Home Alone with Kitties

We have two kittens who are 10 weeks old. They are cute I’ll admit and I love them to death. They seems to not understand that they are capable of hurting us. See you have to wait until they are 3 month old before they can be declawed so until then, we get stratches. It’s not as if they do it out of malicious intent; they just want to play and we make the best jungle gyms.

Anyways this whole this has made me realize that I’m not ready to have kids. Not that I was planning on having any for a while but just re-affirmed that notion. Disciplining a kitty is a lot harder than I ever realized let alone a kid. I guess that’s what they say for people to do before they have kids is to have a plant and then a pet. I don’t have time or really the desire to play with the kittens as much as they’d like, I get annoyed with them even though they’re cute (just know one walked across the keyboard causing several windows to pop up, sigh), and they prevent us from sleeping. If we shut them out of our room they sit outside the door meowing to come in, but if we let them in, they run and play over us all night.

I wonder, however, if I will ever come to that point where I feel like I could be a good parent. I think it might just be one of those things that your not any good at till you do it and make a few mistakes.

For now I’ll stick with my rebellious kitty.
