We have just had cat safe spaces to get through these periods when the kids are little. the cat needs spaces to get away. We have a tall TV cabinet the cat spends a lot of time on... anything high up you have like that, look for a way to make it accessible to the cat. We also use baby gates to section off where the cat's litter and food is (laundry or whatever- we've moved a few times so it changes) and the cat can get away in that space too.
