Is it weird?

When my cats do something bad (i.e. scratch the sofa) I yell at them. Hello, custom Italian leather does not need to be used as a scratching post. Pre-pregnancy I'd clap my hands and chase them away. Now? I gently pick them up and say, "You can't scratch the sofa. It's very expensive and you have so many toys." Then I put the cat down and feel proud of myself for explaining why they can't do something. I realized I'm seriously practicing my parenting skills on my cats. Holy shit.


But how can you yell at a face like this?


Or this?


Or her? Aka the Princess of the House


I'm starting to wonder how these three are going to take it when a baby comes in December ...
