay.
Never mind that, though; this CO Classic is prettier.

And Now, Our Grand Prize Weiner

May 8, 2009 By
Congratulations to yesterday’s winner of Dolphin Discovery: Holly K.

Whew, we’re beat!  What a whirlwind National Pet Week this was!  You peeps bombarded us with jokes, rhymes and trivia–over 950 entries in all four contests!

That's just a tail, you perv.

And our grand prize winner, selected at random from all entries, is Toni T., whose clever entry, from the caption contest, went like this: Doggie:  “Where did your ears go?!” Birdie:  “Where did your wings go?!”

Toni wins our Grand Prize: A new Nintendo DSi game system and all four Discovery Kids games! Congratulations, and thanks to all who played, and special thanks to 505 Games!

Trivia Answers:

  • Day of the Dolphin (a lot of readers alerted us to another movie titled Sex and Death 101, and we would have accepted that as well)
  • Neil and Tim Finn
  • Pinball
  • False Killer Whale

Bruno Applies Reverse Psychology

May 7, 2009 By

Ice cream?  No, I most certainly do not want any of that ice cream.  It has an appallingly uneven texture, and the so-called “black raspberry chips” are mere flecks of color, in stark contrast to the deceptively luscious portions on the label.

Frankly, madam, I would rather eat broccoli than consume the pretentious, overrated swill I see before me, and if you had even an ounce of taste or discernment left, you would dispose of the uneaten portion posthaste–preferably in the short wastepaper basket near my dog dish.

Today’s Contest: So Long, and Thanks for All The Prizes

May 7, 2009 By
Congratulations to yesterday’s winner of Pony Paradise: Gina B.

And finally, no National Pet Week would be complete without a salute to everyone’s favorite pet, the dolphin (what, doesn’t everybody have a 950,000-gallon swimming pool?).  Well, if you can’t have the real thing, you could win the next best thing, Dolphin Discovery, if you can correctly answer these four trivia questions.

  1. What movie thriller features assassins code-named “Alpha” and “Beta”?
  2. What brothers formed the core of the musical group Split Enz?
  3. What game commonly includes kickers, bumpers, plungers, and flippers?
  4. The calf pictured below is a wholphin — a rare hybrid of a bottlenose dolphin and what other animal?

The new face of Disapproval

May 6, 2009 By

Audrey Tautou is the new face of Chanel, and “Pancake” the pup is the new face of DISAPPROVAL. (Also a great perfume name, by the way). This pup is at DEFCON 5, People:

My Name … is … Meow!

2003_4_matrix_reloaded_04_scolOne of the standout sequences in the otherwise unnecessary sequels to The Matrix comes when Neo fights off an endless swarm of Agent Smiths. Well, make some popcorn, because you’re about to see that scene the way it was meant to be made–with puppies!
