Parenting after 35

Kittah

Matt is obsessed with cats. Our neighbor has two outdoor cats and Matt can see them from the kitchen window.  He is constantly asking to be picked up to look out the window. 90% they are not back there so it is sort of a PITA.

Our friends got two kittens (kittahs) and we have taken Matt a couple of times to see them but he isn't that interested in them up close.  

So this weekend I got Matt a stuffed cat and he LOVES it. He really hasn't been attached to anything (binky, blankets etc) but this just might be the one thing that is a constant. 

He asked for it last night before going to bed.  Now when he asks to be picked up to look out the window I just ask him where his kitten is and he runs to get it!

  • Michael's first word was tiddy (kitty.)  He is all about Jack, our extom, but Jack is not all about him.

  • Cute! We have a stuffed kitty(meow) as well and Mikey loves it. He also loves following our actual cat around, grabbing her tail and trying to give her hugs.
  • A cat at a plant nursery bit Jace this weekend on the finger (drew blood, too). Jace couldn't care less. He just wanted to keep petting it. :)

    And yeah, our cat accidentally scratched Mikey's arm when he had her trapped and she was trying to escape and he didn't even blink. Well, he blinked, but he didn't cry.

    I would love to get a cat but DH is extremely allergic to them. He can't be in the same room with cats unless he washes his face and hands afterwards - even if he didn't touch them. The sad part is we both love cats would would have one if possible.

  • I think cats are less intimidating than dogs.  Dogs kind of get in your face (when you're that low to the ground) and can be a little bit scary if they're high energy.

    Charles LOVES our old kitty cat, and she sorta likes him, but will disappear fast when he gets too rough.  He likes to chase her around and sit on her, which isn't good since she's pretty arthritic and in not-so-great health.

    He also has a stuffed tiger that he LOVES LOVES LOVES.   Drags him around by his tail all the time.

  • That's so cute, and also funny! Margaux was reared with cats, and she is obsessed with dogs, but not so much up close!  Maybe we should find her a puppy toy!

  • Adorable - so cute!  What is it about cats?  S's first word was gato (Spanish for cat) and she loves to chase them around the house.  Good thing both of them are so patient with her.
