1. Happy Sunday SCE!

Thanks for all you do !



(We need an LOL Cats smilie)

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Thanks. Perfect date: YYYY-MM-DD/hh:mm:ss.ttt

It is unambiguous.
It sorts.
It flows from large units to small.

American exceptionalism: The only country that uses MM-DD-YY.

American exceptionalism: Only the USA, Liberia, and Burma are non-metric.

3. Nice pictures!!!!

I love all your kitty's pictures, and the other ones are great too. Really great stuff!!!!

[A HERETIC I AM]

4. YAY!

[Scarsdale]

5. Thank you

once again. GREAT photos.

[shenmue]

6. Thx

[LSFL]

7. thanks for the smiles

Of course my four kitties are infinitely superior. But it is good to see they haven't broken the competing cats so badly that the dear little things still try to compare to my gold standard Uber cats. We find it adorable and amusing and you have our permission to continue as we limit our photo ops to paying gigs .

(BTW, as much as I love squid, I stopped eating it when I discovered how intelligent squid and octopus are.)

And I love this one:



And the term "derp wolf."

[tblue37]

18. The platypus looks like a tiny hippo! nt

"The smallest things take up the most room in your heart" true for me.

21. There's a story behind the photo of the wolf and the dog...

... and best of all it's a sweet one.

How a Wolf Named Romeo Won Hearts in an Alaska Suburb
------------------------------------------------------------------

By Simon Worrall, National Geographic

...

"The amazing thing about this animal was how relatively relaxed and tolerant he was. That’s not out of the question for wolves. Certain wolves are like dogs, and they all have different personalities. Some are more cautious or fearful than others. But this wolf was downright relaxed and tolerant from the start, as if he had dropped out of the sky like a unicorn."

[Bayard]

32. Thanks so much for this link

What a wonderful animal. I've loved wolves since I was a kid, and this one was delightfully special. You don't appreciate how big they are until you see them with a large dog.

[red dog 1]

42. Thanks for that link

and the story about that gentle wolf

[rwsanders]

49. Hey its a whole book...

But the end is sad. Even though he lived longer than a wolf usually does in the wild, he was killed by a couple of nutjobs. One of them was fleeing child molestation charges.
But over all the book was amazing.
Also if you look at wolf picture books and calendars, you'll see his face pop up many times.

[hunter]

50. Yep.

I'd like to see an open season on all human trophy hunters.

I once knew a bear.

[rwsanders]

51. Agreed. I still need to see "In the Heart of the Sea"

It was impossible when reading the book not to cheer for the whale!
That same type of cowardice is why there are republicans.

[ailsagirl]

22. All fabulous, in particular...

The toilet paper
Great Expectations
White baby fox curled up sleeping
Mid-argument
Shopping bunnies (how was this done?)
"Good night, Tigger..."
Dog wedged in cat tree with annoyed cat beneath him

[red dog 1]

43. I was thinking the same thing about that cat

He/she does look annoyed because the dog is up there, doesn't he/she?

[ailsagirl]

48. Sure does!

[lark]

23. Thanks SCE!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

24. My favorite.

I used to have a cat that was the sweetest cat out there, but every so often she'd look at me in a certain way, and I'd know she was thinking, "Oh, if only you were smaller. Then I could hunt you and kill you." Deep inside her hunter soul still lived.

[davsand]

25. A delightful collection!

WELL done!!


Laura

[Lifelong Protester]

26. You had me saying WOW!!

[KT2000]

27. Hard work pays off in the future

Laziness pays off now - Great philosophy.

Thanks SCE !

[mdbl]

[question everything]

34. Oh, thank you.

Always smiling when I see your cats on their backs, stretching. Normally we think of cats as curling on their stomachs.

Loved the last one.

What is this bird?



Thanks you, and good night. What a nice way to end the day

[montana_hazeleyes]

35. Hi question everything.

I googled long tailed birds and it is a Spatuletail Hummingbird, found in a remote area of Peru. I really love birds and enjoy finding out what the unusual ones could possibly be.

[Rhiannon12866]

36. Thank you! I wondered, too...

And that is one spectacular little bird! I love hummingbirds, find them fascinating...

[montana_hazeleyes]

37. They really are amazing little beings.

Glad I found what it was. I'm going to read more about them.

[Rhiannon12866]

38. My mother was a bird lover, always had feeders - and books - so I did learn from her

And I also love fuschias - and when I've had one hanging outside, they especially attract hummingbirds! I love watching them, they are the most fascinating and amazing little things!

[question everything]

39. Thank you. We love hummingbirds but in the Midwest

all we see is the ruby one, chasing a Monarch butterfly off a desired flower..

[red dog 1]

45. Thanks for that info

What an amazing bird!
"Spatuletail Hummingbird".
I've never seen such a long "spatula-like" tail on any bird before.
Hummingbirds are amazing birds.
I've read that some species flap their wings at hundreds of times per second, while most flap their wings at a mere 80 times per second (Incredible!)
Also, hummingbirds have a long tongue which they use to lick their food at up to
13 licks per second.
Also, being very territorial, they often chase away much larger birds such as hawks from their territory.
They live about 4 years.
(I've got to get a hummingbird feeder)

[montana_hazeleyes]

46. Thanks red dog 1.

That's amazing information about the hummingbirds. And you reminded me I have hummingbird feeder on my to-do list.

[niyad]

40. good morning, sce. as usual, you have completely outdone yourself. there is no possible

way to pick a favourite in this much-needed, much-appreciated collection of awwwww and squeeeee. please give crystal a big hug from me, and I wish you both a wonderful and peaceful week.

now, off to share with your ever-growing legion of off-site (not to mention, demanding and impatient!!!) fans.

[alp227]

41. "Republicans hammer nominee Hagel"

Politics sneaking in the lounge? What...?

[Angry Dragon]

44. Really, really liked them this week

[red dog 1]

47. Thanks SCE for the smiles & laughs

You've outdone yourself this week.

I especially loved:
- dog nuzzling tiger
- Totally cute brown kitten
- Lizard climbing up plant

And the last 8 photos...all of them
especially the black wolf & dog, baby koala, & baby platypus drinking milk


Your Sunday LOLCats are a weekly antidote to what's going on in Washington, D.C.

Thanks again & have a wonderful week!
