Cats generally recognize babies between 7 and 10 years old. Cats are very timid pets. After entering a new home and coming into contact with a new owner, they will have fear and stress reactions for a period of time. The owner needs to give the cat a period of time to familiarize itself with the environment. With new people, cats will take the initiative to get close to their owners when they feel safe and not in danger. This situation will improve in about a week.
