  4. Katrina says:

    Nurse Stef? Are you here to help Jen? Hold on Jen, preferably to a koala!

      *answering service comes on the line*

      Unfortunately Nurse Steph spends a few hours each day in Cubicle World and for some illogical reason the Gestapo there do not appreciate her value to the CO Emergency Ward. It will be a few hours yet before they release her to Actual Life.

      Will this hamster and hamster wheel be of any help??? Here’s a pink teddy beauw also.

    It is indeed the greatest job on the planet, except when they try to climb on your legs and you are wearing shorts!! OUCH >.<

    I would like to hear from tracylee, who CLAIMS eternal, violent HOSTILITY toward ALL kittehs yet “works” with bebbeh tiggers
    [Please note: there is a 99% margin of error in this statement].

    Wot of it tracylee? If you had your own druthers,
    but had to select EITHER koala bebbehs or tigger bebbehs, which would win out???

    • tracylee says:

      tigger bebbehs, hands down. for some reason koalas look animatronic to me. a little on the uncanny-valley side of things.

      as a side note: unfortunately there are no bebbeh kitties at the Rescue right now – the youngest are two of our lions, who are 3. and, alas, I’m only assisting on tours right now, so there’s not much “workin’ with” that I get to do besides give the occasional treat :D

      • Fird Birfle says:

        thank you maam for your consultantcy.

        On the side note: HOW DARE those mama tigers inconvenience you so thoroughly????

    *starts whapping head, rhythmically, on desk*

  8. Martha in Washington says:

    Shoot! I don’t have a babbeh koala climbing my leg! *adds to Christmas list*

  9. T.U.M. says:

    Don’t they have a denim-clad chimpanzee who can do this job?

  10. The Original Jane says:

    Approx. 2:05 to 2:30 – GAHHHH!!! Never seen one shuffle across the floor like that. And the clinging to the leg is exactly like the little clip on koalas everyone had a few decades ago.

    • hilz says:

      I know!! I don’t think I’d ever actually seen a koala walk in my life until that point, and they walk so cute and bouncy!!

  11. DillPig says:

    Attention: Nose touches at 1:38 and 2:58!! :-D

  12. sir isaak lime says:

    I want a koala growth on me leg.

  13. Gigi says:

    I agree with the lady, I prefer the nose sniffing that koala do to what dogs do :lol:

  14. Val says:

    I got to hold a koala when I was Down Under a decade ago (at a place called Wild World, in case anyone goes there), but it was such a religious experience, I don’t remember how it felt! I just have a picture of me grinning ear to (non-fluffy) ear like a cute-drugged fool.

  15. adora says:

    Wink at 1:07 :D :D
    I’ve touched koala, they are indeed stinky. But what animal isn’t?

  16. sugitomo says:
