Dachshund Road Rage!

Let's pretend this is a regular-sized F-150... and let's pretend these are GIANT dachshunds...

If that's the case, I don't know what the person in the truck did, but he's really in for it with this herd of giant dachshunds after him like that! Woof!

More cute dachshunds please!

Drummer Cat is Drumming

As perhaps the most purrfect followup to yesterday's singing cats (if you missed them, GO!), here's a drummer cat ready to join their band!

Nothing like a little toilet tapping to brighten your day!


Note from Cute: I'm moving all day today so wish me luck. Oh, and the cable guy is supposed to come and set up the Interwebs for me, so paws crossed that it all goes well so I can be online again tomorrow and visit all the bloggy buddies I've missed these past few days!

Sensational Singing Kitties!

Lots of your favorite Youtube kitties collaborated to come up with this instant, catchy hit song!

You'll notice some superstars like Burnsey and Maru... and a couple newcomers who are sure to be famous soon. This little video was so much fun to watch -- they really put a lot of work into it!

Birdie Serenades his Plushie Friend

What a sweet little cockatiel... I wonder if he thinks his stuffed friend is a real friend. They do look so much alike. Maybe his buddy has just overindulged a little on the bird seed and that's why he's so, well, fluffy?

The cutest part is that I really think he loves his plushie pal!

Mini Maru? Kitten Box Attack!

Could this little kitty be Maru's protege?

I mean, no cat has the box-diving skills that the famous Maru does, but I bet as this little girl grows up and perfects her skills, she might give Maru a run for his catnip!

Two Cats Tuesday: We're Packing!

Happy Two Cats Tuesday, Cuteheads! Whew... it's been a busy couple weeks. We're moving (not too far, just a few miles away), so you know that can get crazy.

I'm pretty sure the only one who actually likes packing is Moo...

Moo, who as you know as an obsession with boxes, must check out every single one.

Then he has to get ON each one, just to check for sturdiness. I guess.

And did you know that boxes make pawsome places to take a nap?

Pimp, however, is not amused. He's moved 5 times with me before so this is old news. What's with that crazy new guy Moo anyway? :)

Just want to take a minute to apologize for not making all my regular rounds at my favorite blogs -- I promise to catch up as soon as I finished moving! And, believe me, I can't wait to finish...

Have a great Tuesday everyone!

Guitar Cat Sneaks Some Scratchin'

This smart kitty takes full advantage of his human's hobby... because, clearly, the only reason this guy is playing that guitar is to strum up some scratches for his furry friend. Right?

I wonder if different chords make for different scritches...

Crazy Contortionist Cat

At first glance, you may thing Gizmo is a pretzel. But you'd be wrong -- Gizmo is just a very flexible contortionist cat.

A crazy one, too... Just look at how he's balanced on top of that door trying to catch his tail!

Kitty Cat on the Prowl...

Whoever took this video was very, very brave. Because normally, when you see a cat look like this one does at the beginning of the video, it's probably a good idea to run for your life! Or at least put on your full kitty-attack armor and hope for the best.

Make sure you stay to the end of this one -- it's the best part!

Cow Cat Scratching Frenzy!

As far as I'm concerned, the only thing better than a cow cat is a whole herd of cow cats! And if this herd was doing something particular cute, like, say... frantically practicing their synchronized scratching technique... Even cuter!

Bonus: This cow cat herd has been on the Cute before! See more of them here.

Conan the Kitty and his Twin

Conan the kitten has just met his twin -- he just hasn't figured out that it's really him in the mirror yet...

The first meeting is a little rocky, and they don't start off as the best of friends. But as the days go on, I think they really come to love each other!

Remember Conan from Kitten Makes a Dramatic Entrance?!

Guess What? The Live Shiba Inu Puppy Cam is Back!

Oh, Cuteheads... Do I have a treat for you today! Remember last year's live streaming Shiba Inu Puppy Cam that took the world by storm? (I posted about it here: The first Shiba Inu Puppy Cam.) Well, it's back!

The mommy, Kika, had another little of puppies -- and they're back on 24-hour streaming Shiba Inu Puppy Cam cuteness!

Kika's five puppies were born on January 16 (three boys and two girls), so they're just babies right now! Be sure to come back to the Shiba Inu Puppy Cam often to watch them play, eat, be cute and grow up!

Live Video streaming by Ustream

P.S. Don't tell work, but the Shiba Inu Puppy Cam is going to be playing in the background of what I'm doing all day! I love it. Enjoy!

Two Cats Tuesday: This is MY Spot!

Happy Two Cats Tuesday, Cuteheads! I'm sure you missed Pimp and Moo -- since Lenox and Diamond were featured for Two Cats last week (they still need a forever home!) -- and they missed you, too!

This week, Moo is going to demonstrate how we get ready for bed, a.k.a. how Moo beats me to the best spot.

Thanks for pulling the comforter down, Mom... I was having a hard time getting to the pillow. This is much more comfortable.

I mean, you did pull it down so that I could get in this awesome spot on your side of the bed, right? *high paw*

This spot is so pawsome! Just look at how I can hug the pillow and streeeeetch out and all.

You weren't planning on sleeping here, were you?

Oh, and don't think Pimp was letting me sit on my chair earlier either...

...or on the couch.

Who's house is this anyway?! Clearly, it's the cats'.

Playing "I Spy" With the Cat

Remember the game "I Spy" -- where you say I spy with my own two eyes... something _____, and you fill in the blank? Well, this cat is looking for something blue.

And he's very, very clever. And stubborn. And cute. Enjoy!



Big thanks to Lin and Duck and Wheel with String for sharing this cute cat video!

Put Down the Phone and Pay Attention to Me!

Surely the conversation can wait... I mean, really. What could be more important that petting, scratching, scritching, giving treats to or snuggling with your cat?

Don't talk and pet. Just pet. :)

Lazy Caturday Stretch...

Happy Caturday, Cuteheads!

And what better to do on a lazy Caturday than lie back, relax and just enjoy the day? You all have Cute's permission to take the day off and do absolutely nothing!

Kitten Meow Fail

This cute cat has a fabulous meow (or lack thereof)! I don't know if his meower is broken or if this is just how he does it, but it really adds to his cuteness. About halfway through he gets in a pretty good one, and at the end it's like the grande finale meow!

Don't you just want to give him a big kitty hug?

Husky Gives his Deaf Kitty Friend the Sweetest Bath

I struggled with what to title this one because the video is just so sweet, and I couldn't come up with the right words to say just how sweet it is. I smiled the whole time I watched it, all the way to the end.

This is one-year-old Quinn the Siberian Husky and deaf kitten friend, Ollie. The two are great friends and Quinn bathes him every day. Ollie is never hurt... in fact he goes looking for Quinn all the time!


Note from Cute: Don't forget Lenox and Diamond (Lenox is blind and Diamond has one eye) are still looking for a forever home! Please read and pass on their story here!

Kitten Makes a Dramatic Entrance

Conan the kitten knows how to make a grand entrance. You must have drama and a little flair. And you must be cute, of course.

I think maybe I'll practice Conan's technique for walking down the aisle at my wedding someday... Can you imagine?!

Two Cats Tuesday: The Sweetest Faces You Ever Did See

Happy Two Cats Tuesday, Cuteheads! Today's is a very special post. I hope someone out there in Cuteland can help!

Today I'd like you to meet Lenox and Diamond. Lenox is blind and Diamond only has one good eye. They are brothers and the bestest friends in the world, and Diamond is basically Lenox's seeing-eye cat.

Both of these sweet babies were adopted as kittens and had the best daddy in the world. He loved them dearly and they adjusted better than anyone could have hoped. But then their daddy lost his job and as a last resort had to move back in with his parents in New York. His mom absolutely refused to take the cats in. He was crushed!!

Luckily, though, the shelter they were adopted from (Animal Aid -- one of Cute's favorites!) offered to take them back in and care for them. He reluctantly took them back and they are in a foster home now -- and have once again adjusted amazingly! They really are quite a pair.

Lenox says hello! Just look how happy he is in his condo. And what a sweet face!

Diamond says hello, too! It's like he's winking at us! He doesn't even know he's missing an eye.

So now Lenox and Diamond are in search of a forever home again. A real forever home. They must go together as they are used to having each other to depend on. Neither one knows they are missing anything, and together they are the dynamic duo!

These babies are too special to not have a mommy and daddy to shower them with love and attention. They need a real home, where they can live the life they deserve. Let's get together and find them one!

Here's some more pictures and a little more about them. If you or anyone you know might be able to give them a loving home, please email me, tweet me, Facebook me or contact their friend at Animal Aid at LeeSparkman (at) aol (dot) com. Animal Aid (and Lenox and Diamond!) is located in South Florida.

Lenox is a little over a year old and blind. He is a beautiful white cat -- absolutely scrumptious, little guy, plays, uses the litter box and comes when called. He chases balls, eats up a storm, climbs, tumbles with other cats and you would never ever suspect he could not see. He goes non-stop -- he has so much energy. It is hard to believe he is blind and how his senses compensate for his loss of sight. Lenox has had surgery to remove his eyes, so there will be no need to worry about infections. Lenox also has a brother, Diamond, who also needed one eye removed. Lenox and Diamond were adopted together and dearly loved by a very nice young man. Unfortunately he lost his job and had to move back with his family up north and so these darling boys are available for adoption again. Lenox and Diamond must be adopted together. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THEM, PLEASE CONTACT THEIR FRIEND, LEE, AT 754-366 8072 or LeeSparkman (at) aol (dot) com.

Diamond is a darling grey tabby male cat. Diamond needed to have one eye removed for avoid future infections. You might think he is suffering, but he is a perfectly rambunctious, happy fellow. He runs, jumps, plays with toys and other cats and dogs. Dogs and cats are no problem to Diamond, he can handle his own. Diamond has a brother, Lenox, who is blind because he needed surgery to remove both his eyes. Lenox and Diamond were adopted together and dearly loved by a very nice young man. Unfortunately he lost his job and had to move back with his family up north and so these darling boys are available for adoption again. Lenox and Diamond must be adopted together. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THEM, PLEASE CONTACT THEIR FRIEND, LEE, AT 754-366 8072 or LeeSparkman (at) aol (dot) com.

Please pass this on to anyone you think might be able to give them a home, or who might know someone who could. They are at Animal Aid in South Florida and you can call Lee at the number or email above to meet them or get more info.

Let's make Lenox and Diamond's day!!

(Oh, and Pimp and Moo will be back next Tuesday for Two Cats Tuesday. They totally understood and were more than happy to let Lenox and Diamond borrow their day today!)

The Battle of the Cucumber

Since it's the New Year, Cute knows that many of you have resolutions to eat healthier -- and we're here to say that even eating healthy can be cute!

Allow these three fuzzy guinea pigs to demonstrate. They have a cucumber... and you've never seen anyone so happy to eat a fruit! (And yes, cucumbers are fruits. I looked it up!)

Get That Pesky Tail!

Kitties, you know that thing that's attached to your butt? Doesn't it just drive you crazy sometimes? I mean, it flops, it twitches, it swats...

It must be stopped!

Gymnastics Kitteh

Rocky the gymnast cat is a pro at the "single arm bar" gymnastic event. Just look at his amazing skills, his balance, his dexterity, his floof factor...

Cute gives Rocky a perfect 10! What do you score him?

The Cat in the Mirror

Hey you... You there, the cat in the mirror... Whatcha doin' in there? Wanna come out and play? You look just like me! We could be best buds!

Hey, wait a minute. Stop that! Quit copying everything I do... OK, you can stop now. OK, for real. That's enough. Purrrrrrrrs.

A puppy in the mirror next, please.

Polar Bear Attack!

A friend of mine sent me this and it was instantly one of those "too cute not to share" things. It's a set of four polar bear attack photos. This is what it said:

This took place in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. These are pictures of an actual polar bear attack in Churchill.

These pictures were taken while people were watching and did nothing to stop the attack!

Reports from the local paper say that the victim made a full recovery.


Thanks to Cute's friends at The Kitten Crew for passing this cute polar bear attack on!

2 Kittens, 1 Cat Bed... Too Much Cute!

Everyone meet Keebler and Hydrox. They're two little foster kitties from the Love and Kisses blog (have I mentioned how much I love that blog?), and they are doing some serious kneading and slurping on their cat bed.

I mean, look at their little paws -- they're going crazy!

Two Cats Tuesday: But Mom... We Already Have FUR Coats!

Baby, it's cold outside, and this is something we're just not used to in Florida. I personally only own a few sweaters (and zero coats), so when it gets chilly for more than a few days in a row, I'm definitely less than prepared.

Pimp and Moo, though, are all set. And not just because they have fur coats... because they have sweaters and leather jackets, too!

So, in honor of the fact that it's going to be in the 30's for the next few nights (yes, this is freezing to us Florida folk), I decided get them in their cold weather gear.

Pimp in his turtleneck sweater. You can see how happy he is that I decided to dig it out of his wardrobe.

A little bit of a side view. Look at that stylish plaid! Pimp is so GQ.

Moo, on the other hand, is more rough and edgy. Check out his leather jacket!

Here he shows off all his zippers, snaps and buckles (and velcro, shhhh...). He's one cool dude!

Jackets and sweaters are cute on kitties, but me, Pimp and Moo think the 30's is just a little too cold for our Florida blood. Can someone send us a couple degrees to warm us up? Thanks!

Helicopter Cat Thwap Attack

It's a bird... it's a plane... it's a cat toy? Sure. Why not?!

All of my cats' toys are officially obscolete -- they need a helicopter to play with! It's like a bug or a bird that you can thwap, but the human controls it. Fun for everyone!

Snow White loves hers so much that she sits and meows at it when it's not moving. Too cute!

Kitten Headlock

These two wriggling and squiggling bundles of fur make wrestling cute! Much cuter than when humans do it... Watch as they masterfully show their headlock techniques!

Next, see how to break up a cat fight.

Parrot Cries Like a Baby

I've heard of plenty of singing parrots and birds that dance, but a parrot who cries -- not until now! This silly birdie has the baby's crying down perfectly!

Dreaming Kitten

Happy New Year, Cuteheads!

Isn't it cute how sleepy kittens can fall take a catnap anywhere? Like right in the palm of your hand?

This sweet, teeny baby is in such a deep snooze that he's even dreaming! Wonder what he's dreaming about... I hope it's not a little nightmare.
