Friday Catblogging
No pics of the old hussy cuz she's still on my list, so you'll have to settle for a cat story instead. One day when WildChild was first learning to use the potty, he'd gone into the bathroom to do his business....not noticing that the cat was hiding behind the bathroom window curtain as she likes to do. All of a sudden, I heard him scream, and he came running down the hallway with his pants half-down, crying that "Kitty hissed at me! Kitty scared me!"
So go hiss back at her, I told him.
"Huh?" he said, stopping dead in his tracks, tears forgotten.
"Kitty hissed at you, so you go hiss right back at her" I said.
He thought that was pretty funny, but he wasn't brave enough to return to the bathroom alone. So I went with him, and pulled the curtain back to reveal the cat, who hissed at him again right on cue.
"Now hiss back at her" I urged, and he did. The cat cowered, then jumped down and ran away. WildChild thought that was just the coolest thing.
And Kitty doesn't hide behind the bathroom curtain anymore when he's here either.
I think they both learn some important lessons.
