Gets dressed… extricates kitten from closet.
Feeds cats… extricates kitten from pantry.
Opens dishwasher… extricates kitten…
This is giving me fond memories of having toddlers.
Toast is not a bad kitten. She’s just curious, and energetic, and that’s fun to watch. 

Ok, sometimes it’s exasperating. To all of us, which included Inspector Gidget! 

This was not a one-sided battle. Gidget trounced Toast. It’s fun to see the big plushy cat learn how to kitten, since she never did that even though she was only 12 weeks old when she came to live with us. 

Toast is a good companion. Most of the time she’s in her bed on my desk. Sometimes, she likes to take over my footstool instead, which would be great in winter, rather than the warms of summer approaching! 

The First Reader gets her affection if I’m not around. He grumbles, but doesn’t stop her from nesting on his function keys. 

We love Toast!

The pictures inside of the post aren’t showing for me.
Me neither.
I’ve just uploaded the images a different way, hopefully this works!
As one who has a toddler, this made me chuckle. What a lovely little baby!
Toast is adorable! And yes, reminds me of my almost-two grandson. Always curious, and “helpful”.

I don’t have a cat, but I have a horse that is annoyingly curious and playful too. Not very popular in my boarding barn right now because of his tendency to break paddocks and run free…
It doesn’t have anything to do with the post, but I read this and I thought of you. Maybe you already know of this, because there’s people from UT involved, but just in case: https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-key-to-species-diversity-may-be-in-their-similarities-20230626/
I don’t follow science consistently, but I like to read some blogs with miscellaneous content that approach science to a non-scientist level, and I just read a translation (I’m Spanish) of this article and found it fascinating.
