OHHHHHH just don't listen to any of those wives tales about cats and babies!!!!!!!! My sister in law is pregnant with their second child- and they have three cats! My best girlfriend has three dogs and five cats, and a ten month old!! My sister is trying to get pregnant, has three cats, (and a hubby he he) and has no concerns at all! I have six cats, no babies, and have tested positive for toxoplasmosis...go figure, and according to my gyno...will have no worries should I become pregnant.

Having said that, I think as long as the cats (or dogs, or other children) are not abandoned, forgotten, uncared for, it will not be a problem! All cats have different personalities, and with the right training, it shouldn't be an issue. I don't think if I had a real cuddler of a cat that I would let my cat sleep with my newborn...but once the infant reaches nine months, and is big enough to throw the cat off, there shouldn't be any problems. Good luck.
