I’ve heard it said that female cats can get broody in the presence of a new baby in the house. She’s also possibly a bit jealous and just fancies a bit of a fuss too.
My wife is going through the menopause and right now is all over the place with her hormones etc, and Dizzy definitely notices it - when Jenn is resting up in bed Dizzy rarely leaves her side and makes a big fuss of her. I guess cats are pretty sensitive to hormones and pheromones and the like.

Anyone had a baby during cat ownership? We had our first 3 weeks ago and Heidi is acting unusual (although in ways I like). The main one being she has suddenly become a lap cat after 1 year of no fucking way will I sit on your lap. She's started kneading my leg. Is she jealous? My wife is pretty much giving her zero attention now so I'm guessing she feels rejected? She's indifferent towards the little one, just gives him a sniff every now and again and walks off.
