Aaron asked:


I am about to have my first child and I want to make sure that my cat is introduced properly to her. What is the best way to go about introducing them before my baby is here? What about once there are both living together? The cat is a 3 year old cat who sometimes lives outside. I know he doesn’t like dogs very much who have come to visit.
We are having a home birth but the cat won’t be here for it. He will be returning after the baby is born.

my cats only walk around and look at our son, so why did the pediatrician flip out about 3 cats being in house?

mommy to a sweet little man asked:


I know that cats can suffocate a baby without realizing that they are doing harm, but all 3 cats just stroll around and watch our son. Occasionally they might walk up when we are holding him and smell of his feet or something but that’s it. Even after we explained this, the pediatrician still had problems with there being cats in the house.

BTW, the cats are not allowed into our room where the crib is at.
