friend says, 'Think the cat is surprised my grandson had taken over the kings chair 😂😂 '. like sibling rivalry.
You're viewing a single thread.
just FYI those store-bought trees will definitely collapse eventually with not-cats climbing on them
Can confirm. Source: Had a friend's kid climb one of ours and damage it. Fortunately he didn't fall and hurt himself, and no cats were hurt either.
You say fortunately, I say unfortunately. Kids gotta learn they aren't cats! They aren't cute enough for head scritches. BACK TO THE MINES WITH YOU, FOUL DIAPER WEARING TINY HUMAN!!!
Yeah, though the kid was like 7 or 8 - old enough to know better. But his parents were divorcing and their mother had had them for months and was letting them get away with everything - the father (who brought them to our house) was trying to get them back in line, but he was overwhelmed.
He and his brother also got into a cabinet where I have the LEGO Simpsons house and Kwik-E-Mart and tore both of them apart. I can kind of understand - LEGO, play - but also...dude, this is someone else's house. Fortunately it was LEGO and could be rebuilt. They were breaking stuff or letting the cats out every time they visited (one left the door wide open...who does that? I said, with irritation, "You have to close the door!" and the kid got all upset, but when it comes to my pets, I'm not going to mess around).
We tried to be patient and help - it's difficult to teach kids manners if they haven't been in the situation where they need them, right? Eventually they did settle down somewhat.
Another FYI, introducing social media through iPads and computer tablets to children before the age to 14 affects their cognitive development into adulthood.
Making some big assumptions there that the kid is on social media. For all you know he's playing educational games.
Given the level of intelligence conversing with people here, it's a higher order of magnitude more likely that kid is browsing Lemmy, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, etc simultaneously and commenting right now.
