First time I see my friends cat it walks up to me slowly, goes up my leg and digs in the claws deep. I avoid cats. And I would never let my children near them. They have evil minds and emotions and it rubs off a bit on their owners. If they are kept inside, they make the air stink , it is very unhealthy to breathe this. If your cat was the size of a big dog, you wouldn't be alive today.( Not saying dogs are good)
