## Resource

People often get nervous when they find out they are expecting, but they have a cat in their household. Often well-meaning friends and relatives give all kinds of unsolicited advice, often boiling down to getting rid of Fluffy. Is that really fair to you or Fluffy? Far from being the mythical cat that will snatch the baby’s breath, cats are very loving beings and often bond closely with their human baby siblings. Also, did you know that babies raised with cats can experience reduced allergies, enhanced immune systems, and improved social-emotional skills like empathy and responsibility. Dr. Rachel Geller is here to talk with Rita about taking the fear out of introducing cat and baby, so we can set Fluffy up for a successful bond with your child and dispel some of those old myths.
