My cat is a lockdown kitten and she follows me everywhere, we go to bed at night and wake up together in the morning. I didn't have plans to get pregnant when we got our kitten and have always treated her like a child. Anyway... now I'm pregnant and I'm petrified about 2 things:
1.) the cat sneaking into the baby's cot and accidentally smothering it
2.) the cat feeling depressed and lonely especially in the first 6 months
Our cat is natural and now we plan to let her have one litter before we spay her now - so we can keep one kitten and let her have some company / understood motherhood / be distracted milking herself at the same time. Making it easier to shut her downstairs and obviously out of baby's room without her feeling left out.
- Has anyone got any tips from experience for me of having a very spoilt cat and having a first baby?
- Are there any monitoring devices I can buy to give me some reassurance / peace of mind which check a baby's face is never covered etc.
- Are there any animal nets for by the side cots? I don't see how they work when you need to take the side down in the early days..
