So, in the "cat's" house there was a child. Any young mum disturbs, whether the kid with a cat will make friends, whether will be scratched or bitten, whether will pick up any illness from an animal. About the last it is necessary to know, that if the cat is healthy and has received all necessary inoculations dialogue with it as is safe for the kid, as well as for the adult. Naturally, since the earliest childhood it is necessary to accustom the child to observance of hygienic rules: to wash hands before meal and after dialogue with a cat, not to be dug in the cat's toilet, where anything interesting and so you will not find. How the cat-old resident can react to occurrence in the house of the baby? Most likely, it will carefully sniff at the kid and can "stroke" a soft pad. After all this tiny creation so is interesting and is unfamiliar! The child too for certain will become interested in a cat and will twist eyes, observing for it. Whether it is necessary to start up a cat in a cot? Each mum should solve this question. If the cat has got used to spend the night together with the mistress and has from the bottom of the heart grown fond of the child under its pacified rumbling the kid will be more sweet to sleep. However if the cat is in playful mood it is better to close a door in a nursery: cat's "races on a vertical" will not allow to the kid to fall asleep easy. If to a cat allow to spend with the baby a lot of time it is not necessary to be surprised, that cat becomes for the kid the most close being, and "pussycats-pussycats" or a name of a cat will be its first words. The cat can become attached so to the baby that will not depart from it for a minute, and to leave quickly to mum if he has woken up. Fables about bad influence of a cat on the child it is similar to medieval prejudices that a cat - the servant of a devil, and are absolutely insolvent.

The kid it is necessary to learn to address with a cat yours faithfully and love then the animal will answer it the with the same. If others on a visit come kids it is necessary to observe of their games and not to allow small visitors of cruelty concerning a cat: after all many children know animals only on pictures and from animated cartoons. The four-five years' child can be accustomed to care муркой: for example, to make its duty to change potable water for an animal in the morning and in the evening or to learn to comb the cat's fur. So the kid will not only consider a cat as the friend, but also to understand, that it is necessary to care of it. Teachers and psychologists assert, that dialogue with a cat, as well as with other pets, positively influences spiritual development of the child. Children who are growing up in the "cat's" family, are quieter and calm. Supervision over animals - the fine game developing an outlook and mental faculties of kids and allowing in practice to learn many laws of the nature. Besides, since small years children are accustomed to care about "brothers smaller". And, certainly, small "cat lover", at all not having brothers and sisters, will never feel lonely - after all with it always nearby the mewing and tender friend!
