Preparing Your Cat for the New Baby

Introducing a baby into your home can be a big adjustment for your cat. Preparing in advance can make the transition smoother for everyone.

Steps to Help Your Cat Adjust

Gradual Introductions

Start introducing baby-related scents and sounds before the baby arrives to help your cat acclimate.

Creating Safe Spaces

Ensure your cat has a quiet, comfortable space where they can retreat if they feel overwhelmed.

Maintaining Routine

Cats thrive on routine. Keeping feeding, playtime, and affection consistent helps reduce stress.

Signs of Stress in Cats and How to Help

Watch for behaviors like hiding, excessive grooming, or changes in appetite. If stress persists, consult a veterinarian.
