参考答案：C

参考解析：

细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“So a mother or father who has ever cared for pets is likely to be more patient and understanding with their children as well, and especially to avoid making negative or rude remarks in the presence of children, no matter how young.”可知，曾照顾过宠物的母亲或父亲有可能对自己的孩子更有耐心、会更理解他们，尤其在孩子面前会避免说消极或粗鲁的话，不管孩子多小。由此可推知，照顾宠物会使“我们”自己以及孩子的性情变得更温和。故选C。
