Early one morning I was sitting out back on the porch and I heard a high
pitch screeching. As I am looking everywhere for this sound, and what is
making the sound, I see a small little squirrel baby poke it's head from
between my house and my roof... Now I am not the only one who heard and saw this
baby. There were two little sets of cat eyes standing beside me who were also
intrigued but for a very different reason than I was...
This is how we became pet squirrel owners. It was never intended for
Penelope to stay for long, however the more we bottle feed her and interacted with
her the more attached she became to us...
Every time she saw us, she would purr! That's right, squirrels do purr,
just like cats! They also play just like cats...

For those of you who have been following the Cat of the Day stories, you may remember the heartbreaking story about Little Raja... When Raja passed, I was heartbroken and vowed, "No more new cats." Well, wouldn't you know, I would eat those words...
One of our shipping experts, Rob, came in and said that a feral cat
around his house had just given birth to a kitten on his front porch, but the
mother had left and not returned. I immediately asked him to go get me the
kitten, knowing it was going to be cold and hungry and could not be left without
warmth and food for long...
Rob rushed off to get the kitten and, within what felt like the blink of an
eye, returned with the tiniest (about 4 inches), yet astonishingly vocal,
kitten I had ever met.
And this is what happened next...

Introducing Clifford, the freshest face on the Top Tropicals team at the
Garden Center and an honorary partner of the PeopleCats (or should we say, PeoplePaws). This
dynamo has been appointed as the chief of our Security Crew, much to everyone's surprise and delight.
Now, the story goes like this: Clifford strolled in from who-knows-where and, with the charm only a puppy can muster, looked
up at Chiane with those soulful eyes as if to say, "Hey, can I crash here?" Well, what else could
she do? She gave him a warm bath, and lo and behold, beneath all that stray dust, Clifford turned out to be
white!
Clifford is a little ball of sunshine. He's got a heart of gold and a zest for life that's absolutely contagious.
When it comes to shipping activities, he's the first one to volunteer. And the best part? Clifford is the epitome of punctuality. You can set your watch by him. He shows up
for work every day with his tail wagging and ready to conquer the world.
Clifford is not just our head of Security Crew; he's our daily dose of happiness and a reminder that sometimes, the best things in life simply wander in when you least expect them!

Our PeopleCats love roaming in the gardens. They often guide customers in our Garden Center, and their favorite isle is fruit trees! At this time of the year, Pineapples are ripening, and these fruit are always fun for both people and PeopleCats.
In this short video, Philemon and Scooby are discovering new tastes of Pineapple varieties.
