For many parents, the idea of kids and cats together is an absolute
natural. For other parents though, it’s a scary thought that may get the
family cat a one-way ticket to the local shelter.
Children
and cats can be wonderful companions for each other. My kids have had
the most loving, playful, endearing relationships with the cats in our
lives. These relationships didn’t just happen by accident though. We
prepared, educated and set up an environment that was both kid-safe and
cat-safe.
