Pet That Cat!
Twelve-year-old Nigel Kidd loves cats—just as much as his big brother, Gideon Kidd of the viral Twitter account I’ve Pet That Dog, loves dogs! In 2020, Nigel created the popular I’ve Pet That Cat Instagram and Twitter accounts, where he shares heartwarming stories and adorable photos of people’s best feline friends. This week, Michelle Fern chats with Nigel and his mom, Rachel Braunigan, who have teamed up on Pet That Cat! A Handbook for Making Feline Friends, a fun and informative handbook all about cats.
