The cat won’t leave me alone now I’m pg!

My cat has to be on my belly if I am on the couch, he is very cute but it is a bit much at times. Bubs is either going to love or hate him after having him purring in her ear all the time!

I haven't had him following me everywhere though, that would be a bit annoying after a while. Hopefully she settles down soon.

I have two cats, one female, one male... the girl used to be my best-friend - very gregarious, meet me at the gate when I got home, on my lap in the evenings ('specially when cold!) and all that sort of thing. The boy was always a little more stand-offish, more skitterish and didn't really like to be picked up for a cuddle.

When I first found out I was preggy and I was having a bit of a rough time with the circumstances my girl was a huge emotional support, but since I got past the first tri she's sooooo totally got the pip with me and it's a rare evening where she'll jump on my lap now. However my boy, weeeeelllll, he's become quite clingy, talks to me constantly (and that's getting worse and more annoying) and generally doesn't like to let me out of his sight.

All I can say is I can't work it all out but I guess just like humans react to change in environment/circumstances so do our cats

Pop those babies and she will stop... Mine is the same (but not quite as bad) and once I am not pg she goes back to normal... well actually she started "guarding" Jake for about 3 months then she went back to normal.

My boy cat is not smoochy this pregnancy at all.. think he didnt like the end result LOL

The sixth sense in animals never ceases to amaze me we have 5 cats at home (4 boys, one girl) and it is a rare occassion I don't have one either on me or on my stuff. They constantly need to be on my belly and the purring always sets the baby off kicking. I think they're having conversations I don't understand

Ancient Egyptians would worship their cats and scientists have proven that the low frequency of purring is good for your internal organs and stimulates the release of endorphins. Maybe purring is their way of helping baby grow?

My dog did that! When I was in labour at home, he lay with his head glued to my tummy and wouldnt leave me alone. Now he just adores DS

Ohhhh emme you crack me up - you're such a blonde sometimes (and I am one so I can say that!).

LMAO I *know*! and I'm a red head  I thought the title was a little risque for Ohbaby?!  heehee blonde moment

We have 3 kitties, 1 has always been very smoochy and loving. The only girl is a total madam and isn't very clingy, until I became pregnant. She now often sleeps jammed up against me, or on my knee with her head on the bump. The smoochy boy is still the same although he's upped his talking too!

I did read somewhere that it's possible cats can hear the baby's heartbeat. And I guess they would be able to tell the difference between the baby's heartbeat and DH's tummy when he's eaten too much!

before I found out I was pregnant with DD my cat would sleep right next to my tummy - I thought it was weird but then I heard that it is their protectivenss streak coming through. Though she didn't do it with DS - she hated me!!

this is funny. Until I saw this thread I hadn't met anybody else who'd commented on this. My cat cannot, will not, leave me alone. I'm about to go away for five days and I'm not sure how he's going to cope ;-)
He has always slept in our bed, but he used to prefer my partner bx I think he's warmer - now he sticks right by me, and his favourite position is kind've draped over my head. He can't get close enough. which is kinda nice but a bit of a PIA at time.s    
Good to hear I'm not the only one that's had this!
Can't tell you how he'll react to the baby until after September though... ;-)
