I am not a believer in that cats will suck the breath from a baby and lick the milk off the babies mouth(as if I wouldn't clean my own babies mouth?)...So many people get rid of cats because they think their cats will hurt the new baby. I'd be more worried about a dog,than a cat! I know little kids aren't good around cats if they mistreat them(not on porpose)and little kids move fast,etc....
My 6yr old son LOVES cats,and has never had any problems with being around one. He treats them nicely/respectfuly. I understand that just like a dog, an older cat will expereince changes with a new baby(since cats dont like change,right?) Well,we got a kitten and I'm having a baby. We are setting up all the babystuff right now,and he will be here within a week or two. Kitty will still be VERY young(6-8wks),so will he REALLY notice the change? I think it would be easier for him(being so young)compared to having an older (established)cat that is more receptive to the changes. He is not big enough to jump/climb into the crib,etc....
Has anyone had a cat grow up with their child? I mean kitten and newborn....growing up together...Im not worried,but just curious.
