Thank youu, that makes me feel much better(: my kitty is a mamas girl but shes been staying alot closer to me lately so hopefully this is a good sign
We had five cats when our first baby came home. One became her protector, and the others were a bit curious. During my pregnancy, one of the cats (who was previously rather aloof) was more loving and affectionate. Nothing else really changed at all. I think things will be fine.
Thank you! that is very helpful. Hubbys not too happy but hes on kitty litter duty for the next 9 months(:. I will definiatly have him bring home a blanket like you said before i come home. Ive heard the milk thing about cats too, thatconcerns me because i dont want her trying to sit on my babys head or attacking him/her. I'll see what I can find out about techniques for keepong the cat out of the crib while he/she is sleeping. Thats good to hear about dogs though. My puppy is the baby of the family right now so i was concerned about jealousy.
Well first off I must say please keep in mind now that your pregnant you shouldnt be changing kitty litter, its a big no-no. Our roomates had a cat when I was pregnant and he loved laying on my belly :) I would introduce a blanket that baby has been wrapped in to your kitty and puppy before you come home from hospital. I havent had much experience with cats but (not to scare you) I heard you have to watch them because they can smell milk on babies and can be a hazard. Puppies/dogs arent as possesive but its best to have hubby/boyfriend come home first to have them get used to babys scent. Hope its helpful info ;)
