Heehee, my 14 year old still thinks he's a kitten and leaps around (even though he can't see properly) chasing things. My toddler thinks he's wonderful and is always trying to pick him up, cuddle him or kiss him. I have 4 cats, and he is the only one who tollerates the toddler, the other either run away or scratch. My toddler has been pretty mean (without realising that he might be hurting the cat) to him and he has yet to retaliate (although I'm teaching him to be gentle with the cats at 2 they don't realise). Yes he's noisy, yes he can be a pain with his chatting but he's such a lovely cat in every single way.
