I sent in a question, like, what, 8 years ago? I am 12 now so I was like, 4. And wanna know something crazy? I STILL REMEMBER MY QUESTION. YES, I do. It was “Why do cats’ eyes glow in the dark?” I STILL wonder that. And ever since then I just haven’t liked it that much. Sorry just not the show 4 me.
