Family Hired A New Nanny, Then The Cat Exposed Her

When we are told about the brave actions of an animal, to protect its human, we automatically think of a dog. It makes sense since dogs are amazingly loyal, but many animals have the capability of bonding with humans, even at such a level, that they would risk their lives to protect them from harm.

Cats are one of them, and this is a story of how one cat managed to save the life of a 9-month-old baby from the hands of a suspicious babysitter.

A Happy Family

Our story begins with Carrie and Dennis, a lovely couple who was living quietly with their cat, Zara. Everything seemed to be going great for them, with a nice house and stable jobs. Domestic bliss. What came to shake this delicate balance was the baby.

Of course, they wanted a baby, and they were extremely happy and thankful for it, but there was one major concern.

The Cat Problem

Cats are very territorial creatures, so they were concerned that if they bring a baby to the house, Zara would be aggressive towards it, making them very anxious about how to deal with this tricky situation.

What they were afraid of the most, was that the cat would attack the baby, so they would be forced to give the cat away. They were surprised when they brought the baby into the house for the first time.

Zara went to them as usual but was surprised by the smell of the baby. She was hesitant to approach him at the beginning, not knowing what was happening. Slowly, slowly, she mustered the courage and got closer to the new member of the family.

The couple was on high alert, ready to intervene if something went wrong, but they couldn’t expect what happened next.

Zara seemed to be ok with the baby. No hissing, no attacking, no nothing. As it turned out, not only was she ok with the baby, she was in love with it. From what the couple said, it was the definition of love at first sight. They couldn’t believe it.

After a few weeks, they were laughing at the thought that the cat would harm the baby.
