(And playing cars...)
One that appreciates Mamas...
One we can share food with..
One that let's us be affectionate, and reciprocates that love...
One that likes to play...
And one that can tell us when it's time to stop...
Things the Bean has said:
1. BDC (Before Dragon Cat)
Me: what are we going to call our new kitten?
TB: I don't know. I'll just read the tag.
2. BDC
TB: Mama, I don't want to call him Dragon Cat anymore.
Me: Why? I think it's a rad name!
TB: But I don't want him to fly away.
3. At the RSPCA
TB (to the adoption assistant): Will he fly away?
AA: What? Cats can't fly.
Me: No he's worried because..
TB: No, he's a dragon cat. Dragons fly!
AA: It's ok, he won't fly away.
TB pauses: Can we take him home now?
4. ADC
TB: Mama, I love Dragon Cat so much. Do you love him?
Me: Of course.
TB: He loves us. Is he staying here?
Me: Yup, he's in our family now.
TB: I love him, Mama.
Me: I know honey.
TB: He lives with us.
Me: He's your cat forever now.
TB: Good.
5. ADC
Me: Stop chasing the cat.
TB: Why?
Me: Because you'll frighten him and if he gets frightened of you he might run away when you want to play.
TB: But I love him.
6. ADC
Me: Don't squash his feet/pull his tail/pick him up like that/wake him up/lie on his tummy so hard/put cushions/your feet on him/chase him under the bed/table/behind the couch...
TB: But why?
Me: Because he has feelings/you'll hurt him/you'll scare him/he's asleep/he doesn't like it..
TB: But I love him, Mama... SO much!
