I took these pictures of my determined son the other day. . .and am sharing them just to make you smile. 
Patches was such a good kitty, she didn’t fight against this treatment at all, she just kind of “limped” herself and patiently waited for the chance to be free.
In the end, I was the one who rescued her.
They look almost. . . . . related (with those squinty eyes) in this shot:
“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can”
“I need to stop for a moment and . . .adjust. . ..”
“THERE we go, UP! UP!. . .oh, Patches! Get your ear out of my mouth, yuck!”
“Almost there, Patches!”
(She got away at this point. . . .but wasn’t safe for very long)
“*Whew* I got away, now, back to my bath”–Patches
“Here that boy is again, I’ll groom his arm.” ~Patches
“Woops! Off we go again!” ~Patches
(This one reminds me of a pairs figure-skating position.)
“Come on Patches, Mom’s starting to yell!”
“My shoulder feels funny, it’s a good thing I’m flexible!” ~Patches
“What are you doing? I wish you would use those back legs!”
“Ooph, you’re heavy. But, we’re almost there.”
“Stay with me, Patches!”
This is where I intervened, concerned about poor Patches’ joints.
Patches got away and the little guy went off to do something else.
I eventually let him play with the hose, but that’s another story.
Good to be Home 
Hilarious! I love the one of Caleb on his tip-toes!
So funny.
That started my morning off with a good laugh!! That is too cute!! Have a great day!
My husband and I were both chuckling over these! How adorable. Thank you for sharing. Patches is a very patient kitty!
Very cute….made me laugh! Have a good day.
Fantastic pics! He’s just a doll. Your whole family is just so beautiful! Patches looks like an abnormal cat, she didn’t seem to mind too much at all. That’s the kind of cat I can get behind. 🙂
That is hilarious! So adorable! and Patches deserves an award!
Sooo CUTE.
Thank you for sharing that.
oh my goodness! poor patches… what good cat!!!
Oh, that’s too cute and funny. Caleb was determined to do what he wanted to do with Patches. What a patient cat. Patches is thinking, “Just let Caleb do his thing”. So sweet.
I like the narration on the pics!
what a sweet pair! Reminded me of our Louie….he’s quite patient too!
That is so funny!!! Poor kitty:) amanda
LOL…that sure did put a smile on my face. I would have been laughing so hard that all the pictures would be a blur, good job Mama.
ps) My 3 year old tries to do the same with our pet but he can’t quiet budge a 130lb Newfoundland, but it sure is fun watching them.
What an adorable post! And Wow, you aren’t kidding. That is one patient cat! How beautiful. I love all the captions you wrote too. They’re perfect. :):)
Awww…
What a laugh! Just loved the figure skating pair! They get a perfect score from me.
Haha. Thank you for sharing.

They are such cute pictures!! Thanks for sharing them. Patches was a trooper through it all!
That’s hilarious! Good thing Patches is so used to being “tortured” by five children. 🙂
What an exceedingly tolerant cat!!!

How cuuute !! Pretty soon Caleb will have the upper hand with Patches — what a good kitty for a family with small boys!
Too cute! Poor little Patches. 🙂
Very cute! My cat would never put up with that treatment. He steers clear of little people. I enjoyed the captions as much as the pictures. Good job!
You have a great cat there. Blessings…

that poor cat is saying, “let go of my arm!”the figure skating comment made me giggle…
