DailyDirt: Caring For Our Pets

from the urls-we-dig-up dept

People with pets sometimes go a bit overboard when it comes to spoiling their animals.

    Cats are the worst. I remember reading an article that said they'll tune their "meow" to the same frequency of an infant's crying (if you have one) so that you'll pay attention to them.
