Cat scratch fever

Although the blog has a very pro-puppy name, I love all sorts of animals (cats included… you may recall my weakness for sleeping kittens).  So, today’s No Frown Friday post is dedicated to the big cats out there…

  1. As always, we begin with a dose of punny: Leopardo DiCatrio, Cheetah Rivera, Jaguar-ren Beatty and Puma Thurman.  (P.S. Apparently my punning abilities qualify me for a job naming crappy wine. Who knew?)
  2. Those big cats must be born with good PR skills.  They know how to make the rounds on the talk show circuit and ambush us with epic cuteness.  Don’t believe me?  Check out this fuzzy leopard cub on Letterman… and this baby cheetah (with bonus puppy BFF) on the Today Show.
  3. Speaking of cheetahs, this little guy could have quite the career on the talk show circuit doing bird impressions.
  4. The cheetah cubs at the National Zoo make me smile.  That is all.
  5. Baby tigersLion cubs! A dog named Lion!  I’m swooning.
  6. Tigers plus lions equals… ligers!  Liger cubs adopted by a dog equals more cuteness than you can shake a stick at.  (Where did that expression come from?  Who is going around shaking sticks at everything? I had to find out.)

Never fear, I saved the most ferocious for last…

Hmmm… I guess I let the roar fool me.  Or perhaps the fact that the kitten decided to hang out in a boot just wiped out my ability to think logically.  Either way, I can’t fight the cute.  Besides, I bet most house cats think they’re king or queen of their “jungle” anyway.  (Seriously though, if you want to learn more about big cat conservation, go here.)

I’ve got a busy weekend ahead, but I do plan to catch the Tony Awards on Sunday.  Anyone else?  Whatever your plans for the weekend, I hope you’re more successful than this guy.

  1. Great, now I have another song stuck in my head. 😛

    Once again, you have outdone yourself with cuteness. I want to especially thank you for the great wine article. Too funny. 🙂

  2. Just settled into a cute kitty video and then the big roar…yep, I jumped out of my skin – ha:D Wine article was great too!

  3. Loved seeing the pictures of the cub and dog at Busch Gardens. Just this morning I was wondering if Honey would like to have a kitten for company. It wasn't quite what I had in mind, but…

  4. Ah, a fellow Tony award lover. I never watch any of the other award shows, but the Tonys are so well done that I never miss one. I've finally convinced a few people to join me and they have become fans.

  5. That sure was a cute video. That little kitty is too cute on that boot. He just fits. The roar was a surprise. Hope you had a good week end.

  6. Kristine – Glad you liked the wine article. It cracked me up… and actually seemed pretty accurate!

    Pamela – I can just picture Honey with a cheetah cub!

    Jan – Hope you enjoyed the Tonys… I thought it was well done. I love Neil Patrick Harris!
