Three Scoops for Your Heat Wave Relief

Three scoops of Meerkat, please.

With thanks to Cute Overload , contributor Stephan Shaw for the Melbourne Zoo and Sue McIlroy for the tip.

Long Overdo Meerkat Post

It’s been a terribly long time since we had a meerkat post. So lets start off the season witha watermelon-cavorting meerkat.

“How Do You Like My New Outfit, Guys?”

Tip of the watermelon to ICanHasCheezburger. Of course.

Meerkats: Tradition!

“Traditionnnn! Tradition!”  goes the famous Broadway song from Meerkats on the Roof Fiddler on the Roof.

It turns out that meerkats have their own traditions quite aside from the ones immigrant meerkats followed in the early part of this century (pictured here on arrival to Ellis Island), and you can see those other ones [...]

Alors! Give-Away Winner

I’m delighted to announce the winner of the Twilight tee give-away — KayeCee Spain, who prefers vampires over werewolves. Congrats!

And do you know what else today is? It’s Bastille Day! The meerkat reminded me. Allons, Meerkats de la Patria! Or should that be “meerchats?”

The Spirit of ’76, Meerkat Style

Happy New Decade!

“Cheers!”

The Gift of the Meerkat

The Christmas Meerkat, on the other hand, is closer to home, [...]

Cutting Back this Holiday? Giveaways & Meerkats

It’s been way too long since I brought you another meerkat sighting. Yes, apparently even the national Geograohic is cutting back.

Mucho thanks to photographer Brian of Roses That Last for hooking us up with this photo of his fellow-photographer meerkat. (Also, if you love roses, check out his spectacular rose photography. Um, Brian’s, [...]

Meerkat Sighting!

Apparently I have to give meerkats their own blog category., as meerkats have been coming at me from different directions.

This is one of the cutest, funniest things I’ve seen on esty in a long time. It’s already sold out so I’ve linked to the shop::

The crafter behind this shop in fact [...]
