We have a kitten. He is 7 weeks old. I was reluctant to get one but my kids begged and pleaded and, after weighing up the options, and against my gut instinct, I decided to let them have one. This of course was based on a few conditions, like they clear its litter tray, feed him etc. So far they have kept their side of the bargain, however, this is at the detriment of their chores and other daily activities. I guess they will adjust in time. I thought that having the cat would mean that there is more love and less stress in the house. WRONG! They argue (dare I say it) like cat and dog! I'm going to clean him out", "No I am." I'm feeding him today." "No you're not it's my turn!" It's bloody worse than ever. I thought it may help to teach them responsibility - wrong again! He is a very loving cat but boy is he boisterous. I'd forgotten just how much hard work cats can be. He is just like Simon's Cat - http://www.youtube.com/user/simonscat?blend=1&ob=4 I have scratches all over my hands, my socks all have holes in and my living room looks like we had Al Qaeda round for tea.
Today he is mostly practising cartwheels.......down the stairs.
