"raise the threat level to adorable!"

I just came across a great article, detailing a Floria bomb squad's attempts to disarm a box full of kittens (which the social security office it had been placed in front of assumed could only be a meowing bomb). The comments on this story are also mostly hilarious. People are sometimes funny on the internet, instead of just vicious. A favorite comment: "Has anyone noticed that the cat on the right has crazy eyes?" I guess kittens could be a threat to world security if they had a reason to be. There's a lot of power hidden behind those cute faces.

the cutest video.

Aside from the obvious Aww-factor of cross species altruism and baby animals, this video also boasts a great narrator. A dog adopts a litter of kittens! A goat with her newfound baby horse! A cat and Bambie! A leopard accidentally eats the mother of a baby monkey, feels guilty, and decides to groom the monkey instead of sautee it! Actually, that last one is kind of sadistic sounding, but it's still pretty adorable to watch the mama leopard care for the monkey. Just try to forget why the monkey is an orphan in the first place.

PS. Oh em gee this is like bubblewrap but a thousand times better!
