We have two. We had three, but she had issues sharing her litter box. Now we get to replace the carpet in our finished basement. Anyone have any tricks for getting the smell out? Using a steam cleaner didn't work.

The baby is due in 8 weeks, but we had left this very outdated carrier out after using it to feed a wee one we had on foster relief. Needless to say, the baby's car seat will not be left where the cats can access it.

We've had cats the whole time we were married so each of our kids have come home to one or more cats. None of themevery had a problem with the kids. Miranda ia still too noisy and bouncy to be a favorite of the cats but our current cat takes turns sleeping with the toher kids. I don't think we did anything special to introduce the kids, the cats pretty much came and checked them out within hours of them coming home. I was much more concerned about the dog but he was fine too.
