Feedback Friday: Calming an Upset Pet

We’re going camping next weekend and plan to take the dogs with us!

Weird Pets: The Stages of a Cat Nap

Continuing with the weird pets theme, this is Kricket. Kricket loves to cuddle but she doesn’t like being on your lap - where the other two cats will just walk right across you to get from one side to the other, Kricket carefully calculates the distance for a few seconds and then hops across.
