Little Big Men

  In a way all men are just little children that have to do grown up things every now and then. I know I prefer to shirk responsibility when I can and just do fun stuff. Our biggest and oldest cat Boots is like that too. He pretends to act all aloof and mature but when he wants something or a fuss from my wife he becomes a little kid. He will walk up to my wife and meow at her. He will sit there and keep doing this until she picks him up. If she then holds him like a small kid (a 19lb furry kid) he will then lay down on her and purr his head off in happiness. He is such a mummy's boy when he wants attention. Then when he has had enough and wants to pretend to be all grown up again he will jump down and wander off as if nothing had happened. Don't worry Boots, your secret is safe with us.
