Ki-Ki

We have a cat named Goose.  I know, I know...that's the awesomest name you've ever heard for a cat.  And to that I say, thank you...I came up with it.  Actually, the back story is that I got him at a shelter in Kansas about 2 and a half years ago, we thought "he" was a "she" so we named her Lucy. So, then we started calling her Lucy Goose.  Then we took her to get fixed and that's when the vet laughed at us and said, "You crazy people, how can you not know this little kitty is a BOY!"  So, we decided to just call him Goose.  That...and my husband LOVES Top Gun...so...

Anyway, Mia is finally taking lots of interest in Goose...or as she calls him...Ki-Ki. That's how she says kitty.  Ki-Ki.  It's awesome.  She doesn't try to pull his tail and she doesn't try to poke him in the eye or anything like that either.  Instead, she pets him really nicely and then just SQUEALS because she is so excited by him. 

Lately, she has been really into handing things to us.  She picks something up (usually a toy or the TV remote) and walks it over to hand it to you...then goes back for something else, walks it over to you, hands it over...repeat, repeat, repeat. 

Well, now she's doing it with her Ki-Ki. When he doesn't respond to her, she gets really confused.  I wonder when it will be a good time to tell her that Goose does not have opposable thumbs and can't physically take anything from her.
