Cats and Children

 A cat might not be the best pet if you have small children, particularly those under three .

This takes into consideration both the child's and the cat's well-being.

Cats love to snuggle into people for company and warmth. This can be particularly dangerous when cats have been known to get into bed with babies and smother them unintentionally.

Another problem can occur when young kittens like to play with children.

Kittens have particularly sharp teeth and claws, and when they play, they can get overly excited and damage children's tender skin.

There is also the chance for the child to get scratched in the eye when playing with a kitten.

On the other hand, cats can get a hard life from children. Young children often tend to be a little bit heavy-handed when handling cats, and this can lead to anxiety for the cat.

If there are cats and children in the family, it is wise to teach the children how to handle a cat correctly.

Children need to be told how to pick up the cat, handle it carefully and become aware of when the cat doesn't want to be handled any longer and would like to be left alone in peace.

Many cats also get stressed by loud noise and sudden action, which is familiar to young children.

It is good for children to learn to be considerate towards animals at a young age.

They will treat animals better and be more considerate towards others. Having a pet in the family that the children can learn to respect can be excellent for developing better people.
