I would be more worried about the kitty litter which is VERY harmful to you and you're baby,,even deadly,, as for the cats and kittys when baby arrive's you need to keep them out of the crib because they can jump on baby's chest to lick the formula around mouth in turn suffocate the baby

I will look for one that is alright for me to be around. I know that animal poo can be harmful as it can carry disease although I should be safe with the kittens.
I have been teaching my big cats that they are only allowed in the room when I am in there as the kittens are to young at the moment. When I get up to leave the room the cats are vey well behaved and will instantly walk out as well.
I am going to try and have alot but a little contact between them just be be on the safe side
Thanx

i have one cat.. but share some your concerns...basically once the baby comes i intend keeping my kitty out of the bed room nursery and kitchen so she will be confined to the lounge room and laundry at all times. its just a lot safer because animals can be really harmful to your child; they carry diseases, i read an article about a cat who sat on a baby during the night and suffocated him (he was seeking out the warmth) and also they can be jealous at times.
dont get me wrong i love my cat a lot but my babies safety and well being comes well before the comfort and convenience of my pet.
good luck

Thanks, they are being restrited to being in the room when I am in there only because I want them to bond but I don;t want the danger of anything happening to my son
Thanks again for the reply!

Having them only in the room when you're in there is a good idea, but be careful, because they still carry disease. Allowing too much interaction, even just the fact that their fur will be around the place, can cause problems with bubb. Try to keep the kitty's away from anywhere you're preparing bottles or food or sterilising things for your baby - everything needs to be really nice and clean round your little one in their early stages.

I have a cat, he lives with my dad not me but we have stayed with dad for weeks and my cat is great.

My son pulls his tail, tries to pick him up, tries to pat him and my cat just walks away. My cat has never scratched him and he has never hissed.

However my mother in laws cat has been hissing at my boy since he was a NEWBORN! I hate the bloody thing and refuse to have my son near it.

Never leave your children in the same room as any animal without supervision. Never let your child touch a animal while it is eating. Keep the kitty litter somewhere where children cannot get to it.

Other than that, there isn't any other rules. Make sure your baby is gentle and the kitties are too. Keep the bedroom door shut and make it a catfree zone so they know they are NEVER to go in there.

Don't change kitty litter while you are pregnant it is very harmful, keep it in a area where it is away from where you normally are.

Oh tiles, wood and lino are the best flooring, if you have carpet vac everyday because of the fur. I know it sounds like heeps but really it isn't. Obviously the bottles will still be clean unless you let your kitties on the kitchen counters
