    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 spook easily
      Both cats and toddlers KNOW when they're doing something they're not supposed to be doing. We prefer to wait until the cat's face is just close enough to to a plate of food or our water glass before making a loud hiss noise causing them to jump and run for the hills (pantry.) We do the same thing with Vivi, she gets so close to the power button on the DVD player before letting out a sharp "NO" or "HEY" she too ... more

We do the same thing with Vivi, she gets so close to the power button on the DVD player before letting out a sharp "NO" or "HEY" she too jumps, but instead of running turns and grins at as like "Ha! Did you think I was gonna touch that? Pfft. I know better! LOOK HOW CUTE I AM!"
