Those critters! As always, love Poetry with Pets. I smiled when I read it just now, because sometimes family secrets are chock full of love! Sometimes the secrets aren't really secrets, but wonderful things hidden behind an invisible privacy fence. Have the best week, Heidi!

A cliff hanger! Will they survive?

The intricacies of this plot, and the suspense are captivating.

Excellent reveal in this chapter, Heidi! I like the inclusion of the cat door as well, haha. Looking forward to Chapter 16 and finding out who the Critter Crew is facing off against with the white-tipped tail. Great haiku!

Thank you, Neil! When I first started to develop the plotting of the white tipped tail adversary, you had your post with the black squirrel. Who knew! What goes on behind closed cat doors? Thank you very much for staying tuned for Ch 16!
