    Sneak attacks from under the bed are so much fun aren’t they, Cupcake? Keep up the good work! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy

    Newton, try to enjoy the kitten fun while it lasts.
    I used to have a cat who would chase his own tail.

    Chasing tails is so much fun ! Pixie stills plays with her own tail from time to time, even if she’s an adult now. Purrs
