Of course, she also has many toys. And they're so smart! She has figured out just how to open the doors to find me when she wants something. And they're so cute, and pretty, and the feel of their fur is to soft, they're relaxing and amusing to watch, and so beautiful, they are perfection. I wish I had many. Plus, they're great pest control.
