I've spent far too much time watching those kinds of clips myself. I can only hope my own pet turns out to be just as gentle with the baby; perhaps having that presence will help soothe them when things get restless.😁
The other day I ran into an acquaintance, and naturally, she noticed I was pregnant and immediately jumped to the question of what on earth I plan to do with my cat once the baby arrives...🙂
I found myself stuck in this ridiculous loop of explaining how my cat is strictly an indoor pet, fully vaccinated, up to date on all his vet visits, blah blah blah—as if I’d ever just abandon a companion who has been my constant through everything for nearly ten years, making me happy every single day😢 and as if it would even be remotely sane to just toss him out onto the street now.
But honestly, my cat and I talk to him every day, telling him he’s about to get a little brother or sister, warning him that babies can be a bit clumsy, but promising him we'll always protect him.😍
I truly hope he lives a long life so that when my baby arrives, they can experience firsthand just how wonderful having a little creature like him is, and how great it feels to have such a loyal friend by your side.
