Andrew and his wife Leigh are giving her a good home. He had posted some pictures of the cat doors he made, and Callie’s followers wanted to know how they could do it too.

It’s an age of technological marvels and limitless means of expression. Advancing technology lets your most random thoughts be expressed in color and sound. I wasn’t born with it but I watched it grow. So why not get in on it, and maybe change a few minds?
