| Why keep her away from the baby? My friend's baby and her cat
were great buddies. When Casey Cat died from kidney disease, Jimmy
walked around the house asking "kitty cat?" for quite awhile.

| I would say not to worry until you have something to worry about.
Cats are a lot smarter than humans and even more careful and protective
with babies (human or animal).

Gee, 465 was placed by me when we were expecting a baby. Unfortunately,
Judy miscarried at the end of February.

| Adopting a baby! How wonderful!
Many years ago we did this (Lisa is now 22) and at the time, we
had two Siamese kittens who had been my babies for years. It didn't
take these cats long to adopt Lisa. In fact, the female was so
possessive that when I took Lisa for a walk around the area she
would follow me and chew me out royally until I brought that baby
back in the yard.
I wouldn't worry too much about the baby/cat problem.

| 1278.7 | 2 older cats, new kitten?? | KERNEL::JWILLIAMS | | Mon Apr 25 1988 10:13 | 19 |
| What do you think about this situation then?
We already have 2 cats; Sukie who does wander alot and gets on well
with our next door neighbours cat. Hence, they see it more than
we do. He's a male about a year old.
We also have Fred who we got about 6 months after Sukie, another
male but very affectionate, not going out much etc. Totally the
opposite to Sukie.
We now want to get another cat to keep Fred company because we don't
want him wandering and would quite like another. Question is, what
would be the best type to get? Older, male, female, same age, kitten?
We know someone who has some kittens which will be ready soon but
I don't want to have one unless Fred and Sukie (when he's there)
will get on with the new addition. Perhaps its better to get a
younger cat so that both don't feel threatened???

| 1278.8 | slightly older and neutered would work best | SKITZD::WILDE | Being clever is tiring.. | Mon Apr 25 1988 13:57 | 10 |
| I would suggest an older (at least 7 months) female, already NEUTERED and
of a good enough size that any initial "bullying" the boys might throw at
her could be countered with a well placed swat to the nose. Expect some
initial fussing until pecking order is established, and periodic adjustment
to the pecking order may occur...but they will also play together which
is what you want.
I stress the neutered part because an unneutered cat can cause lots of
trouble. Get thee to thy local shelter and give a slightly older maiden
a new home!
