How do you titillate an ocelot?

You oscillate its tit a lot.

Dear Lindy West,

The Zoo Borns website makes me talk in a ridiculous voice. My real life pets resent being ignored while I coo over baby hippos. Baby fucking hippos!

It is all your fault.

Thank you.

Today a co-worker is puppysitting a friend's new cocker spaniel puppy, and between PUPPY IN THE OFFICE! and OCELOT BABIES ON MY SCREEN! I'm pretty much in SQUEEEE HEAVEN.

more zoo cats:

"In St. Petersburg zoo the regular Russian cat has become friends with a big European lynx. People say that they live together in one big cage and the cat considers the lynx to be her mother."

Satan oscillate my metallic sonatas!

Also, theaters are zoos of torture.

awwwww.

Well, if it was me, I would be seriously kissing their little faces, and calling them baby kittens is redundant, but that's ok.

Posted by crazycatguy on November 14, 2008 at 11:03 AM

Did that kitty just wink at me?!?!

Posted by Original Monique on November 14, 2008 at 11:11 AM

Goddammit Lindy. That's adorable.

Posted by snakes on November 14, 2008 at 11:54 AM

full of awesome!
Also, to protest the miniaturization of or vocabularies:
Those neonate felines are perfect exemplars of velutinous beauty.
Their oversized ocular orbs, their charming awkwardness, their disarming little mews, all combine to create quite a feeling of affection.

DON'T ZOOM IN ON THEIR FACES DON'T ZOOM IN ON THEIR FACES

Adorable. And educational: I learned that I hate zoo music.

Lindy, that's not their debut, it's the sequel: "Baby Ocelots 2: Electric Boogaloo."

The debut is here

I call it "Baby Ocelots: Meowing Eleven-day-old Ocelots look exactly like Brak from Space Ghost Coast to Coast."
