I really don't know what to do about my burmese cat.

I am expecting a baby in March and am really worried about what to do with the cat.

He currently: sleeps in the bed, wakes us up when it gets light by "screaming" AND "screams" when I nap in the day.

He is very clingy and dependant but also very stuborn and I am worried that if we shut him out of the bedroom (due to baby being there, he will simply scream all night. Also worried he will wake the baby (and me) up if we nap at all in the day.

We tried to give him to a very good friend of ours who is a real cat person. He refused to eat, drink or use the litter tray for 3 days, then wet himself all over our friend and scratched him. The friend brought him back as he was worried he would damage himself.

He is now absolutly fine and happy again, but has "won" so will be even harder to rehome again.

He is also a very, very timid cat (though he thinks he isn't) so doesn't deal well with new people/situations.

Any advice? Please!!!

Mojomummy. I have only just seen your message, so I appreciate you may not see that but I want to reply.

You have no idea how diffcult my cat is, I find it very judgmental and patronising of you to say "we just have to take control and within a couple of weeks the problem will be solved". That may be your experience but it certainly isn't mine. What gives you the expertise to be so judgmental about it?
