Is it safe for our cat to sleep with our baby?
It is not safe for cats to sleep with babies. Babies do not yet have the ability to move pets or other things, such as blankets, off their face if they are having difficulty breathing. Because of this, it is possible for a cat to unintentionally smother or suffocate a baby. You should consider closing the door to your baby’s room so that the cat cannot enter when your baby is sleeping, and you should always monitor to ensure the cat has not entered the baby’s crib while you weren’t watching.
