Allegedly, a pre-teen child abused a kitten and if this is true the child’s parents should be questioned and held to account if they are to blame for their child’s behavior.
It has to be a good idea to encourage children to assist in taking care of the family cat. I believe that children should be directly involved in caring for the family cat but there is a caveat. Precautions have to be taken otherwise a parent is setting things up for failure, which would be …

There is so much to like about this relationship. It’s very positive for both of them. I’d be delighted to see this if I was the parent of the child. The girl will learn about animals and develop a sensitivity towards them. Her resistance to allergens will be boosted. She’ll have a companion who is …

Here are four (no six as I liked them too much!) great photos of cats and kids by Iwona Podlasinska. She is a top female photographer. I believe she is Russian but is international in her outlook and work. There are many more photographs by this lady on Flickr. She is essentially a child photographer …
This is the height of what is nice in the world. It is the opposite to what is nasty (to much nasty stuff). The video shows us an innocent girl singing a lullaby to her ginger tabby cat friend who is completely content and relaxed. It doesn’t get sweeter and it shows us how young …
A ten-year-old East Texas girl, Greenlee Marie, was electrocuted causing her death while apparently trying to retrieve her kittens, who she loved dearly, from behind a dryer in the home, Fox Carolina reports. It is not known how the tragedy happened. I probably shouldn’t speculate but if she was electrocuted it would be an unfortunate …

I am not going to add a lot a words to this picture of a child grabbing the ear of a cat. Incidentally the cat appears to be an Exotic Shorthair, the shorthaired version of the flat-faced Persian. Suffice to say that it is a nice pictorial example of how a child left alone with …

Cat cruelty is perpetuated when parents and adults demonstrate it to their children or other children and/or engage their children in it through encouragement or by failing to stop it (bad parenting through ommission). The children are likely to do likewise when they become parents. Fox 19 News, present us with a good example of …
Introduction I have republished this page on top cat breeds for children and brought it forward so that it gets more exposure. When parents are trying to select a suitable cat breed for their children they are no doubt thinking about a cat breed which is more pliable and friendly than average and a breed …
There are growing numbers of asthma sufferers in the West. Thirty percent of children have allergies. Children living on farms are less likely to suffer from an allergy. I think that it is generally known now that microbes on farms help to protect children from asthma and allergies. They help to develop the immune system …

This should bring a tear to your eye. Here’s a really nice YouTube comment: “I burst with a laugh when she first started crying then I started crying along with her. So precious.” And another: “What is this salty discharge leaking out of my eyes?? First time this ever happens to me, do I need …

An eight-year-old boy collapsed and was taken to a hospital such was the emotional shock to him when he discovered that his eight-month-old kitten companion, Kiki, had been brutally murdered and beheaded by the cat killer known as the “Croydon Cat Killer”. The Croydon Cat Killer has been in the news regularly for months now …

This makes me mad. It makes me sad. It’s about education – the dire lack of it. It is about how a lack of education can and often does lead to cat abuse and cruelty. Ignorance is behind all cat cruelty; all of it, and I hate ignorance. What I’m saying is that ignorance is …

This is one of those beautiful little stories in which a young girl raises a tiny rescued kitten who was probably near death and who is now a thriving, healthy tabby cat. I’ll be honest, I don’t know an awful lot about the background to the story; for example, where it takes place. We do …
I like this video because the cat hits back. I love it when the cat hits back, which is extremely rare if the antagonist is a person. But I hate the video. It is horrible. So often the cat just becomes defensive and aggressive if he is constantly abused. This video show a kid crying …
