Ever since our son started crawling the cat has ensconced herself in every nook and cranny she could to avoid him. On the unusual occasion that she would venture out of her hidey holes our son would walk/crawl or maybe the word is meander towards her and proceed to get acquainted.....slapping, pulling or petting.
Needless to say she didn't like it. Him being a baby and all he wasn't aware of how close he was to getting scratched or bitten every time he approached her.
Now that my wife and son aren't here our cat, Gwendolyn wanders out of her hiding spots more and more often. Last time my wife went away for more than a few days Gwen would come into bed with me and nuzzle in my arm. She wants contact. She thinks she's a human being with all rights and priveldges and I kinda think she considers our son an intruder that we have givent preference over her.
Of course she would be right as far as I'm concerned but that doesn't mean I'm cuel to her. I'm just not a pet person. I hate having to clean up after them. And with Gwen approaching 15 years she's gonna need alot of attaention soon. I just hope she doesn't get ornery in her old age.
