Teach a Kid to Bond with Cats

Sunday June 8, 2008
It comes as no surprise that the future of our planet and the creatures we share it with depends on what young people are learning today. Certainly, we are horrified to read the occasional story about gangs of youths committing atrocities on innocent cats, and we are aware that this kind of anti-social behavior often leads to violent criminal activity as adults.

The good news is that youngsters are like sponges when it comes to absorbing values, and even those who do not have good role models at home can be reached through their schools and through social programs. What they learn today about respect and responsibility for not only pet cats and dogs, but for all the animals that share our planet, will go a long way in molding the future of our world.
