  "textContent": "The hilarious actor Vella Lovell is a put-upon director of an animal control precinct in the sitcom _Animal Control_ , a role that involves much more animal contact than one would expect for an office job. Turns out Vella, who also played the neighbor Heather on _Crazy Ex-Girlfriend_ , has a natural knack for helping animals calm down. This was evident in her long process of introducing a new kitten, Tequila, to her household, which already included a veteran resident cat, Marlo. Sleepyheads, the process took weeks of gentle, gradual exposure under highly controlled conditions, and we’re pleased to report that it was a complete success. Tequila and Marlo are, today, best buddies. We think you’ll be fast asleep before you ever get to that happy friendship moment but maybe you’ll sleep a little better knowing that it turned out so well. Catch Season 4 of _Animal Control_ on hulu and the previous three seasons on Netflix. Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you’d like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?
