While visiting my parents’ house for Thanksgiving this year, their pets were constantly trailed by a very eager friend. Dogs love children; they relate to children. Cats, on the other hand, understand the chaotic nature of children and seem to generally steer clear of the certain torture they would undergo by associating with something below their sophistication level. Don’t get me wrong, I love cats, I just understand their need for safe boundaries. My parents’ cat Little Bit is no exception to this generalization but was brave enough to hang around within eyeshot of Abigail, much to Abigail’s delight and constant entertainment. Not knowing what to do with a cat, it seems as though Abigail settled on the main goal of trying to feed her. Here is Little Bit with an offering of play food cupcake:
Notice also the jar of peanuts behind Little Bit. When the play cupcake wasn’t eaten, Abigail decided that cats probably preferred to eat peanuts. One evening we were sitting down to dinner and noticed that Little Bit was sleeping in one of the chairs with about 10 peanuts laid out in front of her. Nice try Abigail!
