Need a shot in the arm of cuteness? Look no further than these photos of the matronly five-year-old chimpanzee Anjana and her adopted kitty Sierra, a nine-week-old puma cub. The odd couple are residents of The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species (T.I.G.E.R.S) Preserve in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Orphaned chimp Anjana lives with the resident feline curator at T.I.G.E.R.S, who taught the monkey how to care for all sorts of ferocious furry foster felines, including the Institute’s latest arrival Sierra.

VIDEO Napping 7-day-old hedgehog makes world a better place

ByDarren O

Sometimes we all need reminders of what a sweet old big beautiful world this can be. Today’s memorandum comes in the form of one precious little week-old hedgehog taking a nap. Take a deep breath, relax and enjoy the peacful glee that is the following 42 seconds. As a bonus I added an older clip from the same YouTube user of another little guy getting a belly rub and yawning. You’re welcome.

This story is your trifecta of “woman driver” (sorry ladies) “senior citizen driver” and “funny mugshot plus video”. It’s what I like to call a blogger softball! See the video and read about Miss Sandra and the fortunate happy ending.

VIDEO: World’s smallest horse Einstein quite possibly impossibly cute

ByDarren O

I decided to ramp up the cute factor here at starcasm.net with a little profile on a really little horse. Einstein is a pinto stallion that weighed just 6 lbs when he was born on Friday. On top of being so diminutive what makes little E extra-extra special is that he does not show signs of dwarfism. Get your cute on!
