Cat pets are a wonderful way to introduce your child to the joys of pet ownership and responsibility. When our children were very young, we brought a one year old tabby cat into the household. She came from an animal shelter, and despite her reported skittishness around children settled in well.
I just read an article written by a vet that covered a lot of great information about this sort of thing. If you have small children and are thinking about getting a cat, this would be a good place to start your research.
One point the doctor makes that I would certainly agree with is that the parent is going to be the primary caretaker or the animal, especially if your child is very young. But since kids learn by imitating the adults around them, this is a great way to introduce them to proper pet care.
Yes, cat pets are a great way to teach your little ones gentle animal care at a tender age.
My nephew is fond of cats and dogs. My brother is wondering which one to get for him. He is not sure if they will be able to manage both, that is, will they fight….
Do you know of anyone who has both cats and dogs has pets?.
