But I swear if I do, my brain will already be tuned in to handle
things like...

"Meow! *Meow! *Meow! *Meow!" (Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom)
"Pet me! Pet me! *Pet me!"
"Feed me! Feed me! *Feed me!"
"Mommy! *Mommy! Mommy Mommy!!"

I once finally turned and shouted. "WHAT!!" *and Mayhem scurried

And Mayhem does this every morning.......

Meow! Meow! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom!

We all turn into our mothers at some time or other, (and we probably
all hate it too). It's the weirdest phenomenon. I guess you don't have
to have kids to experience it!
I wonder sometimes if the cats are child-replacements for the empty
nest, although I always had cats, and always took good care of them.
I didn't treat them like children so much as I do now, though, I don't
think
so anyway.
At least we don't have to send them to college. :-)
