Keeping pets out of crib

[llghoney]

Any ideas for a cat?

Close the door and don't let the cat in.

lol, I do that but I have to put junk in front of it like a vacum cleaner, pillows, etc.. to keep him from scratching & meowing forever.

I just googled it and found that there are scat mats...

Ooo thanks! I wonder though how that tents works. As in having to take it off every time you get the child out, etc...

if you have time to actually retrain the cat here's what you do. Get a can of canned air (you know the kind you use to clean electronics) then just kind of hang out and wait for the cat to get into the crib when it does spray it with canned air in it's face...the cat will leave the crib and after a few times the cat will get the picture and stay out of the crib!

Ooo that's a good idea too! Thx!

From what I read it has a zipper...like a tent

For now at my inlaws, we keep the pack and play away from the kitties via a shut door.
When it is down, they can check Jonathan out through the mesh BUT are not allowed in it. If we see them act like they are interested in hopping in, we shoo them away.

no pets yet at our own home.. so it's slow going here. The tent idea looks good. I haven't seen anything like that for the cribs here, just the mosquito netting or "himmelbett" stuff

I like the look of that tent thing.

i thought about this recently, we do a squirt bottle with our cats I think thats what we will do...

I did the air can thing & it worked but now I gotta see if he stays out. He gets in ther during the day but he's never been in it with her thank goodness. The funny thing too is we had that crib up for a long time before she came & he never got in the thing.

The cat may just be curious about this new "hairless stranger" in his home and he wants to investigate and also place his scent in the places the baby goes. I think the air should keep him out though you may have to spray him a few times before he gets the idea.

I was thinking it may be jealous.

Is this your crazy cat?

Whack him with a lightweight slipper or rolled up newspaper and let him know you are not pleased about it.

When I see the tent all I can think of is man my cat would love to climb that!!

YES!

I wish that is all it took for him to stop. We've done that several times trying to get him to stop doing things.
