“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 over here [...]
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 [...]
Independence Day has come and gone, but let us all acknowledge and ponder the patriotism of the Meerkat.
Alas, the Meerkat did not celebrate safely. I don’t know what time the Meerkat came home from his meerkat merriment, but this is how we found him in the morning:
Clearly we’re going to have to have [...]
Lilly was dark-eyed, vivacious and winsome but she couldn’t get a date. The 3 year-old meerkat living in at Twinlakes Park in Melton Mowbray, UK, was lonely after an arranged marriage fell through.
The BBC reports that staff at Twinlakes decided to set up a meerkat dating website for Lilly, and soon a suitor was found, described [...]

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 creates knitted meerkats of all [...]
