Petting 101
It’s tough being a baby. You have to learn and endless amount of things like walking, talking and making friends; heck, you even have to learn how to sleep. And just like all those other essential things, petting a cat is something that has to be learned over time.
I don’t think any child is born with the ability to pet an animal. Most first attempts seem to consist of a lot of grasping and tugging at the fur. Luckily, Hazel is pretty patient and also realizes that getting her fur or tail tugged on is still attention, so it can be tolerated.
I also have to mention that today is my wife, Meghan’s birthday! Meg is the best and happens to be the biggest CAAATS! fan on Earth, so it was fun posting this daughter-centric strip.
Happy Birthday Meghan! Many happy returns of the day =^.^=
Little Georgia is getting big! I love her little ponytail and Hazel’s reaction
Thanks so much! 🙂
Well happiest of birthdays to the lovely Meghan! Our youngest still hasn’t gotten the complete concept, less fur pulling at this pit though more petting that turns to smacking :/ thankfully both the dog and cat have gotten used to it 3 kids in
Thanks a lot, Tom; we really appreciate it! Yeah, I think animals are quite a bit better at adapting than we are. 🙂
My son sort of knows how to pet a cat, my daughter is too scared to get close enough
Aw, maybe she’ll warm up to them some day.
So sweet that Hazel is patient with little Georgia.
Happy Birthday to Meghan!!!.
Thanks a lot! 🙂
