A beautiful relationship between cats and children
First Interactions
Think about your first impression of a coworker, a neighbor, or a friend. That initial impression may have changed over time, but you always remember those pivotal first few seconds. Cats are the same way.
When you’re first introducing your cat to your baby, keep a close eye on both parties. Toddlers in particular tend to be eager to explore their surroundings and may want to grab at the cat. Help your child redirect any attempts to grab into soft petting. This will teach your child how to interact with your cat while also teaching your cat that your kiddo is a source of loving attention.
