This year I was truly not ashamed of our entry! Tautumeitas did so well! They looked like some sort of fairies or nature deities, and the vocal harmonies were lovely too! I actually cheered for Finnish

Since Pūciņa now also is elderly (we think she is probably 14-15) she also has trouble jumping on her beloved surfaces. I bought these foam kitty stairs that make it easier for her. Maybe that could help
