“This little guy is a Quokka. It is a marsupial the size of a cat. It lives on an island called Rottnest Island, which is near Perth, on the west coast of Australia. The creature petting him is named Sowmya. She was having a bad day when a Quokka came out of the bush to say hi!”

From Cuteporter Lauren U.: “Here’s my 14 year old kitty, Ellie, de-stressing after a rough week in Watertown, MA. (We’re a little less than 1 mile from where they caught him.) She spent the morning fluffing her toe fuzz and promptly fell asleep purring.”

“Helloooooo! These are pictures of my kitty, Kippo. He is a Devon Rex and he is 11 years old, which according to the chart at the vet, that means he is 60! He’s an old man and he loves to hide under any covers that he can find. He is currently hiding in my purple bed. He is SO cute! Don’tcha think?!” -Annie H.

Snow Way! It IS Late April, Right?

“With it being the 24th of April and experiencing yet another snow storm, most of Minnesota’s residents are less than amused if not downright grumpy. However, Bear was thrilled! The woods by our home were magically transformed overnight.” -Cuteporter & Super Snow Shoveler Krista S., who has fingers crossed for low 60s by the weekend.
