How sweet of your to get a crib for your kitty!

I plan on putting the baby gate up to keep them out of our room once she's here because I knew they would like the new bed and crawl in there with her.

My cousin's cat does that.  Sleeps in the bouncy chairs, in the carrier, in the playpen.  It's funny.

She looks all cute and comfy.

I'm so anal, that when we got our kitty I told DH he wasn't allowed in the bedroom. He wanted to know why. I told him, "We can't let the cat in the bedroom because I don't want him to get in the habit of sleeping on the bed with us. What will happen in 3-5 years when we have a baby? We will have to retrain the cat, and it will be jealous and cats love to cuddle with warm babies!!And then smother them by accident!!OMG!!!"

He thinks I'm crazy. Which I probably am.

"I plan on putting the baby gate up to keep them out of our room once she's here because I knew they would like the new bed and crawl in there with her."

Most cats just jump over a baby gate, unless they are little kittens, really old, or really fat.  Gates are about as effective on cats as telling them not to go in there, lol.

Ha! The best "cat bed" in our house is FI's briefcase, when it's open and he has his computer out. Despite the fact that we have 2 other cat beds, including a huge (and expensive) one from LL Bean. Silly cats.

My sister's cat did that before the baby was born.  But she's terrified of the baby, so now she won't go near it!

any cat I have ever seen will just jump over the baby gate...you will probably have to close the door, and if you have carpet, get a utility mat for outside and cover the carpet so the cat does not ruin it.  I had to do that, I got a really heavy duty mat, with rubber spikes on the bottom so it would grip into carpet...it took her a while, but she actually scratched all the way to the rubber...
I got the mat at target by the welcome mats.
Good luck

RE: the baby gates.  Both cats are older and we've used them before to keep them out of a room temporarily without any problems.  However, keeping them out on a daily basis will probably be more than their curious selves can stand so yeah, already figured that out. ;-)
