Very grateful for all your response, feedback, concerns for our Cat.
1. Regarding the Cat, we always treat her as part of family - though we pay particular attention not let too much hair to influence our kids - this is definitely necessary.
2. We (My wife and 1) did consider whether Pets can co-exists with children but we decide that "paying attention to status" is much better than total avoidance. We believe having a Pet is good to Kid's growth in all round. "All-round" I mean in terms of mentally and physically. But this is just a personal decision. I guess people can have their own choices.
3. Actually, our kid is more scary to the cat than the cat is scary to kids...if you have pets and a 2 year old boy you know what I am saying
4. We feel great gratitude to 鏍絲 who is always so thoughtful to others' interest, in particula to our kids for this time... No matter we take his advice or not - Thank you 鏍絲
5. The cat - we are hoping to stay with it a bit longer - at least let her have peaceful and happy life remaining. Whether would have another Pet. Probably not soon.
Afterall the topics is to share what I feel about 'a long time friend with seriously illness'
- rather than "whether Pet is good with children at home..."
