Cat and baby kissing

"It's important to define what is meant by a
'cat kiss'- when we think of kissing, we
think of a touching of the lips that has
romantic, sexual or platonic, but
affectionate meaning," says Mikel
Delgado, Ph.D., and Certified Cat Behavior
Consultant at Feline Minds. "Cats do
sometimes touch and sniff or groom each
other near the mouth area, but this is not a
romantic gesture because cat sex is not
exactly romantic."
Cats are not shy about communicating
with their people. In fact, cats don't really
meow at each other, but rather save that
vocalization for their quardians. While we'd
all like to learn how to speak cat, we'd also
like to get our cats to lavish us with
affection! Some cats bring us gifts, knead
us and show love with belly displays, but
they're never craning up for a big wet
smooch.
investigate it. Make sure that the
crib and other baby sleeping-
locations are off-limits to the cat. A
newborn cannot turn over or even
move her head at first, so a heat-
seeking cat who chooses to cuddle
up close to the baby's face could
make it difficult for the child to
breathe. Close the door to the
nursery when the baby is napping.
If there is no door, either install a
temporary screen door or place aa
crib tent over the crib to keep the
cat out. These precautions also
prevent the cat from urinating in
the crib, something she may try if
extremely stressed.
