We’re adult human beings. The mind of a baby, and the mind of a cat, are both closed doors to us. We can only imagine what’s going on in there, when cats and babies get together. Gee, I’d love to remember what it felt like to be a baby. But not for longer than three or four minutes.
Note how gentle that one cat is with the baby who insists on pulling his ears.
Is this little kid blessed, or what?
Thanks to Patty’s friend, Carol, who sent us this picture.
True, not all the cats in this video fall instantly in love with the baby. Some of them seem to be not quite sure what this strange creature is. I dunno, maybe babies smell funny–to some cats. But others go right for the licking and the rubbing and the purring. Gee, that must feel so good to a baby!
I’m just not right. I loaded this video at the usual time and then just plumb forgot to post it. Looking at my stats just now, I wondered why no one had bothered to watch the cat video. Then I discovered that there was no cat video. *Sigh* Well, better late than never.
What–that cute little chameleon didn’t do it for you? You want something… well, fuzzier?
All right, here’s a baby and a kitten cuddling each other. They’re going to grow up together, although the cat will do it ever so much faster. But what a bond they’ll have!
Thank you, Our Heavenly Father, for creating this. We never would’ve thought of it.
So many cats and dogs are so good with babies, you’d think anyone who had a baby would rush right out and get a pet. I wish my parents had.
Although the one pug dog, regardless of the delight expressed by the baby, does make me wonder what he intends to do with the child. I hope he doesn’t have a den somewhere…
I tag these videos “Sanity Medicine” for a reason. There’s so much insanity around; and the cellar is flooded with wickedness. But this is God’s stuff. It’s good. It’s sane. Cats and babies, and a little glimpse into what the Lord has in store for us, when he restores and regenerates Creation. And all that bad stuff will be gone. Forever.
Is it just me being sappier than usual, or is there something especially sweet and beautiful about this video? What gorgeous cats! What sweet little babies! Just about brought tears to my eyes. I think we’re getting a look at something that’s a foretaste of what God has in store for us who love Him.
I’d better go wash some dishes.
All right, perhaps I exaggerate–although you’ll never get any of these cats to admit they’re not raising the baby, maybe with some help from bigger humans. But look how good these cats are with these babies! I wish my parents had had a cat for me to play with, when I was a baby. (And note the poor dog left outside and frantic to get in and join the fun.)
You can’t always get a baby-sitter when you need one, but sometimes a cat will do the job. Here are some cats with a knack for baby-sitting–including one wise cat who decides Junior really shouldn’t be fiddling with the stove. I had some nice baby-sitters when I was little, but none as nice and fuzzy as these. Then again, I’m sure Phyllis R. would not have wanted to be fuzzy.
