Yep, this turned out to be a primo panhandling spot. Plenty of tourists, lotta cash, and all I gotta do is flash ‘em that sad soulful look that says “what, you can drop a hundred yen to stare at Mt. Kitayama for three minutes, but you can’t buy me one lousy banana?”

Mewey won a sweeping (sleeping?) victory in the purrsidential election yesterday. Early returns show Mewey with a consistent lead over Human in the polls. All indications are that the complete returns will show that Mewey has won by an overwhelming majority!

In an article in Wired, science reporter Brandon Klein explores “self-domestication” in species like the bonobo, but notes that the trend from aggressive to peaceful lifestyles is necessarily limited in scope — or as he puts it, “Not that bonobos will soon be peeking out of cardboard boxes on Cute Overload.”

Ahem. Without further ado, we present a bonobo with a cardboard box.

And Monkey Makes Three

Judging from this video, monkeys are just kittens with the optional deluxe gripping and climbing package. (Dogs, of course, are just perpetually befuddled.)
