Koba's Human Age

Every morning we wake up to meows every 2.5 seconds to remind us that it's breakfast time. If we push the snooze button, he politely starts knocking stuff off of our night stands. He's so helpful. Not being a morning person, our kitten is super annoying starting at around 5:00 am until we feed him. His crying and throwing a fit makes me wonder what age Koba would be if he was a human, based on only his actions.

Infant: Koba likes to be carried like a baby... Apparently, being held belly-up is not something that all cats like. Koba does, at least for a few minutes until he finds something better to do.

Age 2: Early in the morning, Koba acts like a two year old. as I mentioned, he will meow and meow and meow until we get up out of bed. If that doesn't work, he starts knocking things over. Once one of us is up and out of bed, he will continue meowing until he thinks we are following him, and then try to lead us to his food bowl. Apparently, he thinks the reason we aren't feeding him is because we forgot where his food is. This is literally an everyday occurrence.

Age 3: Koba's curiosity reminds me of a 3 year old. Sadly, he can't just accept the fact that he's not allowed to do certain things. He just has to check out everything new, and he's quick enough to run away when he gets in trouble. He's so excited to go outside and explore, but half the time we take him out he's either scared or cold and wants to go back inside.

 

Age 6: When Koba is playing he reminds me of a young boy. He will wrestle with you until he feels like he is losing, and then he will run away. He loves to play catch and jump for a string. He loves to play!

  

Teenage Boy: When it's mealtime, he scarfs down his food like a teenage boy who just got home from football practice. He scavenges for food EVERYWHERE and he doesn't care if its several days old. Its gross.

Old Man: At bedtime, Koba acts like an old man. The way he will just lay on us, or snuggle up to us to get warm, or nuzzle his nose under the covers is so sweet.

So who knows how old Koba would really be if he was a human...
