Wishful Thinking

Riley stayed under the covers this morning, calico cat purring at her feet. I climbed in to snuggle, hoping gradually to get her moving. Tanya stretched and walked within petting distance and Riley's hand came out from under the covers to reach for her.

Groggily, she said, "Mommy, I wish we could put Tanya's uterus back in, so she could have kittens."

I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't throwing the U word around at the age of nine.

Besides, does this look like the face of someone who wants a bunch of snot nosed furballs pestering her? I didn't think so.

That is sooo funny! We have a calico cat too, and we get the same expression. Tanya reminds me of our cat.

Yay! Your cat is named Tanya! I once worked with a guy who had a dog named Tanya. I love hearing about pets that have my name!

Nigel says the same thing about our two female cats that are spayed. Don't recall him saying "uterus" - it was more like he wished we could unspay them or despay them, something like that. I don't think so!
