Cat Becomes Pregnancy Guardian And Forms Bond With The Baby After Her Owner Gave Birth
Cats in the internet world are mainly the subjects of memes and adorable reaction photos as substitutes for GIFs, and we can't seem to get enough of them! While cats are usually perceived to be aloof and sneaky, they can also be loving and affectionate.
When a Facebook user named Liel Ainmar Assayag posted documentation of her cat's peculiar behavior throughout her pregnancy journey, the story certainly caught a lot of eyes and hearts with how adorably sweet her cat is! Even before Liel's son was born, the cat already displayed a heartwarming amount of affection by staying near her owner's belly.
Stories like this are certainly the highlights of social media—especially those that involve a healthy dose of cuteness overload. Having a baby and a pet can be a taxing job for some, but for Liel, she was quite lucky that her cat helped her throughout this important milestone in her life.
Come to think of it, having pets and kids can be quite rowdy, and you will sometimes wonder if they will ever get along, especially if the pet can be quite territorial. But Liel was certainly one of the fortunate ones who witnessed her adopted cat's devotion in loving her child, even before he was born.
Meet Panda!
Here's Liel's adopted cat, and she's called Panda. Liel made sure to capture all her "guardian" moments throughout her pregnancy.

Panda seemed so sure and determined to protect this baby from the belly. Throughout the nine months of Liel's pregnancy, Panda was always there, ready to snuggle and hug her belly.

Panda even goes out of her way to display her love by completely hugging her owner's body, paws and all. It's certainly a sight to melt for.

Seeing a cat so affectionate is honestly a wonderful moment, and it's even more special if you are on the receiving end of it. Panda seems so at peace snuggling in and protecting the belly from harm.

Not only is she doing a good job, but she does it so consistently and loyally, too! It looks like she's really committed to serving as a guardian for Liel's yet-to-be-born baby.

Once the baby arrived, Panda was sure to remain committed to her role. The cat can't seem to keep her paws off the baby!

If this is not adorable enough for you, then get your eyes and heart checked! Just kidding.

But seriously, look at them cuddling—doesn't it make you feel warm and gooey inside?
Even as the baby began to grow into toddlerhood, Panda was always there, persistently guarding him. It looks like he really did form a bond with his sibling.

Yep, still snuggling and never letting the kid out of her sight!

Panda's affection truly captured a lot of hearts online, and for all the right reasons.

Sometimes, pet owners have a hard time trying to form a relationship with their pets or make them tolerate their kids or other people in the family. Luckily, Liel doesn't seem to have that problem with Panda.
Panda's loyalty runs deep, and that has certainly been proven throughout these years. Have you ever encountered a similar situation with an animal?
