Clea’s still loves watching the smart litter box clean itself.

I imagine this is similar to how my grandfather felt, having grown up with an outhouse, when he first saw a flush toilet .

This #caturday Clea celebrates 2 months since we adopted her.

She is the only cat we’ve had unbothered by thunderstorms, perhaps because she was living outdoors before we got her and she’s safe and dry inside now.
