chad is very much not a cat person. people that aren't cat people are not like those that aren't dog people. i've found that people feel very much stronger about cats than they do dogs. i honestly don't really remember making my desires about owning a cat that obvious, but i guess i inadvertently did somehow. there were two things i wished for growing up when i saw the first star in the sky at night. a cat and a sister. so i wouldn't be surprised if subconsciously it worked its way into the conversation more often than not...
not only was marvin a childhood dream come true, but he turned out to be such a unique cat. i've raved about him before and i'll save everyone a repeat of that torture. but he really is a great cat that has taken to caitlin, a lot. now that she has honed her motor skills a little bit, and they can occupy the same space without poking his eyes out, they have found a really happy relationship. this week hasn't been one of my better ones-i think that's been obvious. and this big drawn out introduction i'm typing is to say that today was one of those mornings that i was thrilled beyond imagination to have a cat that enjoyed interacting with our little girl. i know i've been failing a little bit when it comes to always showing cate the happy side of mom, and watching these two play with a cardboard box really took a lot of the load off of my shoulders. it's already one of the greatest things to watch caitlin happily interact with someone or something other than myself. and these two playing with the string, getting in and out of the box, tackling each other...was like warm honey on a sore throat.
thanks marvin, remind me to get you some cat nip soon! :)
