I remember once Smokey came in from being outside for a little and I noticed she had something on her fur and it was all matted.

Do you like making use of VPN?
I use a VPN if I feel I need to but I wouldn't say that I go crazy when it comes to using a VPN. I am always cautious about the sites I go on and will always turn back if I get any kind of warning that the site is not safe unless I know the person who owns the site.
