CUTENESS: Cute lacks the serious intent of Le Salon...

Sweet Halloween, everybody!

Although I'm a lion guy, I think tigers may be the prettiest cats.

Cheetah and Ocelot libel!

So post some cute pix!

Now, now Ladies!
Cats are a mystery that can not be explained.

Don't we all? I haven't been on a scale in years, and I'd resist if someone tried to hang me on one in a bag.

Lola! Almost a month and no Lola...did I miss something? Maybe this will bring her back:

*Dave Davies is looking fairly cute here so I think it fits the parameters of the thread.

*totally freaked out*

DAN MAT HAS THE POWER OF SUMMONING THE well, uh, ah... Seriously, I'm twitching a little.

I went on vacation and now I have a million billion more things to do, in three weeks less!

Talk to the foot, the boss of me!

AWWWW Pawpads!

Haha!!! Yes!!!

 

Sorry group, I'm going to post some disturbing stuff (to animal lovers) But I thought I should, after an interview I just heard on TV.

You might/or might not know, we in Aussie are 'already' having some severe bush fires. Global warming? And our Prime Minister is a GW denier! Arsehole.

Well, this firefighter today, kept mentioning how the 'pets' were rescued. Several times. I was impressed.
Everyone else was talking about the monetary value, but that bloke talked about the pets rescued.

This Utube clip is not about him, sorry, it is about one of our worse bushfire. A few years ago.

Guido.

Pandering to stupids and big business gets you into power. Still amazes me...

Stay safe Guido!!!

Hi, funny that Dan #19,

At the moment I have a 'wild' magpie with a sore foot. He eats out of my hand, but is still wild.
I would like to 'help' him, that foot looks really painful, but...

What Happens To Sheep When They Run Away From Their Loving, Caring Human Captors

An escaped sheep was found with 60 pounds of wool.

Shrek the sheep ran away and hid in a cave in New Zealand for 6 years.

 

 

31- Ha! Good one!!!

At least someone had the common sense to take a picture of Shrek in all his wooly, independent glory before giving him a shearing.

There's a reference to be made concerning Polyphemus somewhere too...to ward off the critics of the cute, give it a dose of highbrow...but my brain is not cooperating at the moment...

Now vy0123 that 'aint cute at all!
What is it a Krait? Albino Racer?
My worse nightmare stepping on one of those!

It is a lovely color, though!

Resolution wasn't very good, so I made it smaller.



Robert

And this is the one I saw on my Nook before I got up that I knew I would post here when I got to my computer.



Some of the others in the series are almost as good.

Robert

Eggs are animals and cute, too, aren't they?



Robert

Well, if we're allowed to cheat... at least once per thread...

This reminds me of a conference I'm having next month:

you see might really just be a

Ha, I wish!

I believe originally it was a spider, and it was in a Robert Burns tale as a poem. But look at this guy cast and cast.

The GIF won't post; click here.

Mabel, the Parisian bunny, is pretty cute.



Robert

#83,

...this is how to do a side kick in Taekwondo...

 

This is here rather than the cat group because there are ferrets involved. As I remember the cat in the comic strip, the one with the dog that wears a wrist watch, doesn't get along with ferrets, but apparently he is not representative of all of catdom.

What is the back story on that one 98?

-

not cute.

102: I agree. I find it rather disturbing. Thought I was pretty safe from that sort of thing in this thread.

Cat-ferret love is obviously a thing...

Fear the intelligent bunny!

So rabbit show jumping is a real thing. Who knew?

I think the bunny in 109 had the far better idea.

One of my favourite cats. The Manul.

 

Tragic news:



Robert

Is this a photobomb?



And is that a female bear?

Robert

Isn't it funny. My MAX brings in and Kills and eats a tiny Rattling, and then expects praise.

I DO understand that Nature requires 'animals be killed, often cruely'. I am still squeamish/uneasy.

Why?

Guido.

Outside the limit of cute for you?

Face-Off With a Deadly Predator
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zxa6P73Awcg

Thanks, #119, I have watched many "Attenborough" films and always remember that scene where a Killer Whale 'picks off' a seal from a beach. I still feel sorry for that seal, as I also feel sorry for that tiny Rattling Max kills & eats. I do accept '...nature red in tooth and claw...' But.

ETA. One of the reasons Darwin rejected religion (but his Wife didn't) was the question of cruelty in nature. Specifically the question of the spider 'paralizing' (sorry spl.) wasp.

"Cats are, first and foremost, natural-born hunters, as recent studies of the effects that feral and indoor-outdoor cats have on bird and rodent populations have shown. Cats allegedly kill billions of small animals every year in the United States alone. But that doesn’t make them evil — just extremely well-adapted to a carnivorous lifestyle.

Though they were first domesticated nearly 10,000 years ago, cats retain the keen hunting instincts of their wild ancestors, as well as the simple gut that allows them to digest raw meat.

However, many cats don't eat their prey, and sometimes they don't even kill it. (If you've ever had to chase an injured squirrel out of your kitchen, then you've seen this behavior firsthand.) Spayed female cats are the most likely to bring gory gifts to their owners. But they have their reasons.

In the wild, cat mothers teach their young how to eat their food by bringing home dead or injured prey. Domestic cats are no different. But in this modern age of spayed domestic cats, many female felines have no young to whom they need to pass on their hunting wisdom.

By leaving a dead animal on the back porch, your cat is acting out its natural role as mother and teacher. You, her loving owner, represent her surrogate family. And frankly, she knows you would never have been able to catch that delicious mouse on your own."

//What a great explanation David! So true - our Maine-Coon brings his toys to his aged, incompetent "two-legs" each night. Living in Florida we are very grateful they are only his toys after his attempts to feed us with live rats and two snakes!//

Thank you! Not exactly mine though.

The Teddy Bears' Picnic Lyrics
If you go down in the woods today you're sure of a big surprise
If you go down in the woods today you'd better go in disguise
For every bear that ever there was will gather there for certain
Because today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic

Every Teddy Bear who's been good is sure of a treat today
There's lots of marvellous things to eat and wonderful games to play
Beneath the trees where nobody sees they'll hide and seek as long as they please
That's the way the Teddy Bears have their picnic
Picnic time for Teddy Bears
The little Teddy Bears are having a lovely time today
| From: http://www.elyrics.net |
Watch them, catch them unawares and see them picnic on their holiday
See them gaily gad about
They love to play and shout
They never have any cares
At six o'clock their Mummies and Daddies will take them home to bed
'Cause they're tired little Teddy Bears

If you go down in the woods today you better not go alone
It's lovely down in the woods today but saver to stay at home
For every bear that ever there was will gather there for certain
Because today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic
Lyrics from eLyrics.net

The Teddy Bears' Picnic Lyrics

If you go down in the woods today you're sure of a big surprise
If you go down in the woods today you'd better go in disguise
For every bear that ever there was will gather there for certain
Because today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic....

If you go down in the woods today you better not go alone
It's lovely down in the woods today but saver to stay at home
For every bear that ever there was will gather there for certain
Because today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic
