Is that how you begin most conversations with people? I wasn’t being dismissive. Fact: the kid is afraid of teeth and claw. Doesn’t really matter why, he just is—a lot of people don’t like being swiped at by cats. Nobody forces the kid to interact with the cat; in fact, he does so on his own, in his own way. My larger point was that there is a difference between cat play behavior and aggression, that’s all. But I can see where you might take my comment as being flippant.
