Cmdr. Samuel Vimes attempts to send back his new brother, Hobbes.
Good thing Zappos returns are free.
Just kidding – they get along great. It is just that boxes are irresistible.

Sam’s new brother, Hobbes, also in mid-leap
Both kitties in a quieter moment. Hobbes arrived on Tuesday evening. Both are Maine Coon Cats. We are happy for the addition to our family and thank Cousin Linda for these furry blessings.

“If you’re an adult, especially a cat-loving adult, a more sophisticated hotcake might be in order. It doesn’t get any classier than these Japanese pancakes, which serve as a playground for sweet frolicking kitties. And if pancakes aren’t your breakfast style, check out the donuts!
The cats are so cute you just want to eat them up. And you can, because they are completely edible! Actually, sadly, you can’t eat them because these adorable confections are not for sale. They are made by a Japanese housewife named Caroline, who bakes them up every February 22 (Cat’s Day in Japan) for her family to enjoy.
So, unless you marry into Caroline’s family, you’ll just have to ooh and ah over these awe-inspiring photos. And could you really stomach eating such pure cuteness in the first place? It would be like lighting up your kitty swatting a ball of yarn candle.”
Thanks, Katie, for this reference reblogged from The Cat Channel

A walk on the wild side with a post about lynx – large, secretive, ear-tufted members of the cat family.
“The lynx is a solitary cat that haunts the remote northern forests of North America, Europe, and Asia. Lynx are covered with beautiful thick fur that keeps them warm during frigid winters. Their large paws are also furry and hit the ground with a spreading toe motion that makes them function as natural snowshoes.
These stealthy cats avoid humans and hunt at night, so they are rarely seen.
There are several species of lynx. Few survive in Europe but those that do, like their Asian relatives, are typically larger than their North American counterpart, the Canada lynx.”

All of the cats in the video look pretty blissed out. I am sure Cmdr. Vimes would love it.
