[quote=Anonymous]I am a relatively new (6 months so far) live-in for a 14-month old girl.  MB and DB (but especially MB) are very typical high-strung, safety concious/paranoid FTM, with one blind spot: her cats.

MB has two cats that she loves and had for years before having kids and they are very spoiled.  They steal food, scratch furniture, yowl when they don't have enough attention, etc.  they have also showed signs of aggression towards me (scratching, hissing, one bite) when worked up (e.g., I just came home and house is loud and family is walking around and yelling).

I am really concerned that one of the cats will injure DC and that I will be blamed.  DB ignores cats, but MB encourages them to play with DC (calls them her "big sisters") and I have seen some growling and warning swipes already.  So far I just close the door and keep cats away from DC, but as she gets bigger and wants to play in other rooms, I won't be able to keep them separate, and it feels inevitable that she'll get hurt.  How do I bring this up?[/quote]
