My three kids grew up with cats always and I never really thought much of it. Now I have two young grandbabies and they both have kitties. My newest grandchild is 3 months old and their cat was adopted because the previous owners had a baby - but he is just terrific with the new baby!!

I think the thing that might be the most helpful is giving the kitties lots of attention when you bring the baby home - so they have no reason to feel jealous. My daughter sent home one of Tyler's blankets so that their kitty could smell it before they came home with the new baby.

I have always felt that babies and cats go together beautifully.

Congratulations to you!
