cats and pregnant ladies
My younger cat Stella is freaking me out. I am five months pregnant and
she will not leave my tummy alone. She sniffs it, cuddles her forehead to it, sleeps on it, puts a paw on it and flexes her toes. At night, I can't keep her off me at night and she is a little furnace! Do you think she feels the baby moving or knows it's there? At night I or my husband will take her off my belly or side and she just gets back on. We gave up. Any ideas? rach |

Well, babies are pretty active in the tummy. I'm pretty sure she knows,
especially if she sleeps on it. I suspect there will be a big bond between your cat and child. I'm certain too, you smell like a mommy too. YOu have to realize cats have WAY higher senses than we. Sounds like she is looking forward to raising a baby too. wrote in message oups.com... My younger cat Stella is freaking me out. I am five months pregnant and she will not leave my tummy alone.

This one is pretty active. It is very weird for a first time parent.
I agree with you with there being a bond between the baby and Stella the cat. My husband is worried because Stella is very posessive of me and will head but or bite anyone that touches me (he can't hold my hand with her near) but I think she will surprise us. Thanks for your insight! |

My husband is worried because Stella is very posessive of me and will head but or bite anyone that touches me (he can't hold my hand with her near) but I think she will surprise us. Thanks for your insight! I have a friend who has a cat that HATES most other people than her. Even I, who took care of her often as a kitten, am not allowed to touch. When the baby came along, this cat was very good at ignoring said baby unless it cried. Then she went to my friend immediately demand the child be looked at. Now that her second child, a girl, desparately wants to be able to pet this cat.(In fact, I think her first word was the cats name. However, when asked what the cat says, it was "SSSSSsssss" not "meow" which in this cats case is true. ) I told her, just wait until she is older and the cat will know when to trust her. The little girl has always been super gentle in high hopes. Well, this year the little girl is 4 and the cat takes refuge on the little girl's bed and sleeps with her sometimes, much to the little girl's delight. So, even snooty, one person cats can be OK with kids. |

Well, I take it you put her in another room at some point. -- Web site: http://www.slywy.com/ Message board: http://www.slywy.com/phpBB2/ Journal: http://slywy.diaryland.com/ LOL Once in a while, hence the baby Although the two cats are usually on the other side of a closed door, they have been known to open it and sit to get an eyeful. It's rather unnerving. -- ..oO rach Oo |

Any ideas? rach I've seen this behavior between a pregnant Female Cat and other Females. They seem to want to share in the pregnancy and would lay with the pregnant Female,fuss her,bath her...etc,etc. Kinda nice to watch... Ray WebElder I don't "Suffer" from Insanity..I rather enjoy it! CATTS http://members.tripod.com/~thewebster/catts.html Home Page http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Laby...6/meshead.html It is so sweet to see. She is a very loving cat and I can just imagine when the baby comes. -- ..oO rach Oo. |
