What is it about kids and pets? If you've ever seen a child racing around in the backyard with his dog or snuggled under a blanket with a purring kitten, you'll agree that kids and animals just have a natural connection. Maybe it's the innocence they share or their mutual love of carefree play. Or perhaps it's their natural curiosity. Whatever the case, children and pets just click. In fact, my daughter calls our Phoebe her very best friend and I love that.

Spenser and Momo |
I'd like to introduce you to Spenser. He is a cat-lovin' teenager who happens to be the son of my friend, Marissa (who happens to write a fan-tab-u-lastic blog -- check it out). Spenser agreed to answer a few short questions about his love of cats.
Catladyland: Have you always loved cats?
Spenser: Of course I have. I have ever since I was at least five.
Catladyland: Do you have cats? What are their names?
Spenser: Yes, I have two. Their names are Silver and Momo.
Catladyland: Do you have a favorite? Why?
Spenser: No, because I love them equally, even if they do act strange at times.
Catladyland: What do you like best about cats?
Spenser: I just like how they can just be so sweet and just be lounge lizards, sort of like me.
I agree -- I think cats are very much like the humans that love them: sweet, strange, and love to lounge!
Thanks for the interview, Spenser. Keep on lovin' those kitties -- the future generation of Cat Men depends on you!
