For a good few weeks now, ds (3 in couple weeks) thinks he is a cat! When he comes in to see me in bed in the mornings, he miaows! He crawls all day on his hands and knees, talking in a squeky voice, 'need pussy cat food, pussy cat be, pussy cat mummy'. He talks about his fur and tail!
I would add that we don't have a cat!
I am wondering if he was a cat in a previous life! When he has a ferocious tantrum, the only way I can get him to calm down is to miaow to him! it started as a game , but seems to be taking over his life now. Last night he was looking for food in my cupboards, and I said no because I was cooking dinner. He moaned so I said it was pussy cat dinner (to stop a tantrum), and his face lit up and said 'Is it a mouse?!!!!' It was salmon (a close second cat favorite!) Does anyone else have a child who behaves like this??!!
