Review That Cat!
Move over, Dogshaming — because here comes a Review of My Cat!

Did You Know There’s A Museum for Dogs?
Okay, it’s not just for dogs — but for all of our animal friends — and it’s called The National Museum of Animals & Society, located in Los Angeles, California. And I bet there free days are a real zoo!
Anyway, their current pooch-friendly exhibition is My Dog My Home: The Experience of Human-Animal Homelessness.
