You were probably relieved when you first brought your baby home and you realized that your cat wasn’t interested. But as the months go by, and your cat still isn’t interested in the baby, you may be worried. Should you be?

Most cats don’t like babies. They avoid them because they’re noisy, unpredictable, and they don’t have gross motor skills. Babies aren’t good at petting cats, they don’t feed cats, and they don’t scoop litter boxes, so your feline friend has no need for your infant!

As your child ages, the cat will slowly come around. In the meantime, be patient, and provide your cat with private areas in your home where he can retreat from your child when he feels stressed out.

If you’re still worried about your cat’s behavior, you should schedule an appointment with your veterinarian Bee Cave, TX.
