Freedom. That's something that we believe in. The freedom to express yourself, the freedom to do what you want to do. We believe in all of that… up until it comes to our cats. Then, there are rules. Our houses, our cats, our rules. And that should be okay. There are certain things that cats can't eat, and there are plants that are poisonous to cats that you shouldn't bring home in bouquets, and, as should be obvious, there are certain things that you are not allowed to do to cats. Like pull their tails.
And so we are fine with gentle parenting. Generally. We're fine with that freedom - for the parents and their kids, that is their choice. Up until it comes to our cats. You can gentle-parent all you want, but pulling on our cat's tails repeatedly is not one of the freedoms that you are allowed to have. Not in our homes, not with our cats.
