So we picked up our lovely new rescue cat today. He is great, very bold and friendly. He keeps trying to get into baby's room and has got into her cot though, and has batted at her with his claws a bit too (playfully). She is 13 months (the baby, not the cat. He is 4). As baby won't sleep with door completely shut (can't even begin to list her many sleep foibles - another thread entirely) I think I will have to shut the cat in the little utility room over night (house is v open plan so can't really shut him anywhere more spacious). I feel terrible but think its the only way. In a few weeks when he's ready to go out we will install a cat flap and so he can go in and out and have utility room to be cosy in at night if he wants to be. But for now it is just the utility. Is this cruel? Will he trash the room? I am stressing out big time over it and cannot sleep :(
