I have a 9-year-old daughter and I have tried everything to get her to be nice to our cats. I have punished and yelled and scolded and taken privelages away and spanked...nothing works. She will squeeze them, pull tails, and choke hold them. It is breaking my heart but it looks like the only humane thing to do is to give the cats away to good homes. Has anyone ever gone through this with children? How do I keep my animals and keep them safe?
