I wouldnt be surprised if your cat ends up "watching over" your baby too! Once you're further along, your furball will probably curl up next to your belly, and once the baby arrives, she may even hold watch over the threshold in your baby's room during naps - or things like that. My cat Jewel(rip) used to love to jump in Dylan's crib when he wasn't in there. A lot of times when I was changing him in his room or rocking him in the rocking chair, she would be nearby. And this cat was NOT a people person. She liked her family, but would hide when people came over and took a looong time to get used to "other" people. But she seemed to understand with the baby.
I read something where one theory as to why they like to curl up on/near your belly in the last trimester is because they can hear the baby's hb. Cat's hearing is more than a 100 times more sensitive than a DOG I recently found out. That makes them, idk, like a thousand times more sensitive than our ears! No wonder cats really hate being yelled at and they say not to "discipline" a cat by yelling.
I have found that, like children, cats respond well to "time outs". My kitten, when amped up gets pretty destructive, and shredding an entire roll of tp is a favorite thing of his. We even had to take the tp off the roller in the hall bathroom, and place it on the counter. We try to remember to close that door, but the boys seem to forget a lot, and I am guilty of it myself. Well that stinker tore up 2 full rolls in less than 8 hrs, so I showed him the mess, said NO!, then put him in the adjoining shower room, which has a door to seperate it from the rest of the bathroom. I kept him in there for like an hour, then opened the door, he didn't even run out ,, he just laid there. I had to pick him up. He seemed so sad from his time out that I cuddled with him on the couch for like an hour. He maintained perfect behavior that day. Lol.
