Reluctant but I have to agreed with engku. unless your can supervise your son when handling the cat/kitten. it is actually good to expose children to loves animal in early age. However there are always pros and cons. You will be the best judge.

this is just my humble 2 sen worth opinion  but other ermmm forumers out there...what do u think..? |
