I have two cats and am 28 weeks pregnant.
Currently our cats sleep in our room, on our bed.
I wouldn't dream of doing something that's unsafe for baby, so I was looking for advice on how you managed your cats and a newborn.
Did you shut the cats out of your bedroom, if baby was sleeping in with you?
Did you use "cat nets" to prevent cats getting into baby's crib?
How is it humanly possible to keep cats away from baby and baby's things?
Case in point, I bought home our moses basket (haven't got the mattress yet) and one of the cats jumped in it and snuggled down immediately. I got him out and then turned the moses basket upside down. Came back 5 minutes later and he was asleep on the upturned moses basket looking pleased with himself..
I can't always have our room off limits for the cats as it is the only room with access to the garden where they go in and out of everyday..
