Tabitha Mellor and on the other hand some cats love babies and can protect them from danger. Theres no reason to get rid of a cat because of a baby its just a case of being sensible. If cat sleeps in babys cot then shut the door! Its not all one way it depends on the cat and having seen my neice grow up with a protective cat I would quite honestly say anyone with a brain will know to keep cat and baby spearate unless youre there.....Sorry hun I hope all goes well
Ahhh and here we go... I was polite dont you think?

I think too many people listen to the old wives tales :doh: thankfully she seemed positive in her response and she right, many cats do adjust to children or it they're anything like mine when a child happens to visit, they just steer clear :evillaugh:
I heard that a cat possibly sits on the baby, due to its baby smells (probably warmth too lol) and the smell of milk and they sit on them to protect them, like they would have the kittens all snuggled in. How true this is, is anyones guess - but i repeat it to people as if it were fact just to disspell this myth that cats somehow evil and are setting out on some sort of baby culling spree by smothering them all :Crazy:
like you said in your reply, you just shut the door to the babys room/cot and its being a reponsible owner and parent :)
