Some species of Lemur, I take it? Your posting was quite vague.

Well, it has Lemur-like eyes, if not the markings I am used to...

you’re a goner :). Congratulations on your new, little girl.
To: Slings and Arrows
Hah. I was kind of right. This species is closely related to the Lemurs, which would explain why all the other related species have names which could be applied to quite a few Outback animals. Slow Loris, yes.
Then again, the Ojibwa (Chippewa) native north american tribes also had some similar-sounding names for their familiar animals, if I recall correctly.

yep. our shift begins usually around 3:30. :(. AM. add to your list the "come feed me and play with me' yowling out in the kitchen.
My husband gets up of course to reinforce the behavior (because what would it be like to sleep in every once in awhile? ). He puts out treats and new food and where's the cat? In that time the furry beast has made his way bacl down the hall to crawl back in bed cuddled up next to me. The cat will eat later!! My husband comes back to bed to the soft snores of the curled up kitty. lol

Thank you for that kind thought. Only the living can know sorrow. But, better to have loving memories than to have nothing.

What my very large Maine Coon usually wants is my complete and uninterrupted attention. My lap. Whatever’s in my cereal bowl. And scrinchies.

I named my cat the sound a can opener makes.
He comes when I call him.

Yes, it's a Slow Loris.

Now you can see why these poor little things are being hunted down to export as pets. Sad

So, you’re saying the cat has trained your hubby to get out of bed at 3:30 a.m. and be busy with something else while the cat sneaks back and takes his place on the warm spot in the bed??? Is that about right? Something tells me this has NOTHING to do with kitteh’s appetite! ;o)

So if they're truly that benign and attractive, why are there not Breeders and Species-Promoters out there then? I mean, people have bloody rats and camels for pets -and don't ask about the ones that have insects for pets! So why do you claim they are going into extinction?
People have been known to breed tigers and even bears as pets -both of which will eat humans if they decide to. And as for rats, well, I know what I say when I tell you that if you pass away anywhere near a "pet" rat you had better pray that someone finds you quickly or there will not be much to identify you with as time goes on.
This species seems quite likeable and non-dangerous. What's the bloody problem then?
