I slept in my crib with tiny every night from pretty much day one. I wasn't ever hurt.

Studies also show that babies that are raised with cats are less likely to have severe allergies ans asthma. Sounds like a benefit to me.

If Ron or Raven like to sleep on your head (some cats do) then I'd be careful to make sure they don't get into the crib. But if they sleep at the foot of the bed, whats the problem if they crawl into the crib? Mom says Tony watched over me like a hawk. I was his baby too. We had a bond so strong that I still miss him today.
