Funny kitties

Just a quick check-in.

I've been alone with the Termite for the last few days while Daddy's out of town at a certification workshop and to see the Olympic trials.

In this time, the boy has discovered the cats in a big way. If they come close to him, he starts laughing hysterically. Which, in turn, makes me laugh. He also tries as best he can to pet the kitties. I am usually right there, holding his hand and coaching him to be gentle. The kitties are good sports and mostly tolerate it much further than I would've expected.

And then comes that inevitable moment when kitty purposely moves out of reach. Baby then gets upset! Whining for the kitty! Ah, my boy's an animal lover already.

I guess it's only fair that they put up with his petting...they do consistently tease and badger him by flicking their tails within grabbing range and then proudly sauntering away, just slowly enough that he starts to believe he can catch them. But they know better, for now.

What they don't know is that it's just a short matter of time before he starts really crawling. Then, you'd better look out, kitties!
