Trampled by Kittens

This is a bug’s-eye view of a whole bunch of kittens charging out of the sun room. If it were a human’s-eye view it wouldn’t be so scary.

These are rescue kittens, kept in the sun room for the night and let out again when the humans get up in the morning.

Please note: If you can accurately give the exact number of the kittens, you will be appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

 

Here, Fishy-Fishy!

I used to feed my goldfish by hand. They’d let me pick them up, too, when it was time to clean their fish tank.

Here’s a man going out to his pond to feed and pet his catfish. I don’t hold with ignoring hungry turtles: he should’ve brought enough for everybody.

Count the Kittens?

You have 30 seconds in which to count, accurately, the number of kittens appearing in this video. If you’re able to do it–well, then, you’re the one we’re looking for to count the guppies in our fish tank!

Ducklings Adopted (?) by Puppy

We’ve all seen a mother duck lead her ducklings to wherever she wants them to go. But here someone, somewhere, got their signals crossed and the ducklings have locked on to a puppy as their mother figure. Do they expect him to lead them to the water?

The pup exhibits some sheepdog-like herding moves. The ducklings follow him wherever he goes. He can’t get away from them.

Domestication is… weird.

Cats On Ice

I’m told, by persons who know, that it’s not so easy to keep your fish pond going through the winter. You have to prepare the fish with a special diet, because you won’t be able to feed them if the pond freezes over; and if it’s shallow enough to freeze solid, it’s adios muchachos.

But if you do succeed–look at all the fun you can have, watching your cat try to get at the fish.

Bunny Wants Cat to Wake Up

You’re a cat, you’re taking a nap in this nice, snug basket that’s just the right size and shape–and of course you won’t be allowed to enjoy it. This time it’s a bunny who does everything but grab a bugle and blow Reveille.

But they are obviously friends. Domestication does some funny things.

Dog & Rooster Tag

Well, now you know why people keep stacks of wooden pallets in their back yards: so their dogs and chickens can chase each other round and round the pallets.

I love watching chickens run. Especially when they’re chasing dogs or people.

Airborne Cat

Don’t you wish you could do this?

Our cat Buster used to jump as high as he could and kick himself off the wall–and didn’t need the encouragement of a ball, either. He just did it!

Gee, that looks like fun. I wonder what would happen if I tried it…

Norbert on the Rampage

It was escapades like this that got Norbert barred from Asia. Imagine if that wrapping paper were a herd of water buffalo. How many would escape uneaten? And there was that time the elephants refused to come out of their corral because Norbert was out there… waiting.

Pups Play Jai-Alai

Well, all right, it’s not exactly jai-alai; but you can certainly say it’s a sport played by dogs. The object of the game is to keep the balloon aloft for as long as possible by bumping it with your nose. Try it with a friend or colleague and see how you do!
