"Someone told me it's all happening at the zoo," sang Paul Simon.



And he wasn't wrong.



Yes, you don't see nearly enough videos of squirrels waking up pandas from their afternoon naps these days. So thank goodness for this video, which comes courtesy of Toronto Zoo.

'That's The Weirdest Cat I've Ever Seen In My Life': John Cleese Insults Taylor Swift's Pussy On The Graham Norton Show

As any discerning Taylor Swift fan knows, the young songstress owns two cats, one of whom is called Olivia Benson (she's named after a character in 'Law & Order: SVU', dontcha know). Olivia Benson is a Scottish Fold cat - which means she's a little, erm, different-looking.



Or as John Cleese put it on 'The Graham Norton Show': "Is that a proper cat? Or is it damaged irreparably? That's the weirdest cat I've ever seen in my life.”



Poor old Taylor. Still, at least she didn't call it Kevin Pietersen... http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
