cat aggression and baby OTW

[MissmyAngel]

So my step-daughter has this cat. Her Mom got very sick just after her birth (something to do with her milk ducts) so she had to be bottle fed and to top it off, the owner of the cat let her jump on tables, get in garbage, and even taught her to attack her feet. (because we have dogs, so she figured the cat needed to defend herself)
Well as the cat grew older, she became harder and harder to manage. She would do what she wanted, and if I tried to take her off the table or out of the garbage, she would attack me. She eventually got to a point where she would start attacking for no reason. My step-daughter made the problem worse by ignoring the house rules and allowing the cat onto forbidden furniture.
I didn't want to say anything, but was really relieved when my step-daughter moved to her Mom's house. Now I'm expecting my first child, and my step-daughter announced she might be moving back in, and she brought the cat over last night. I pulled my DH aside and told him though I'm happy she might be moving back in, the cat poses a big problem. First off, the cat is likely to decide to jump into the pack n play, so I will be terrified to leave the baby alone for even a second, and then I'm concerned about the cat attacking the baby.
He doesn't want to say anything, because if he did, she wouldn't move back in. I really don't know what to do.

That is one big problem. You shouldn't have to go through any kind of stress like that, much less animal attack. You are pregnant and have to take care of yourself and your baby. I agree, the cat poses a threat to the baby as well. You will have to talk to your husband. There is no other way around it.

Otherwise you will have to set some rules in the house, and let your step-daughter know she has about four months to fully train her cat so she stops attacking people, especially you. You will have to talk to your hubby about this. This is not something to be taken lightly because there is a baby involved. Either the cat gets trained or your step daughter will have to place her up for adoption and make sure she goes to a good home. After all, it isn't the cat's fault. The cat was never shown any boundaries..and as a consequence she thinks attacking people is OK.

P.S. She attacked me only this morning for no reason. She was meowing at me to pet her, so I did, then she meowed at me again, and then started growling and jumped on my foot and bit and scratched me.
