Cats seem to have a lot more patience around small childs. When I was very young, our cat was also really loving chill.

But it was basically a wildcat and chill the entire time.

It really depends on the cat and how safe it feels. An anxious cat and an unpredictably flailing or grabbing small child are a recipe for scratches and tears. On one hand, that's a great practical lesson about how important it is to be gentle and to respect others' space. On the other, NOT THE EYES KITTY.

Cats are generally cool with things that are quiet, slow-moving, and not overly grabby. I think that's why some like infants. Toddlers, not so much.



Edit: Bonus french bulldog puppy disregarding all those cat etiquette rules and acting so happy about it!

Seconded. My buddy recently got a kitten for his two-year-old daughter, and wisely went with my family's inbred clowder of farm cats. Princess, the one on top here, has only two settings: Sedate, happy, sitting on your chest and buzzing, and I HAVE FORGOTTEN THE TASTE OF YOUR FINGERS. She's drawn blood from me on more than one occasion, including when I just pick her up gently. She'll even chase the other cat in the picture all around the house. But when the wee baby Lizzie grabs her around the middle, Princess will quite gently push her away, being very careful not to use claws. Even when she's locked in Lizzie's room with her, she apparently is still shockingly gentle about getting away from the grabby monster-child.

My fake aunt (friend of my parents who plays an aunt-like role in my life) has a beautiful silver tabby British shorthair, and she is the only cat I've ever known that genuinely hates me. Fake aunt tries to protest that Lulu hates everyone except her, but others have noted that she reserves particular loathing and scorn for me.
Sigh.

It makes sense considering that group of lizards is partly arboreal. Seeing it happen in an apartment setting, however, is somewhat surreal.

Fake edit: I just looked it up, and apparently tegu lizards aren't directly related to monitor lizards like I thought. Weird.
