Thank you! They're adorable. And yes, Kizzu's begging pose does work most of the time. You can't see it, but generally his tail (which is a curled poof ball) will wag back and forth, very slowly and deliberately.  I wish I could get better photos of Anju, but I'm pretty sure she would turn invisible if she could. Cats are better for apartments, but there are smaller dogs that are fit for it. The problem is that the cooler looking dog breeds (like, not floofy toys or such) tend to be at least derivatives of working breeds, and have all the exercise requirements thereof. ...sorry, put on Dog Person Hat there for a moment.
