Summer Moments: Toddlers and Cats

I was heading out of the car from a dinner date with my husband just now and a family with toddler twins was on the sidewalk in front of our house, intrigued by our cats.


As it turns out, this family of four has been living down the block for two years, the mother home full-time with the twins, who are two and a half. And we had never met them. I am glad we did!

My husband was in the house with our dog, who, watching from the family room window became very jealous at all the attention the cats were getting. The toddlers were treating the cats like dogs, throwing a white balloon at them and hoping they'd fetch.  Being cats, of course they did not comply.
