Re: Pets, Kids and Families (X-Post from GD forum)
Thomas, one of my cats, has always shown great dislike for men and anyone under five. (We adopted him when he spent months living by out steps...) Our guess with his issues with men is former abuse. I was really concerned with Monkey on the way, but decided if need be, Thomas would spend a lot of time locked in a bedroom 'til he figured out anywhere high was safe. Literally from the day Monkey came home, Thomas has loved him! On the rare occasions Monkey naps in his crib, I have to watch and make sure Thomas doesn't join him! He'll tolerate just about anything and when he's done he just walks away. In the past, he's always had a breaking point. I can only name 3 times ge's bitten, but the victims really deserved it!
