When you think of a good family pet, the first animal you probably picture is a dog. But dogs aren’t the only kind of animals that are good with kids. Cats can also be very sweet and nurturing towards the younger members of their family. Many cats love curling up with their human siblings for a nap, and they also like playing games with them.
