1. What a sweet baby! He innately has a sense of empathy and sharing.

[Igel]

5. Sorry.

To me, that expression is saying, "No, it's mine, you can't have it."

Possibly coupled with, "Would you taste as good?"

"Sharing" would be holding out the food for the cat, not watching the cat while eating.

The cat, of course, is alternating between thoughts: "I want that, it's mine, but can I take it from him?" and "When my food's done eating, maybe I'll be able to surprise it. But it is big, so probably not."


Still, it is cute.

6. The baby does hold the food out for the cat

then the cat takes a bite and the baby then takes a bite. Did you not see that or am I missing something?

[Tanuki]

9. Yes, the baby is engaging in turn-taking. A bite for me, a bite for you.

The baby noticed that the cat was looking at the food and understood what it wanted. He responded in a way that was generous and kind.

14. I love the idea that babies

understand sharing that well.

2. Adorable baby and cat, but the mouse in your sig line is the one I identify with. NT

3. Is that kid eating a butter croissant?

I once found my cat on the top highest kitchen shelf, next to a package of croissants. Oh how the cats love their butter!

13. That's what it looks like to me. I was surprised the cat was interested.

My cat won't touch human food except for tuna.

4. A sweet little kid, and a ...

...patient kitty.

Of course, germaphobes would be horrified.

10. Cat and baby

are both adorable!! Look at the rolls on the baby's legs! What a tempting baby to just pick up and cuddle. Beautiful blues eyes.

11. My mother loved what she called "fat" babies - with those rolls. She couldn't resist a baby with

rolls.

She would have been in roll heaven with that baby.

And would have been jealous of the cat.
