No, he's actually handicapped. We took him in from the outside after he got himself wounded some how, it was a head injury and he wound up feverish when we found him and nursed him back to health. His depth perception sucks and his hearing isn't really all that great.

badgers are bad ass
and not only honey badgers.
I once saw a dachshund which had to be pulled out by his hind legs from a badgers hole, having clamped down on the badger which was dragged out along with the dog.
There's already plot afoot to do the 100 cat people pic. We'll have that one by no later than Sunday I'm sure.

yes all badgers honey or otherwise are pissed off all the time. Any animal the volentarily goes in a badger hole is either A) really dumb or B) fearless
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-12T11:01:11-05:00
the 150,000 backers is hard to tell if it's light up but it is
Horror Junky - Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-12T11:02:26-05:00
@Dave The Quack: How in the world would a dachshunds fight off a badger? It's got short stubby legs and little teeth. Badgers are all sharp razors and stuff.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:04:04-05:00
Geist and DtQ, that's not a thing I would want to witness. :-(
Even Badgers have a predator that keeps them in check though, so their extreme and reckless anger only takes them so far. It's the [golden eagle] I believe.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-12T11:06:21-05:00
Horror Junky I'm not sure but that's what they were originally bred for.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:06:25-05:00
Maybe I need to change my spirit animal to badger.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:07:14-05:00
Do we have any badgittens, yet?
Mike Kabala 2015-02-12T11:07:32-05:00
Even Zombittens are cute when @DDD draws them. The new image is now on the Fact Sheet at www.KittenCorps.com
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:08:03-05:00
DtQ, they were bred to deal with badgers specifically? Not just general burrowing animals?
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-12T11:08:11-05:00
I don't thin i knew that about golden eagles and badgers hmm I assume they fly at them from behind...no one wants to be on the business end of a badger
Mr. PACG 2015-02-12T11:08:34-05:00
Big jump in EK facebook followers in past 24hrs.. ~ 10K new followers
I'd say at this point Twitter won't reach 100K in the next 7 days
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:08:56-05:00
Hmm... the goals are out of date on the fact sheet.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:09:35-05:00

dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-12T11:09:45-05:00
yea the goal was badgers probably used for other animals as well but the goal was badgers. The miniatures we eventually bread for smaller burrowing game such as rabbits but the full sized were for badgers

dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-12T11:10:30-05:00
Wonder what happens if we unlock everything...KittenCon becomes a reality?
Jeremy D. Huntsinger 2015-02-12T11:11:39-05:00
@Bob, I totally had the same idea. We could have enough achievements done in a heart beat if they came in and helped. Though it isn't always a given that everyone has a facebook/twitter account.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:11:50-05:00
DtQ, crazy!
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:12:16-05:00
DtQ, dachshunds don't seem like terribly badass dogs, but I guess they don't give a shit either.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-12T11:12:50-05:00
@Jeremy. About every 15-20 minutes a new backer pops in here and drops that suggestion. @Catness is gonna go postal at some point.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:13:50-05:00
Jeremy, everyone has had this same thought, so it keeps getting suggested. PoT's just trying to provoke me to join the dark, dark, dark side.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-12T11:14:00-05:00
no they don't to be fair mine is a sweetheart and i don't know that i could see her doing anything like that. She just loves hanging out but does like to bark at ANYTHING that comes near my house. Heaven forbid my across the street neighbor get his mail!
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:14:27-05:00
PoT, it's funny because it's not actionable and everyone has this genius idea like no one else would have ever thought of it. And it's so easy why hasn't it been done?!
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:15:02-05:00
PoT, it's always a good sign that something is very easy when it hasn't been accomplished.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-12T11:16:15-05:00
ok break time! talk to you all later!
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-12T11:16:21-05:00
@Catness. Exactly! Why hasn't it been done? You just have to make sure that every backer gets an email telling them to go to FB and Twitter....
I think you should do it.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-12T11:17:33-05:00
Hey, has anyone thought of just getting every backer to like on FB and Twitter so we can get that last one?
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:17:39-05:00
PoT, I imagined one hundred thousand individual people taking the time to go to or create a relevant account and then navigate to the Exploding Kittens portion of the relevant service and click the specified button. I imagined it, so I can't see why it would be so hard to do!
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-12T11:18:12-05:00
@Tchotchke. Excellent suggestion!
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:18:25-05:00
Chop, chop, cats and kittens. Get out there and make it happen!
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-12T11:18:26-05:00
Well just like the badger, Golden Eagles are nothing to mess with.... they hardly need a sneak attack, and they're so big they don't necessarily get one... https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:19:04-05:00
PoT and Tchotchke, it's not even a suggestion, it's just a restatement of the task.
@Tchotchke: I think if we get everyone to like it on Twitter and FB it would work better. Maybe we should do that, right?
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:19:43-05:00
Anyone else use Waze? I know this guy who was telling me that he's been losing ground, but to be fair he hasn't been earning points, because he hasn't been driving.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:20:03-05:00
I was like, "Dude, that's not fair or unfair, that's just a restatement of how the game works."
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:20:33-05:00
"I've been winning, but to be fair, it's because I'm earning more points."
They also kill their food.... by dropping it out of the sky. It's their main tactic that allows them to eat turtles. They find a good hard rock for maximum effect.... people have been mistaken for said rocks....
We should hire golden eagles to deliver a message to all those that haven't liked or followed yet "We would REALLY like you to like on facebook and follow on twitter...."
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:25:11-05:00
Jennifer, I did it! Now if we just extrapolate from my personal willingness and ability, we can assume that this task has been completed. Let's all check!
Mike Kabala 2015-02-12T11:25:24-05:00
+1 for the squeeze bottle Defuse card!
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:25:43-05:00
Damn and f--k, we're still short. How?!?!
Jeremy D. Huntsinger 2015-02-12T11:25:47-05:00
All we need is The Oatmeal to make a disappointed staring comic piece to let all those backers that haven't posted a picture to do so. That or I could send a sketch of my undead Waffle and see if that scares them into liking and following said pages.
@CB: It's a while back but yes I'm +1 for squirt bottle too....
Jeremy D. Huntsinger 2015-02-12T11:27:06-05:00
Catness, I agree that this makes no sense. We don't even need everyone to get on the band wagon, just a few more. Why is it so hard to ask for so little?
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:27:22-05:00
I doubt that the Oatmeal will get involved to directly help complete the task, but maybe.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-12T11:27:28-05:00

Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T11:28:27-05:00
Jeremy, I'm lost in a swamp of satire and sarcasm, so I'm not able to gauge the sincerity of your statement.
@CB my email is acting up but I'd like to add that the squittens can shoot hairballs out of their cheeks at a semi-automatic speed. If I figure out how I'd like to word it will posting here suffice?
High, the count is high. Baked out of it's mind, it gazes into the future and yearns for higher numbers and tacobell......

Nooo, never retarded. He's playing you like a violin. Trust me.
@Creeper
Whatcha bakin'? Kitten cupcakes? Or is that Kittakes?
No, he's actually handicapped. We took him in from the outside after he got himself wounded some how, it was a head injury and he wound up feverish when we found him and nursed him back to health. His depth perception sucks and his hearing isn't really all that great.

That should be a card in the EK deck. It allows you to skip your turn.
Is it one to go then? Trying to find something updated and I r blind it seems...

Nice. Now the last one is gonna be hard - unless someone has already plotted out a comicon or similar venue to raid with cat ears...

DtQ, because we just need more people to like the page, you see.
120,006 ... or did I miss a few?
