About this deal
my cat wasnt afraid of dd1 untill she learned to crawl but equally had no interest in jumping into her cot with her. Doesn't do it so often now, but can still sleep a bit too close to my face to be comfortable with him around a sleeping baby. Might have been a wee bit more concerned about one of our current cats as he had a real habit of sleeping on your face when he was a kitten. If the cat jumped on the net, it sags so not only does the baby get a cat on the head but a bloody great netty thing too. I think we are going for the shut door approach but thought we would start trying this a good few weeks before the birth.

Not only do they not work, you spend a dogs age trying to get the blood things off because the baby is crying.I am with harpo, the biggest problem with our cats and babies is keeping the cats out of the cot/pram/highchair when the babies aren't in them. One puss would curl up in the (empty) cat seat if he could, but they all instinctively kept away from dd. Like many of you, we had a thought-provoking year, watching the world change before us during the pandemic.

Sorry to ramble, but in my experience, cats are very scared of babies and I'd be surprised if you'll need the cat net.Til we got a grip and just started shutting the bedroom door on the cats (and using a baby monitor).
