Before the boys arrived, our cat Goose ruled the roost. We had deep discussions about politics, shared salad greens and snuggled on the couch together. Those of you who know me have heard plenty of stories about Goose and her antics. She is a very clever cat and realized that her world was going to be turned upside down months before the boys were born. To show her anxiety over the impending doom, Goose paced the house and howled constantly.
Once the boys arrived and took over her territory, the pacing and howling continued. She also added a few tricks to her act. Stealing pacifiers and penny sized membranes for my pump from the drying rack were on the top of her naughty list. We would find the incriminating evidence floating in her water dish a day or two later.
As the months pass, Goose is becoming more and more curious. She often perches nearby and watches the action...
When she realizes we are watching she looks nonchalant...
Now that we are feeding the boys solids, she is glued to the stool and watching their every move. She will reach out her paw occasionally with the hope of sneaking a taste. Rice cereal is currently her favorite (she licked the spills up as soon as they hit the floor)...
P.S. We do have another cat named Finnegan. We love him very much. Finn is a little less active and a LOT larger. When the boys start crawling his lifestyle will dramatically change. For now, he can be found in the exact same spot most of the day...
P.P.S. Sleeping in the dryer is NOT allowed in our house. Goose added that trick to her naughty list last week.
