Yay for big orange kitty Jake! But just think - if you keep the name Jake, you could make him wear tiny sunglasses and take pictures....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

But there's no inherent reason that you couldn't read a pile of magazines on a flight just because you have kids.
Once they get to a certain age, sure.
Under 10? Good luck.

He's sniffing up a storm. Everywhere the cats like to be has been deeply inhaled.
I'm a little worried about cat introductions, but we'll give him a couple of hours before he has to deal with another actual cat.

Yeah, you're not going to be doing anything except keeping the kid entertained on a flight. It's like three hours of jazz hands topped with a diaper change in a broom closet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay for big orange kitties! Good times.

Sometimes I think that kids just aren't worth the trouble. Then I realize that if everyone were like me, the human race would have died out way back in caveperson days....

I see people on flights managing kids just fine. And I traveled a lot with my parents, who basically did their thing, including my father, who took long breaks at the back of plane to smoke. And we also did plenty of long car trips at all ages. I'm not saying its always like that, I just feel sorry for people that think that's impossible.

It's effortful. But probably 7 out of the top 10 instances of pure joy I've felt in my life are all parenting related.
This guy just came into the office for a meeting, and since the reception area is under construction he didn't know where to go. So I came out to great him and he sounded exactly like Jon Lovitz.
He even looked a little like him. The only thing that was weird was that he didn't start muttering "tartlets, tartlets" or "yeah, that's right" or "It stinks!"
