Oh, Masaki, I love that Shadow allows Marika some Kitty Latitude! I think that you expose a dog or cat to all kinds of situations, including children, then you've done the right thing by the kid and the dog (or cat)!
I chose my dog Daisy based on all the exposure she had as a new puppy to people - kids, other dogs, things like vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers. How sad for that Lab! He's missing out on so much.
