THIS JUST IN: Pup Adopts Noisemakers

According to The Telegraph, when a tiger mom in a Russian zoo rejected her three cubs, a white Swiss Shepherd dog named Tallim stepped in to nurse them. Now the screechy cubs have their bellies full — and are giving their new mom quite an ear full.

    Oh my! That is an amazingly loud screech for such a little morsel!

    I’ll have to remember to play this at home tonight to see how my big kittehs react. :)

    I guess milk is milk.

  12. jnyjny says:

    Truth be told, that’s what I sound like when the alarm goes off in the morning.

  13. WendyD says:

    My Maine Coon regularly makes a loyd, screechy, raspy sound very similar to this — when he wants food very badly. I call it his “Eeeeeeeedhhhhhhk!” sound.

    That’s a lot of bark for those with no bite (teeth, that is)… but insanely cute.

  16. rescue gal says:

    “Ehn- hard to fierce when my feets won’t co-operate”!

  17. Wow. Someone has a lot to say!

    Scream and LEAP, little Kzinti, scream and leap.
    You’ll show those monkeyboys, one day.

    And the award for crabbiest sound ever made by a living thing goes to…

    Thanks, CO- I needed a happy tiger story today. Pt. Defiance Zoo in Tacoma, WA lost another of their Sumatran tigers yesterday. Sigh…it’s been a bad couple of years for tigers at that zoo.

  22. wuyizidi says:

    Geez, so demanding, it’s like they’re king of the jungle or something.

    Another Thing I Learned From Cute Overload: baby tigers sound like lambs!

  25. OMG, I want a little tiger! I fits perfectly well in my handbag ;-)

  27. I sure hope they don’t try to EAT mommy when they grow up!!!

  28. rooanne says:

    Wow. What a good doggie! Those bebehs are already trying to be ferocious beasts … I just saw “Life of Pi”… what a magnificent tiger in that movie!!

  29. Brigid says:

    I just want to thank Cute Overload and the CO community for the comments here. Much better than what’s on the Youtube page.

    • ceejoe says:

      i have pretty much stopped reading comments anywhere else.

    • wuyizidi says:

      Youtube comments are the worst, reading them will make you lose all faith in humanity. I’ve heard people say comments on sports sites are equally bad, but as tedious as all those “I’ve been saying this for weeks, so-and-so is a bum, he chokes at every opportunity, now this-other-guy here is a true winner, and a real class act…” comments are, they never make me yearn for zombie apocalypse.

  30. sugitomo says:

    I wonder if they think they’re dogs right now.

  31. Johanna says:

    As cute as they are loud…
