On a visit to the warehouse: Aww, Munchkin edition

Okay, so I want you to know that even during my unintentional and oh-so-brief blogging hiatus, I was still thinking of y'all every day. I have all these links that I've filed away as something that I need to blog about, and now I have… a whole bunch of outdated links. (Wah-waaah.)

But they're still awesome! So here's your first link dump, featuring every cute thing that's happened in forever.

Gawker: Black Bear Feasts Inside Home, Rescues Stuffed Bear On Way Out

A black bear on Tuesday walked into a New Hampshire home, ate two pears, some grapes, took a sip from a fishbowl and grabbed a stuffed bear on the way out of the house. The stuffed bear was later recovered.

Jezebel: Adorable Marines Rescue Adorable Kittens In Afghanistan; Cuddling Ensues

Brian Chambers, Chris Berry and Aaron Shaw have adopted kittens they found while on duty - and sent them back to the States to wait for them with the marines' families (with the aid of these groups.) Says Chambers, "At only 3 weeks old, their mother had disappeared and they were left alone to live rough and fend for themselves like the other cats in this area. We looked after them both and they lived in a box in the office, after a week they were allowed to roam around during the day and sleep with us in the hooch at night."

BBC News: Bionic feet for amputee cat

A cat that had its back feet severed by a combine harvester has been given two prosthetic limbs in a pioneering operation by a UK vet.

Okay, yes, there's something not-terribly-cuddly about "severed by a combine harvester," but watch the video and shed a little tear as Oscar trots around on his brand-new feet. And enjoy a cute moment with Oscar's surgeon.

"Of course, the key to all great technology is tape. Because Oscar is black, and I'm not going to put brown feet on a black cat."

This is a classic, of course, since the Obamas have already selected a fluffy little fluffypants, But it remains adorable, and it's proof that it really is possible for Anderson Cooper to not be the cutest thing on screen.
