Are you ready for an hour of animals standing up adorably on their back legs? Then you are ready for Meerkat Manor.

Flower, the ruler of the manor, had a litter of pups about three weeks back. They have a 1 in 4 chance of dying in their first days out of the burrow. The whole meerkat clan is on high alert for hawks. Yeah, so is everybody else in the whole world. The hawk thinks I owe him money, but I say it was a gift and not a loan like he’s claiming.

Meerkats can eat scorpions without worrying about its poison. No, not the bands Scorpions and Poison. Do we need to enroll you in some extra tutoring classes at Sylvan Learning Center?

Some young “teenage” meerkats took one of the pups out for a good time. Then abandoned it while they roughhoused elsewhere. So the pup is 99.9% doomed.

One of the older meerkats saved the pup. Hooray for 0.1%! Isn’t that the rate that properly used birth control fails?

Shakespeare just got himself bit. Twice. By a puff adder. So he’s pretty much dead. But so was that pup. I have a feeling he will live a long life filled with standing up on his hind legs.

Tosca, one of Flower’s older children, probably gave birth to her own pups last night. Too bad Flower reserves the right to be the only one who has children. That’s a hell of a right. So she’s going to kill herself some babies!

Carlos, a meerkat from a rival clan, is rubbing his hairy berries all over everything. Specifically around Flower’s new pups. Meerkats needs to make themselves some decency laws.

There was almost a rumble between Flower’s clan and Carlos’. Alas, nothing exciting happened. And Shakespeare is still alive.

The rumble is back on! Flower’s clan kicked some butt. That doesn’t stop Carlos from coming back and stalking their females. That dude doesn’t give up when it comes to sexual exploits.

With Meerkat Manor tying What I Like About You, it isn’t hard to see why I turned my back on the terrible What I Like About You. Let’s get our animal reality show on!

Flower is the head of the Whiskers family. I hope Jase gets voted out. I mean…what do I mean?

Last episode, a bunch of the clan Whiskers tried to slip away from Flower’s control. Flower caught them all, there was probably a fight, and now everyone is saying sorry to Flower.

Meerkats love millipedes! Ben and Jerry could make a fortune selling Y2K:The New Millipedia ice cream to meerkats.

Meerkat Daisy, who likes to sleep around with meerkats from other families, is pregnant. That won’t make Flower happy. She has a very simple rule. Only she can have babies.

I saw meerkats at the zoo last weekend. I also fed a giraffe a cracker. I also had some ice cream. It was a big day.

Daisy was forced to give birth away from the Whiskers home. If she gave birth at the den, Flower might have killed the babies. In the middle of the night, Daisy was persuaded to move her pups home. She only moved two, and then called it a night, thus killing the rest. Maybe Flower was right. The other gals shouldn’t have pups. Not if she is going to metaphorically drown them in a bathtub.

Did I just say a meerkat was right? That seems like an odd thing to say. If I start taking advice from my cats, please help me.

I don’t trust anyone who uses the word “delightful.” Nothing is ever “delightful.”

Hah, Daisy thought Flower and the rest went off to find her some food. It turns out they were just moving their den and leaving Daisy. That’s cruel and interesting. Awww, now Daisy left her pups to find the rest of the family. Flower is one mean mother…shut your mouth…I’m just talking `bout Flower…then I can dig it. Dig a new den, that is. I’ll leave you with that.
