You’re getting 2 Friday Funs today, because if there’s something I can’t resist, it’s a video of Maru the cat & a video of a dancing baby goat. Â Something to remember if you ever need to bribe me.
First, we have Maru and a very crafty box.
Friday Fun: Hungry Fat Cat
Rattle, rattle. Â Hey, this food machine isn’t working. Â Rattle, rattle. Â No really, it’s broken. Â Rattle, rattle. Â Empty. Â Rattle, rattle. Â See?! Â Rattle, rattle.
Friday Fun: Hyper Kitty
I love this little nutter! Â Scritcha, scritcha, scritcha! Â Her name is Choco Ball and you can see more of her and her friends at SweetFurr.
Friday Fun: International Rules Football + Jack Russell Terrier
I used to love watching Australian Rules Football (now International Rules Football). Â It’s a fast, fierce game and they used to have these surreal umpires in white coats with white hats who looked like wacky butchers making very dramatic hand gestures and waving flags. Â Here’s footage of a Jack Russel Terrier who just can’t sit still while there’s a ball to be chased. Â He’s pretty fast & fierce himself and apparently stayed in the game about 8 minutes.
Update: Baltic The Dog
Do you remember Baltic the dog? He was the poor pup rescued off an ice floe 15 miles out to sea about a year ago by the crew of the Polish research ship The Baltica. Â He’d been spotted 2 days earlier floating down the Vistula River, but firemen weren’t able to rescue him at the time.
Baltic has since been adopted by a member of the crew and he accompanies them on some of their trips to sea.  Storms still make him nervous, but otherwise he spends his time supervising the ship.
