Doing what cats do best

We finally did it. Furry pets have invaded our household. Funny, this is the first time I've had a real pet since having children and it's just not quite the same -- yet anyway. I'm looking forward to having them cuddle up with me while I read, though. And of course the kids are being their characteristic selves with them: LT making them a bed, figuring out the best place for their food and litter, and wondering if we should get them flea collars; C having to be constantly reminded not to terrorize them with friendliness or else, no matter how much she's just doing it because she loves them, they'll avoid her like the four-year-old plague (like her grandparents' cats do, but then, they've known her since she was much younger and hence much more frightening to those of the feline persuasion).

Now I get to childproof all over again. Please tell me again why I did this?
