Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2004First Contact (with Mithu)
My baby Catherine is now almost 5 months old. Just recently she has started showing obvious interest in the cats. Tonight I was holding her and DH was showing her our wall calendar, which has a different Maine Coon cat for each month. Catherine gazed eagerly at the calendar, with a big smile on her face. Just then, Mithu wandered into the kitchen. (We have long suspected that Mithu has some Maine Coon in his background.) DH picked him up and brought him close to Catherine, she reached out and patted him! She actually stroked him a few times, and didn't grab his fur. Then I helped her pat him some more, and she was delighted by the whole experience. Mithu got some treats for being such a good boy. I've given her all sorts of cat related toys and clothes, her favorite toy is a stuffed cat that vibrates (purrs) when you pull its tail. We'll see if she meows before she speaks. -Caroline S. > My baby Catherine is now almost 5 months old. Just recently she has started > showing obvious interest in the cats.

Mithu was a good boy, and Catherine was a good girl not to grab his fur (and not to pull his tail to make him purr, like her toy ;). She will be a good cat slave. Scritches for both. ;o)  SignatureMarina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki >My baby Catherine is now almost 5 months old.

Vicki's was "weshup" Short for "Willie shut up" the most common phrase in our home. We lived in a trailer park and our poodle got excited whenever anyone walked or drove past. That was shortly followed by "shoot" which she learned from her babysitter. A very nice Christian lady who was appalled when Vicki learned it from her - but mispronounced it.

When you ask my friend's son what Zoe (the laid back cat) says he goes "meow". When you ask him what Ginger (high strung cat) says, he says: "sssssssssss".

If you asked him what the nanny said, he replied "Grrrrrrrrr!". LOL~! Stacey (who rarely growled at the children!) Awww, what a sweet story! Thank your so much!

You're very fortunate, Catherine is growing up to be a good slave.:-) SignatureAdrian A house is not a home, without a cat. > My baby Catherine is now almost 5 months old.

Pam S. who bets Catherine's first word will be "Mew." > AAAAWWWWWW, Caroline. Catherine sounds like a perfect future cat > slave. Mithu will be a purrfect Catherine sitter as she gets older. My son's first word was kitty - he started saying it when he was about 7 months old. He still loves cats! Patti > My son's first word was kitty - he started saying it when he was about > 7 months old. He still loves cats! One of my early words was "kicky" - which became the name of our cat. :) Joyce > > AAAAWWWWWW, Caroline. Catherine sounds like a perfect future cat > > slave.

How old is your son, now? When my nephew, Eric, was little, my sister had three cats. His first word was "Meew." He sounded exactly like Callie, her momma cat, who'd appointed herself Eric sitter.

Hi Pam, My son is 26 now, and has his own clowder of cats! <G> He is particularly fond of black and white cats - I think it is because his first kitty, Princess, was b/w. She used to climb in his crib and sleep with him. He would wake up and start giggling because she was rubbing against his face and was purring as loud as she could. <G> Patti > My son is 26 now, and has his own clowder of cats! <G> He is > particularly fond of black and white cats - I think it is because his > first kitty, Princess, was b/w.

I'm sure she's still feeding a bunch of outside cats as well. Eric is now 25, and was going to Pacific Lutheran University. I don't know what career path he's following, as we've lost touch lately.

I can hardly wait till she is old enough to join rpca! CATherine > My baby Catherine is now almost 5 months old. Just recently she has started > showing obvious interest in the cats. I had to smile at Xmas, when Catherine met HRFL Tiger & Robbie. Robbie sniffed near the baby then ran away with a real "Eeeeewwwwww! What *IS* that???" look on his face. Tiger wouldn't even approach her! I guess my cats aren't into the human baby thing! ;0) Helen M |
