Slow Loris Update

Remember this ridiculously cute video of a Slow Loris being tickled?

She’s back! Here’s some more info about her from her owners:

1. First of all, we are located in St.Petersburg, RUSSIA.
2. It is NOT ILLEGAL in Russia to own this animals.
3. Our Sonya was born in a loris nursery and we have legally bought her in a local pet-shop. Thats why she is so tame and friendly!

Can’t see the video? Watch it here.

Rolcats

My comrades and partners, I present to you a fine offering of English translations of Eastern Bloc Lolcats, i.e. Rolcats. [The organization that I am is not sure if I/we are about to publish characters that represent curse words and/or derogatory statements, or if the act of publishing such operatic "comedy" will bring down a reign of iron darkness, the likes of which no Snuzzman has ever seen.]

It should also be noted that these translations are certainly not intended to be accurate. Far from it, I believe. But in the interest of cute pictureness, here we go:

Lie back and think of summers in Kiev, o cloudless sky.
Our edifices are firm but gentle lovers!
You shall not want for steel…

Your inactivity is criminal, porcine gastropod…
Go back to Oklahoma!

Alarm!!
Don your masks or you will dance the sarin jig this night!!!

Have strength, my little cabbage.
By the mercy of NKVD Order No. 00447, we have been chosen for Resettlement.
We will show the tin mines of Kolyma the true power of the proletariat.

You’re light on your payments again Andrei.
If we discover you’ve been holding out, you’ll be treated
to a reunion with your cousins at the bottom of the Moskva.

Cease your protests, the deal is done!
You are to make a fine wife for uncouth American businessman!

What beauty, not since during Glasnost has my heart soared so!
I intend you to bear my children, this request you will not deny!

Please to go here for more Rolcats, comrade.

Cat Gone Fishing

This, my furriends, is a Fishing Cat:

What’s a Fishing Cat, you ask? Well, it’s actually a web-pawed feline that swims around in Southeast Asia and eats fish, along with other small creatures that get in the way. Like chickens, apparently. (That last link will take you to a few NOT SO SNUZZY images of a Fishing Cat getting his feed on, FYI. Be aware.)

Turns out that they’ve got their snuzzy sides, too, something evidenced by these pix. That said, I don’t think I’ll be getting one as a pet any time soon.

The cat being licked in these photos has probably witnessed the Fishing Cat’s eating habits and therefore does NOT look so excited about being cleaned. Can’t say I blame her.
