    July 8, 2022 /

    If there's one thing we can agree on, it's that cats are superior in basically every way, right? I'm a cat person – and I'm guessing you're the same since you're reading this – and I love meeting cats, petting cats, snuggling with cats, you name it.

    Teens are such a joy, aren't they? Maybe you're lucky and have raised teenage humans who are social, interested, and fun to travel with... or maybe you're the other 99.99% of parents who – despite their best efforts – have now encountered the phase of raising children where it's like pulling teeth to get them to look up from their phones and engage with the world around them. Either way, no judgment: just think back on your own time as a teen and it's easy to see why it's tough to be that age in today's world...
