This turtle apparently loves cats… at least this cat:



  1. Buddha says:

    Clearly a sign of reincarnation.

    The funny thing is, according to the laws of reincarnation, this means a turtle is a higher life-form than a cat. I’d tend to agree.

  2. Miguel says:

    There are no higher lifeforms than cats.

  3. hhopper says:

    What about cats with wings?

  4. Fred Flint says:

    There’s never a Holy Hand Grenade around when you need one.

  5. DavidtheDuke says:

    What I’m curious is what would the turtle do after a few seconds of contact to the cats. Wisely the cats didn’t allow this.

  6. OhForTheLoveOf says:

    I’m baffled by two things.

    1. Why is that turtle so interested in cats?

    2. Why is Hopper so interested in YouTube, much like a monkey is interested in fecal matter?

  7. John Paradox says:

    Friends, this an example of the unnatural and ungodly state of affairs in the world today with the removal of prayer….
    um, the acceptance of immoral acts between turtles and housecats…

    am I suddenly channeling Jerry F?

    J/P=?

    “Clearly a sign of reincarnation.”

    (You have to be of a certain age to catch this reference…)

    Carnation = The Milk From Contented Cows

    Reincarnation = The Milk From Dead Cows

    “There are no higher lifeforms than cats.”

    Well, yeah, I’ll grant you that – but every so often genetic serendipity works to produce an adequate human, e.g., Enya, Cate Blanchett… if only to demonstrate that humanity isn’t entirely hopeless. 🙂

    The cute little turtle in the second clip appears to be an Alligator Snapping Turtle. After it grows up to its adult weight and attitude, the cat will have real problems. So will the owner.

    Yeah, a large alligator snapping turtle can snap a broomstick in two with one bite. When I was MUCH younger, a friend of mine and I found a pretty large one in a local lake. He put it in his bike basket and the snapper snapped right through the basket wire like it was butter.

    And OFTLO… I’m still sifting through the feces to find the gems.

  11. Lauren the Ghoti says:

    BTW, cat lovers – you may, like myself, have been previously unaware of this thoroughly wonderful creature, the fishing cat. I want one!

  12. hhopper says:

    I love cats but boy are they stupid. Check this vid out.

  13. BubbaRay says:

    #12, Cheese, Hop, I’m so agoraphobic that was hard to watch. I’ve heard anecdotes of cats surviving a multi-story fall. Here’s a real one (with optional vid):

  14. hhopper says:

    That’s an example of why they say cats have nine lives.

  15. Lauren the Ghoti says:

    Now, you gents are scientific enough for me to not have to mention why cats survive multi-story falls far better than human adults – the same reason human infants have also done so; low mass.

  16. Lauren the Ghoti says:

    um, better to say: lower comparative mass…

  17. BubbaRay says:

    #16, Lauren, that’s right, plus the fact that infant’s bones are like rubber. And cats with their keen sense of balance and legs splayed are almost like a parachute.

  18. hhopper says:

    So Lauren, you’re saying if you’re from Southern Massachusetts, you could jump off a balcony without getting hurt?

  19. Lauren the Ghoti says:

    In the timeless words of John Cleese, “Inanutshell.”

    And it follows that, of course, if you happen to be a cat or an infant – or better still, an infant cat – you’ll fall upwards…
