Our cat's would climb in the crib and snuggle down next to the babies, and the babies would snuggle right back. If the baby started fussing, the cats would sit up and " wait for the wife or I to make that noisy thing quiet again.
It got to one point that when my son was about 8-9 months, he actualy would go to sleep faster when a cat would join him. Usually it was the big tom, that would climb in and just start purring and my son would just be asleep in no time. Our son is now 6 and any cat that isn't on our bed, is more than likely on his bed, and he still goes to sleep faster with a cat with him. I'll say this, that big male, is friendly as all get out, and while he would take the rough play, but, would smack any kid that would be mean. That is one smart cat, and appears to know the difference between play ( even rough play ) and harassment.
