Meerkat Manor

I'm watching season 1, via my Netflix streaming account. I can't believe I waited so long to see it. I am so damned hooked!

2. Yeah. I enjoy that show.

But it gets so sad sometimes with the harsh realities of nature.

10. I love the coy way they reference the mating urges

"Youssarian wants to be Flower's boyfriend..."

Umm, yeah. LOL. Youssarian wants his DNA in the next generation of the dominant female's litter. But that would be boring.

14. The way you said it sounds more interesting

11. My cats LOVE watching that!

We have a big TV in the living room, so I record it for them and all 3 will sit and watch it, chittering at each other and the TV the entire time. They find it fascinating.

15. Mine, too!! Well, at least Shamu!

I've often joked about Meerkat Manor being Shamu's favorite show. He loves it so much, that when it came on I used to go get him and set down in front of the TV. I didn't want him to miss "his story". When they'd do that bouncy-running thing, he'd beep at them!

17. My daughter used to get outraged by Flower.

She could not deal with Flower kicking her wayward daughters out of the tribe.
