Our cat isn't exactly what I'd call a people-feline. She isn't especially interested in the kids. But this morning, I encouraged Brady to pet her, and this was the result:

Moments later, Isaac gave her a few strokes. Then even Abby got in on the action by asking if she could get her a bowl of milk.

It was a nice series of events. It was good to see the cat soaking up the attention. It was better to see the kids taking care of her in their own way, because that's what we're supposed to do: take care of one another.
