[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have cats- got them as a bonded pair. They are very affectionate and our kids adore them. They also calm the kids when they are upset and go sit on their laps if they cry about something. The crying immediately stops. It’s pretty amazing.[/quote] +1 Two cats, not just one cat, is the way to go. The cats keep each other entertained and aren't that much more work than one cat. The chores associated with a cat are easy to assign to kids as well and you can leave them for a long weekend without issue. My DCs love our cats and they haven't lost interest in the 6 years we've had them. Having said that, we got lucky with two affectionate cats. If I had to do it all over again, I would be sure to seek that out because I think that's the difference between basically sharing a house with a cat and having a true pet.[/quote]
