Animals have a profound effect on the development of children’s characters. Living with them gradually promotes a sense of responsibility and consideration for animals, which in turn leads to consideration for other people. Many children, who do not come into contact with animals early enough or have them to care for and look after, develop an attitude towards them as a result of which they retain a life-long fear of animals.
Mouse- and rat-catching used to be the reason for keeping cats, but nowadays they are primarily kept as pets, except on the land and in institutions, factories and large store places. Often this task has been superseded by the use of chemical agents (which may sometimes endanger the cats themselves).
