Could not resist having a bit of fun with this thread. Sirrahsim in the above post is my daughter, Missy -
here she is when she was about 2 1/2 with RB Ernie
same kitty when Missy was about 4 or so...
and finally the week before she got married...he was her kitty all her life!
edit:
I do NOT mean to be at all critical of the original question - I can understand the concern. I just feel that the wonderful part of having kitties and babies is sooo worth the potential concerns. Cat hair can be controlled as much as possible and like others have said - yes the cats will get into the crib and bassinet when it is new. But I do not think that same cat will think it is fun once there is a noisy baby in there. One of my cats DID continue to get in the crib with my oldest son - but never slept on him - though did like to cuddle close.
When my granddaughter was very young - I did watch like a hawk until I knew how each kitty would react to her. As it turns out, one of my cats, Lizzie has adored her since she was born (go figure!!) and now that the "baby" is a toddler - they are still the best of friends. Lizzie will bop her with a paw if she gets her fur pulled too hard. Misha (grandbaby) has learned she must be very gentle with animals and has four kitties of her own....and a big dog.
So, please try not to be nervous - that baby and your two kitties will be lots of fun to watch as they grow together. I hope you post pictures
