(2:20) kitty whisperer: i went to check up on him before i headed to lunch

(2:20) kitty whisperer: and he's gone

Notes:

i promise there is a plot

for reference, they all work at a zoo called altea’s worldwide animal exhibit and theme park. the mammals are separated by continent of origin, and the birds, reptiles, and aquatic life are in separate areas of the park. the big cats have their own area, called the cat house, and all of the polar (arctic and antarctic) life is in one area, which is commonly called the igloo. lance works in the aquarium, keith works in the cat house, pidge works in the igloo, allura works in the australia area, matt works in the aviary, hunk works in africa, shiro works in north america, and coran is the overall director of the zoo. other characters will be introduced, but those are the main important ones.

please please comment!!! i want to know what i'm doing right and what i can improve on. also the title is not concrete and will probably change so i am open to suggestions.
