You can have our cat I hate it and it hates me he is basically a piece of furniture in our household now plus he toejams outside his litter box for spite!
Seriously though my wife is pregnant and the cat will need a home soon, she is nervous about having a cat in the house with a baby.

my daughter left me with two cats when she moved. They are very little trouble and.... since i am single... are ideal pets. I don't have to worry about em when I take off for the weekend which is frequent. I leave em an automatic feeder for water and food.... they even have automatic cat boxes now. The cats don't stink.. Dog people don't evenm notice that their house stinks like dog (i had a dog for 14 years).
I have two cats at work. I am on about 500 acres at work surrounded by farmland. We used to have a lot of destuction of electrical equipment and general filthy conditions from mice and snakes. The cats have totally eleminated the problem. The dogs around are totally destructive and kill livestock and other large animals.... they roam large areas in small packs, groups of 2-4 and are good for nothing more than target practice. On the good side... they are easy to hit even on the run with a handgun. the ranchers here leave dog carcassas hanging from barbed wire fences.

I hope you are cleaning out that litter box and not letting your wife do it. Litter boxes contain stuff that may be harmful to developing babies and pregnant moms.

Even though the pup is a pain sometimes she is sooooooo much more fun then the damn cat.
Though watching the one time the pup caught the cat by suprise was priceless!! The dog rolled the then stood over it and the cat just had no clue it!

Adam and Eve said, ''Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us.''
And God said, ''No problem! I will create a
companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me.
Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves.''
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.
And it was a good animal.
And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail. And Adam said, ''Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal.''
And God said, ''No problem. Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG.''
And dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.
And they were comforted.
And God was pleased.
And dog was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, ''Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peanoodles and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well.''
And God said, ''No problem! I will create for them a companion who will be with them forever and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration.''
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And cat would not obey them.
And when Adam and Eve gazed into cat's eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.
And Adam and Eve learned humility.
And they were greatly improved.
And God was pleased.
And Dog was happy.
And Cat didn't give a toejam one way or the other.

There's no need to be nervous. There's only 1 precaution you need to take - get a cover on the crib (looks like a heavy gauze canopy).
The 'old wives tale' of cat's 'stealing babies' breath as they sleep' comes from this - cats are very social animals. If you've ever seen a large group of cats living together you know what I mean. Cats *love* to sleep on/next to/melded to babies. If the cat is sleeping over the babe's face, *before* the baby has the neck strength and delevoped reflex to shift position when air is cut off while sleeping, the baby will suffocate.
But when I was a baby our cat saved me some serious damage. The cat was tight with Mom and I got ahold of a packet of jello mix in my crib. Mom and Dad thought I was taking a nap, and I chewed the packet open and aspirated a ton of jello mix (some say that's why my brains turned to jello eheheh). Cat came into Parent's bedroom and started raising hell. Mom goes to pick up cat to quiet it (because I'm sleeping) and cat goes right to my bedroom door and keeps getting pissed.
Anyways, if the reason you are looking to find the cat a new home is because of safety for the kid on the way - just get the crib cover. They're great pets for kids - because they only get in touching distance when they are comfortable with the kid, i.e. no 'kid corners cat and gets bit'. I still remember the first day (age 3 or so) the cats stayed in my lap and let me pet them (had been getting lessons on how to pet soft, etc. from Dad). Super proud of myself.
