Hanna-Barbera's Top Cat series lasted only one season on ABC, 1961-62. Ratings were low, Top Cat toy sales were poor and executives at Kellogg's, the primary sponsor, objected to some of the adult humor. Top Cat was voiced by Arnold Stang imitating Phil Silvers.

This seems like one of those non sequitur, cut-away jokes on Family Guy:

But it's real and I'm glad this (non ninja) turtle in a half shell made it out.
Moment tortoise escapes her burning enclosure as it goes up in flames
Leo the tortoise was sleeping in her shed when a rogue heat lamp fell over and set fire to the hay she was resting on.

I'm a little suspicious about all the camera coverage of this. How many cameras do they have on this thing? Inside, outside. Is the camera panning, or is that just a still image being panned for the story? And also, who places an animal in an enclosure with a big, hot bulb sitting right above a pile of hay?This seems like one of those non sequitur, cut-away jokes on Family Guy:

Maybe it's one of them their AI turtles. It reminds of a time daughter brought home a turtle and put in a plastic bin in the garage. She got mad about something and kicked the bin (not the turtle) and it dented the plastic. When I was taking out a garbage bag I saw the turtle had escaped. I saw it going down the driveway at 2 knots. I just pretended that I didn't see anything.
I've been feeding my raccoon buddies Ritz crackers these days and tonight both I and the raccoon were brave enough to have it take one from my hand!
It was very cool.
I'll chat with you all from the hospital tomorrow when I'm getting that series of painful rabies shots.

This is becoming less and less of a joke by the day.
I feed a fed a few of them. One kinda walks sideways......Gotta keep an eye on that one.
The others are all kinda fat so I can't really tell them apart. EXCEPT one of the fat ones has clearly been chilling with me the longest cause he is getting VERY forward and handsy. He's obviously the one I hand fed on Monday. Yesterday he sees me, runs right up to me and grabs my leg with his paws. I freaked out a bit at first but he wasn't being aggressive, just really jonesing for Ritz and happy to see me. His nails were a bit scratchy but didn't break the skin or anything.
Tonight he'll probably jump on my back or something.
Memo to Natalie Hoage: "LOL" is a stupid expression and should never be used in a headline.

Mrs. Scotch is on goat duty again this week. She asked me to join on the visit, because the female, Ivy (with the black stripe), likes guys. Here, they're chewing on the zipper pulls on my jacket.
I don't. I'm guessing only one has the balls to run up to me and even grab my leg.
What I assume are all the others, hang way back.
Also, the others eat whatever I throw them. This guy sniffs it and says "fuck you bro, that ain't a Ritz" and keeps coming towards me.
The cat rescue founder said she was "completely speechless." If she really was speechless, she would not have been able to say she was speechless. Anyway, this story teaches us a new word: "diprosopus." It means "two-faced" in Greek and refers to craniofacial duplication, an extremely rare congenital disorder that results in one or more facial features being duplicated on the head and can occur in animals and in humans. Almost all humans with diprosopus are stillborn.

Without looking it up, how many toes (front and back paws) does a standard domestic cat typically have?
I'd say 4 per paw. But it's possible they have a higher claw too, which I don't think is a toe.
