Cat Behavior Around Pregnant Women

Thursday July 15, 2004
MGREEN0218 asks: "Our 2 cats (5 year old sisters from the same litter) have suddenly, within the last couple of months, started fighting with each other. They have always been so calm and nice to each other. That in itself is disturbing, but now one of them is urinating on the floors and countertops. They seem alternate who is the aggressor. We have been told that a change in environment could cause this kind bahavior. My wife is now 8 months pregnant. Does anyone know if cats will sense this?"
