A couple of days ago, my great grand-girl-boy-twins came for a visit. As most of our visiting toddlers do, they asked about the kitties. They wanted to see the kitties. While Max and Sophie always hide out when they see the little ones walk in, Lily usually joins the whirlwind of activity. 
From the time she was a kitten, if she’d hear children playing next door, she’d find a perch at the nearest window and stare out at them for hours. She was only about eight or ten-weeks old when our three-year-old granddaughter started staying with us every Wednesday and the child and the kitten really hit it off. Wherever Alyzay played, that’s where you’d find Lily—scattering blocks, hiding in a homemade tent, coloring, working a puzzle… Lily even got involved once in Alyzay’s game of “super hero.” I made them both a cape and they flew around the living room together for a while.
Both Alyzay and Lily have grown up some, but Lily still enjoys small children. The day the eighteen-month-old twins came by, they found Lily napping and excitedly headed for her. While the little ones were gentle and being supervised, they were also active and managed to move a foot too close to Lily a time or two, lean on her maybe a little too hard, and they weren’t always using their quiet voices. But Lily was much too interested in them to complain or even move out of their way. She’s one of those rare cats who likes little kids. And she sure provides us with a lot of fun photo ops!
