Pets as Children

I am single and have no children. When my friends tell funny stories about their kids, I want to chime in with anecdotes about my two adorable kittens. It feels the same to me, but I am afraid my friends will think I’m nuts.

You can help your friends share in the delight your kittens afford you. Start the conversation with a comment that shows you can appreciate their children’s antics, even though you are not a mother yourself. Continue, without hesitation, to tell a cute kitten story. Then bridge the gap between child and pet by suggesting that your friends bring their kids to your home to enjoy the kittens in person.
