Cat advice needed...

I'm 22 weeks pg and I'm just trying to plan for when the baby gets here. I have two cats and an open plan house - I built it myself. I have a mezannine bedroom with a 900mm wall all the way around, you can see over the balcony to the living room and kitchen. One of the cats always sleeps on the bed, with an open plan house I can't really stop her (I have tried).

It's not the most ideal house for a baby and we may move in the next year or so but it's a bit too much for me to think about right now.

I'm trying to find ways of cat-proofing the baby before it moves in to the spare room - I could move in there initially if needed but it's very small for three people (it's the only room with a door on in the house).

I've seen cot nets which may possibly help, I thought maybe if I put the moses basket in the cot then I could cut the cat net over the top?

Does anyone have any advice or have experienced anything similar??

As others have said it depends on your cats. My 2 have been terrified of my DD and anything to do with her from the beginning and never go near her or try to jump in her moses basket/cot/pram. At night we always close the dorr to her room just in case - but to be honest it has never been a problem. fact it is quite sad how much my DD loves the cats and how much they run away from her. She laughs out load with delight when she sees them and crawls towards them if she cat - they run to the hills!
