A Boy and His... Cat?

Most people instantly assume that dogs are the natural companion for boys, but not my boy. He adores our cats. From the time he was a baby he would squeal and laugh and love on our older cats, Oreo & Airy. He prayed diligently every night for Airy after she died when he was almost 4--asking God to please give her some love and a little bit of shrimp to help her be happy. When Oreo died this past summer, he took it harder than my girls. And when they began asking for new kitties, he would comment that he just wasn't ready yet. Tonight as I peeked in on him, this is the scene that greeted my eyes:

I think its all more about a living, soft, furry pet to snuggle with, who needs you, more than the kind of pet. You figure Kevin, Paul Andrew, Rob and Clay all love cats, too. Since Ryan has never had a puppy/dog pet, he doesn't know the difference. This is a very cute photo; sure you'll have many more over the years. Love, Mom
