advice on how to stop this before baby gets here?

I had to start doing that with my kitty. I spray her or put her in her bed when she jumps on our bed. I usually shut the room or put something on it to block her from jumping there. They are just exploring.

Oh god I've tried the water bottle and adding vinegar to it too. he's stubborn

I sprayed my cat with a water bottle whenever she'd get on the table etc. It worked for the most part. I'd leave the water bottle on/near it so maybe that would be a deterrent. It worked for saving my Christmas tree too 😂

I would just keep the room shut

he has a HUGE house to run through and 2 dogs to play with but he'd rather stay close to the baby stuff :/

does the kitty have a tower? that may make him stop, maybe get the cat some stuff

Oh I know what you mean!

My boyfriends grandma doesn't like her cats on the couches so she puts silicone floor mats upside down so the spikes are up and it's uncomfortable for the cats so they don't go up there anymore, I'll try to find a picture

possibly. but roman will be here in under two weeks, do you think it'll be enough time for him to get it? he used to just sit beside the crib and paw at it then he started getting in it

maybe try covering the top with a sheet or something so he can't get in and maybe he will stop

Yeah he Def. isn't going anywhere. and he's fully indoor too. I think I'm just going to have to shut him out of the room for the most part. I just feel bad because he has literally been the baby for 2 years, so he's probably going to feel so confused

I never could figure out how to. our two cats were fluffy and white and never been outside. very clean. but they were getting all over babies stuff and ugh was ridiculous. we finally had to find a good home for them. just didn't work out for us with a newborn. good luck
