[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once your baby is sound asleep can you lure/pick up the cat and take it out the crib if you're too worried about smothering or hair tickling nose?[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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![/quote]
