[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve wondered about this too. I won’t do it to my cat, but I worry about my future kids. My cats only three and ADORABLE - is my everything. She’s not aggresive or mean, but doesn’t like being held or touched unless she’s in the mood. So, DH and I know how to play and pet her, but an unsuspecting child wouldn’t, and would probably get scratched. Do I just keep them separated until the kids (mine, or visiting guests) learn?[/quote] You'll be surprised how well your cat can evade a clumsy toddler. No need to declaw the cat. Teach the kid to be respectful, they learn pretty fast if the pet is in the home all the time (plenty of reminders) and accept that a cat scratch can be both non-fatal and instructional. [/quote]
