I was reading your comments and trying to think of some kitten wisdom of my own, but it all sounded too much like Robert Fulghum. Then, I read Robin's idea. Yes.

It see...Maybe something like, "Want to be friends?" It seems to me that if the cat (or a child, or even an adult) didn't want contact with someone, it would run away (or walk away). Often people -- and cats? -- want affection from others but are afraid to make the first move, out of fear of rejection, or physical or emotional abuse. So they wait for your reaction to them, and perhaps stand cautiously a distance away at first. This reminds me of my favorite part of one of my very favorite books, "The Little Prince." The fox: "Please--tame me! ... You must be very patient. First you will sit down at a little distance from me... in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit a little closer to me, every day..."<BR/><BR/>Whatever you decide to call it, may I please have a copy of the poster? :)Cartooncharacterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695000890707654720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254153824379805831.post-74767007030931620162009-02-11T12:21:00.000-08:002009-02-11T12:21:00.000-08:00Ok a couple of Chinese Proverbs come to mind.
