A graceful stalk. But it looks like the prey took off early. Poor kitty just flops down and complains.

Michael Bowen's avatar

We visited my wife's cool cousin and her husband in California for Thanksgiving. They had recently returned from a photo safari in Tanzania where they saw two different leopards. One was actively scanning its surroundings from a tree and was as lean as you would expect a big cat to be. The other had obviously recently made a kill and was lolling around on its branch looking like a big pregnant house cat.

Is it Caturday already Martini? Being retired one sometimes loses track of what day it is.

Miss Grundy's avatar

Can we unleash this gorgeous creature in the corridors of the West Wing? And let him/her have tasty snacks?

CambridgeKnitter's avatar

A lot of the faces there are pretty unappetizing.

Miss Grundy's avatar

But leopards are indiscriminate eaters.....

CambridgeKnitter's avatar

That's handy, given the amount of silicone and who knows what else they'd ingest if they weren't careful.

A Tad Impatient To 86 47's avatar

I had a dream last night about being among huge, quiet crowds of people approaching our criminal governmentโ€™s buildings, along with all those of complicit political groups. We should be like leopards. Though I doubt Mr. Leopard operates in anger.

ElderlyLoudCatWomyn's avatar

Such power. I think JD Vance should be put in a room with this leopard for complaining about elderly cat ladies. Can you see him saying, "nice kitty."

That is one disappointed kitty, especially after the perfect sneaky sneaky crawl!!

Cats of all sizes just can't keep their tails from jerking around when they're in stalk mode.

tehbaddr's avatar

That is what is known as a Dalmatian Cat.

Shocktreatment's avatar

A big cat moving like that leopard is moving? Big trouble coming for some critter.

That unconscious grace and the implication of (very) sudden death... Even if they weren't gorgeous, they'd be fascinating

.200 kill average is formidable, we're not talking journeyman pitcher batting averages...

JCfromNC's avatar

That leopard looks to be doing some serious stalking... and then just settles in for a rest. I guess whatever they were after either turned out to be not as enticing as they'd thought from a distance, or left the area.

Does anyone remember the WWII song we used to sing to the tune of "Whistle While You Work" which contained the lines:

Whistle while you work

Hitler is a jerk

Mussolini bit his weenie

Now it doesn't work

Maybe someone (with more musical talent than I have) can update this.

I got news for that Reddit penis-word dude: weenage is already in use as a dick word.

Bupkus231's avatar

Really?

"Five New Slang Words For Penis..."

You headline this, but then we have to go to a Reddit link to find out what they are ( especially since we so often bill ourselves as a "dick joke emporium" )?

C'mon, let's see some more "completism" in reporting here.

Our Editrix just got back from Rome. Cut her some slack for the jet lag.

I hear they use Mountain Time over there.

Bupkus231's avatar

Personally, I suspect the need to limit herself to 5 "new" slang words was at fault. How many terms would she have had to sift through to find "new" slang words?

Bupkus231's avatar

From that "19th News" story:

"...In October, the right to wed was chipped away in Texas thanks to a rule change, approved by the Texas Supreme Court, which now allows judges to decline performing marriages based on their religious beliefs...."

How the hell is that even constitutional under the US Constitution? Maybe the Texas Supreme Court needs to face federal penalties for approving this. The assholes are so quick to cite the "supremacy clause" when it suits them, then go ahead and advance facially unconstitutional laws without a qualm.

Trump supposedly claimed that his new "gold card" visa program would generate "$50 trillion" - but, even at the $2 million he wants to charge corporate clients ( the $1 million is for individuals ), he doesn't seem to math out that it would take 25 million corporate clients to apply for this.

There ain't no way he spent any time trying to math it out - he's just spewing numbers like he always does.

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

Chumpflation. In his first term, he would have said it would generate $500 billion.

Bupkus231's avatar

I didn't remember him putting forth a "gold card" program in his first term. The earliest I remember him talking about such a program to cost individuals $5 billion - a "presentation" that quickly disappeared into the rest of his mental quagmire. I guess I'm surprised that some version of it has resurfaced/ individuals

Enter Ranting's avatar

Next week it'll be $60 trillion, then $70 trillion the week after that.

Really - the Secretary of State, at a time when our alliances are falling apart and the nutjob-in-chief is trying to start a new war, has the time to worry about document fonts? And justifies his decision, which will likely cost millions if he insists on existing documents be re-done, as a font is "too woke"?

These assholes don't seem to recognize just how many of their actions look like those of assholes.

Of course, I knew that too many of Trump's appointees were ultra rich, but I didn't guess it was this many ( several are pretty complete unknowns ). Also, why both saying "modern history" - it's clear that there's NEVER been so many billionaires in our government, let alone just the administration.

Roll out the tumbrels!!!!

Chuck C. Johnson

All I remember about that name is writers often made a distinction between the good Chuck Johnson and the bad Chuck Johnson. Same as they did with Roger Ailes.

I'm so glad that no one with my name has risen to the level of being notoriously evil.
