Dealing With a Spoiled Cat
Posted: 06-22-06 14:40pm

About a month ago we bought a new
glider/ottoman set for nursing the baby.
Of course, our pampered beast of a cat
fell in love with the thing. She pretty
much assumes we bought it just for her.
we're having the crib delivered in a
couple of weeks, and i'm a bit nervous
about my kitty. I really don't want her
thinking it's okay to jump into the crib.
Any suggestions?

Get a crib net or cot net depending on the
size to deter her,they are also ideal for
the summer in case of wasps etc

What a beautiful cat. I had one just like
it ! I would be very careful with the cat
around the baby.....I don't trust them
especailly if they get jealous....Try
keepin the door closed at all times and
scold her when she goes close to the crib
but that might make it make jealous.....

Spoiled Cat

Hi,
i was worried about the same thing and I
was told to put tin foil anywhere that you
don't want the cat to go. They don't
like the feel of it on their paws, (you
could set the crib up before the baby gets
here and try it then). I was also told
to get bitter apple spray from the pet
store, but this won't work on the crib.
My cats freak when a door is closed so
that doesn't work for me.
Good luck

Her name is .Asia. She's pretty
stubborn... Definitely used to being the
center of attention. She's gotten pretty
mad at me over the last few months since I
don't let her sleep on my stomach anymore.
I'll probably look into getting a crib
net... Not sure if I want to cover the
crib in tin foil just yet. :)

Yeah that sounds like a good idea.. My
cats pretty spoilt too hes a big person
kitty.. Cept he dosnt stay still lol..
How old is your kitty? Mines 7 months..
My baby is due around the time my kitty
was probably born so he gets to be a year
older then the baby.. I guess ill
probably have to get something for the
crib too wewu gets into everything..
Though when hes at shawns house his moms
cats beat on him..

My cat is the same way. We live in a
basement appartment for the time being and
the only door we have is out back door and
our bathroom door.
My cat jumped in the baby crib 2 times I
just screeched my voice real loud and the
good old squirt bottle did wonders. We
have had our cat for 8 years and he has
been the only baby until now well until
the end of august when haley lane will be
born. My cat is all four declaw but he
has a mean slap, I just hope he accepts
the new baby.

We have 4 cats....... I know, right? I'm
nervous also what they're going to do when
the baby is born. Although it's quite a
ways away.. 3 of the 4 are incredibly
spoiled &have complete run of the
household. They may calm down a little by
march, they're young kittens, now.
Thackery will be 1 next month. Versace is
5 months. Asia is 3 months, almost 4, .I
believe. &.Peaches is old &fat
&she's 6 years old. Lol. But .I'm
even more nervous because when the baby is
born, we very well may still be living in
my boyfriend's very very small, cramped
trailer. :/

Be careful witht he cats around the
baby.They like baby milk a lot and will
lick the babys mouth and can possibly
suffocate it.I would get a net or keep the
act completly out of the room

Because cats make a mad dash thru an open
door every cahnce they get, then hide
under a bed or behind a dresser til the
coast is clear.

&.Besides, you can't always
keep the door closed 24/7. There's going
to be times, no matter what, when the door
is open.

And since when do gates keep cats out?
Don't they just jump over it? Unless you
have a gate like a screen door that's
taking up the entire doorway or stairway.

Well u have to use ur common sense when
opening the gate dont u, open it a little
and if cat runs upstairs bedroom door will
be shut so u can shoo the cat down stairs
and shut gate . Come bk up see to ur
baby. Ect ect or if u that worried. Dont
have so many cats
