Well , I think it’s a good idea to let kids sit on the cat. They’ll only do it once, and learn to not piss of cats. I have scars. I do not mess with cats that are making angry sounds. They like me, because I am patient with them. I have cat friends that won’t let anyone (especially kids!) touch them because of bad experience with people. I can hold them and pet them and they’ll enjoy it. So I guess I do something right. Cannot remember why I have those scars, but I know it’s a cat.. maybe I wanted to touch some cat that didn’t want to..
