you know what's wierd? That a cat can totally understand that a baby is a baby and not only let itself be totally abused but will also get that the baby "doesn't mean it" and will continue to hang around it. One of my cat won't even stay in the house if Sparkle is awake but my other one lets himself be pulled, pinched, slept on and dragged around by his foot -- all without hissing, running away and/or scratching (inadvertant or otherwise). Sweet, because it's obvious Spark adores him but wierd nonetheless...
