Maybe it’s just me, but I’m puzzled as to why she thinks that her children need a kitten as a present? Hamster, gerbil, something else small and furry ..... with less responsibility, and (sorry if I offend) but with a fairly limited shelf life maybe? Any pet is a responsibility, and whilst I’m all for children being part of a pet support bubble, I don’t believe that the average five or eight year old can comprehend fully the ins and outs of pet ownership.
A kitten becomes a cat, and they may achieve a grand old age ....... get a kitten/cat certainly, but as a ‘family’ present please, and do consider a preloved
urgh there is another big insta mum who is buying her son a kitten for his birthday. I really hate that they think it’s ok to give small children animals as gifts!! It’s really not ok.
And the whole ‘oooh we’ll obviously be getting one from a shelter’ quickly added on at the end is bullshit.
