After Michael and I got Peake and Watson, Sweetness and Light were desperate to meet the cats. So I took them to visit.
Since then, it’s become something we do every few weeks. We get on the metro, take it from College Park to Silver Spring, then take the Bus (the girls love riding on the high seats in the back) to the closest stop. From there, we walk to my apartment.
I’m not sure who loves the visits more – Sweetness and Light, or Watson and Peake. The kittens get someone that will chase and play with them for several hours straight. The girls get to play with kittens. I get to take a bit of a break and sit in the comfy chair and watch the four of them romp for about 2 hours straight, AND Michael and I get a good night’s sleep as the cats are too tired to make trouble. Finally, the kittens learn how to deal with children that perhaps are not as respectful of cat-boundaries as grownups. Peake and Watson have learned to be quite tolerant of the girls.
Not a bad deal at all.
