Misty Bear, the cat.

Misty is my brother's Russian Blue kitten. She's about 6 months old by now.

I praised her today for playing in her new pet carrier. I placed all her favorite toys in her carrier to encourage positive feelings towards the carrier. She stared at me wide-eyed for several seconds. At this point, I realized that I had probably never praised her before. She came over to be petted. Not sure if she realized that I wasn't calling her, but was praising her for being in the carrier. Either way, no harm done.

I also bought her a collar a couple days ago. She kept spinning around in circles trying to catch the bell on the collar. I cut the bell off. She's much better now.
