Long ago when my boys were tiny and had to have this kitten, he was their best friend and a big bad ratter. Now he comes running when I come home like an eager dog, not sure why there is so much less playing going on around here and running underfoot until it is either I stop and pet him or break a leg.
As they get older, cats seem to like human company more than their own! I know what you mean by underfoot - its like a tap dance trying to avoid them then invariably you stand on a foot and the yowling can be heard next door!
