Your cat is an adorable little fur ball and no one is more aware of this than the children in your home. How can you teach them to respect your pet’s boundaries?

Your cat loves attention every now and then, but she will likely want some time on her own as well. This means that she wants to be able to get some time alone and will show signals that this is the case. Teach your children about these signs so they can learn to recognize them and find something else to do until your pet is ready to interact. Make firm rules, like no touching the cat when she is sleeping or making her bed an area you don’t spend time around. Also, proper supervision will go a long way in keeping your pet safe and happy. Your local London, ON veterinarian can offer additional guidance.
