Has anyone else had the joy of trying to keep cats out of a moses basket? At the moment all I can…

I've read that you should let cats see baby things so they don't freak out with all new things they haven't seen before AND that bald kitten your going to give more attention to than them. I have two cats so will have the same problem, I know for a fact they'll think I've brought them a fancy bed! I would take the bedding out and give it a hoover and a wash and leave it off til baby arrives. We've started shutting our cats downstairs as one will want to sleep with/on baby. Hopefully they won't feel pushed out when baby gets here. perhaps only let them near the moses basket when you're there so they can get used to it/get their smell on it and you can pluck them out of it when they decide they want a nap in the fancy bed! And good luck! x

I know if I let them in it once thats it! they'll never stop :( all 3 are quite young so they're also very destructive! haha @mummywarwick

Awwww! Bless them. Hard to stay cross at them too as they're so bloody cute! We haven't got any baby furniture yet, but my youngest cat is a nightmare you should what he's done to the sofa! we have five scratching posts dotted about the house but he keeps clawing the sofa! xXx

I was really worried about this when I was pregnant, I have a 1 year old cat and he was my baby I was so worried he'd be jealous and hate my little one but he's not even interested lol, just has a sniff and walks away! I had my Moses basket out in the bedroom from about a month before my due date just so he could get used to it, he's never once tried to go inside it he would just have a smell and then sit under it haha. also ever since we decorated our nursery he just wasn't aloud in it, we just tried to set boundaries as soon as we could and it's worked! if he does go in the nursery I tell him to get out and he does haha! I guess one is easier to control than three though😩 xxx

You can get a cat net to stop then getting into the Moses basket
