My cat did that when I was a baby. He was so pissed that I was in his spot
Polygrammar
He's like "I'm your baby, all you need is me!"
PuhCKilluh
Cat's in the cradle...no silver spoon though.

Up next on Mtv Cribs....
lostwalllet
congrats on getting a second crib.
ilikesturtles
In the night if I cried my cat always came and calmed me down before my parents. Let the cats be cats
kkanne20
make sure your cat tests negative for toxoplasmosis before letting it hang around the newborn
ClackyKeyboard
Look at that smile, do you really have the heart to tell him its not?
RkyrRL
Pfft Pretty sure you thought the crib you put together was for your baby.
theSungamer
Ima touchy fishy
yuyufan43
It is now
stealmydebt
Close. Pretty sure your cat thinks it's ALL for him. The feline galactic core upon whose axis the universe turns.
InquisitorOctaviusoftheOrdoMalleus
It is his now you didn't put the baby in fast enough
JapaneseStudentTadashii
Maine FUCKIN Coon!
Raz0rking
Mine does basicly the same.
Kjuhaszzlenozzle
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but you should take all that shit out of the crib. It's a suffocation hazard.

BIG FLUFFY BABY IS SO HAPPY

This is why I imgur.
OhMyCarrots
My cats did the same until I brought the baby home. They run if we enter the room with him.
Magpiebones

Ijustreallyreallylikeelephants
Was just going to say the same. My cats hate my daughter.
OhMyCarrots
We are to the point where one likes him, the other hates him, and attacks the other cat after she is around him. It's getting ugly.
Ijustreallyreallylikeelephants
My cats just keep their distance now. She's two now and absolutely loves them but they still don't want to know. Unless she has food!

I didn't go a day in my life with some animal curled up to me. My old cat Kwaka Lukka Mukka Muku slept with me for 12 years. (He died at 16)
TheKoolAidMans
Your kids gotta learn real life You don't have a bed your pet has as many beds as there are in the house and you can use that parts it isn't
SavyRealms1013
Before my cat became an outside cat, he'd lay next to baby daughter, would hiss at anyone who went near her except for me.Swiped at dad once
familyfingers215
hope your kid isn't allergic to cats
acciohorcrux
Fur babies!
OrangePeddler
Put a large piece of cardboard with double sided tape (face up) so your cat gets sticky paws. Cats hate it and will learn to stay out
icanhazusername
My cat ate the sticky tape off the arm of our chair. He gave no fucks.
liquidsnakex
WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW!!! *shakes paw furiously to get tape off*
totallynotawalrus
This is very sweet, but I'd recommend training your cat NOT to get into the crib from day one. It needs to be a no go area.
UrmomlikesmyJonSnowballs
Funny story. When I was born my grandfathers cat tried to smother me at least a dozen times fucking asshole.
wronggengirl
My cat hides whenever children come over, and I honestly am so glad. No pulled tails, no surprise biting.

querolasaberdisso
He had to live that long, since he needed some time till you finished to call him. Marquis du Muku.
yuyufan43
It was Muku for short. My dad used his name to get free sample items in the mail and for years we got diapers addressed to Muku as a joke.
Valkyr1987
Are you Hawaiian?
yuyufan43
No. My brother wanted Shredder and I wanted Princess and my dad pulled that name from his ass as a joke and it stuck. It was Muku for short.

Please do not advocate keeping cats in the crib. Even though it supposedly worked all the time for you, there is a serious chokimg risk

liquidsnakex
And that mentality is why child protective services exists
Magpiebones
Many cats will do forbidden things when you aren't present, tho, so the mesh lid for the crib might be the best solution.
totallynotawalrus
There is an Adrian Mole reference here somewhere but I'm too tired for it. (Adrian Mole by Sue Townsend)
AmyBethMegJo
Have you read The Queen and I? So much fun!
FettsMiata
I like the idea of having a lid for my child.

Why not? :o I used to sleep with my cat all the time when i was in teh crib o:

Suffocation. Toxoplasmosis. Flea bites. Worms. Allergies. Overheating. Aggression. Infection.
anatheiguana
You know how they say that now everything you eat gives you cancer and everything you do kills you? It's like that. We're becoming pussies
Classicdarling
Saving this to show my husband this comment thread. He thinks it's harmless. I strongly disagree.
crunchydeskchair
Yes, I've gotten depressing stories from friends
User45816546
Cats can lay down on the babys head for warm. Babys have died because of this, dont leave the cat and the baby alone!
expertsandwichmaker
The same thing happened with my moms cat when I was younger. She always slept in my crib and when I was born she was kicked out and HATED 1/
expertsandwichmaker
2/ me. She tells me story of the cat trying to attack me when I was younger. Not a good thing.
ThatIrishChEg
Good compromise is to wait until the baby can turn its head
trujello2013
Cat can suffocate ur new born. Smells the milk in baby's mouth, tries to get said milk, baby can't breath.
Sloppydrunkcatlady
It's nothing to do with the milk, it's the warmth of the baby.
ImMrsMeeseeksLookatMe
I don't know why this is downvoted, my cat tries to sleep on my face. It could easily do the same thing to a baby, who can't push it off.
BecauseTheStatusIsNotQuo
It's because it's misinformation. My cat does the same on my face and suffocation is a real concern, but not because of the milk smell
trujello2013
I dont get it either! My bad for speaking lol. Fuck it. N yea it's very possible! To hell with trying to inform people about anything
ImMrsMeeseeksLookatMe
Rule no 22 of imgur. Don't say anything bad about cats.
OhKingKoopa
Why?
rachhieex
Cats like the warmth of babies and lay on them, unintentionally killing them. Had it happen to my little sister, we got the cat off in time
totallynotawalrus
I've had a kitty attempt to lay on the face of my baby. This is not worth the risk as a sleep deprived new parent. People aren't infallible.
OhKingKoopa
Makes sense.
Sloppydrunkcatlady
It's just natural for a cat to want to sit or lay on something warm, like a baby. If they're too heavy they'll suffocate the baby
totallynotawalrus
Also cats are habitual in sleeping spots. It's a bad idea to let the cat think that is an okay place to sleep.
NonConformistFlamingo
Hence the old wive's tale of cats stealing the breath of infants. themoreyouknow.gif
Shannerwren
Nope: http://www.snopes.com/critters/wild/catsuck.asp
SomeThingsAboutKittyCats
That's about them doing it on purpose not an accident while snuggling
Beelsebooob
Because a cat will happily suffocate a baby by lying on its face.
Shannerwren
Nope: http://www.snopes.com/critters/wild/catsuck.asp
BecauseTheStatusIsNotQuo
No this article isn't talking about accidental suffocation, most cats don't have a maternal instinct to be careful around babies
Beelsebooob
Right, because kittens are born able to move around, unlike babies who are unable to do any useful moving.
HeatherMac79
My cats were in the crib until the baby came home. They are doing great together. Cats +babies = awesome
ZoeAlyss
Not when the cat accidentally curls up on the babies face.
HeatherMac79
My cats don't curl up on faces
HeatherMac79
My cats don't curl up on faces
ZoeAlyss
Then again I am allergic to cats and bunnies and dogs don't usually climb into cribs. :/
Magpiebones
Neither did my mom's cat with me when I was a baby, until one time. They don't do it to hurt, but they don't get that a human their size 1/2
Magpiebones
is too weak to readjust if they are suffocating under them. 2/2
ZoeAlyss
I wouldn't ever be able to put my trust in how my animals sleep above the life of my baby.
menamena
I'm planning on saving money by putting my baby in my dogs crate at night. I mean he's never killed a baby so far!
HeatherMac79
Brilliant! The doc said no blankets but didn't say anything about cats. I can save money on heating
