Emma and Emma
Marie wrote in her blog about Victor and their cat, who is named Emma. When we went over there the other day (to swap babysitting so each couple could see Pirates of the Caribbean), she told me how good Emma the Cat is with babies but I couldn't believe it til I saw for myself. The cat was the one who made the overture. These pictures are the warm-up:
Emma the Cat is one of those six-toed Hemingway cats. Some of these pictures make her fur look black, but it's gray. She never made any noise but purring, and never even jumped at E's squeals.
Here's the actual laying on of hands:
The amazing one we didn't manage to get on camera was Emma the Girl burying her face in Emma the Cat's side, as well as grabbing two tight handfuls of fur at the same time. I wasn't comfortable letting that go on for longer than it took to reach and pull the baby away, but I have to admit it was funny! The cat just lay there.
Do you think Ellie May or Kaylee (our cats) will ever reach this level of acceptance???

I'm glad to see that Emma the cat can handle the laying of baby hands.
Sorry that the crud is at your house too. Summer uck is the worse!
I wish there was a fogger (like for fleas) that you could set offand it would clean your house!
It tells a nice story, but the pictures are out of order. The one at the bottom, where Emma is grabbing the cat's tail happened 1st, right after we got to Marie's house. (Notice the carpet color, compared to the other 3)
Several hours later after we had seen the movie and were watching Victor while his parents went to the movie, Emma the cat showed up again and Emma the baby went after her. (the first 3 pics) She actually tried to eat her fur, but that picture was way out of focus.
You didn't think I'd be making some sort of mushy comment did you?
Thank you for your comment David - I'm just glad you're reading. Everyone can tell which of us "goes for the story" and which of us sticks to "just the facts"!
