I too am a little worried about Calliope. She is a "special needs" cat as she has Feline AIDS (no it can't pass to humans).

Unfortunatley there is really nothing we can do until the baby comes...

Our dog is lovely and we are getting her slowly used to just coming inside and sitting down nice and quiet. She's well trained. Poor Ebony is so terrified of the cat though (no reason, just terrified!) that I hope she doesn't get scared of baby too!
