Fawn and Cat Snuggle Post Fire

Maren — Thu, 28 May 2009 11:00:58 +0000

Animal Planet is reporting about these two cute animals that were saved from the Jesuta Fire near Santa Barbara, California. The bobcat kitten was saved a week before the fawn, near Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Ranch, where it was dehydrated and near death.

“They rescued the fawn during last week’s wildfire. Although wild animals, especially of separate species, are never placed together due to regulations, in this emergency situation, they had no choice. During the mayhem of the fire, they were forced to put animals anywhere they could, since they had run out of crates large enough for the fawn. The kitten ran to the fawn, and it was instant bonding.”

Koalas During the Heat Wave

Maren — Fri, 15 May 2009 16:55:36 +0000

Koalas if you don’t know are not social and don’t come out of trees or down to the suburbs very often. But the main thing is that they don’t actually drink water normally at any time. All their food and water source is provided from the eucalyptus leaves that they eat. That’s why they sleep about 22 hours of the day because the calories and liquid intake is not enough to keep them awake long enough, but they consume enormous amounts of leaves in that time. So.. the following photos are even more amazing once that fact is known.

SOOOO Happy to Be Saved

Gingerwolf Stumbled this one over to me, certainly one of the snuzziest cat pix I’ve seen in a very long time. Thanks, Gingerwolf!

Norwegian Badger Snatchers Save the Day!

anders — Mon, 19 May 2008 18:09:02 +0000

Let me just start by saying that a badger is not generally a very snuzzy creature. They are in fact, pesky little critters that can get pretty darn nasty and are very capable of holding their own, even against a much larger animal like, say, me. I have crossed paths with badgers out here in the sticks and generally just get the heck out of Dodge, in a very macho tail-between-legs kind of way.

You see, if they get their fangs into you, you’re in real trouble. Wikipedia says:

The lower jaw is articulated to the upper by means of a transverse condyle firmly locked into a long cavity of the cranium, so that dislocation of the jaw is all but impossible… This enables the badger to maintain its hold with the utmost tenacity.

Huh? Condyle? Wha…?

Anyhow, all of the nasty badger talk aside, the baby ones are pretty darn cute!! … Especially when they’re being saved: firefighters in Norway rescued three baby badgers from a burning building in Oslo on Sunday, which led to these really snuzzy photos:

Knocking It Up for Charity

After Mu Shue Pooh King Cat was injured as he heroically led his snuzzy little friends Lilly Lu and Iris to safety during a five alarm fire in his owner’s apartment building, Camie’s Kitties decided to organize a knock-knock joke fundraiser to help pay for vet bills.

Here’s one of my favorite entries, one heck of a truly snuzztastic knock-knock joke:
