Need some advice about baby and cat?

My husband was holding my 7 week old son yesterday and he was kicking around and being playful. He kicked in the cat's general direction that was curled up in my husband's lap and she turned around and scratched him 3 times on the leg pretty bad. She has also jumped on top of his stomach when he is laying down like she was using him as a trampoline to jump into a window. She also has a habit of trying to sleep right in between my husband and I at night, so when I was laying down with the baby in bed next to me ( I know, bad bad bad) she curled up between us. Instead of being completely between us, she had curled up and completely covered his face with her body. thank god I was still awake at the time. Is it time to get rid of her or is there hope to get her to recognise that he is a baby and not just an object? I love the cat to death, but not more than I love my son. Any advice would be appreciated.Need some advice about baby and cat?
Sometimes Animals are like humans and get jealous.


Maybe pay the cat a little more attention and introduce the baby %26amp; cat to each other.


It might sound weird but it's true.


For the time being keep the cat away from your baby in a room and read some websites to see how you can introduce the cat to the baby.


If it doesn't work maybe see if a friend or family would have your cat until the baby is older.

Your cat is just like another child. It sounds like it is jealous of your relationship with yourself and the baby. Try to spend some time on your own with the cat and not the baby.





Sounds so crazy I know. But only do this if you really want to keep the cat. If you don't want the cat then there is no point trying and you should find a nice happy home for it.





Good Luck
You need to make it clear to the kitty that she is not allowed near the baby. Shut her out of your bedroom at night, get a crib net for the babies crib, and squirt her with water when she gets near the baby when he is playing on the floor or in his bouncer.
if the cat hops in the crib with the kiddo i would buy a crib tent to keep the cat. my cats kept hopping in the crib so that kept them out. for the other things get a water gun and shoot the cat with water everything he goes around your son. if push comes to shove you can get your car declawed. i have to get my cat declawed because she won't stop using her claws on kiddo when they play together so now she gonna lose them. i don't think you'll have to get rid of the cat but take some time so the cat can get use to the new addition to the house.
when the cat does something wrong yell at the cat and lock it in a bedroom for a few minutes. That is what I did. (i have 2 cats) and for god sakes don't let the cat sleep in the same room as the baby.
rid the cat before it's too late. no prejudice to the cat... but... before something goes wrong...
No...to the cat he is just a nice warm hot water bottle..and one with interesting smells...get rid of the cat or ensure he is never in the same room as baby....and get a cat net to put over his cradle.
Since you don't want to get rid of the cat, pay more attention to your it. It's feeling left out, you and you husband spend most of your time with your baby. Play with the cat and your baby at the same time. Until the kitty gets used to your baby, keep his bedroom door shut, or keep the cat in its own area.
As horrible as it sounds you will have to get rid of the cat or make it an outdoors cat. Cats can smother babies and if your cat has already harmed your baby that should probably be enough... I know it will be hard but it has to be done..
You should get rid of the cat and have the scratches checked by the doc. Pets are always a huge allergy risk anyway. When the child is older and understands what a cat is you can get a new one but I think the current cat has got to go before it does very serious harm.
