The article discusses the change in behavior of a cat named Detective Munch following the birth of a baby. The author notices that the cat, previously always present in their bedroom, has begun to sleep elsewhere, leading to concerns about her health. Despite her senior age, the cat is physically fine. The author reflects on the typical challenges of introducing a new baby to pets and the emotional strain it can cause for both animals and owners, exploring their worries and observations throughout this transition period.
I worried this was an indication of the worst. She's a senior cat, maybe 13 years old, and I wondered if she was getting sick, but Detective was fine physically.
My son was born in late 2023. We were a little worried about how Detective would deal with it. Websites provide detailed instructions, but who knows if those would work.
For the first months of his life, Simon slept in our room in a bassinet at the foot of our bed. Detective was curious about this.
I have no idea if those cat pheromone devices work. There's that TikTok where the cat is looking at the wall because she's mad about the newborn.
