Cat People


My daughter *loves* being a cat. I mean, to the point where she’ll be playing make believe with friends, and it’ll be some story about the prince and the princess and … the royal kitten. It’s really sweet, and I’m happy that she sees the benefit of choosing the character part over the ingenue – but I wish some of the scenarios featured her character a bit more prominently. Tonight she’s reading a copy of Littlest Petshop Sleeping Beauty – so maybe she’s starting to recognize that a good kitten-driven plot can be very compelling if it is done properly.
