be amused by a cat

Raine is an only child. You would think that would mean very little competition for attention, toys, etc. You would be wrong. This afternoon, Raine folded up some paper airplanes and played with them for a while. She showed them to me when I got home from work. When we got home from dinner, one of the airplanes was on the floor, but Raine didn't get to play with them because she had homework to finish.

While Raine was diligently writing sentences about the book we read together last night, the cat came in and laid down on the rug... with her front legs covering the airplane proprietorially. She put her back towards Raine and lounged on the airplane, as if daring Raine to take notice. I was very amused.

Finally Raine finished her writing, and then "Hey! The cat is on my airplane!"

Raine didn't see the best part, though. While she was putting away her things, the cat played with the airplane... crinkling it and batting at it.
