    Cat hair cannot kill a human baby, but with any type of animal fur, it carries germs. I am sure you won't have the cats in your nursery, as I wouldn't allow that either. Your baby won't be laying on the floor, I don't think, where anyone laying on the floor would come in contact with just about anything.

    Just use your common sense, enjoy your cats, enjoy your baby when it comes along.

    I'm a cat lover too. I did give up my two cats after finding out I was pregnant. One started marking or spraying. The other cat liked to sleep on top of my head. I couldn't stop thinking about my baby with this cat on her face. Gave them both up to loving homes. I was never without one before, or after... I love cats
