  • recordari,

    Strangely I am now being followed by @DepeBufo for no reason I can think of other than this thread, who seems to have a blog about funny animal videos, and just posted this.

    The web moves in mysterious ways.

  • Amy,

    At last, a topic to which I can contribute without feeling entirely underqualified/irrelevant!

    Although my pick is less 'cute' and more 'how on earth did this happen!?' - nevertheless it makes me cry with laughter every time I watch it.

    I give you Two Angry Camels in a Car:

    Corgis need better pr; they suffer from association with their most famous owners.

    Had one on the farm - my sister's (it was a pet).

    We'd come back from doing something down the farm, kicked our boots off and my brother decides to de-flea the corgi before we go in for afternoon tea.

    Grabs the flea powder and the rag and rubs it all over the corgi, who stands there with his ears down & a pissed off expression.

    As soon as my brother has finished, corgi goes over to the row of kicked-off boots, heads straight for my brother's, picks up one of the boots and shakes it in his teeth, growling.

    Then he flounces off with his nose in the air.

  • Islander,

    One of the sickest gifts I was ever offered - by a really lovely Californian fan who I took good care not to upset- was a sea otter throw. I had to invent a fur allergy v. quickly - but just looking at exceedingly beautiful skins from at least a dozen sea otters made me feel ill - even though they had been killed more than 80 years previously.

    Must admit that cute animal pikkies normally dont do anything for me, but some of these are great! Especially the little head-on-legs - me wantodoshutup-

    That is the funniest thiing ever. And I like the old dog at the end "You let it happen". I can see it written all over her face. "Yes, and I thought it was amusing. And I still do. So bite me".

    Yeah, dont really want to know how or why they are in the car, but they surely do sound pissed off-

    There are those, of course, who perceive feline intelligence as a threat, and believe that if we let them, the cats will one day move against us.

    I've read Russell's words. I've seen Colin's eyes. I'm sure there is a very real threat!!

    And also, Colin appears to have grown disproportionately large so that could be part of the plan. Although it must be said that the last time I saw Colin, he was fleeing from an old dog. So he’s not that near to world domination.

  • Leigh Kennaway, in reply to Jackie Clark,

    You shut your evil mouth Jackie - Colin was not fleeing!! He was merely allowing the dog a temporary feeling of dominance until Colin was ready to put The Plan in to action.

    Now, that could be a point, Leigh. We'll put that one to Stella. She'd probably curl her lips!

    And then smack her chops. In anticipation-*

    For those allergic to kittens and puppies, enjoy happy manatees instead.

    Did someone say ponies?

    There are those, of course, who perceive feline intelligence as a threat, and believe that if we let them, the cats will one day move against us.

    I for one welcome our new feline overlords.

    A GANG of feral cats "the size of dogs" have been systematically terrorising residents of a Brisbane neighbourhood for more than a year, with one resident and her dog reportedly mauled last week. Moorooka residents say the cats reign of terror began more than a year ago

    I vote we send Micael Lhaws over to impose an anti-gang law. Right after we roll him in catnip.

    My favourite cat film clip would have to be Jupiter the cat - "what cats are really thinking".

  • dyan campbell,

    Truth be known, I'm going to struggle on ponies. That's basically a chick thing.

    A chick thing? - what about that story by Turgenev about some poor man who buys the horse Malek-Adel, a fabulous silvery-black horse whose indispensable traits - he could be left for hours without even tethering him to a tree and would just come over when he was called, would never, ever spook or shy or bolt, was the strongest, most sure-footed, fastest, most beautiful, most fearless horse imaginable - so perfect and so extraordinary that when he's stolen right out of his stable the poor man pretty much loses his mind with grief.

    And what about Alexander the Great and Bucephelus? Alexander the Great's legendary horse who shared many traits with Malek-Adel, except Bucephelus could only be ridden by Alexander.

    Bucephelus was the starting point for the greatest boy-and-horse film The Black Stallion. Well, greatest until they get rescued from the island where they are shipwrecked together, and it becomes an ordinary hollywood horse film. But before that, it is an almost mythical boy-saves-horse, horse-saves-boy film, with just the two players, horse and boy. The kid in the film, Kelly Reno is one hell of a rider.

    Not exactly a small furry animal, but, especially for Emma, the cute and eminently stroke-able Matt Smith is to play Christopher Isherwood in, ahem, "fetching underwear".
