Also I do the baby-voice at the start of the video. I literally can't turn it off. If there is an animal in touching distance it's like a switch that flips. I'm not going to apologize but I figured I'd warn you.

Also. Here are some pics of the capsule and kitty girl.

I attached it to the collar with a bread tie. Hopefully it stays on long enough for the owner to see it.

I'll keep y'all updated if you are curious if I hear back from the owner.

Yep.

And the more fluffy it is, the harder I go.

Apparently there is some research that shows baby-talk is universal. Every culture does it.

And it's likely a way to verbally signal safety. There is even some evidence that other animals do it.

It's kind of a fascinating topic.
