Yeap. My 4yr old called every animal he seen a kitty for the first 2 years he was born!Originally Posted by badenzoo
My son's (who is now almost 20) first word was, "cat." I have pictures of myself feeding him, with the cat, who was then tiny, curled up on top of him, when he was about 3 months old.
Our German Shepherd sniffed him gently on the head when I brought him home from the hospital, gave him a little lick on the top of the head and proceeded to protect him throughout her 13 years with us.
If you maintain a clean home, can afford it and pay enough attention to everyone, supervise when necessary-- don't let it bother you what ignorant people say.
