September 8, 2011

How many cat owners recognise this pose?! It’s the classic cat with a folded over paw image! For some reason, cats seem to be able to sit in weird bendy positions, a quick stretch, and they are back to normal.  A crumpled hand or ear is a day of pain for a person! Does your [...]
