I'd say if you think its to much, or perhaps cleanliness is to much. Then I'd say find them good homes. Only you know what's really going on in your own home for them to make these requests. Also maybe the kitties would get more love attention with a family with less pets.

Why would you get rid of them? Pets are family :) nothing wrong with having that many cats!!

I have this pregnancy, six kids (14,9,6,5,3,3 so young,) five cats 3 are outside, a yorkie, fish, and a snake. I just delegated the litter box. They won't hurt your baby or 'steal their breath' lol it's whatever u think is best :)

Indoor cats do not spread toxoplasmosis. Only cats that go outside can catch the parasite. If a cat has never been outside, it cannot catch toxoplasmosis. I would still have someone else change the litter to be safe though.

If you can afford and have the energy to keep them after baby comes then keep them...if they are indoor cats just make sure someone else cleans the litter as there's somthing it cat poo that is really harmful for you and baby! And when baby is here just make sure they don't sleep in the same room as baby etc! :)

I would keep them. Especially since they're well tempered. We have 3 cats and a bunny. If we had a larger house, we would have more! I love rescuing animals in need.

I have 2 cats, a dog and a hamster, we're keeping the cats and hamster but I'm not sure yet whether my dog will stay with my parents for a while, he's great with our two girls and kids in general but he's never been around a small baby, I've heard such sad stories concerning dogs and newborns as much as I know he's a softie my paranoia can't handle it! ?

We have 2 dogs and 2 cats and we do not plan on getting rid of any of them. We are already making the nursery a no cat zone, so when the baby comes they will know it is off limits. But I definitely think you should wait and see how the cats are with baby, a lot of cats are great about keeping their distance. When my 9 yo son was a baby, our cat slept on the rug every single night in his room. Never had an issue with our cat jumping in the crib.

I've had a couple people tell SO and I that we should get rid of our two cats when the baby comes but neither of us want to get rid of them and agreed once the baby comes, neither of them are allowed in our bedroom.

We have a dog and a cat. But we are having to get rid of our kitty which saddens me but she has a bad habit of jumping and laying smack on my son's face every time my son lays down. So we are concerned that she will do it with our newborn. If you feel comfortable to keep all your animals then do so. You will know if your can handle it or not once the baby is born.

In my house there's four dogs, three hamsters, two bearded dragons, and a beta fish! I'm keeping all of my animals. My SO grew up with no pets and he says he wishes he had! So he's being pretty lenient with all the fur babies and other animals we have!

Why get rid of them? I could never get rid of my cats. And why can't you have your cats and baby too? I have a dog, two cats, and a fish tank. I'm not getting rid of my first babies. If you don't think you can handle the work then I understand, but I would never let anyone persuade me to do anything I didn't want to do.
