[quote=Anonymous]I have two small children and a cat. At that age we monitored their interactions with cat at all times. This was because cat was very anxious around them and because we wanted to teach them to respect cat. There was never an opportunity at that age for them to kick him or shove him. We just modeled how to handle an animal and then encouraged cat to move along to keep the interactions short and positive. Now that the kids are older cat loves them and they love him. They've never been mean to him. Pp is wrong your child is not a sociopath obviously but I would perhaps monitor him more and give tons of praise for gentle pets, giving treats, taking care of cat etc. And not leave room for him to engage in the other behavior.
