Are Devon Rex good with children?
Devons are individuals, and so are children. The right Devon must be matched to the right children. Some Devons are perfect for children, and some are much better as a companion for an adult. The breeder will know which kittens will be right for children. A good “child candidate” for a Devon pet will have these characteristics: 1. Gentle with pets, realizing they are living creatures and not stuffed toys 2. Old enough to have full control of over their body and their own actions (toddlers must be under constant supervision with any pet, because toddlers are not old enough to comprehend their own strength nor the probable result of their actions) 3. Genuinely interested in the welfare of the pet 4. Willing to love the pet 5. Able to learn what it means to truly love a pet (which might mean letting a sleeping cat lie) 6.
