Cats & Babies


I have a 7 month old who is gradually making his way around the room floor level right in eyes view of the cats
I find myself shouting at them a lot, 'get off', 'watch baby', 'get down'

I feel really bad, but I could never rehome them as they are family and were here before my son was!

Any advise, as I think my eldest tom is peeing in the house out of spite!

We are so panicy about cat hair on little one too and thinking about getting as better vacuum cleaner to handle the pet hair on the carpets

Is it possible to have a happy household still!? Should I worry!?

Re: Cats & Babies


Firstly, cats dont do spite, they have no concept of it.
Maybe he is doing it through stress, stress of the new baby, stress of being shouted at etc. Cats are very sensitive creatures. Maybe this link will help, you can also contact Wizz for advice.

Re: Cats & Babies


Never having had kids cannot comment on this; however many members have small ones and cats; hopefuly someone will be along to offer their advice......Saturdays are usually slow here ......

And the cat is reacting to stress.
