Penelope is the on-camera talent. She has more views on YouTube than the rest of the household combined, mostly because she will sit still for a whole take and then ruin it with a dramatic yawn. It works. People love it.

She is also the reason I started paying attention to hydration. She ignored every water bowl in the house until the Catit Flower fountain showed up, and now she camps at it like it is a TV.
