Questions & Answers

I am going to have this problem too. If i told my cat he couldn't go in somewhere or shut the door it would only make him want to go in there more. I understand the saying curiosity killed the cat thats for sure.
We have already found him in there a couple of times and take him out and say no. I think we will have to opt for a net or something just to be safe. It's a tricky one but getting rid of him isnt an option either. Hopefully he will just get used to it while it's open and not think anything of it when the baby comes. Good luck x

I used one of those hanging decorative netting from IKEA (that you typically see over a little girls bed) and draped it around the crib and then secured it at the top of the rim so baby couldn't pull on it or even reach it. Shutting the door to the room isn't advised because it stops proper air circulation that is super important to reduce risk of SIDS, however, to each their own I say. This is a little extreme, but I know of a couple who took off the door and replaced it with a wooden screen door. And I have also heard of people using baby gates with a sheet draped over them. Cats will not leap over gates like a dog if they can't see what's on the other side, apparently it freaks them out so they don't do it. You can try a few different methods and just see which one works with your cat as we all know, every cat is different. Also, you can get actual netting specifically for keeping out cats off of ebay. Hope that helps!

I have 3 Cats. The only way me and DH could figure out how to keep the kitties away from the baby stuff was to separate them completely from the baby's room. The cats don't like not being able to go into parts of the apartment, but that's just too bad. Its only temporary and we really didn't want cat hair all over our babies things as long as we can help it!

We have a cat, she was most interested in the baby chair/cot when he wasn't here - now she won't touch anything baby related. I locked everything away before but now its like she knows to leave alone.

I'm going with keeping the door to the nursery closed.

My friend put a lacy decorative nets over the crib and always made sure to surround the entire crib and her cat couldn't find an opening to get into it. She would find him hiding under the crib but he was ever in bed with the baby.
