The last line of that article is worded in a way that made me snicker...

Aw...so we're getting one this weekend?

I am a little confused by this statement...
"At about 2.5 feet long from nose tip to tail tip, the olinguito weighs about 2 pounds and is a little smaller than a house cat."

2 pounds = a little smaller than a house cat? They've obviously never met Dirty Frank Black...
