Cat Views

My daughter has 2 elderly cats and a brand-new grandson. Her daughter and the baby stayed with her the first week after he was born. After they arrived, it became an interesting week. At first, the cats totally shunned my daughter! How dare she bring that interloper in! When they realized he wasn’t going to go away, little by little, they came around. Her female cat became interested in the baby. The male cat, however, was totally jealous. Whenever my daughter held the baby he would jump into her lap and squeeze himself in between her and the baby. He would eye the bassinet when she would go to put the baby down. Thank goodness he is no longer able to jump that high. The perfect solution was to buy him a Thermo-Kitty Cat Bed to use as his own bassinet where he could curl up whenever she put the baby in his. Both “babies” were able to nap at the same time in their respective bassinets and the jealousy abated!
