My boy Willow loves his mum best but his sister, Gemma, is a real daddy's girl.
Does anyone else's cats have preferences?

I definately have a preference. I love one cat more than the other. One is really friendly and the other one bites me if I go near her!

Our cat adores my daughter, he'll even take tablets out of her hand and eat them to please her

That sounds really sweet. I don't have any children but I do wonder if I was to have children in the future how the cats would react to them.. does your daughter get on well with the cats..I always thought that cats would get annnoyed with children and leave them alone..

My cat is around 6 to seven (not sure as he is a rescue cat). When i first brought him home he was nervouse of everyone. The only child at that time was a friends baby which never fazed him at all. However that child has grown up & my five yr old grandaughter comes around often & Quincy only runs for cover if they get noisy or run around after each other. He loves his peace & quiet.

I have just come back from holidays to find my cat has finally accepted my grandaughter(5) petting him. All because we told her before i went away that he was not feeling very good. I had been watching her dog while she was away and that her dog had chased and hurt him. She now goes to him very gentle and quiet and knows that if she is noisy or running around then he will not let her near him. Like all children animals too need time to adjust to each other. As long as you do it in stages and gently there is no reason why your cat would not get on with children. Especially if you don't ignore him when the babies do come along. Just be carefull as the smell of milk does atract them to babies. They don't mean any harm but can do it without meaning to.
