Hi
Im due in March and am looking for some advice on how to get my cat ready for our new arrival. We also move to a new house next week so was going to try to start his new routine then? The main problem that im not sure how to deal with is the fact that hendrix loves to be where the people are!! He has always slept in the bed with us, loving to sleep on our pillow for the company and warmth it provides. When we first had him we tried to shut him out of the bedroom at night but it was a nightmare! He scratched the door until we let him in. Obviously with the new baby we cant risk having him sleep in with us anymore as the baby will be in our room and we can not take the risk that he will try to get in and sleep with the baby. How do we go about this? He is going to hate the fact that he no longer gets to sleep with us and we want to make this as easy on him as possible - would hate for him to feel left our totally when the baby comes along. How do we go about this, all advice much appreciated, we love our cat very much and are very worried about this.
Thanks
