random fact: I have a weird obsession with Sharks that my cat also has, like the first thing I ordered for her when I found out I was getting her was a shark bed and it’s her most favorite thing. She kept trying to use my shark plushie as a huggie pillow, she’s the only one who’ll watch shark week with me and my dog my mom freaks out
