Hana Needs to Knead

Not That Mike The Other Mike4 Comments

Hana doesn’t just like to make biscuits with her cushion — she has a burning need to knead, which has Kitten Miri very concerned.

Thanks, Andrew Y., we needed that.

Settle Down, Hana

While Kitten Miri sleeps in her futon, Hana meows restlessly. But there’s no problem that can’t be fixed with some loving pets.

Well, there is one problem pets can’t fix: hairballs. For that, Hana and Miri need to take their medicine. Good luck with that.

For today’s open thread, reader Tara O. shares this photo of Ophelia, a cat with a very important job:

She is a support animal for cats ONLY! Her co-worker, Clark (a black tux kitty), is the support animal for the dogs that come in. They both know their jobs and perform them well.

Confidentially, I got the tougher job.
