Richie has been fascinated by the cat, Banderas, ever since he first felt his silky fur at a few days old. Somewhat surprisingly, Banderas has been extremely accommodating, letting Richie pet, pull, tap and sometimes gently kick him without ever raising a claw. Of course he knows when to walk away but more often than not he'll come over to Richie on his own accord. Richie has now learned the sound of the cat's bell means he's nearby and starts to look for him when he hears the jingle or the swoosh of the cat door. Then he lets out a squeal of delight when he sees his buddy. I wouldn't be surprised if Richie's first full crawl or steps are to get him closer to the cat. He already rolls across the bed to get to the cat for a pet. And when Richie wakes up in the middle of the night with teething pain, who comes in to check on him if I leave the door open? The cat.
