Can cats smell babies?

Weird question...

We have what we think is a farm cat who spends most of her time in our garden and occasionally has sneaked into the house. She likes a stroke and is quite friendly but it’s always been very much on her terms and she was always very easily startled.

DS was born last week and she has become OBSESSED with getting into the house and seems really interested in the baby. She’s also become really confident and friendly and just wants to rub up against us and will happily climb on top of the furniture just to get to us. Obviously we are now trying to stop her getting in, as much as it breaks my heart, as she’s not our cat and we can’t predict her behaviour and don’t want to turn around and find her on top of DS! Plus I’m 99% sure she has fleas.

She has been sitting outside our back door meowing all evening! Is it the baby or could she just be looking for somewhere warm to stay now the weather is getting cooler? It’s so odd!

We're just moving this to The Litter Tray at OP's request.
