Pet Parents Advice to Parents

These Pet Parents have given advice to their friend parents of toddlers. How could that be? It is quite surprising how much advice a pet parent can give a friend who has a toddler with behavior issues. Many behavioral issues are comparable.

CatMom used Shoo to help train her Lulu to not bite and puncture her furniture. Her friend's child - a young boy, chewed on the couch. CatMom offered her friend, "Hey, do I have advice for you. You can too use Shoo. Your son will not like to bite the couch. Though, I have no clue of the safety of the chemical for a child." CatMom's friends all love her and live with her. They were surprised there was a product for this. Yes, for a moment, they thought about buying it. That's because their little guy was just as steadfast as Lulu in chewing the couch.

CatMom noticed the child also wanted to exit his home as much as Lulu. She offered, "Grab him while you are exiting the door." She remarked the similarity. Her friend parents acknowledged that one too was a similar behavior. The child loved to grab the knob and help open the door, so he could run outside.

CatMom's friend's child - loves to wander around. CatDad had put in many hours trailing his cat to supervise him out of doors. We were at a lake. CatDad gave the same manner of attention to the child. Together, they wandered an island. He and the child made it far, all the while the child felt safe. Even today, the child jumps and smiles when he sees my husband. He has good memories of explorations out of doors with him. He runs and grabs his leg.

Our friends know our parenting skills are built from owning cats. They accept our advice anyways. That must be love. They are willing to entertain our life expertise built just from that richness that we have.
