about a year before i got pregnant, i stepped on woody's tail. i was rushing around before work one morning, trying not to trip over the cat as he attempted to
help me kill me before leaving the house. he yelped and leapt away, and as i tried not to spill my coffee my heart broke into a million pieces. my baby! my kitten! my little man! how careless of mommy to hurt him! i didn't do it on purpose, sweetheart. mommy loves you.
i felt horrible, as if i had sliced off my own finger. i knew in that moment that i was ready to have children. if i could feel this way about a cat, i was ready for a baby. i had enough love and patience to give a child.
now that i am an actual parent and not just a cat mommy, i know: having a cat? is nothing like raising a baby.

LOL!!!
We have a girl cat named Anastacia. I used to cuddle her and love on her all the time. She was totally my baby.
After we brought Charlotte home from the hospital, I told Donald that I felt bad, but I just couldn't look at Anastacia the same. She's JUST a cat.
Poor Anastacia still hasn't quite adjusted.

You have just confirmed everything that I fear about having children. :)

so true! I never thought I'd feel differently about my pets but you just do. NOt that you love them any less, just differently once your baby arrives. Thankfully, our dog deals with it fairly well!
