We've got one cat. I caught her in the cot and swiftly let her know it was out of bounds. She has everywhere else in the house she can go, there is no need for her to be in the cot.

The relationship between the cat and DS is just amazing. They're always together and I'm not worried about the smothering thing at all. I just think that the cot is a boundary - it's not her bed, she has her own bed.
