Kids under 13 y/o and cats

Jpawz, good job on being diplomatic. That type of thing really makes me mad. But what's even worse???? Seeing the adults running after birds trying to kick them. I had to yell at someone in Boston doing that.

People get so defensive in those situations that you get more flies with honey, as the saying goes

Yeah, people can really suck. Adults who mistreat animals are the worst kind of character, imo. That kind of person is just as likely to abuse a child (or anyone weaker).

Ghandi once said something about being able to judge the character of man by how he treats animals. Pretty smart guy

I'm sure glad that our local animal shelter didn't have the rule of "no kids under 13" when I was a kid. I was lucky enough to have dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and anything else that followed me home.
Blanket statements like "no kids under 13" are unfair.
