I'm SO excited about the illustrations for my book -- which were done by the wonderful Lili Chin @lilita_yaya! My book comes out in six weeks, but in the meantime, here's a sneak peek! And fun fact, this illustration is of my friend @DogSpies, her daughter and their cat Josh!

More on fetching cats!
1/6 Have you ever wondered if domestic cats can fetch and retrieve objects like dogs? ๐ค @DaveLeavens, @LRRenner and I were interested in how cats begin to fetch, where the agency is in this behaviour (owner or cat?) and what sorts of objects may be retrieved. #AnimBehav2023

Do you have a CLONED dog? Or maybe someone you know? @DogUmwelt's hoping to connect. Spread the word!
long-shot query: do any of my lovely followers know someone who has cloned a dog? (and can you put me in touch with them?)
