‘My Milk Toof’ by Inhae Renee Lee

Toof Cleaning

Toof Cleaning

Inhae Renee Lee, a California artist, does an amazing job choreographing two little teeth, Ickle and Lardee, in their delightful adventures. Subtle humor permeates the light-hearted photo stories that include bath-time, hopelessly vying for  attention, midnight snacks, cheering up a sad plant, being greedy with ice cream, and exploring the outside world. Here are some of my favorites:

PS3 EyePet is the New Aibo

Augmented reality has been everywhere these days, but this is the first time I’m even marginally interested in the results. The PS3 EyePet looks mega-cute and seems really interactive & fun (check out the Kotaku review). The game comes with a (I’m sure very special) white card and will be sold with and without the PS3 Eye camera. Should be hitting stores this Holiday season.

3-Age ‘Little Iron Man’ Action Figure

Marvels 3 Age Iron Man Action Figure

Marvel's 3 Age Iron Man Action Figure

Standing at 12 inches, this soft vinyl 3 age Iron Man is menacingly cute and shiny (I assume also squishy & huggable for those so inclined). Unfortunately this little guy is impossible to find in the US and sells for 3,990¥ or about $40 on blister.jp

‘Slow Loris’, the Cutest Animal You Can Never Own

Slow Loris

Slow Loris

With his big eyes, cute button nose, and slow deliberate movement, the Slow Loris is just about the cutest wild animal you can come across. This nocturnal creature has opposable thumbs and will slowly nibble on fruits that it grasps with a deadly grip… And as much as you want to take a Slow Loris home to love and keep, they should never be made into household pets. Bummer.

A Cat Scratcher You Can Put in the Living Room

Petlinks Curvy Two-Surface Scratcher

Petlinks Curvy Two-Surface Scratcher

$24.99 at amazon.com

Scratching posts are unsightly – which is why this curvy scratcher, with it’s unconventional looks, is perfect for the living room (we keep ours under a side table). This scratcher has become a play-thing, scratching-thing, and a laying-around at all hours of the day thing. And that’s really the only problem – since the kitties tear up every part of the scratching surface (not just the sisal), we’re on our second one after about a year of use. But hey, the curvy scratcher is cheap enough.. and being guaranteed that the cats will like it always makes it worth it!
