hide-n-(sensory)-seeking

So over the last three plus months, Kit's relationship with Ivan the Cat has gotten a bit intense!  We have been doing a lot of redirection and splitting the two of them up because of Kit squishing him with her whole body, and biting him. Yes! The toddler is biting the cat! Repeatedly, everyday! It's been a huge problem. Something that Miss V (Kit's OT) and I discuss at every visit. She gauges the kind of week Kit has had in major part by how much Kit has been squishing and biting the cat. This cat is either incredibly loving and patient, or really dull in the head. Or maybe both. Either way, he is amazingly tolerant. Nevertheless, he is still a cat, and does eventually bite her back.  For the safety of the cat and kids, we have spent a great amount of time and energy trying to break this sensory seeking cycle. And one of the things we did a couple of weeks ago was go on a kitty search. Finally, at Toys-R-Us, we found him... Meet Thunder...
