My grandson and my cat

On Easter Day when we finished our dinner, my grandson asked to play with my cats. I told him " Turn them on the porch. Play all you want with Muffin, don't pick up Mattie. If you come inside bleeding, I won't feel sorry for you because I told you don't pick her up." Later I watched him out the storm door. He was sitting on the sofa and had stacked some pillows up high.and put Muffin on top. So they were eye level with each other. Now grandson is the cutest 9 year old little red head you ever saw. Well cat and boy were eye to eye carrying on a conversation. His little face was very serious and he was telling Muffin something I couldn't hear. Muffin was paying attention to every word and loving the attention. From time to time cat would have to lay down and roll all around because he was enjoying it so much. But then he would get back on his pillow perch, stare at boy and wait for some more conversation. It really made me smile as it reminded me just how simple things can be in the life of a boy and a cat. Just wanted to share this story.

Aww, that is such a cute story. Thanks for sharing.

That is adorable. I wonder what little secrets he was telling Muffin...

Totally adorable!
 

What a cute story! The bond between children and pets can be pretty amazing.

That's so sweet! (I didn't know that you had a Muffin, too!  Gotta love the Muffin kids!)

Our grandchildren have a dog, Maggie, but they're not really used to being around cats. As our grandson got older and they would visit, he'd come over to me and ask me if he could pick up one of the cats. I always said yes, but he had to be kind to them as cats can't take the rough-housing that a lab can. He was always very gentle with our cats when petting them and paying any attention to them. Our granddaughter is the same way; they know that the cats will love their attention, but they have to treat them gently.

I have a picture of Caleb, our grandson, (from last year) lying on his belly on the sofa with BooBoo flopped down on Caleb's legs. Caleb fell asleep and so did Boo and they were there for quite awhile.

Sweet story.

One day on my walk I saw two young boys playing with their cat. They had named him "Agent Panda" and were playing hide and seek. Agent Panda seemed pretty good at finding them! It gave me a big smile seeing that.

Aww, what a sweet memory to have!

Aw how cute!!

That's adorable! :heart2:
