This is too funny. What is it about babies and cats? MJ will chase our cats around all day long. Poor Eleanor is the only one who can't handle it and, of course, she is the object of the most attention. The two boys are pretty fat and lazy so they'll sit there and take the abuse for a little while before getting fed up and moving on. MJ likes my mother's dogs but will just push them around when they're in her way. She doesn't seek them out.

 

I think this is cats' penance for going around the one person in the room who can't stand (or is afraid of) cats. Why do they do that?

 

At this very moment I'm sitting with a cat on my chest trying desperately to teach my daughter to STOP PULLING THE CAT'S TAIL. It's going well. But i know in three seconds she'll slap the cat on the head.

The dogs? Eh, they're big and slobbery. But they're great for playing ball with.

 

I love goldens! I think they're so sweet - sort of the epitome or essence of "dog".

But I'm really a cat person. I'd be there with your boys chasing the cats.

 

Hi, Alex!

I guess Juliette was just too formal a name, Boo must have seemed more fitting! :)

I think it's great that your boys are being exposed to both cats and dogs, it's good for them. I always feel bad for kids that are frightened by them because they've never been with an animal before.

Hey, if you get a minute, stop over by my blog, I have something for you! Take care!
