Zoe’s favorite place to nap. Pay no attention to all the crap lying around; I haven’t finished setting up this room yet.

Lucy wants to play Diablo, too.

It’s amazing how one little glass barrier keeps this hilariously adorable video from becoming tragic.
Poor lioness. She’s trying SO HARD to eat that baby’s head.

Lucy loves Chris’s new laptop. He kept trying to gently nudge her off, but she wasn’t having any of it. She stayed there for at least half an hour and somehow managed to disable the keyboard.
Sadly, you can’t see her very well because his phone camera is kinda messed up.

I closed my laptop and a kitten appeared on my ottoman. Like magic.

Chris tried to record Lucy rolling around on the carpet being cute, but of course she stopped doing it as soon as the camera came out. So instead, you get some meowing followed by her headbutting the camera and walking away. Brat.

Lion sitting in a tree in Uganda. Which is obvious of course if you look at the picture. Yet, the way he is looking at the camera makes you feel he might jump on you any minute.

A tiny, two-week-old kitten was brought back to life by fire crews after they rescued it from a house fire. Firefighters found the motionless kitten on a table of the house in Rusholme when they went inside to tackle the flames. They carried it outside and managed to resuscitate it with oxygen.

Lucy sleeps like this sometimes. You’d think she would suffocate, but no. Apparently not.

She’s killing me.
