Mercat meets a Meerkat @user_google_961350 suggested the two meet so here we go! Meerkats live i the desert so I think this is happening in the purrmaid's dream It's not perfect -- what with that splash underwater? but it's tons better than my 2 attempts afterwards. So I thought I'd share it iwth you all as is.

Meerkats show off more energy than mere cats, for sure--except those five minutes every evening when your cat decides that it's time for the daily parkour break. (Mine usually goes at it about 7-8 pm.)

laughing. Yeah, cats are crepuscular, most active at dawn and dusk. I love that word. I only learned it last year
