Why babies are like cats

Has anyone else noticed that babies are a lot like house cats?
Here are some similarities I have observed. Both my baby and my cat...
  1. love playing with paper and magazines
  2. love plastic bags
  3. love cardboard boxes
  4. sometimes give love bites
  5. are fascinated by computer keyboards
  6. cry/meow
  7. love to sleep on mama
  8. wake you up in the wee hours of the morning
  9. want love on their terms: when you want to hold them they don't want to be held and when you are incredibly busy they decide they want to be on your lap
  10. sleep a lot :)
Has anybody noticed any other similarities? I am currently dogless, but would be interested to hear if dog owners notice that their babies remind them of their dogs and vice versa...

    They both eat, poop and throw-up a lot (hairballs you know)...

    They are both also the centers of their universes? (At least, Ashley is in our house, and Bobby was for me...)

    Very true Jeannel. Having a baby in the house has been very hard on TJ's self esteem :(
