Think about it: the tinier your offspring is, the more intrigued he or she will be in the new kitten of the family. It will be their baby, their buddy, their toy. Except, the kitty isn’t exactly a toy. That’s something that you need to make very clear about, preferably from the very beginning. Also, even a toddler can recognize the fact that they are not to pick the cat up if they are informed not to. Firmly.
Kittens are Delicate!
Your youngster is vulnerable to reality. Yet the kitty cat is delicate, even against a kid. Your feline can conveniently be harmed by merely being loved too much! Young children have a routine of wanting to hug the kitten firmly. This can be fatal as it’s simple to restrict the cat’s air supply. Lifting the young kitten in a harsh way, or by its legs can produce the demand for a vet, where you and your child (if there) will certainly be counseled for ill-treating the poor kitty. It can also develop interior injuries on a small kitten that does not have much body fat to safeguard its internal body organs.
Doing Something About It
The most effective way to bring your little one and kitten with each other safely is by not permitting your kid to pick up the kitty. Until you make sure they can do it appropriately and also by teaching them to fuss the feline while the kitty is on your knee. The small feline will quickly follow your youngster around if they really feel safe. Within no time in any way, you’ll probably locate you have two “kittens” crawling around the flooring! By first teaching the secure method of fussing/playing, you make it safe. Not only for your kitten but your kid as well.
WAIT! What about children with puppies? Don’t worry, we got that covered.
