introducing my cats to my twin granddaughters
My twin granddaughters are 2 weeks old, my daughter is going to be going
back to work soon. How do I introduce my cats to them or better yet, how do I make sure that they are safe with the cats? Ali -- Message posted via CatKB.com http://www.catkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx...ealth/200506/1 |

Ali -- Message posted via CatKB.com http://www.catkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx...ealth/200506/1 If you are going to have a crib in your house, I suggest a crib tent over the crib. This will keep the cats out. If you will be using a Pack N Play as a portable crib, they also come with tents that are designed for outdoor use, but you could use that inside to keep the cats out. Before the babies' first visit, bring something to your home that smells like them, like a blanket or a onesie from each. Let the cats smell it so they get familiar with their scent. While the babies are over, don't ignore the cats. Make sure they are still getting plenty of love and attention. Don't freak if your cats sniff the babies or approach, but always make sure interactions are supervised. Chances are the cats will sniff them and ignore. -Kelly |

Kelly,
I thank you so much. I will be using both a crib and a Pack N play. I will be sure to have my daughter bring some of the twins clothes over to get them used to the scent. Thank You again Kelly.
