Cats and Toddlers – Can They Coexist?
I have 3 lovely little boys in my life – 2 feline and one toddler. Our two cats have been with us for 5 years now and were my babies before my little boy came along 13 months ago. The cats tend to avoid my son, but now that he is on the move he follows them constantly. I know it is just normal curiosity on his part, but I am afraid that the cats are going to take a swing at him. They are very gentle creatures, but even the most mild mannered animals will react if someone sneaks up on them. I don’t want to keep them apart because they have to learn to live together, but at the same time I am on edge all the time afraid my son is going to lose an eye or something. Any advice from others who’ve been there would be greatly appreciated.
