1.) The animals from Holly's home seem scary to Josh but are usually very friendly to outsiders. I think that Holly's house would be a cool place filled with pets and animals that were abandoned, but I would never live here since I could not take care of them and also hate the noises
2.) I think that the difference between Josh and Holly is that Holly is a lot more extroverted than Josh and really likes to communicate with everyone around her, while Josh usually just hangs out with his friends. I have the same thing in my family where I'm more to myself than my sibling.
3.) King needed to leave his cage because he had to shed his skin. The family decided to look for small holes and burrows to search for King as he will most likely be curled up underground, and King will be safe since no animal near this area would even try to threaten King.
