Gratuitous cat photos of the day: I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Far, far be it from me to fat-shame cats.

To do that would require (a) that fatness was shameful and (b) that cats were capable of shame.

But given that we are given neither of those givens, I present you with a wish come true.

Yes, you can have a hippopotamus for Christmas.

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas... Only a hippopotamus will do...
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas… Only a hippopotamus will do…
 No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses...
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses…
 I only like hippopotamuses...
I only like hippopotamuses…
 And hippopotamuses like me too!
And hippopotamuses like me too!
Actually, you can't have this particular hippopotamus, because he has been adopted by two of the most marvelous humans in all humanity. Merry Christmas, Orion.

  1. That is truly the worst song ever written – and now its stuck in my head for the duration of the day. Our orange striped hippopotamus is currently sunning himself while watching the birds at the feeder. xoxox

  2. Oh wow – what sweetness! Thank you Nell Nolan for adopting wonderful Orion. Long life and happiness to you. Bud, Divya, Jackie, Wolfie, Zencada – just more furry wonderfulness to love.

  3. I hope Santa brings the best present of all to more of our Tabby’s Place cats. Their forever home and their forever humans. That would be my Christmas wish.
