Don't be too hard on the tortoise and the cat mate. We're all exhausted these days and that includes our pets. Bobby was a big fan of that 'Fatboy Slim' fella and I used to just sing to him 'Right about now, the funk soul Bobby; check him out now, the funk soul Bobby' and that used to make him wag his tail a lot and really perk up if he was in a bit of a grumpy mood, when he was getting older. I'd try singing to the tortoise if I were you but I can't really think of an appropriate song for a tortoise.
