Anyone have a cat?

My cats are now preparing for the new bub by one of them sleeping on the bouncer and the other sleeping on the change mat - both items are on the top of DS' very tall wardrobe. :shakehead: :rolleyes:

As for the cot, you can get a 'cat canopy net'. its tougher and firmer than just a mosquito net, and stops cats or bugs getting in.

Oh thanks so much for the link , we are getting the one for the cot its so perfect and what we needed and wanted

thanks everyone for your help,

Lol my cats are absolutely terrified of babies (especially when they're crying), so we never had a problem with them using the bassinette/cot as a sleeping spot. They sometimes jump in my bed and stick their noses in the bassinette while Squirt is sleeping but as soon as they realise someone else has bagged the cushy spot, the back right off and find somewhere else to spread their hair :)

When she's not in it, though, I just pop a blanket/sheet in the bassinette so that if they do decide to have a snooze, I can just whip the sheet out when I put Squirt down and she won't get covered in cat hair.

We have two indoor cats... one really likes the nursery however it has always been blocked off to the cats even when it was a spare room. I just kept a low barrier across the door and when they got in trouble enough they learnt not to jump it. I'm not worried about one of my cats as she usually sleeps at the foot of my bed if she does otherwise she finds her own spot elsewhere around the house. My other cat loves to sleep up near my head on my pillow and hates to be locked out of our bedroom. It's him i'm worried about with the cot also. he walks all over us when we are in bed too and he's quite a large cat. however I don't think they will go in the nursery. We were going to get a mosquito net and put around the cot to deter them a bit more, however I do like that cot canopy - thanks for the link. It would be perfect as we have 12 ft ceilings and i hadn't quite figured how we were guna get a mozzie net up that high lol. is the opening on that cot canopy quite large so that you can fit a growing baby in there without knocking their head everytime??

Our cat was very protective of me when pg with DD but not interested this time around. She is protective of DD and I when we are here by ourselves and sleeps across my bedroom door and attacks DH when he comes home. Shes never tried getting into the cot/bouncer or anything though.
