We have two cats - one male 16 y/o and one female 12 y/o. The male has pretty much been indifferent to our daughter (now 8 mo. old) although he is pretty deaf. He does not however tolerate grabbing of course so we have to watch her carefully. She loves the cats and really wants to grab/hug them. So far fortunately only one minor scratch. Our female cat is scared of her and jealous of her. The female cat pretty much liked me the best and the male liked my husband the best prior to the baby. The female will come around the baby b/c she can be close to me, however, any loud sound from the baby (squeal, etc) sends her running. She also spends a lot of time by herself since the baby. Our DD tends to squeal loudly when crawling after the cats and gives herself away. Usually they just run away before she gets there. Neither has tried to sleep in her crib and neither has had any "accidents" in her room or around her stuff. We are trying to teach DD to be gentle and pet the cats, but she is still really too little to get it.
