There's a pretty good chunk of time when cleaning up your kid's pee without losing your cool is all the situation calls for. Could be a baby who isn't even aware they're peeing but needs to air out their diaper area to prevent a rash. Or a toddler you're attempting to potty train. One of the most common potty training methods involves them just being naked and you trying to get them to the potty whenever you notice them peeing until they get the idea. And you doing anything other than being chill about it is gonna cause anxiety around them learning this new skill.
Cats do not just pee in random areas for no reason. And them having a cat & kid do this very much indicates issues in regards to them.
One of the main reasons a cat might pee outside their litter box is a disrupted routine. I can't imagine how that might happen if you have a newly mobile baby. Must be because this person is a bad parent and cat owner.
