How our cats tell us things

Between me not feeling well and James not feeling well, we’d both neglected his grooming. So when I went to comb him, I hit a knot.

British Airways will launch its new “Paws and Relax channel” on long haul flights this September. “We discovered some scientific research that proves watching images of cute animals can actually lower your heart rate and reduces stress levels,” says Inflight Entertainment Manager Richard…
