Archive for the 'Plush Cat' Category

My son hates going to daycare. I feel sad that I have to leave him there everyday - but I don’t have any choice as a single parent. I have to make a living to provide a good life for him. Of course, he’s too young to understand all of this.
The only thing that seems to console him is his teddy bear cat. He loves that stuffed toy so much. He’s had it since he was a toddler, so it’s pretty scruffy, but he doesn’t seem to mind. He often asks me when he can get a real ferret. I tell him that he has to be a little bit older. For now, the stuffed ferret will have to do.
My family and I just returned from a two-week vacation in Florida, and we couldn’t be more refreshed and invigorated. It’s funny to think that we almost called the whole thing off because of a cat. My 4-year-old daughter has a special attachment to Fuzzy, the tabby cat we got right around the time our daughter was born. The two of them grew up together, so it really wasn’t surprising that my daughter insisted on taking the cat with us on vacation.
But that just wasn’t an option. Thinking quickly, I found a plush cat online and gave it to my daughter along with the promise that Fuzzy would be well taken care of by the neighbors. The idea took some getting used to, but eventually the girl acquiesced and we set off on our cross-country trip without incident.
