The ex promised Lizzy a cat. A lot of
times I can fault her on delivery of promises to the kids, but this
time, she delivered. It was an awesome thing that she did. Lizzy
has wanted a pet since we lost Connie and it has been an all
consuming want, that only a child can have.
The kitten is adorable. Lizzy named
him Cody. He is a small package of cute, piss and vinegar. He loves
to play and get into trouble. Luckily, he's a people cat. For
Lizzy, unfortunately he is a tough lesson. He is Lizzy's cat and yet
seems to like Emily better. Lizzy gets upset when the cat will stop
playing with her and run over to Emily. Emily already has claimed
ownership on him and he on Emily.
Lizzy is learning, that no matter how
much you give, want or try, animals sometimes will like somebody else
better. There is no rhyme or reason, just the realization that
attractions happen and you can't control both sides of the equation.
Lizzy still loves Cody and still plays
with him. You can tell, though, that she was expecting the undying
attention and instead has to settle for the leftover affection.
