Here's some good news: when we harness trained our indoor cat so she could go on little walkies outside, it turns out we also trained her to wear Halloween costumes that are harness shaped.

Mouse's greatest fears are:

Emotionally devastated myself by thinking about how the cat probably thinks we don't love her because we are never trying to make biscuits out of her.
