THE KING OF TOLERANCE

As is clear, it is the whim of Princess pie that gives us cause to proceed each day she is like a little sponge that just absorbs anything and everything that occurs in her earshot. She is so strong willed that getting her to mind and be obedient is sometimes a moment by moment challenge. When one is three and striving with great effort to do everything independently occasionally some frustration emerges. One of the real challenges is helping Princess pie understand that kitties are in fact more than animated stuffies and that they are not subject to direction to say sit on command. As such if you would like to have a kitty to snuggle into your lap then you must allow it when the cat is so inclined. Now Daddy kitty is just so attention starved that it is his perception that any and all available laps are in fact at his disposal. He is a bit older around 12 or so, so when he is reminded the of the meaning of play time, he runs away. Not a tremendous surprise. Well, yesterday the stars aligned and in spite of the fact that Princess pie is as likely to try to dance upright with daddy kitty as she is to let him snuggle up in her lap. For a brief time she did allow daddy kitty to stay with her she was so delighted to have him sitting there and it appeared from his expression that he was enjoying that the owner of this lap was after much training understanding the laps true purpose.
