Fool, I don't eat Cheerios!

I'm amazed at the behaviors toddlers pick up. Lately, C has been trying to feed his stuffed animals his Cheerios, string cheese, etc. Some of them don't even have mouths or an outline of a mouth but he knows that's where food, generally, goes. He's taken this one step beyond the stuffed animals and now tries to feed the cats the various items. One cat, Moxi, is pretty tolerant of The Boy. When she's had enough she'll run and hide. The other, Snickerdoodle, is a cat from hell. She is much less tolerant and has bapped (she's declawed since we anticipated this problem) The Boy a couple times in an effort to stand her ground. The other day poor Moxi got corralled into his room on accident. C saw this as the perfect opportunity to "share" his Cheerios with her. The look on her face was priceless: one of disgust and confusion. If she could talk I believe she would have said: Fool, I don't eat Cheerios!
