    Addicted to Vent

    My little Princess Leia is now 6 weeks old and she is constantly sitting, laying, or attacking our air vent. It is a floor vent but the slats are so narrow there is no way she can fall in it. We actually had to turn the A/C on for a couple of days but then had to go back to heat. Should I...
