Miscellaneous Internet Critter Vids and Pics

This thread is for one-off cute vids & pics that we come across, rather than making a separate thread for each, (older vids I move here will precede this comment.)

I don't think Ella would like being outside in a cage-type tent. If I were ever to get sufficient energy to build it, she would like a larger enclosed area where she could go in and out between the house and a wired area where she could take advantage of the air and the sun, and if I could arrange a part of a tree trunk at about a 45-50 degree angle for climbing, that would be even better. She would probably still explore ways of getting out of it, but I think she'd appreciate it.
 
I don’t think that the cat like being in the tent either ! I have seen several videos of cats outside in something similar, and they want to run and chase and when the tent rolls over with them, they just want to escape.
I did see one for cats that looks like the little plastic balls they make for hamsters, but cats size, and the cat actually seemed to do okay with that, probably because the cat would just walk and the ball rolled and didn’t turn over on him like the tent does.
They also make hamster wheels for inside cats, and the videos O have seen , the cats do seem to like getting in the wheel and running, just like hamsters do.

"Hamster Wheel" is the first thing I thought of. A younger brother had a hamster that liked to roll around the house in his ball. He liked chasing the cat in it.

Ken's thoughts of building an outdoor enclosure for Ella got me thinking about how that could be done. Fences can keep most dogs in (although some can jump/climb over), but cats need something with a top (perhaps netting) and sides that go all the way up to it. Only a small space would be feasible, which wouldn't really be much fun. And it would have to be intruder-proof, or the cat would be trapped inside with whatever predator (domestic or otherwise) that made its way in.

That being said...Amazon to the rescue!
