The crib must be forbidden to cats .When baby is too small it can be dangerous for babies. Your cat can be curious about going into crib, teach it kindly to not go in. With infants you should always watch your pet and baby. Even the most tolerant animal can be feel under threat and act aggressivly.


 Children & Cats

Raising children with animals will teach them loving and respecting to other living beings.Of course before you have to teach few things to your children,cat and yourself :)

First thing you have to do is teach your children how to pet and play with cat. Its important. Otherwise cat can run away from kids and don't want play with them.Kids will be a stress source for your little friend. We rather them to be friends,play together,have nice communication :) Its natural kids want to grab , hug  the cat. You should teach them how to act kindly, teach how to pet and hug it without causing stress to cat. You should also teach them the cat's body language.So kids will know when cat don't want to play  or be petted.Your children must know animals have feelings and they can feel tired , stressed too just like us. So they shouldn't see the cat as stuffed animal toy.They should know cat is living and feeling just like them.They should learn respect them.

Cat owners must know that looking after cat is never childrens' responsibility.You must be the one who caring about the cat but its always a good idea sharing the responsibility with your children.You can teach them how to feed , changing its water, grooming.These are very beneficial for children too,They will learn taking responsibility, caring about another living being,sharing, friendship and love. But you can never leave all responsibility to children about the cat. They are really young to know what cat needs. They can't take fully responsibility.Animals can suffer because of this.So don't forget its your responsibility.


Be a role model for your children.Be kind and patient towards the cat all the time.Even if it steal the food from table :D. Because children will learn from you how to threat animals.Always be kind and nice.

When you have a children and a cat now u can sit back and watch how they playing together :)
