Cats - What do you think it means

sorry might sound dense but cant really understand your question?

to stop the cat going in the bassinette put some blown up ballons in there

I smack my sisters cat when he scratches and bites me. I don't think he cares, but my sister does...

To be honest I think it just means that he thinks it's comfy! Pippin had an obessesion with the shopping basket part of our mountin buggy until we put it away...bottom of the change table is a good for him too...think it's 'cos he wants to cushion himself with the comfy cloth nappies.

Balloons is a good idea to keep them out or get a water gun and squirt him.

Oh yea i have heard the Water gun thing. I will have to go and buy it. The thing is that we have had it for 2 months and this is the first time he has even tired to get in it. Do you think he knows that the baby is not far away?? I was told that cats have a sense about things like that.

hmmm I have heard about animals who seem to "know" when things are about to happen but never really had any experience of it myself...I think animals are quite intuitive but who knows if they would be that intuitive..?

I think cats just see a bassient and think "wowo, my kind owners made me a bed!". We got this cat spray stuff - stinks at first but then is odourless after an hour or so. It was injapan though so no idea if you can get it here- ask a pet store

i put balloons in the cot and the bassinette before jack arrived and kitty never ventured into either of them
i'm going to do the same thing this time around with the bassinette, as bubs will be in our room til he/she is sleeping through the night and kitty also sleeps on our bed

My cats are afraid of Ella coz she cries really loud lol so they wont go near her stuff hehe

I personally dont know if i believe in cats sensing that the baby is near, i was in labour at home for 16 hours and they didnt have a clue lol just kept sleeping lol

don't think my cat had any idea I was having a baby - we still have him this time around. When I was pregnant with son (13 years ago) my other cat (whose in cat heaven now) use to always sit on my belly where he was never one to sit on your knee before I was pregnant. ... Doesn't really answer any questions though.

If you're worried about how the cat will react to baby arriving home, I've heard that it helps to get someone to first bring home something that has the baby's scent on it - a blanket or wrap or some clothing that baby was in, and let the cat have a good sniff, to give them the idea that bubs isn't something to be threatened by.  I might try that, 'cause neighbours cat tends to spray or fight things he's threatened by, and that'll be the end of his visits here should he spray the basinette or anything!!  I'm already phasing him out of the house, and he's coping with it pretty well for a cat that used to have his own chair by the fire!  But I'm guessing if your cat is actually yours, not some feline lurker who just spends all day at your place, then you probably don't want puss kicked out.
