Well it's Hectors turn to watch Freddie! Roxy managed to dodge every pic or I had some nice pictures of the side of her head

Thanks, Freddie will be five months old on the 11th. It's gone so fast!

He is, Roxy is more 'paws' on she likes to curl up on my knee while Freddie is feeding (sorry a picture of that will never be posted!!!!) She also washes his hair and tickles his face with her whiskas, I think she likes to make him giggle!

We had 8-9lbs Maltese dogs when my daughter was born. They did not like her at all (the female would try to bite her when she was at the crawling stage). I think these photos are great because I have heard of people giving away their cats when they have a baby, over fears that the cats are going to get in the crib and smother the baby.

I did get asked about rehoming them, but my response was no they are part of the family. Neither of them has ever tried to put a paw on Freddie - okay he does get attacked by their tails but lets face it they are big!!!!

The only problem I have had is that Hector thought the pram looked very comfy and tried a couple of times to have a snooze in it but soon learned if he did get in for 40 winks he only got about two as he was evicted quickly.
He now will go and sleep under Freddies crib until the sun moves round to the bedroom window when he stretches out on our bed and suns himself!

What lovely pictures Helen, all your babies are beautiful! As for rehoming, of course there is no need. Cats smothering babies is a bit of an old wives' tale. It looks like you have a harmonious crew there!

When I had my first daughter our moggie got so upset, but never once did he do anything to make me scared of him attacking her. Sadly he took the upset out on himself and literally 'tore-up' the room that we called his, pulling out a lot of his claws in the process, it looked like someone had committed a mass murder in there! It was when he stopped eating and grooming himself too that I realised it would be kinder to re-home him. It's lovely to see everyone so happy in these pics - so cute!
