Our cat Robbie, when she was a kitten, liked to carry slippers around the living room. Here’s a cat who takes that a giant step farther. Eighty shoes! What does anybody need with eighty shoes? I’d love to understand this cat’s thinking.

Baby Elephant’s Curiosity
Elephants don’t get many opportunities to enjoy a bus ride. Here’s a baby elephant trying to board a safari bus. The mother elephant gently prevents it. Who knows where the baby might wind up, once she’s on the bus?
Baby Elephant Cops an Attitude
We are told this baby elephant is having a tantrum–over what, who knows? I was afraid he might be sick; but when the adult elephants paid no attention to his demonstration, he seemed pretty quick to give it up. Lesson to humans here?
Chickens Rule!
How did “chicken” ever come to mean “chicken”? Man, these hens and roosters are kicking eagles down the stairs! Why do the eagles even bother? Maybe, as Ian Malcolm said in The Lost World, “They are misinformed.”
A Chicken’s Funny Babies
Bunch of eggs? Old hat! Here’s a chicken with a litter of kittens, instead. How she acquired them is not known to me. It has to be imagined. That could turn out to be a pretty good story.
Dig These Cats’ Ears!
Wow! Look at the tufts on these cats’ ears! Our cat Robbie has tufts, but not as big as these. Is there a lynx in the family tree? I don’t think I’ve ever seen cats like these.
Your Cuddly Baby… Rhinoceros?
“We don’t generally let the rhino sit on human laps, Ma’am…”
How cool is this? God’s Peaceable Kingdom comes to life! This is really something to look forward to, isn’t it? So much for “grumpy savage beasts.”
Feline Delinquents
I wonder about people who let their cats do all kinds of mischief just so they can catch it on video and put it on YouTube. You don’t really need to leave your freezer yawning open so the cat can mess around inside it. If we were their pets, they’d never allow it.
This Dog Has Kittens
Ah, the end of a hectic day! This dog has four kittens to cuddle. I wonder how long I could stay awake if I had them. Our cat Buster used to put me to sleep by sleeping on my lap. His sister, Missy, was even better at it.
Baby Otter… Oops!
Believe it or not, otters don’t instinctively know how to swim: they have to be taught. So if this baby otter falls overboard, it’s going to be scary…
How would you like having one of these curled up in your lap?
