THIS JUST IN: Tiger Surprise!

Germany’s Frankfurt Zoo had a surprise; not only did they have their first tiger cub born in 26 years, but to a mother they thought was infertile. The zoo is raising the female, named Daseep, by hand because her mother rejected her (apparently, first-time tiger moms do that sometimes, so don’t be too sad).

They subjected her to a battery of tests, including… THE ANNOY-O-TRON 3000!

Once the cub is sufficiently annoyed, it is deemed to be mentally healthy.

Maybe if I Switched Conditioners…

It’s not fair… all the puppies and kitties on this site get lots of hugs and pet-pets and scritchy-scritches on their chinny-chin-chins. And I hafta eat lunch all by myself.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: This video is a bit like the “kitteh surprise” video from last year — only in this one, kitteh might have a little surprise for you.

Gareth Grey and the Roomba of Doom!

One by one, the initiates flew in all directions as the Vacuumodium continued its ceaseless unpredictable lurching. At last only Gareth and his bitter rival, Cedric Blackmon, clung for life as Prosciutto von Rosawurst, the pink lord of the Kitchen Lands, watched from on high with his hellhound Trixie. “Give it up, urchin,” sneered Blackmon. “It is my destiny to face the Final Challenge of Ish-Kabongg, not y–”

And with that, he was gone.

This Is Not in My Contract

(Man, I hate when the boss brings her kid to the office, ’cause that means I have to make nice with the little pest or I’ll be working Saturdays for a month…)

Philip Morris the Cat

After a long day’s tail-chasing, it’s time to relax with a good friend — and the smooth taste of Meowlboro 500′s. Using only the choicest catnip, the full-bodied flavor of Meowlboro always satisfies. Available in regular, menthol and tuna.

If I Could Walk That Way, I Wouldn’t Need the Genius Grant

Can you walk on air? Someday you might, thanks to research at the Bethesda Locomotion Extended Ergonomics Network (BLEEN), where scientists have developed a unique way of walking without one’s feet touching the ground.

The Amazing Hamboni!

Ladeez ann gennelmen! At this time, I direct your attention to The Amazing Hamboni, who will be launched from this enormous cannon, soar over your heads, and land in this bowl of tapioca. Maestro, a drum roll, if you please…
