Do you think it is an good idea to bring a cat to a school to meet small children?
Here's some background info. My cat Willie a Siamese 9 month old kitty is very outgoing. I've never met a cat like him. We had a party the other day for my Dad's birthday and we had over 25 people here and he was out mingling with the guests right under foot. When my friends come over Neko goes and hides but Willie prances over and gives them a good leg rub (or face rub if they are kneeling) and sometimes even jumps on to their shoulders.
Me and my mom are teaching an after school class on how to take care of pets. Each week she does a different animal. We will do rodents, reptiles, dogs and cats. I will bring in my gerbils, leopard Gecko, uncles dog and I was thinking about bringing Willie. The kids are gentle and listen well. I brought in the gerbils last year and everything went well. So do you think it will work? If I do bring him should I put him on a leash (he is not leash trained but I can put a harness on and see how he feels about it).
Also is there anything I should do to prepare him (besides leash training)?
