I can, but he usually jumps right back in which is even more disruptive. He doesn't really take no for an answer. If I close a door, he will paw at it till he is allowed in. I suppose if I were to snuggle with him that would be enough to keep him away from her, but nap time is when I get things done. Maybe it is time to suck it up and get a video monitor or angelcare mat.

An angelcare mat won't work. They work by sensing whether or not there's something breathing on top of them. If, God forbid, something happened they wouldn't distinguish between live cat and live baby.

I don't think this is a huge problem, but I personally wouldn't do it. I also think that you can just ignore the cat pawing, or pick him up and lock him in the bathroom every time he paws until he figures it out. If you feel this is unsafe, then you should stop it. If you feel that it's no risk, then you don't need a monitor.

Your daughter is adorable!

Babies with cats get impetigo????

Do you really think a cat touching a baby's face is hygienic???

Of course not. But impetigo???

Bacteria causes impetigo. Walking in a litter box it bacteria on your paws. Babies who sleep with cat paws on their faces and in their beds could def get impetigo.

How sweet! I wonder if mine will end up having a relationship like that. At this point, the cat isn't too much of a fan of the baby when she is awake and wants to play (with his tail, paws, ears, whiskers, etc), but come naptime, he wants in. I hope they continue to get along!

OP, is that a quilt or something lying next to the baby?!

[Anonymous]

Yep. She was in mama's bed to nurse and was being supervised (by the cat, of course).

Ok, that's not that bad. I was skeptical but now I approve. As if it matters.

Nobody has expressed concern that the baby could roll over and suffocate the cat. That happened to my kitteh when my husband started staying over. Thank goodness I woke up and saved him!

Holy crap, I hate cats, and I still think this is the most adorable thing ever.
