“For our furry friends”
🔵🟡🔵🔵
🔵🔵🔵🔵
Hi Strands fans. Nothing too taxing today. The theme of "For our furry friends" instantly made me think about the various things my cats enjoy, and that's what it proved to be (with dogs in the mix too, of course).
Indeed, it was the dog-friendly BONE that I found first, even before the spangram of PETSUPPLIES just underneath it. Those two combined to cordon off one for the cats and kittens: LITTER.
I then turned my attention to the lower right-hand side, where I found a group of three. COLLAR, followed by CATNIP below it and then BALL to virtually complete the half.
Two were left coiled around each other in the bottom left-hand corner. After a little bit of playing with the letters, I unravelled LASER (something I almost missed, because my cats have no interest in them). That left KIBBLE to complete the puzzle.
