If You Give a Cat a Cupcake, You'll Reinforce Its Pathological Neediness

From FYC friend Nicole:

"Saw this at the Borders on Park Ave. on Sunday and immediately thought of the blog. This valuable parable teaches kids that if you give a cat a cupcake they'll walk all over you, because cats are jerks. Sure the kitty just asks for sprinkles at first, but next thing you know, the cat's dragging the kid to the beach, the amusement park, and the museum, forcing the child to carry all its stuff, and making her clean up the mayhem left in its wake."

These are the types of lessons that can be valuable, if children internalize them at a young enough age. I highly recommend this book, on those grounds.
