    I almost want to go whale watching just to watch the dog play with them… (Almost. Boats and I are not friends. 🤢)

    I think it’s a bit of a set-up, I mean except for the first cat all the containers are placed just right at the top of the stairs ready for the cats to get in and tip them and slide down but the cats do seem to enjoy it.

    Okay. Inquiring Minds….
    If there is a company in the US that manufactures dog testicle prosthetics (for after they’ve been fixed, so they don’t lose their dignity !!!???), why hasn’t anyone manufactures ‘glass’ eyes for cats? Personally, I have such a hard time looking a pictures of cats who have lost their eyes. It hurts my heart and I find the vets do such a sloppy job of “closing” them. I will not belabor my point but I am curious. If there are any vets, vet techs, etc., who can share thoughts? I am interested. The only thought I had is that if they are still growing, they eyes are still growing. But still… seems like a challenge that could be met.

    and YES! Testicle prosthetics! I saw it on Bondi Vet:

    If you don’t know Dr. Chris from Bondi Vets, brace yourselves, hubba hubba.

      “Dog testicle prosthetics” was not something I expected to read. Ever. 😵‍💫

      Awwwwww’s for the baby quokka playing peek-a-boo. 🥰

    I would not mind being mugged by a whale. Especially with that beautiful goldie next to me.

    Those bonded kitties warm my heart.

    Cat surfing might be my new favorite thing. My cats would never be so adventurous!

    Looking forward to joey time later.

    I am going to get a plush quokka, as soon as I can find one that doesn’t look dorky.
