“Ooh, sorry, kid, sorry. I’m not used to the laughter of children. It cuts through me like a dentist drill.” -Moe the Bartender
Seriously, I’m flashing back to an evening gathering I attended where someone decided to bring their small child to an apartment inhabited by a small skittish dog. It was unpleasant.
Yeah, and if the baby has a thumbsucking habit, they’ll frequently poke themselves in the eye or thereabouts if (like my son) they don’t adopt the habit of forming a fist first. A great many infant clothes have extra-long sleeves with wee pockets to tuck their fingers into to keep them from clawing their own eyes out.
When we came home with newborn some friends were over talking with my dad… So when the left not too long after we got settled in the cat was looking at them ‘wait you forgot the…oh man kill me now’
He actually ended up being quite good about it as long as we didn’t totally ignore him and he found out that the baby was warm so snuggle time was usually with both baby and cat.
BoingBoing does it again, this is the classic human infant protective cry when encountering dangerous animals that it fears might eat its face, the cat is obviously likewise uninterested in getting anywhere near the terrified human infant - having probably tasted human infant face before (a portion of the anatomy only slightly less disgusting than the human infant anus) This woman is torturing both the child and the cat and there is absolutely no reason for the BoingBoing editors to spread this display of sociopathology if it weren’t for it being so ickly poo cutesy wutesy.
