My cat is a bit of a psycho & I was really worried about bringing Zander home to meet her. She was 12 years old at the time & as such had been our baby for a very long time. We used lots of the tricks in Christy article as well as some others she taught me.

One invaluable thing we did was from midway through my pregnancy we would put a blanket on the floor in the loungeroom because bub would spend lots of time there. She got squirted with a water pistol every time she went put a paw on it. We did this to explain to her that the blanket was baby space & she was not allowed to step onto it. This worked brilliantly & even today, nearly three years later, she will not step on a blanket on the floor.

Bear was taught that she wasn't to be in the babies room & she was pretty good about it. Though as Zander got a bit bigger she liked to sleep under his cot, she must've thought she was a watch-cat LOL! Now though she can't stay far enough away from him! He's not mean or anything with her, just a boisterous little man!
