Re: Pets, Kids and Families
For many families, getting an older (like 6-month-old) kitten is a good solution, or getting a slightly larger breed of dog. However, that doesn't really solve the problem of a pet hurting a child! I think that most cats will simply avoid kids it they're annoying them ... though I'm sure that there are plenty of cats who would scratch or bite a child who was being VERY rough. And you can also be sure to select a tolerant dog ... a lab, for example, will put up with a lot more from children than most terriers will.
