I have two cats, a Himalayan and an orange tabby. The orange tabby can get pretty territorial. We're expecting a baby in March and have been trying to keep her out of the crib using tin foil, but about every other night, I'll wake up to find her playing with the foil in the crib. She'll run out as soon as I get up to shoo her, so she knows she's not supposed to be in there. She loves to chew on the tape whenever we get packages, so I'm not sure the double-sided tape trick will work, but I'm willing to try it if you think it's worth a shot. She can jump into the crib from the nearby window sill and from the floor.
I'm especially concerned because today, the Himalayan got into the crib (and did NOT care for it, so not worried about her) and the orange tabby immediately became very agitated and chased her out. So now I'm worried that she sees the crib as "her territory" and will see the baby as an intruder. We have a studio apartment and will only be moving in October, so closing the door to keep her out is not an option. Any advice?
