How to Keep a Cat Out of a Crib

Although most experts agree that it is unlikely that a cat would harm an infant, many parents think it is best to keep a cat out of a baby's crib. Cats are climbing animals with curious dispositions, but with some behavioral modifications, it is possible to make baby's crib off-limits to your cat.

Instructions

    1

    Place a piece of plastic carpet runner in the baby's crib, spiky side up. The spikes will discourage the cat from sleeping in the baby's crib.

    2

    Install an inexpensive screen door on the door to the baby's room. This way, you can see and hear the baby, but the cat can't get in.

    3

    Place netted crib tent over the baby's crib.

    4

    Put double-sided tape on a piece of cardboard and put it on the mattress to keep your cats out of the baby's crib. Cats hate anything that sticks to their paws.

    5

    Give the cat a scare by placing some empty aluminum cans in the crib. After a few tries, your cat will avoid the baby's crib.

    6

    Toss several balloons in the baby's crib. Once the cat pops a few of them with her claws, she won't be coming back for more.

    7

    Spray the baby's mattress lightly with a mixture of water and lemon juice, or soak a few cotton balls in lemon juice and place them in the baby's crib. How to Stop Cat Peeing? Click Here!. Cats hate the pungent scent of lemon.
