I am a volunteer at Save A Pet in Grayslake, IL. I have been visiting and playing with Half Pint for the past 3 years. He is the cat sticking his head and paws out of the blue toy. I kept throwing his favorite ball inside of it, and he kept poking himself through the holes. That was a very fun night! I was laughing so hard, and asked another volunteer named Andi, who happened to have a camera with her, to catch him in the act.
