Momo's parts.All about the different parts of one Japanese man's pet hamster plus illustrations. "I have read that hamster's whiskers shows the width that they can pass through. But Momo forgets. One day Momo tried to go into the cleaner hose. As he has the big hip, he could't go into it. And in his effect to go, he could't get his head out. When I ran to him in a hurry, his head gone out of the hose, and he rolled backward."

He has no action to touch him.
Softly I push him, he sways to may finger.

Japan is endlessly fascinating to me. No irony here.
This site kills me, I mean, a totally earnest webpage about a rat's genitals, this is genius

I believe Momo is a Japanese woman's hamster (at least the author of this site is a woman).

BTW, sickly sweet cuteness alert....

This is utterly charming. And I just may have found myself a new .sig:

When do we get a picture of Momo with a pancake on his head?

Hamsters have very little tails.
It's about 1cm, and grows a little hair and pink.
When does Momo move his tail ,I think, he has his tail up with all his might at the toilet.
I touched it softry! We haven't to touch hamsters tails ,because they hate.
I am sorry, Momo.

Why is this so damn funny? I read this link yesterday and I've been breaking up into convulsive giggles ever since. We haven't to touvh hamsters tails, because they hate. I am sorry, Momo. God that's funny.

Mefi rules. This kind of random, unforeseen, Net-happiness is exactly what I come here for. And the...uh...informed discussion. And the pancakes.
