Creature Corner: January 6, 2022

Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” the ARF cats discussed the latest at ARF.
Phil: Whew. The holidays are behind us.
Whiskers: And we still have the cold, probably snowy, winter ahead.
Don: That could work in our favor. It’s cold out, but a warm cat in a human’s lap is the perfect cure.
Whiskers: That’s right! And when people are forced to stay at home during inclement weather, we would be great company.
Don: And wouldn’t Claire or Cookie be great companions as well?
Claire: (bounding into the room) You bet we would!
Cookie: (following Claire) And not only would we snuggle for warmth, we would play and entertain.
Claire: And because I truly love snow so much, any human could throw snowballs for me, and I’ll retrieve them until the sun goes down.
Lulu: Do you like the snow that much, Claire?
Claire: Oh yes! And I really like being outdoors, so a family with a fenced yard would be just perfect, especially when it’s snowing!
Lulu: Cookie, I understand that you’re becoming known as a “velcro dog.”
Cookie: I admit that is true. I just love people and other dogs. My foster said I follow her all around the house.
Harley: Then any of us would make great buddies for the winter.
Phil: And beyond!
Harley: Then if that isn’t a good enough reason for people to flood in to meet us, I don’t know what is!
Pepper: Open the doors, and let ‘em in!
Lulu: That we will do!
