Kids and the New Kitten: Sharing a home with two kinds of toddlers

Lena Fairwood

A new kitten and a small child are both curious, both unpredictable, and both convinced the house belongs to them. This is the guide for that overlapping chaos: how to introduce them so neither feels cornered, teaching gentle hands without dampening a child's excitement, reading a kitten's early warning signs, and setting up spaces where claws and small fingers stay out of each other's way. Warm, sensible, and easy to put into practice.
