So over the weekend we had some interesting visitors.

On Saturday morning two kiddos (ages 8 and 4) came to stay with us, I was told they were family members of my peeps but for all I knew they were aliens! I did not know what to do. I have great social skills and am a very friendly and outgoing cat, I like to check out new people at first but soon I want to be their bff. However I have never really been around small children (my youngest peep is 12), so I don't know what to think of them. Back in October they stayed with us for a night but I mostly just watched from a bit away. This time I checked them out more, I was always very nice, and would sometimes let them pet me and if they wanted to play I was all about it! But when they tried to pick me (which the peeps told them not too) or if they reached for me too fast I got super freaked out and ran off. They stayed till Sunday night so I mostly made myself scarce trying to get away from all the activity and new-ness. Thought something I did love: the young kiddo has to use a booster seat at the dinner table and it fits right into the chair and I thought it was the best thing ever! The dinning room table chairs are a favorite spot of mine (every night at dinner I sit in one between my two peeps hoping to get some extra table scraps)and with this comfy add I spent hours laying on it. I was pretty sad when they took it away.

Now that the little peeps are away I kind of miss them. They were crazy and sort of scary but they were interesting and sort of fun. Maybe by the next time they come over I will be a lot more open to them.

Invaders of any kind scare, me, too. Pipo will observe from a safe distance.
We have nevfur seen kidlets, OMC What would we do then??
They drop tidbits of tasty things we have heard...but dog-guy would likely get those befur we even knew they were there!

Our furbears had to grow up alongside of wee ones...

And Groucho was not nice to a little girl one time, he hissed and smacky pawed her, because...she tried to pick him up...oops!

Yes, best to make sure that you will be safe around them, though I think you will...they sound like nice kidlets!

I am most assuredly NOT a kiddo fan. You were very brave to even let them pet you. One of my bro-furs (Pistachio) does not mind kiddos, and you know what they did to him? They petted his fur backwards! -and he put up with it! -ugh!
