John asked to jump on the bed this afternoon. We didn't have much to do and Daddy was going to be late, so I relented. He grabbed the blanket out of the den and climbed up on the bed. He jumped for a couple of minutes and then started talking to Wicket. It was a strange day because, even with all the jumping, Wicket was still sitting on the bed. Very odd for our little scared-y cat who usually runs at the slightest fast movement!
As we talked I told him how jumping on the bed would scare her. Before too long, John wanted me to tell her to get off HIS bed so that he could jump. I made sure to tell him that this was not HIS bed and that she could sit there if she liked.
He even tried to tell her, but you can tell she's ignoring him.
He continued to talk with her and I until finally, she did get off the bed. He then got down to some serious jumping. I was kind of surprised how careful he was with her on the bed. I guess my scolding about scaring the cat has finally taken root. Wicket was quite wary about him, but seemed to tolerate his presence better today than most others.
