Kiwi and Clem are the forgotten ones. They knew it and we knew it the night we came home with Cole. And they've been strategizing on how to gain our attention back ever since that warm May night. Please tell me we are not the only new parents who've forgotten to feed the cats on several occasions, who have cats who fawn all over guests, no matter how much they despise or love cats. Please tell me that we are not neglectful cat owners but merely loving parents who dote on our baby so much that we sometimes forget we have cats.
Kiwi and Clem have felt so attention deprived that they have resorted to the following activities: jumping up on our laps whenever we sit down to dinner, pushing open the bathroom door whenever I am on the toilet, attempting to push open the bedroom door in the early morning hours and running up on the bed when the bedroom door is open hoping for some petting. They have also been giving us little nips when we do pet them. I am trying to make more of an effort as a result of their efforts, but it seems like whatever love I give them is not enough! They want more!
The one thing neither of them will tolerate is Cole's crying. Man when he belts it out those cats run for the hills!
