Arya points out that Mr. Serval is one suspicious cat. Notwithstanding his understandable fear of cats, Arya might have a point.

Gasp! Where did Mr. Serval go?!

Sounds like a great spot in San Francisco. I can see the bridge and hear the waves...

I can hardly wait to read the next chapter, Heidi and critters.

I enjoyed this story so much Heidi! Charming!

✨😻✨

I enjoyed their journey passing the Golden Gate Bridge. The first time I walked across the Golden Gate Bridge was when I was four years old in somewhat overwhelmed and terrified a bit and grabbing my Dad’s hand. 🌁🌉

Thank you, Charlotte! We are so happy to have you here with us at Critters. Your own travelogues are incredible and your comments and support here mean so much to us.:) I can relate to your childhood experience of crossing a suspension bridge. When I was 6, my dad took me on the pedestrian suspension bridge in Vancouver BC and I froze mid-span. He had to carry me back.

Really really REALLY enjoyed this story. I remember San Fran bridge very well and contributed much $ to its existence . Haha. My kitty kat is a genuine fraidy cat. If he hears me murmur the word “shit” he gies scurrying under the bed, his safe place. Haha. Bc following that word sometimes means “commotion” my son calls it. And kitty kat no like commotion. Like cleaning up a mess or something like that. And one look at the vacume cleaner even if not running yet send him under the bed, too.

Thank you, Noelle & Dolly! Please, thank your Hooman, too! We are so pleased that you luvluvluv the mystery series! Perhaps in the future, we can all get into an adventure, a critter mystery together in New Jersey! We could include a plot point about pumping gas which would generate a lot of conflict! Super fun! And then get lost in the PIne Barrens! Toe bean to toe bean!
