Might be the cutest video ever. Might even be video of my grandkids. But, even that is not enough to get me to grace the idiots at CNN with my presence.

Blurry screen alert!

Poor baby was working so hard to drag her little body across the floor, but now she’s rolling! God bless those kids.

They need to put bigger tires on it so when she hops up onto the bed at 3AM to “march” on you, she can go “off roading” over the covers.

Such an active and happy cat! She deserves this new chance that she has for a normal life.

Thank you for the ping, my friend.
