Hi everyone! I've never posted on this section before. Anyway, we are expecting our first child, due this summer. We have two wonderful cats, very mellow, well-behaved, all-around good cats. I'm wondering what the best way to introduce them to the newcomer to our family (after all, it's their family, too!)
One thing I am concerned about is that we just moved very far and are still settling in the new place. I know the cats feel uneasy about this change as well. I hope the new baby doesn't upset the apple cart even more... how should I handle this?
The baby will be sleeping in our bedroom for the first few months in a pack-n-play... not sure if that will help the advice or not.
I was thinking about sending my husband or other family member home with a receiving blanket that baby has been wrapped in (while we're still in the hospital) so the cats can sniff and roll around in to get the new scent.
