Sometimes I think “everything I need to know I learned from my cats.” We should follow their example, and do what we do best: This picture is remarkable, but obviously not because they’re sleeping. They’re very good at that part. No, what’s truly amazing is that they’re doing it together. They’re on top of my [...]
