When I had my kitties 30- 40 years ago I was told I shouldn't get pregnant because they'd kill the baby. Of course like all old wives tales it was wrong. The only thing I did have to watch was the cats liked sleeping in the bassinett because it and the baby was warm and they loved the smell of the milk. I just made sure to put a net over the bassinett so the kitties didn't curl up on my baby's face and make it so he couldn't breath. I also made the nursury off limits when I wasn't around. -- Message posted via CatKB.com http://www.catkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx...ealth/200702/1 |

I already had 2 cats when I had my first baby. We never had a problem, and somewhere around here I have a pic of a toddler laying on a very happy kitty (but no scanner, oh well). I taught my son at a very early age how to play with my cats safely (chasing flashlights was their favorite game), and of course kept kitty claws trimmed since babies have such tender skin. My cats loved my babies (so did my dog). Just don't neglect your kitties after the new baby arrives and they will be fine. The only real concern you need to be aware of is the risk of contracting toxoplasmosis while you are pregnant, and passing it along to your baby. You should NOT be cleaning litter boxes, though at this point in your pregnancy (3rd trimester) the risk is not as great. Congratulations! -- Lynne |

They also make netting that covers the crib like a dome to keep the cats out.
Allows you to not worry when the baby is sleeping in the crib and you are not in the room. nay wrote: Hi everyone.

I am a firm believer that shutting the door, keeping animals OUT, and using a baby monitor is the only safe thing to do. -- Lynne |
