Today, my cat has figured out that while I'm good at sleeping through her nagging in the early morning hours, I will unfailingly wake up for my baby. FML

No need to get rid of the cat, she's good to both my baby and my older son and I have absolutely no fears regarding her and the kids. I still have no clue how she does what she does, I assume she either meows in their room long enough to wake up the baby or she paws him through the rails of the crib until he wakes up. She has food available at all times, so that's not an issue (and she's really thin btw). Pretty sure she just wants to go outside to do whatever it is cats do at night (roam, hunt, interact). I might have to try the dark room suggestion though, thanks for reminding me - it was the only thing that got her to stop peeing all over the house. That or throwing her out of the house at night altogether, nevermind the cold. Sleep is precious, especially with a baby in the house.

so she attacked the baby? damn that's a smart, evil cat.

I'm confused. Do you mean she terrorizes your baby at night or that she imitates the baby's cries?

Cats are extremely intelligient, and evil. Mostly evil.

I like both. The both have their pros cons.

I'm a bit confused I get the cat figured it out that you wake up unwilling for the baby, but what did the cat do?

#25, me, too, except I don't think cats and babies mix. I raised a cat from a kitten, and when she was 7, we had a baby and she freaked out. The dogs were perfect pets around the baby. That's my data point.

This is true #75 but my baby is allergic to cats so unfortunately I had to get rid of the cat for my son's sake.

I can't believe I'm being thumbed down. wish I could call DHS on your asses. of course, it's probably not mothers thumbing down my comment. it's probably those who've adopted animals instead of children. :P

they never said the cat was terrorizing the baby. the cat could just be loud enough to wake the baby up, and most babies cry at the slightest things. do not ever adopt a pet unless you are willing to work with it on behavior issues. no matter the issue. if the cat kept attacking the baby or the baby wss allergic then that would be completely understandable but for just maybe hissing at the baby or waking it up at night by being loud, is not a good reason to throw your cat out.

77, angry much? Calm down. I love my dogs and just because we had a minor issue with them and my child doesn't mean I'd automatically give them away. You seem really insane that you'd like to call DHS just because people are actually rational and don't agree with you.

ok, let's all rewind. I said, if the cat is terrorizing the baby. terrorizing is a pretty strong word. maybe look it up if you're not sure what it means.

Let's rewind some more, it wasn't stated that the baby is in fact being terrorized.

It's also on animal planet. I know you can watch on netflix also, but animal planet has marathons sometimes. I love that show!

Looks like you've got a new outdoor cat, op.
