I'm 16 weeks pregnant and planning for the new arrival. One of my concerns is that I have two indoor cats. Like all cats, they are inquisitive and playful and whilst they have never hurt anyone, I am getting a bit worried.
I read somewhere that a baby should never be left alone in the same room as cats, but I don't see how this is possible! I'm also concerned about the cats jumping into the cot when I'm not there to stop them.
Has anyone got any experience of this? Any suggestions for what to do? I love my cats more than anything, and the last thing I want is to get rid of them, but obviously my baby has to take priority.
Thanks.
