we have two cats as well...they were here long before the baby
both of them have been awesome with her ( getting into things a little when they are looking for attention, but never anywhere near the babe)
when i was pg, dh changed the litter and i stayed away. for the few times that hubby was away, i had a box of rubber gloves from the pharmacy nearby and would just pull out a disposable pair and go to town. no worries.
watching kids with animals is a joy...and animals with kids as well. hope itall works out
