Hello all. I'm not terribly new to the world of cats. As a matter of fact I have had three cats in my lifetime and all have done exceptionally well in my care. But now I'm 39 and have a daughter that's just about to turn 5 and I would love to get her a kitten (well, not just for her). While I'm not new to cats or cat-care, I am completely ignorant where it comes to breeds. The three that I have owned before had all been strays off the street. I'm now looking for something a little different that the "ordinary" cat NOT that I think there is anything wrong with the "ordinary" cat, mind you). I found this board and I'm here hoping I can get some answers. So let's start;
I see a lot of small dog breeds. Is there something similar in a breed of cat that will stay small/smallish?
My first question not withstanding, what are some of the "better" or more suitable breeds that are compatible with young children?
What is the consensus on declawing and "fixing" the cat?
I think with the answers I get from those questions I will be pointed in the right direction.
Thanks.
