My cat is almost 3 and is the baby of the family. We've had him from being a kitten.
He is a house cat (as we live in close proximity to the motorway), has been neutered and chipped, up to date vaccinations.
He's healthy and uses the litter tray well - no soiling elsewhere.
He likes a love and a fuss on his terms, he'll come to you for a loving.
Only really likes you to stroke him for a little bit and let's you know it's too much by pushing your hand away. And we respect that - he's a living thing with his own mind not a toy.
He loves to play with fishing rod toys and balls and we play everyday. Not hands as he gets too excited and bitey.
When he wants to be on his own he will take himself off to one of his many beds or posts.
Doesn't mind visitors to the house as long as he can stick his head in their shoes. He will usually go upstairs if we have guests - Unless it's fil who he adores and will be a lap cat for.
Basically an all round lovely cat. We have no issues with him.
However, I'm expecting a baby in a few weeks time. And he only has experience of older children and adults who he has always known.
We have set up all the babies things up gradually so it wasn't too much of a shock. Let him smell everything and he knows he isn't allowed in the cot or moses basket. And I've read advice about letting him smell the babies clothes so he can get used to smell of the new person.
I'm just really worried that he's going to upset by the new addition and hoping you all have some extra advice and lovely stories.
