Cat And Small Children 
If you have small children in the house and in particular those under the age of 3 then a cat may not be the best pet to have around.
This is taking into consideration both the child and the cat’s well-being. Cats love to cuddle into people for company and warmth and this can be particularly dangerous where cats have been known to get into bed with babies and smother them by accident.
Another problem can happen when young kittens like to play with children. Kittens have sharp teeth and claws, and when they play, they can get very excited and do a lot of injure to the tender skin of your kids. There is also the possibility for the child to get scratched in the eye when playing with a kitten.
On the other hand, cats can get a hard life from children. Young children often tend to be a little bit heavy-handed when handling cats, and this can lead to nervousness for the cat.
If there are cats and children in the family, then it is a wise decision to teach the children how to handle a cat properly. Children need to be told how to pick up the cat and handle it carefully and also to become alert of when the cat doesn’t want to be handled any longer and would like to be left alone in peace.
Many cats also get quite stressed with loud noise or sound and unexpected action which is something that is quite common with young children.
It is good for children to learn to be understanding towards animals at a young age. They will not only treat animals better but will also be more considerate towards other people, so having a pet in the family that the children can learn to respect can be excellent for
developing better people.
At the end of the day, it is better to teach your children rather than teach a cat to behave. Good luck!
