We’ve been seeing those videos of people wrapping cats for Christmas so we decided to try it ourselves with our kitten. Overall, I call it a success. He was pretty much wrapped, didn’t draw any blood, and, for the most part, allowed me to do whatever. This turned out much better than we expected.
Happy Birthday to my sweet, silly, smart little girl.
Lily turns 9 today and life just keeps getting better. Her optimism and her love for animals makes each day a fun adventure.
