Life with cats...

For the most part, our cats seem disinterested in Milo. They are neither pleased nor annoyed by his presence. But as Milo gets a little stronger, a little bigger, and a little more assertive, I wonder how much they will put up with. Fortunately, I think we have the best cats for little kids; in terms of their fight or flight nature, they definitely go for flight. And even when they are cornered, or in this case try to take the "don't move and maybe he'll go away" technique, they are declawed and might nibble, but don't bite. The funny thing about this one is that Charlie just doesn't move; he's got plenty of opportunity to flee, I even encouraged him to do so, but he kept coming back. Glutton for punishment. The other thing that you probably can't see in this video is that Charlie is molting profusely. This is beyond mere shedding: when he finally did get off my lap, there was about as much fur there as was still on his being. I would feel bad for them, but like I said, they kind of encourage it!
