He has a NAME (Sirrocco) as does his species (Kakapo)

Yeah sorry, the mere existence of Liligers is proof they're breeding irresponsibly.

The species are separated geographically usually on separate continents, and thus completely different. There is no niche in nature intended for these hybrids. Unless you have discovered a new continent which just happens to be an exact hybrid of the African Savannah and Asian Rainforest?

before I read the word "calendar" I thought it was some ridiculous chicken album on vinyl. Which would be weirder, so... better?

I didn't even click on them and I figured out the trend.

Correction - it WAS the best xmas song until they Beibered it up and apparently made it into a NDS commercial:

oi, check your March baby privilege, St. Patrick. :P

They segregated you in gym class? We were only segregated for team sports for like weekend sport which had a girls' team and a boys' team. Not during class.

Sorry, it's too late for my last piece of advice now I read it properly. You could try a product called Feliway which is a synthetic feline pheromone that helps prevent some cats from feeling the need to pee to mark territory. Also make sure there are enough litter trays in the house - rule of thumb is one per cat and…

All The Napping. It was glorious.

I am usually not a fan - but I particularly don't like it this year. I was prepared for our now annual Go See The Hobbit on Xmas Day tradition, and also having some friends over for a drink in the evening after they've seen their families. But now my kitty cat is sick at the vets, and we're not sure what the outcome…

The more I think about it, I'm not sure that makes it less weird or more weird? Certainly less gross.

I don't think he was eating off that plate himself. I actually think it was a plate just for the two of them and he was just tenderly cutting the meal up for the cats.

Holy shit, this video has everything: cats, xmas, Japanesey-ness. I love the little conversation he has with Theo while making dinner. KAWAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

I rescued a bunch while working at an animal related job and my boss wouldn't let me keep them in the breakroom so I could feed them on my break in the middle of a 6 hour shift. So I kept them at my brother in law's place cus he only lived down the road. I was quite outraged...

Oh good, squee - is it here I can hold a pity party for myself? Just found out my cat has bad kidney disease is probably not long for this world. So am watching cute videos and crying. I swear it helps.

You're confusing "natural selection" with hybrid vigor.

That would be nice.

yes exactly

This is going to be pretty hard to do. I remember learning in microbiology at uni that warm water and plain soap will do 99% of the job. All the antibacterial soaps and alco gels and stuff just top that up another .9%.
