I've made several observations today that have led me to the hyposthesis that, if you can take care of a cat, you can take care of a baby!!! The two creatures share very similar traits that makes me believe they may possibly be of the same genus.
1. Both believe that having their hair brushed is a game and are obsessed with grabbing the brush.
2. Both enjoy batting at water coming out of the faucet.
3. Both have their teeth brushed with a plastic finger toothbrush and use edible toothpaste - the baby's tastes like apples, the cat's tastes like tuna.
4. Both enjoy playing with ladybugs, but will eventually smooosh them on accident.
5. Both eat food that is the size of my little fingernail, and think that milk is "the cat's meow!"
6. Both find it enjoyable to lick you.
7. Both spend more time asleep than awake.
8. Both must have fragrant butts, because the dog likes to sniff them both!
9. Both like toys that roll across the floor making squeaks and rattles.
10. Both grow fingernails/claws very quickly.
11. Both like to play with electrical cords and throw a tantrum when you make them stop.
12. Both could spend hours watching the fish.
13. Both try to eat grass when allowed outside.
14. Both weigh about the same and like to be carried around.
15. Finally, unlike the dog, the cat and the baby both know that mommy is the real master of the house!
So...for anyone out there afraid of parenthood - if you can take care of a cat, you can take care of a baby:)

I admit the similarities are uncanny, but do you really think that people should leave babies at home for a weekend with a pile of food while they go off?
