Cats and kids

Tweet

First an experience then a question When I was growing up I lived with cats from a very young age so young infact that when my parents brought me home from the hospital they also brought home my cat his name was Happy he was a ginger tom cat and he grew up along side me till i was 10 years old and we lost him in a house fire. Story for another day. There was me who loved on my cat , gave him breathing room , fed him took him out to the bathroom and made sure he was a spoiled cat. Then when i was 10 years old my sister entered the world and my sister was a cats worst nightmre She would pick up the cat mid walk , mid eating , mid sleeping etc you get the picture . My sister would go out of her way to hunt the cat down like a hunter and her prey. Whenever the cat would see my sister it would take off in the opposite direction ussually to hide under either my bed or my parents bed on the far side closest to the wall where my sister couldnt reach it. My sister would hold the cat like a prisoner and the only time the cat got peace was when my sister was sleeping or my sister was out of the house for school or with my parents. My question for all of you cat lovers out there how do i teach my 13 year old and 17 year old daughters to be more like me and not like my sister?
