I love being away from everything, surrounded by the beauty of nature, sleeping in a tent, and going back home refreshed with renewed energy.

Other times it is your run of the mill hungry catto looking to use you for a quick meal and maybe a cuddle if you are lucky. But then there are those times when the meow comes from an actual catto in need. And in that moment will you answer their call like these pawrents did? Or will you let it go to voicemail?
