Family Meeting Night

Some time ago, Momoko instituted family meeting night. This is some time we set aside each week for each cat to bring up family issues they want to address. At first Little Kat said these meetings were no fun. We were bringing up problems all the time.

Tonight I was happy to see that Momoko let Kit Kat run the meeting. Normally Momoko calls the meeting to order and runs the thing. The other nice thing about tonight was that Little Kat was able to vocalize some ways the family was changing that he did not like. Most of his issues were addressed. And some actions were assigned to family members. That's how business is done.

We are getting better at boxing in the time spent at family meeting night. Normally Little Kat is the time keeper. He sets a physical timer that rings when the time runs out. This helps us make sure we don't spend all night in a family meeting. It seems family meeting night is turning out almost as good as family game night. Maybe I will share some fun from those nights in a future post.
