Some cuteness for the day

I was watching random cat videos on YouTube, then that video came up featuring a classical musician who composes calming music for cats, especially the ones with anxiety and trauma. I was so turned on and told Ian that he had a serious competition now 😂😂

Leash your fucking large dogs you fucking idiots. A neighbor leaves their pit bull dog without a leash. No one in the street can locate the said neighbor and the dog doesn't have a tag. 30 minutes later, we hear screams. The pit bull attacks & bites a much smaller dog and the poor thing's mom is...

We have a tiny backyard that we want to clean up and secure with chicken wire and bamboo sticks, so the cats can explore the outdoors safely & they'll always be supervised. Any tips/ideas on how to make it fun for them on a small budget? 🙂 #cats #catio
