Cy, more commonly referred to at our house simply as ‘The Boy,’ has loved sinks, tubs and showers since he was a kitten and that is only one of the many unique qualities that I love about him. Surely he’ll grab that before he wanders away, right? Pretty boring, right? Not a chance. He doesn’t even care!

Jake lives in southern Florida, so he and his friends had to be interested in learning about these birds, which they saw everyday, right?
