Kee-Cat!!

From the time Eli was three months old until he was 6 six months old, he stayed with Mammy and Uncle Clare during the day while Josh and I worked. Mammy and Uncle Clare are big time cat lovers. They have three inside cats and I think that's where Eli developed his love of kitty cats. Not only does Eli get his fill of cats at Mammy's house, but when we go visit my parents, they also have four inside cats. Between the two houses, Eli definitely has had time to develop a love of kitty cats. It's so cute because Eli's entire face will light up from end to end when he sees a "kee-cat" (kitty cat) and he'll do his best to chase it so he can play with their tail. What's even cuter is when the kitty cat disappears because it's tired of being chased by a certain 17 month old and Eli signs "more" and says "more kee-cat!" Precious!

The other day, our neighbor, Sabrina, and her son, John-Garrett, brought over two "kee-cats" to play with Eli. They were still itty bitty, but that didn't deter Eli at all. He was SO EXCITED to those kitty cats! He loved picking them up and carrying them around. It made me really nervous (not for him, but for that poor kitten!), but Sabrina reassured me that it was fine. Good to know!

I'm so glad Eli already has such a love for animals. I don't think he'll ever have a "kee-cat" of his own since his daddy is allergic to them, but I'm glad that he can love and appreciate them. He'll just have to have fun loving on Grammy and Mammy's kitty cats for now :)
