Ken and the Kats

How have the cats been?

Leading up to having the baby, there was some advice offered about having the cats around Ken. There was a lot of worrying going on, which I have felt all along is a bit overblown. I do take sleeping time seriously, and think it best to not let the cats sleep with him in the first year when breathing is a bit more hard work and SIDS is a concern. But after that I don't think there is really too much to worry about.
Basically the cats have kept a bit of distance from Ken and his flailing arms and legs and have not made a single threatening gesture towards him. When they play, they get locked out of the room- they can barely stay away from knocking over our food and drinks, much less steer clear of the baby. We also try to be aware of the potential for jealousy and make an effort to always pet them or involve them in our daily activities and they are basically still happy. However they do get a bit jealous sometimes. The other day I was sitting down with Ken at the computer in my PJ's when Lanny decided to share my lap with him...
And she repeated her performance the next night too...
Pretty funny, the next night we put him to bed before sitting at the PC at the end of the day and she wanted nothing to do with sitting on my lap. That's okay, they have been very well behaved and no threat to the little guy!
