People love to warn you about this one, but I did read/hear some where that there actually isn't a case on record in Australia of a baby every being smothered to death by a cat...

I was a bit worried myself before we had DS (and I am still cautious, we always shut the door to his room when he is in his cot) but I have to say I have never seen my cat even attempt to get in the cot. Someone told me that before we had DS it would be a good idea to put balloons in the cot from the time we set it up. That way if he did try and get in it (before bubs arrived) he would pop the balloons, get an awful fright and never want to get in there again. I must admit we didn't do that, but I had planned to if he did get in there.
