The name "ocelot" comes from the Aztec word "ōcēlōtl".

But the Aztecs actually used "ōcēlōtl" to refer to the jaguar, which is a much bigger cat.

They look similar, but one is much more cat than the other.

So if a jaguar is an ocelot, then this cat should be called an ocelittle.

A strip of the comic Zits with the following dialogue: Jeremy: Your hair looks nice now, Sara. Sara: I hate it. It's too stiff. Too formal. Too not-me. I want my hair to be more... ...more... ...well, like yours! How do you get that cool, casual, just-rolled-out-of-bed look? Jeremy: I just rolled out of bed.

This is the most extensive rebuild I've done to a guitar yet, and I'm really proud of it!

So true
Y tf would you wear puphoods in public bro TwT They're not a replacement for fursuits! I don't own a fursuit and don't have plans to own one. The pup hood really helps me with my crippling stagefright and with embodying one of my fursonas. I plan to get a bobcat mask at some point too, and maybe a skunk one as well, so I can swap between species! you don't see how the pup-hood is wrong to wear in public? Even if modified, it's still s-x gear. Love you all, my cute, handsome, pretty queer-friends, don't matter if you're gay, bisexual, transsexual, trans or queer in any way :3 (other than if you have a stupid non-existent-pronoun-gender identity :3)

Rocking (literally!) my new Chevali Firebirds hat from @foresteruniverse.com! Not my home team, but that number 57 tiger sure is something.

We may not be winning any UFL championships, but @blarginator.bsky.social and I are a pretty good musical team, if I may say so.

Gonna be playing some tunes down near the convention center at AC in a minute!
