Awesome Hoax of Cute

I sincerely wish this wasn’t a hoax. A Japanese site sold 20 “Real Pikachus” for over $900 million dollars. How f-ing cute are these little photoshopped brats!

Baboon Teaching Kitty to Sit

Neatorama posted this first, but it’s so cute I can’t pass it up. National Geographics archieve has this photo and story and it’s so cute and silly.

Photography by Kurt Severin, National Geographic Image Collection

SITTING KITTY
A patient little cat endures lessons in baboonery. According to notes accompanying the photograph—which arrived at the Geographic in 1956 but was never published by the magazine—”Baboon mother tries to make Fluffy sit up like a good monkey baby. But the kitten always falls back on her four legs. It seems like such a hopeless case.” The baboon, named Helen, was an attraction at Ross Allen’s Reptile Institute, a roadside zoo funded in 1929 in Silver Springs, Florida. She may have been a holdover from the days when Tarzan movies were filmed in the region and Allen provided animal actors for visiting Hollywood productions. —Margaret G. Zackowitz

Awesomest Dork Wedding Ever

Mon Calamari wanna Leia sounds like a bad Hawaiian fish joke, but it’s actually a bad Star Wars wedding joke in this case. Man, I wish I was invited to go.  I wonder if he took of the mask for the wedding night fun time.
Thanks Neatorama.

Another Adorable Animal Pairing

A rejected new-born red panda was adopted by a mommy cat. It happened in the Australian Zoo. Why do these animals continue to taunt me with their love and adorableness?

Red pandas as adults are the cutest things ever too. I wanna seem him growned up and playing with his mommy kitty.

Thanks Rueters.
