MANILA, Philippines – Many would say that pets and babies would never get along. Animals would always act like animals and might even feel jealous of the new baby! That’s the reason why many would-be parents are warned to keep their babies away from their pets. Yet this has long been proven to be false.
Recently, adorable photos of a cat taking care of the family’s new baby went viral after the surprised parents posted the pictures on Facebook.
Joey Mansalungan shared the pictures on Facebook page CATS and DOGS RESCUE PHILIPPINES for good vibes, narrating that the cat had done this while she and her husband were out for a while.
Their male cat named Keanu had long wanted to be near their newborn baby, Cael whose full name is Nyx Caelum Luminous Mansalungan. But it never had the chance to do this with the child’s parents always nearby.
According to Joey, while she and her husband were out to buy medicines for Cael, the cat found the opportunity to be near the baby. Instead of harming the baby as some might expect, the cat curled up with the kid and appeared to fuss over him.
The cat looked rather curious of Cael’s pacifier and held it for a bit while the baby slept.
The couple’s elder daughter Sodina took the photos as she thought the cat looked so adorable as it took care of baby Cael.
“Matagal na po nyang gustong lapitan yung anak ko, ngayon lang sya nagkaroon ng magandang pagkakataon,” Joey explained.
“Pampa-good vibes po sa ating lahat na nagkaproblema dahil sa mga nagdaang bagyo… always remember that we're love by everyone no matter what, who, or when…”
