How Kittens are like Young Kids

 Meet Geordi. Our newest family member.

No, I am not a mother to young children yet- but I have worked with kids for a long time. Now that we have had a kitten in our house(now 12 weeks old), I am noticing several similarities, most of them I can account to having an 8 year old sister and what she has done the past 8 years.

     They want your attention whenever you begin to work on something. Computer work, kitchen work, cleaning, etc. I can't go anywhere in the house alone.

     They also are attracted to you reading. The rustling of a newspaper opening calls to them. The soft sound of the spine of a book that has just opened seems so loud when you are trying to get a few paragraphs in.

    After getting really hyper and playing crazily, they will just suddenly fall asleep where they are. 

   Of course, Geordi just has to know what it is we are sitting down to eat. He is always wanting to get into laps while we are at the table and will sit on the floor watching us take bites.



I know there are probably more similarities, but these are the once that come to mind in the past few days.
