So far this week we have had to call out the plumber to fix a broken pipe,
I've been told the cat badly needs dental treatment, and now the video
player, my sanity saver giving me 1/2 an hour to cook tea, has died and
needs replacing. We were trying to save a little for the new baby, just

in
case there were unexpected costs, and also for Christmas. Oh well - the
pipe had to be fixed, the cat is my daughter's favourite toy so needs to

be
fixed, and the video saves my sanity so needs to be replaced. I wonder

what
else will go wrong?!

I just LOL at the cat being your daughters favorite toy! Bonnies favorite
toy is our cat.

Our poor cat is very tolerant - gets her tail pulled, gets kissed, and gets
chased around the house by DD going 'meow'! She has only scratched once. A
good sort of toy to have, I reckon - educational as well as mobile!


That sounds like our cat -- I love that description, an educational toy!

That's what I'm hoping - and the plumbing bill wasn't as bad as I thought it
would be.

I hope my cats are amiable to being toys! I still think that if this baby
recognizes anyone's voice, it's probably going to be Peaches, since she
enjoys lying next to my stomach, sort of curled around it, and often seems
to be carrying on a conversation with the baby in purrs and mews. Well...I
wanted her to be bilingual...

I'm wondering if that is why DD is so fond of the cat - when I was pregnant,
the cat spent every evening curled up on the bump purring away.

There seems to be this innate attraction between cat and bump-they all seem
very comfortable right by there-although I have had a hard time convincing
the youngest that "mount cuddles" is not for climbing!

My two cats don't seem to have noticed the bump at all :c( The dog just
knows she can't jump up on me like she used to and she has to be careful
around the belly.

Do any of you have any advice about introducing the new baby to the animals?

I've read that I should carry a doll around for a week or two to get
everyone used to the idea and that Dbf should come home first with
something the baby has worn so animals can sniff at it, then when we all
come home from the hospital, i come in first greet them all and then Dbf
comes in with the baby. Anything else anyone can tell me?

My dog is a 15 month old Aussie Shepherd mix, recently spayed, the cats
are a 4 yr old female and a 3 yr old son, both fixed, all animals are
rescues from local shelters but have no behavioral problems, besides the
puppy being a bit clingy to me.
