Babies And Cats DO Go Together: Leo And Fleo
Babies and cats DO go together – and Leo and his pet cat, Flea, are living proof.
Leo is a rambuctious, happy, little (human) bundle of energy who just turned 2-years-old the other day. Flea is a lot older and wiser, and as gentle with his human toddler buddy as Leo is with him.
It’s all about parenting. I’m sure that left to his own devices, Leo would happily grab Flea and traumatize the heck out of the poor old fellow. However, Leo’s mom devotes unlimited time to teaching Leo how to relate, share and consider the feelings of other living beings.
I’ve seen living proof of this myself in the way Leo interacts with Lily, the younger baby his mother provides with full-time day care 4 days a week. Lily is as fair, quiet and gentle as Leo is dark, loud and rambunctious – but the two of them outdo each other in affectionate cooperation. It’s really lovely to watch them being generous with each other (though Leo does like stand beside Lily and open his mouth wide, when she’s getting fed her dinner).
Besides, even though Flea has never actually met Minkey – Leo has.
And when it comes to babies and cats, Leo is the only baby in the world that Minkey isn’t afraid of.
