August 8th – International Cat Day: The Pet-to-Baby Transition & Curiosity

Happy International Cat Day! Your cat is either aloof, confused, or overly curious about the new baby (or the baby nursery gear!).

Quick Parent Tip: Use today to practice “Safe Curiosity.” Allow your cat to sniff baby blankets, crib railings, or strollers before baby is in them, while rewarding them with treats. Reframing pet management as passive positive reinforcement keeps your household calm and safe for everyone.
