Hello my lovelies!
So I have an (almost) 4 year old and an (almost) 2 year old.
From the time they were babies we have had to actively teach them to be gentle with our cats.
Leska and Bisky have never been anything but friendly with the babies, as with most Siberians, they are gentle, sociable, friendly animals and perfect for families. Even though they don't get as much attention as before, they seem happy enough, as they have each other.
The older one, Leska, gets annoyed sometimes (for example if his tail gets a yank from the 2 year old). The younger one, Bisky, is more playful and kitten like and will even play with our kids.
All in all, I definitely recommend Siberians for young families!
