Tammy, that's very true. The cats were here when the grandkids were born, so they will be together for as long as the cats have. Even at 3 years old, my grandson knows to be very gentle with the cats. They are the first thing he looks for when he comes here. have to wait a bit for my granddaughter yet, she's only 3 months old.
Purrs,
