    7 Things My Toddler and Cats Have in Common

    For any of you who may not be familiar, I have two rescue cats. Percy, a brown tabby who is somewhere around 3 years old and allergic to food. And Wink, a seven-year-old orange tabby with one eye and thumbs. We initially intended to get only one cat (Wink), but when I turned around after petting Wink, I found Percy curled up in Vivi's stroller purring as she tugged on his fur and pulled on his ears. Any cat who willingly put up with a baby? That was the (second) cat for us. Cats and toddlers have a lot in common -- one being I can't imagine my life without either of them. Here are 7 other things they have in common. - By Casey Mullins

      They love to stretch
      As chubby as Vivi is, she's surprisingly bendy. As far as cats? I can assure you I'd have far fewer back problems if I could stretch as well as them.
