Harry is constantly busy exploring his environment, at times with his mouth, but mostly with his hands. He enjoys banging items together and will go to great lengths to retrieve items he has spotted underneath chairs, behind doors etc. He stands sturdily while holding on and maintains his balance while he concentrates on his toys or watches the actions of others.
Harry has become scared of the family cat as it moves towards him, possibly because it is now at his eye level. Harry becomes visibly distressed, shaking with fear and needing comforting as the (friendly) cat approaches.
