Did you buy this for your cat or for your baby?

• 

  Infant car seat ✓ Right ✗ Wrong

  Even if your cat has clocked up far more hours in it than your baby, you bought the infant car seat for car journeys with your baby. This shell-shaped seat clips onto a base or straps in with the seat belt, rear-facing, and is only used in the first few months.

• 

  Nursing pillow ✓ Right ✗ Wrong

  Your cat thought this big squashy crescent was for them, but no: you bought the nursing pillow to prop up your baby during breastfeeds and bottles. It also supports the bump in late pregnancy, then helps the baby learn to sit up.

• 

  Carrycot ✓ Right ✗ Wrong

  Your cat tried it out before the baby arrived and has put in a claim for the day the baby outgrows it. But the carrycot was always meant for the baby: lying flat, they sleep in it on walks, from birth until around six months.

• 

  Changing bag ✓ Right ✗ Wrong

  Your cat loves bags, but this one isn't for them. The changing bag goes out and about with the baby: nappies, wipes, a spare outfit, a bottle and a folding mat, everything you need for an emergency change, wherever you are.

• 

  Changing table ✓ Right ✗ Wrong

  A padded mat up high: of course your cat is drawn to it. But you set up the changing table to change your baby, at a comfortable height to spare your back. Your cat doesn't wear a nappy. Not yet, anyway.

• 

  Play mat ✓ Right ✗ Wrong

  Your cat will take over this mat the moment the baby isn't on it, but however many cat hairs end up on it, it remains the baby's mat. Its arches, mirrors and dangling rattles stimulate a little one's sight, touch and hearing, lying on their back and then on their tummy.

• 

  Baby bouncer ✓ Right ✗ Wrong

  The bouncer is a reclined seat for the baby, who watches the household from it, snugly strapped in, while your hands are free. Your cat may be tempted to try it, especially if it rocks, but it isn't for them.

• 

  Dummy ✓ Right ✗ Wrong

  The dummy, or pacifier, is for the baby! It soothes their need to suck between feeds and helps them drop off. Your cat doesn't need one to calm down: a purr and a nap in the sun do the trick.

• 

  Pushchair ✓ Right ✗ Wrong

  Your nosy cat will no doubt hop in for a ride, but the pushchair is for the baby! It's used from birth with a carrycot or infant car seat, then as a seat. Pushchairs for cats do exist, but this isn't one of them.

• 

  Cot ✓ Right ✗ Wrong

  A bed is always irresistible to a cat, but this one is reserved for your baby! The bars, less than 6.5 cm apart, stop them falling out or getting stuck. Keep the bedroom door shut: a cat sleeping against a newborn is not a good idea.
