Tenderness: kids and animals

Our friends gave us this cat as a 4-week old 1.4 lb feral kitten that had been living in a dishwasher on the front porch of a home that was being renovated. Miss O was 3-years-old and pretended to read to her until she became comfortable with us. Mr. D has been talking to and trying to train her. Mostly he shakes the treats bag and she comes running.

I am a dog person but my kids have done a great job making Simone into a pretty fun cat.

  4. These images are so heartwarming. The one with the cat wrapped in a towel just kills me. It says a lot about your children’s calmness and care that the cat sits still like that. Way to go!

    1. Hee, hee. Well, I wasn’t so sure that would work out so I wrapped the kitten in the towel just in case the claws came out. Somehow it all worked and I got a picture – which to me represents the small victories we have to count as wins in parenting. 🙂

    1. She does have a lot of FLUFF!! I think when she was the 1.4 lb kitten, at least half of that weight had to be just fur. 🙂

      My daughter asked me if we could divorce the kitty so we could get a dog. 🙂 I assured her that the cat will adjust just fine to a puppy. Hopefully that all works out…
