I work with a girl who has 2 two yr old spayed and declawed male cats. She also has a 11mos old son who is active and learning to crawl and walk. Yesterday she said she was going to get rid of one of the cats if he bit her son again. She said that her son corners the cat and the cat bit the childs face. She also said yhe cat will go after the boy to bite him if he walks (or crawls) away. I told her that she should not leave the baby alone with the cat or cats at any time. Her reply was "well what should I do lock the cats in a basement '' Does anyone have suggestions about what to advice her in a gentle way since she has an explosive attitude. As for a second thought it amazes me how stupid people are...she should not leave the 11mos old boy with any pet. I told her that the cat was threatened by being cornered and will bite since her is clawless. It is a matter of time before she asks me to take the cat.
