Can you guess the animal’s person?
This is Tostito. Tostito is a 5 month old well-trained cat who can fetch and sit on command. He’s teething right now and sometimes likes to chew on metal chairs to help. He hates cat-carriers and therefore prefers being walked on a leash. He enjoys the comfort of warm jackets when it’s cold outside, especially if there are also people in there with him.
Answers can be shared with colleagues and guessed among the office. Last week’s wee kid (goat) is kinda/sorta Don’s.
