I have a one year old kitty. What I did to get my kitty ready was I let her smell the clothes after they were washed with the baby detergent. I let her smell the diapers and baby wipes and anything that the baby was going to be touching. My cat is super attached to me and the baby now. She isn't jealous or misbehaving now that baby is here. She comes up to the baby and smells or licks her her head and runs to the crib when my baby cries and I'm not in the room. She is a good cat and I make sure to show her I love her too. 😊 Hope my experience helps
