How do I choose a cat that will be good with my kids?
If you are wanting to get a cat for your kids and they are old enough to be responsible and they all pledge and promise they will help you take care of the cat then there is this interesting theory created by an animal behaviorist called the cat face geometry invented by Kit Jenkins. If you are getting a mixed breed or a random breed of cat and you look at the face of the cat, the majority of cats tend to have a triangle face like a Siamese cat; these are the kind of cats that are up for anything and are full of energy, they can be leash walked, and you know your kids can teach them cool tricks. The second kind of cat face geometry is the square face. They tend to be more like the maine coon cats. These cats are mellow; therefore everything's cool, lots of kids running around, TV on, and I don't care do whatever you want. Then the third kind of cat face geometry are the round face. And they tend to be more like Persians in personalities. They're the ones that you can turn the volume down a little bit on your stereo if it is really too loud. They tend to be more in quiet homes. So when you are making that call take a look at the cat's face it may help you in picking the right personality for your kids.
