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.

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

As a person who has a little brother raised with animals, your two babies will adjust to each other I'm sure

My cats ran away after i brought my baby home. They were ok with it for the first 3 weeks but i think the crying upset then, so they left.

Well. I'm only 17 so I've never had children, but I have had babies in my house along with cats. One of them used to do the same thing, and the other one just lied around all day and couldn't figure out how to get through the cat door. So good luck OP :)

My cat has only encountered a baby once, one look and she hid under the bed until it went away.

Why have the cat in the same room as a sleeping baby? The cat will try and cuddle up to it as it would to you and could accidentally smother your baby who is too weak to push it off. It's happened and in some cases cats may attack the baby out of jealousy. - lock it in another room.

Since OP has an older child, I imagine the cat has already gotten used to children.

Cats aren't idiots. Having been around another child, I'm sure the car knows what a baby is, and wouldn't smother it. Also, babies are surprisingly strong, and if a cat were to sit/lie on a baby for some reason, the baby could certainly move around enough to get the cat to move (not to mention the OP said the cat was pretty thin). Also, I'm pretty sure cats don't attack babies out of jealousy. More likely they want to play with the babies and don't realize the babies aren't as tough as they are.

I know how to fix your problem! You need to make your cat think she's more of a priority. Give her lots of high things to play with and jump on. The higher she can climb in your house the happier she will be. Cats like to be the king of the jungle. And make sure she has a nice clean litter. Maybe even two. They say you should have 2 litter boxes for each cat plus and extra one. Good luck with your kitty!

Good advice but I think it's actually ONE litter box for each cat, plus an extra one. For example, if you have 1 cat, then you should have 2 litter boxes; 3 cats = 4 litter boxes. I have 3 cats and there's no way I would have 7 litter boxes - that'd be a bit much lol.

Time to put the cat in the laundry room at night or something. I won't say get rid of your pet but that's scary as a mom I feel my mama bear kicking in

Damn, cats are truly evil... dark room is a good suggestion, or closing the baby's door and putting a monitor in the room could do I guess? Mine used to jump on my chest from the dresser to wake me up when my baby was born... -_-'
