There is a battle of wills going on in our home between the people & the critters. Granted, life has not been the best for Gizmo & Thomas since Lanie's arrival. As you can see, Thomas is a magnet for all things baby. His new favorite napping spots are the bouncy seat, Lanie's carseat & pink rocking chair... which would be fine if he didn't leave cat hair behind. Bleh. Our efforts to keep him out of the house are constantly thwarted by two little boys who can't resist his pitiful meows at the door. Either way, the adults around here are not having warm fuzzy feeling towards the family cat right now.
Fortunately for Gizmo, he is still loved by all except for Mom, because of his habit of barking just when I've spent thirty minutes trying to get the baby off to sleep and waking her up. Or for doing things like waiting until Lanie & I are able to snuggle up for a much needed nap to bring various squeaky toys to the foot of the bed to see if perhaps I might be in the mood for some playtime instead. I'm not. At that point I am only in the mood for acts of animal cruelty. Don't be deceived by their cute appearance, they are not happy about having a baby around and have found some creative ways to let us know ;)
