New Baby? How to Help Your Cat Adjust

It’s something we’ve heard about - a new baby arrives home and the resident senior kitty gets surrendered to the local high-kill shelter.

It’s a never a good thing for the cat, but it doesn’t have to be that way. 

A cat can live harmoniously with the new baby. It just takes a few tricks and tips for making sure your kitty is at ease with the new addition. You also want to get all the right cat supplies for your new family friend before they arrive.

How to Help Your Cat Adjust to A New Baby

1. Make Your Kitty Feel Good.

Any changes to a cat’s environment can cause chaos. They are territorial animals and anything new can create imbalance. 

The best way to ensure that your cat feels okay is by making them feel special by giving them extra love and attention. They’ll then associate the new family addition as a positive thing!

2. Add Positive Things to the Cat's Environment.

There may be some things happening in the home that the cat may interpret as negative such as loud noises or a change in schedules. 

By adding positive things into their environment, the kitty won’t really pay much attention. Adding a perch near a nice big window, or some high quality cat toys, your cat will be more interested in hunting than stressing over the new baby.

3. Give Positive Reinforcements 

If you’re hanging out with the baby and your cat wants to check him/her out, slowly ease them into the introduction.

Animals know how fragile a baby is so they will be extra careful. They’ll want to smell it’s crib or check out those wiggly toes, but the last thing you should do is punish your kitty for being invasive.  

Cats are naturally curious so let them explore at a safe distance. If they act appropriate around the new baby, reward them with a tasty treat to let them know they did a good job. 

Cats are highly food motivated so they will tend to repeat good habits if they know treats are involved. A great kitten food to add to their diet is the Royal Canin - Kitten Dry and Wet Food.

4. Add Pheromones

Any changes in a cat’s environment will cause some stress for the kitty so prepare your home with some pheromone sprays and/or diffusers. The Feliway brand is a great way to help your kitty stay calm during stressful situations. It also helps prevent spraying, improper urination and scratching, which are all signs of stress for a cat.

5. Spoil the Crap Out of Them.

Buy the best treats, cat toys, and bed/trees so that they know they are still number one. There is nothing wrong with spoiling your cat to make them feel special!

  • “In the crypto world, this is great news I want to share. Last year, I fell victim to a scam disguised as a safe investment option. I have invested in crypto trading platforms for about 10yrs thinking I was ensuring myself a retirement income, only to find that all my assets were either frozen, I believed my assets were secure — until I discovered that my BTC funds had been frozen and withdrawals were impossible. It was a devastating moment when I realized I had been scammed, and I thought my Bitcoin was gone forever, Everything changed when a close friend recommended the Capital Crypto Recover Service. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication enabled me to recover my lost Bitcoin funds back — more than €560.000 DEM to my BTC wallet. What once felt impossible became a reality thanks to their support. If you have lost Bitcoin through scams, hacking, failed withdrawals, or similar challenges, don’t lose hope.

  • I’d like to recommend the Morphohack Cyber Security team if you ever intend to recover your Bitcoin, USDT, or other crypto assets.
    I happen to be one of many people who lost their crypto assets after a distasteful experience with a fake crypto investment scam. They kept requesting more deposits in order to “grant” me access to my wallet. If not for the intervention of the Morphohack Cyber Security team, I would have lost everything completely.
    Morphohack intervened on my behalf and began what seemed to be a full recovery process and a cyber attack on these con men.

    I’m putting this out here to share my plight and encourage others to act quickly and contact Morphohack if you happen to be in a similar situation. Do not believe that by paying more, you’ll be granted access to your wallet by these investment scammers. Instead, contact the Morphohack Cyber team to help you recover your crypto assets immediately.

    Their contact email is as follows: MORPHOHACK@CYBERSERVICES . COM

    Warm regards,
