How old are your children, if you don't mind me asking? You seem to be able to take care of many things in your home quite calmly. [emoji]128526[/emoji]I guess I was just following Elsa's lead as I don't want her being at all stressed so it just made sense. I pointed out to the boys that while she was relatively relaxed (lying off on the floor), she was still a bit anxious because her tail was flicking at the end.
They could see this themselves so it wasn't a case that I was being mean by not letting them too near the kittens, it was Elsa's choice.
They know that they will see the kittens and hold them etc when they are a little older. And they get to see lots of photos and videos each day too.
It's their first experience of tiny kittens so they are really in awe. [emoji]128525[/emoji]
