Some boys are notorious for being savage with pets. Not my boy. He just rushed over to my chair, all in a panic. "Dad! Dad!" he said.
"What's up, mate?" I asked.
"The cat's following me!" He cast a frightened look back over his shoulder. The fat family cat wandered slowly past the kitchen island and walked into the laundry where its food was.
"Ah." I gave him a hug. He was trembling. I thought I'd use a bit of Socratic method to help him realize the cat wasn't out to get him. "What do you think the cat wanted?"
"I don't know. My toes?"
"Why would Bob want your toes?"
"They look like mice. Cats eat mice. Maybe Bob wanted to eat my toes."
I stifled a laugh. "I don't think cats get to be as fat as Bob by confusing toes with mice."
"Whatever, Dad. I was scared."
