I'm thinking that on account of my reaction to said thread, and as security against other such threads in the future, a cute animal video thread would a good idea. So here's some of my favorites that I found:
A British guy meeting some baby meerkats:
Some otters destroying a house:
A hyrax riding a turtle:
A conure preening some parrotlets:
I'm now going to watch some more cute animal videos, take a walk, and hope that I can come back to the trigger-thread in a few hours with a more level head.
There was a video of a vervet monkey cuddling a kitten that I saw previously, but now can't seem to find. If anybody can find that one, I'd be thrilled.
Otherwise... cute animal videos: post them here please, anything you've got.
