I'm in early pregnancy with DC1. We have two very demanding, devoted and also quite nervous (born feral, rescued as kittens) cats who currently run the house. Girl cat in particular is obsessed with me and follows me round constantly, chatting away, and sits on me at every opportunity.
If all goes well they will be displaced as proxy babies in a few months by an actual baby I'm super excited about the baby but worried the cats' noses may be a bit out of joint.
If you had cats when DC1 was born how did they react? Were they jealous? Did they take it in their stride? I mean, at the end of the day they're pets and the baby matters more but I worry they'll be distressed. Please reassure me that adding a baby to the family isn't necessarily to lead to a Permanent Cat Sulk
