Jimmy Craig’s They Can Talk comics humorously imagine what animals might say if they could talk. From cats and dogs to birds and raccoons, Craig brings their inner thoughts to life in a funny and relatable way.
Craig’s unique sense of humor shines through his work as he takes the ordinary behavior of animals and gives them a voice. Whether it’s a cat plotting mischief or a dog thinking about food, his comics offer a fresh perspective on familiar pet moments. Scroll down to see the latest comics!
Bored Panda had the opportunity to interview Jimmy once again! As They Can Talk is a long-running series, we were curious to learn how the artist keeps the creative spark alive. “I’ve found that stepping away and working on other projects has really helped,” he shared.
“I’m working on so many projects that are completely different from They Can Talk that my brain is just occupied at all times. I even started a different comic series (jimmytried) that has been a creative outlet for ideas that don’t fit anywhere else. I’m terrible at taking breaks.”
Jimmy shared that he makes a deliberate effort to keep They Can Talk timeless. “I want to make something that will age well and be just as relevant today as it might be in 20 years. I don’t know if that will be the case, but that’s the goal. It also tends to be the type of humor that I gravitate towards.”
When asked about the most rewarding moments or milestones in his comic creation journey, the artist shared that being welcomed into a community of cartoonists he has admired for years has been an incredible experience. “As far as most rewarding, just recently, I did a comic expo in Boston, and I met so many people that have followed my comics for a while, some that even traveled hours to see me. My jaw was on the floor. My readers are really thoughtful and supportive online, but it was a different experience entirely to meet so many of them in person.”
So, what’s next for They Can Talk? Jimmy revealed that he’s recently ventured into TikTok! “I’ve resisted joining it for a while, but there are so many potential readers that might never see my comic otherwise. We’ll see if it changes my approach to telling jokes- TBD.”
Let’s take a journey back in time, pandas. Picture ancient Egypt, where cats were worshiped as holy guardians and treated like royalty. Fast forward to today, and what do you see? Cats are still stealing the spotlight with their irresistible charm and peculiar looks.
Speaking of cats’ daily routines, did you know that an average cat sleeps around 12-16 hours every day? This extended nap time not only allows the animals to recharge their batteries but also gives their owners plenty of opportunities to capture them in various funny poses.
However, when they’re awake, cats have a knack for turning boring moments into funny adventures, and it’s really amusing to see their mischievous character in action. Their spontaneous antics can be found on the subreddit “What’s Wrong With Your Cat?“, which has 728,000 members, so we decided to delve into its archives and find some really entertaining pictures of our feline friends. Don’t forget to share which one is your favorite in the comments!
Such odd behaviors displayed by cats stem from millions of years of biological evolution. Just like their ancestors, who were solitary hunters, modern cats rely on their natural instincts in order to survive.
But is it just genetics that drive a tabby’s behavior? Or is it the things they pick up along the way? Well, it’s actually a bit of both. Their behavior is a combination of genetic traits and life experiences, creating a purrfectly unique personality.
For instance, it’s their hunting heritage that often leads to amusing situations in a domestic setting. When a cat pounces on a moving shadow, it could be because it mistakes it for prey. This often leads to our favorite pet comically chasing its own tail in circles.
In fact, these natural instincts have also improved their interactions with humans. Modern cats have adapted to use vocalization to attract human attention. Back in the day, meowing was like the secret language of moms and kittens. But now, cats purr to communicate more effectively with humans.
Such genetic traits largely influence a feline’s behavior. But their quirky behavior can also be credited to their life experiences. Let’s dive into how their environment affects them.
Kittens have a critical socialization period from two to seven weeks old. During this time, they’re like little sponges, soaking up everything around them. It is during this time they learn what’s normal and safe. Anything they don’t experience as a baby might become a bit scary later on.
Research shows that kittens who receive 30–40 minutes of petting and play time daily tend to develop a stronger bond with humans. Additionally, if kittens interact with more humans growing up, then they are more comfortable around people as adult cats.
Exposure to different environments also impacts a cat’s demeanor, leading to some rather peculiar antics. A cat raised in a bustling city apartment may develop a heightened sense of curiosity. For such city cats, the living room is their playground as they investigate every hiding spot and secret passage with ninja-like agility

Meanwhile, their countryside cousin may exhibit a more relaxed demeanor. They enjoy spending leisurely afternoons relaxing in the sun or lazily batting at passing insects. These contrasting environments not only shape a cat’s physical abilities but also influence their social interactions and overall temperament.
It’s this blend of nature and nurture that makes understanding cat behavior fascinating. As cat parents, it’s crucial for us to grasp these quirks in order to make a meaningful connection with our beloved pets. After all, the unique bond between a cat and its human companion often defies conventional expectations.
Unlike dogs, which are known for their ample display of affection and loyalty, cats tend to express their attachment in more subtle yet profound ways. Although known for their aloof nature, cats are secret softies when it comes to their human companions.
Through cuddle sessions and playful antics, they form deep emotional connections with their owners. So, don’t be fooled by their independent nature — these whiskered wonders are just as attached to us as we are to them.
This bond isn’t just about having a furry sidekick, it’s a unique partnership built on trust and mutual respect. Cats, with their keen intuition, can sniff out our emotions faster than a dog can find a treat. They’re our silent confidants, offering purr-fect comfort and cuddles whenever we’re feeling a bit ruff. They always provide comfort during our times of need.

Sometimes, misinterpreting a cat’s behavior could strain the bond between owner and feline friend. Navigating through their quirky moments with patience and empathy makes things easy and manageable. One key approach is to establish a consistent routine for your pet, providing them with structure and predictability in their daily lives.

Additionally, providing physical stimulation through interactive toys and playtime can help channel their energy in more constructive ways. Now, whether they are dodging imaginary obstacles like a feline superhero or giving you peculiar looks, all you need to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the show until they tire out.
And finally, don’t hesitate to seek guidance from a veterinarian or animal behaviorist if you’re struggling to address specific behavioral issues. For more similar pictures, fire up our older publication on weird cat behavior.
Who doesn’t love to look at funny and cute photos of adorable pets doing stuff? Whether they are eating, playing, or napping, cute pets always manage to put a smile on our faces. Quarantine has brought some good additions to the neverending supply of four-legged companion photos. With so many people having much more time to spend with their adorable dogs, we are happy to say that there are just so many more of their pictures online. What’s even better is that some pet photo “genres” are getting amazing contributions. One of them is the “pets doing classwork” genre.
As college professor Marie-Amélie George has pointed out, this particular genre is quite underappreciated. While we have seen some of these cool photos before, we haven’t seen so many of them yet. Thanks to George, who inspired people to share photos of smart dogs out with homework after saying that she asks her students to share them with her, we could make a list of them. So scroll down below to see the funny dog photos!
Nothing brightens up my day more than seeing my adorable cat curl up in my lap for a nap or run to the door to greet me when I get home from work. He might be a bit demanding when he’s hungry, and his teeth can be a little too sharp at times. But I wouldn’t trade that little guy for the world.
Adopting an animal into your family can simultaneously change your life and theirs. We all need love and companionship, even furry little creatures, and knowing that you saved a precious animal from a life in a cage is a great feeling. Below, you’ll find photos of some of the sweetest animals who have recently been adopted. These cuties have finally found their fur-ever homes, and they couldn’t be happier. Keep reading to find a conversation with Ivanka Patterson of Every Dog Matters EU, and be sure to upvote the pics that inspire you to adopt not shop!
To learn more about what it’s like to adopt a loving animal into your family, we reached out to Ivanka Patterson, director of Every Dog Matters EU. Ivanka was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and explain why it’s so important to adopt rather than shop our pets.
“A lot of dogs from breeders come from illegal puppy mills where the dogs and puppies are living in very poor conditions,” Ivanka shared. “Not knowing the origins of your bought pups hides the huge risk of getting an overbred pup which will have genetic health issues and a shorter life span.”

“Shopping instead of adopting keeps this ugly business alive,” Ivanka continued. “The pros of adopting a dog are – you know the story and the health state of the dog you are adopting; you are giving a chance to an animal that, more often than not has not been treated well in life, to discover what real love and home mean; mixed breeds are much healthier.”
And when it comes to the benefits we can receive from adopting dogs, Ivanka says, “We believe there is a hidden superhero in each one of us. By adopting a rescue animal, this superhero comes to life, and the feeling of worthiness within oneself greatly improves one’s self-esteem.”

“It has been scientifically proven that adopting a pet from a shelter makes people become more compassionate and responsible,” Ivanka added. “It has physical benefits as well, like spending time with one’s adopted animal normalizes blood pressure, reduces cortisol and helps overcome mental disorders like depression. And last but not least, all of the above makes us better people.”

Unfortunately, not everyone understands how lovable and amazing rescue animals can be. So Ivanka wanted to set some of the common misconceptions about rescue dogs straight. First, she addressed the idea that an animal from a shelter will be aggressive and untrainable. “So not true. A dog’s behavior depends greatly on the conditions we put the dog in and on the way we interact with it,” Ivanka shared.
“Dogs need between 3 to 6 months in order to adjust to their new home. During this time the adopter MUST give the animal its space, be patient with it, and respect the dog’s willingness for privacy,” the expert says. “Having realistic expectations and patience is the key for a happy dog-human relationship.”

Tigger, showed up a few days before Christmas on my folks’ porch. Folks thought he might be a nearby farm cat, but he didn’t leave after a day and a half. Cruz, the dog, refused to eat his dinner in the second day and kept whining at the door. He didn’t go to his bowl till Tigger was let in. He then waited for Tigger to eat his full of his food before he finally ate. They’re now absolute best bros

Some people also assume that if they don’t get their dog as a puppy, it won’t be able to bond with them or be obedient. “Adopting a puppy is a lot of fun, but also a huge blank canvas one needs to put a lot of work into it,” Ivanka says. “Adopting an adult or senior dog has a lot of benefits, like the dog won’t go through the whole chewing on everything phase. It will [also] know super quickly that pottying is done only outside unless stressed or ill; there is no adult dog that likes to do their business where they live.”
A neighbor said that his ex owner lives on our street and had kicked him out years ago, and he stayed wandering around on our street for years, sleeping under cars. I only began to notice him this last year. I thought he belonged to someone because he had a collar on.
He started coming up to us when we’d take our dog for a walk and he’d be the most loving and friendly cat. When I started petting him I felt the dirt on his fur and that’s when I realized he wasn’t being taken care of. He started coming to our door for food and started sleeping on our doorstep. Within a few days we took him to the vet, got him a check up and vaccines (vet says he’s 5-6yrs), bought him toys, bowls for food and water, litter box, a soft bed (even though he sleeps on our bed), and we ripped the dirty collar off him, gave him a shower.
He loves to cuddle. He used to be so skinny, now he never misses a meal and comes to the kitchen and waits.
“And most important of all – you will already know the character of the dog and what to expect from it,” Ivanka continued. “Choosing a dog whose temperament fits the adopter’s energy and lifestyle is the most important part of the adoption for it to be a happy one for all sides. Adult and senior dogs have no problems emotionally bonding with their owner, just the opposite. They understand very well that they are given a chance in life, and there is no animal more grateful than the adopted one.”

Ivanka also says that families shouldn’t feel pressured into getting a dog just because their children asked for one. “Dogs are not toys and should never be treated as such,” she says. “Having your child grow up with an animal is simply amazing, as it teaches the kids compassion, responsibility, true friendship and so much more.”
“If an adult wants to adopt a dog so their kid grows up with it, they must know going into the whole process that no matter what, the dog will be the parents’ responsibility! Dogs are not gifts, and one should never gift a pet to someone, as usually these gifts end up in shelters or on the street,” Ivanka says. “Have in mind that a mature dog has the emotional and intellectual capacity of a 2.5 year old kid. Would you treat a child this age poorly?”
#19 Adopted These Two Brothers At 15 Years Old
They are brothers, lovers, and fighters all rolled in to one.
As far as what prospective adopters should know before bringing a dog home, Ivanka says, “Before everything, the dog is a responsibility,” she told Bored Panda. “An adopter should really consider if in their current lifestyle there is room for a pet. And if yes, what exactly having one will entail.”
“And once again, patience,” Ivanka added. “A lot of people think the dog will immediately love their new life the moment it steps into their new home. That the dog will immediately trust their adopter and will bond and start playing from the get go. Would you immediately trust a stranger?”

“If you have decided to adopt a dog, really think it through, and choose a dog with a temperament and character that will best fit your lifestyle in order to have a true best friend,” Ivanka says. “Have realistic expectations from your adopted dog, be patient with it, and show it that it can trust you 100%. Then, and only then, will you really have a true, joyful, obedient and forever four-legged best friend. And trust me, every single effort is so worth it!”

#32 Adopted Two “Undesirable Cats” At The Animal Shelter- A Very Scared Feral Kitten (Still Trying To Get A Good Face Pic) And The Fattest Cat In The Building
His name was Mercury but I call him Fred. He is only 5 months old and he’s huge I think. It’s only day one but I’ve never met a cat like Fred. He wants to be directly near me and I’ve never met a cat who didn’t eventually get sick of pets and want some space from you. I love Fred already. Also Fred is really vocal and I think that’s neat.
The agency we adopted him from thought he was part Catahoula Leopard dog but others have disagreed. He sounds like Chewbacca and also has the shrillest whine (scream) I’ve ever heard a dog make.
Having a pet, unfortunately, isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes it’s a true test of patience when they chew up furniture or decide to strike up a serenade in the middle of the night. In those moments, we suggest taking a deep breath and firing up a list of memes that just might be the best therapy for fur-induced chaos.
Today, we’ve prepared one featuring cats, with serious potential to turn your day right around. To find it, all you have to do is scroll down!
While you’re at it, make sure to check out a conversation with certified feline behavior consultant Heather Alvey and cat behavior consultant Molly Kelsey, who kindly agreed to talk about quirky cat behaviors and how to keep felines well-behaved and happy.
Cat behavior experts tell Bored Pandathat they’ve loved cats from a very young age. But what pushed them to turn their passion into a career was seeing felines and their owners in need of help.
“I’ve always loved cats. Growing up as an only child, my cats were my closest companions,” shared certified feline behavior consultant Heather Alvey.
“I initially worked in aviation, but after 9/11, the industry became unstable, and I experienced several layoffs. Before my final layoff, I had started developing a cat-only pet-sitting business as a side project.
When I lost my job, I decided to give it a try full-time. Fortunately, the business took off right away—cat owners appreciated finding a sitter who focused exclusively on cats. Within six months, I was earning enough to support myself, and within a year, I hired my first employee.”
After running her cat-sitting business for 14 years, Alvey discovered the field of feline behavior, and it immediately resonated with her.
“Over the years, I had seen cats surrendered or euthanized for behavioral issues—often after a baby arrived—and I knew those cats were simply reacting to stress or change in their environment. I just didn’t yet have the tools to help. That realization led me to pursue a certification in cat behavior and ultimately start my current business, Felidae Behavior Consulting.”
Similarly, cat behavior consultant Molly Kelsey also grew up with cats.
“My love of cats was fostered from a very young age, my parents were gifted two kittens at my baby shower, who I grew up alongside,” she shares.
“Before I became a feline behavior consultant, I was a veterinary nurse and came across countless cats and their owners who needed behavioral help, but at the time didn’t know where to turn to. I found there were not too many people out there with the skills to help these people and their cats, so I thought, Why not me?”
Having grown up with cats, these feline experts have probably seen every possible cat behavior. So we were curious to know about their favorite ones.
“I love all the quirky, individual preferences and behaviors that cats display,” Alvey says. “Each cat is truly unique, and those little peculiarities highlight just how distinct their personalities are. That individuality is one of my favorite things about working with them.”
Meanwhile, Kelsey adores when felines’ tails quiver like an animated exclamation point.
“Depending on the context, it can mean they are excited, greeting someone, focused, anticipatory, or frustrated. We also sometimes see this when they are urine marking, often for territorial purposes,” she explains.
These are just a few behaviors that are typical of cats. But there are many more that are unique to them that first-time cat owners might not be aware of.
“They are obligate carnivores and tend to drink a lot less water for their body size compared to other animals (which is why encouraging water intake is very important),” says Kelsey.
“People often tell me they had no idea that their cats require small, frequent meals vs. one or two big meals a day to mimic their wild counterparts. Most appear to come ‘pre-programmed’ to use a litter box, versus dogs, who require toilet training. Being both a prey and predator species, cats are risk-averse and can take some time to get used to changes that may seem small to others,” she listed further.
Something else that people should know before getting a cat is that they aren’t low-maintenance, Alvey notes.
“There are a lot of myths about cats, but one that really frustrates me is the idea that they’re aloof or low-maintenance. While some cats may be more independent, most form strong, loving bonds with their people. Compared to dogs, cats might seem low-maintenance because they don’t need walks, but they have their own species-specific needs. When those needs aren’t met, behavioral issues often follow.”
So to help owners keep their kitties happy, healthy, and well-behaved, experts kindly agreed to share their top tips. Kelsey suggests doing the following:
Adequately socialize them as kittens so they are better prepared for things like strangers of all types, car rides, and vet visits.
Be proactive with their healthcare, monitor their habits and behavior. These can provide clues if something is amiss.
Respect their personal space and boundaries, they are sentient beings and should be treated as such.
Stimulate their mind and body every day with enriching activities, a bored cat is a sad cat.
Alvey once more emphasizes the importance of regular veterinary visits and enrichment for cats.
“Cats are experts at hiding pain or illness, so you might not realize anything is wrong until they’re very sick. On the emotional side, enrichment is non-negotiable. Think about all your cat’s senses and look for ways to give them new and interesting experiences. I always say, ‘A busy, tired cat is a well-behaved cat.'”

Due to Corona, we cannot travel how and whenever we want. Many suffer from wanderlust and that’s why I thought this is exactly the right time to publish this post. With these photos of my two lovely dogs, I want to take you on a little adventure, where you can start to dream and where you can forget the recent crazy time.

I really hope these photos will make you smile and that you enjoy this collection of some of our favorite moments.
This is Quoi (named after a SeQUOIa tree), who made his debut to the social world on Instagram in March of 2020 under the user name @huskyquoi, and yes, I know he is technically not fully brown—he has a little white spot on his chest—but still, how many huskies have you seen that look like him? And yes, he is 100% Siberian Husky and registered with the AKC. Many people think he is part wolf, and though he may pose like a wolf for photos, he is very much a pampered pup! Quoi’s full name is SeQuoi Tenko (Tenko in Japanese means Heavily Fox). He is currently traveling around the lower 48 of the United States with me, his mum, as we search for a new state to call home!
If you decided to click on this post, there’s a good chance you’re an animal lover. We certainly are – discovering new wildlife content is one of our favorite things, and sharing it with you, dear pandas, is even better.
This time, thanks to the Instagram page ‘121clicks,’ we’re thrilled to showcase some of the wholesome – and sometimes downright hilarious – animal moments they’ve shared. Without keeping you waiting any longer, scroll down and enjoy our selection of delightful images.
This gift guide is for the one family member who contributes absolutely nothing to the household finances, sheds on every available surface, and still acts like they own the place. That’s right, the pet. They have no concept of capitalism or the Gregorian calendar, and they would be infinitely more thrilled with the box than the gift that comes inside it.
But that is not the point. The point is that they are the true main character of the household, and the ritual of spoiling them is a sacred, non-negotiable tradition. We have found the gifts that are worthy of their magnificent, and deeply judgmental, presence.
Review: “We bought this toy to try and wear out our new kitten and keep him from getting bored and attacking our old cat. What we did not expect was the new kitten AND the dog playing together with the fun red dot!!! It tires them BOTH out and we have peace in our house again!” – Bethanystar
Review: “These are really thick and well made. Cute pattern. Thick enough that they don’t look super skinny on my big dogs and actually do a good job reining them in on a walk. Not sure how the large gold accents will hold up but they are cute for the price! (Dogs pictured is 130 lbs and and 100 lbs. bought both XL size.” – Amazon Customer
Promising review: “This kit is great and includes everything you need, so you don’t have to look for any rolling pins or anything! The clay is air-drying. No mixing or baking needed. So that part is awesome. It wasn’t messy at all! I also read some other kits that stick to the paw. This clay doesn’t stick at all, which made my dogs so happy! The consistency is more like a moldable plastic or super-light feeling Play Doh. The BEST thing about this kit is that I could put names on the ornament with the stencil! I have a few dogs, so without it, it would just be a blur of paws.” — Nellie
Review: “My cats love it! Good quality and easy to modify. I used 3 sides and put against the exterior wall so cats have access to kitchen window. They go out day and night to watch activity in the back yard.” – Lisa C.
Promising review: “Love love love!!! These pajamas feel like super-soft fleece but are NOT so thick that you overheat easily. The dog size XL fits both of our big labs (one 75 lbs., the other a super tall but skinny 61 lb.). Made for the cutest Christmas card photo! Definitely recommend!” — Alyssa
Review: “Great dog puzzle. My little one (dog) has a love and hate for it. Loves it cause she gets snacks, hates it cause she has to work for it. Simple gets the job done. Overall great purchase!” – Denise
#7 The Tiny, Adorable Apex Predator Living In Your House Can Now Hone Its Hunting Skills On Something Other Than Your Unsuspecting Ankles With This Fluttering Interactive Cat Toy
Review: “I have 9 cats and constantly buying new and innovative toys for them. This is by far the best yet. They have not stopped playing with it for 3 hrs and because it goes in circles they each get a turn to bat at and catch the butterfly. That many paws and claws and it’s holding up great and it came with a second butterfly for when the 1st one gets worn out. It doesn’t even have to be on to catch their attention and play with it. I will definitely buy a 2nd one.” – ShopAholic
Promising review: “We buy houses like this for our cats whenever they come out around the holidays. The cats love sitting in them and scratching them to pieces. Most cardboard houses fly apart in no time. These were a little pricier than what we usually get, but they were also well-constructed. For cardboard, I don’t think you could get much more durable. The cats love it.” — Ccolo
Let’s call this what it really is: a tribute. A glorious, slightly unhinged offering to the tiny, furry god who lives in your house rent-free. Your cat is not going to send a thank you card. Your dog will not post a glowing review on social media. This is a one-way transaction of pure, unadulterated devotion. Every item on this list is a physical manifestation of your love, a silent apology for that one time you were five minutes late with their dinner.
Promising review: “This has become my dog’s new favorite, and is durable and is just fun. Everyone who has seen it in my dog’s mouth laughs and then asks where we bought it. They want to have it.” — MoGreen
Promising review: “This is adorable! I made homemade dog biscuits and was able to tuck two into each pocket for our two rescue dogs. By the third day, they figured it out and would stand in front of the calendar and wait for their treats.” — C.S. Wells
Promising review: “Love these snowman PJs for my 4-year-old, 21-pound Cavalier King Charles Spaniel! I ordered her a size large and they are a perfect fit! The fabric has a nice stretch to it, so these pajamas easy to put on and take off. She can move about comfortably and carries on as if she’s not wearing anything but the fur on her back! These PJs are made of a nice, soft material which is lightweight. The stitching is secure, so I think they will wash up nicely, but I will hang dry to prevent any shrinkage, just to be safe. My kiddos get such joy from seeing our sweet fur baby wearing pajamas! — Patricia
#12 Your Pet Can Now Immortalize Their Signature Without The Subsequent Chaos Of An Ink-Related Disaster Thanks To The Inkless Paw Print Kit
Review: “Really loved things that paw print kit. User friendly, but if your pet is squirmy, you may need to try it a few times. Nice keepsake to have or even frame. There was enough ink for my 4 cats and 2 dogs. For the price, this purchase was definitely worth buying.” – Destiny Almanzan
Review: “These treats come in a medium and a large size and I’ve written this review to show both, you can see the size difference in the final picture. Aside from that the review of the treats is the same for both sizes.” – Christopher M Bloomer
Review: “My guinea pig Chester loves to go on adventures with me inside this safe cozy backpack. And is not afraid. Love this item!❤️” – Meredith Bowers
Review: “My cat is a pretty picky girl. She has very few toys she likes & very rarely has any interest in catnip. I saw the reviews on this & decided to try it out. I couldn’t even get it on the wall before she started trying to rub on it! She’s been sitting in front of it for 10 minutes now since I put it up. I think it’s safe to say she’s a happy girl & definitely approves of this toy!” – Christy C.
Promising review: “Love this ornament! Bought one in 2017 and again in 2018. Perfect weight, great picture size (I used wallet size photo, cut to fit). Good price for a wonderful memory to enjoy year after year!” — Logan’smama
The beautiful thing about shopping for your pet is that there are no wrong answers, only more opportunities for them to be a glorious little weirdo. They might ignore the state-of-the-art, motion-activated laser and become completely obsessed with the crinkly paper it was wrapped in. And that’s okay. You’re buying a front-row ticket to the most chaotic, unpredictable, and ultimately heartwarming show on earth: your pet’s brain. Now, on to the next act.
Promising review: “I got the medium red for my cat, who is between 12-15 pounds. It fits very well and he actually seems to enjoy it, as it keeps him warm when there’s a chill. The design is lovely and the sight of my cat in a sweater that he likes gives me joy in these strange and sometimes difficult times. So, very much recommended! The front of the sweater is open for two legs at once, and there is a small hole on the top for a leash.” — Elkenien

Review: “My 8 month old pup really enjoyed this smart ball. Kept him busy for 2 hrs+. He really enjoyed this ball. He was trying to figure out how it was moving on ots own. The protective cover is a plus. 2 different mode, red which is faster and blue which a much calmer movement. My pup prefers the red. I would recommend to others. My baby slept like a baby from all the exercise he got from chasing this awesome ball.” – macattack02

Promising review: “A lot of the time, our birdies get pretty shy when you put a new toy in the cage. Not this time! Our blue boy Skye was playing with this tree right away. He loves climbing, hanging on the side of the tree, playing with the little baubles hanging off the side, and especially exploring the star with his beak. Such a cute Christmas tree! We started out just wanting to put something festive in the cage, and it’s turning into their favorite toy.” — J. Starns
