Fuzzy Friday: Enter Sand Kitty
We always joke that our cat, Oliver, is the sandman. If you’re trying to get out of bed in the morning, he’ll try to keep you there with his kneading and cuddling. If you sit down on our bed (or his bed, if you ask him) to pet him, his hypnotic purrs will have you knocked out faster than a dose of Lunesta.
But these kitties at the Cincinnati Zoo are actually sandmen! Well, sand cats technically. These little desert cats have fur on their paw pads so they can walk around on the hot sand. At just 4.5 to 5.5 pounds, these cuties are even tinier than the kitties at our house. Admire the cute below:

Thanks for sharing this! Adorable. They look like wide kitten-headed foxes, with nifty sporty stripes upon their wee arms. Like they are wearing varsity cardigans. Cute!!
By the way, I LOVE your shirts. Found out about you and your blog via ModernCat.net.
Thank you,
–K.F.

These SandMen or Sand Kitties are adorable, but I can see they’re TROUBLE! I have trouble cat here and I know that glimmer in the eye.

Little sandkitties, bring me a dream, make it the cutest that I’ve ever seen…
Those are seriously the most heart-melting adorable animals I’ve seen in a while. One short of being as cute as the sugar gliders in the cool whip tub.
