Biscuit used to cry at the door of every kennel we tried. Here he runs in without looking back, and by lunch I get a photo of him napping like he owns the place.

The only groomer who gets Miso's curls right without stressing her out. She comes home soft, calm and smelling like lavender.

Leaving two cats for a week felt impossible. The quiet cat loft and the daily updates made it easy, and they barely noticed we were gone.
