DH and I finally adopted another cat. We have been wanting to get a furry pet for a while. As it turns out our dog allergies are worse than our cat allergies. We picked up a 4 month old orange tabby kitten from the hennipin Co humane society. He is such a sweet cat, he started purring when we walked by his cage. He is good with DD, he just wants to snuggle and purr. He will even try to nuzzle DD's face, she is more skittish than the cat, lol. I know we will need to be careful when the baby is born. DH handles litter, that is just his job, and I am at most a couple weeks from delivering my baby. I still feel slightly crazy for adopting a cat. DH has been bugging me for about 2.5 years for another one. DD also said she wanted a new mommy because kitties made me sick (I just need clariten to fix the problem). She was 1 when our other cat passed away, and I have a video of her playing with the old cat. We also figured since we own a home rather than live in an apartment, we don't have to deal with the extra fees and stuff that apartments have. We just need to think of a better name for the new kitten  |

I love orange tabby cats! They seem to be very sweet and gentle - congrats on the new member of your family.
And, as you know, as long as you don't touch the cat poop while you're pregnant you will be fine.

I wouldn't do the litter anyway, even not pregnant. That is DH's job, it was with our old cat, and will be again.

Congrats on your new kitty!! I can't wait to get another kitty! I have 2 right now. I love orange tabbys! I'm hoping to get an orange female with bright blue eyes and I'm going to name her Harlow.  I got to wait until we move out of these apts though. Haha being preggo is the only way I could get DH to clean the litter box otherwise it's always me. It's been nice not having to do it for the last 6 months! Congrats again on your new kitty! I hope you get a name picked out for him soon |
