Kittens
Imagine a kitten climbing a tree. It is engaged in experimenting.
It balances itself, it tests its strength and its agility.
But the mother cat will not leave it alone: she insists that it come down. “You may break your neck, you naughty kitten” she hisses. How this would interrupt the kitten’s pleasure in growing!
It would even interrupt the growth process itself.
“Sit still- don’t touch that- don’t do that……. smack-smack-smack”
But cats, of course, do not behave so stupidly.
They leave the pursuit of safety and security and the passing on of neurosis to human beings.

Mmmm, you don't have kids hey Mike? If you do they cannot possibly be boys!
Just you wait, you will be doing more reprimanding than Mommy cat when those little buggers come around!
