If you're a cat pawrent, you know your cat has their routine. And honestly, every household with a cat in it is managed by the cat's schedule. That's just part of being a cat pawrent, there's nothing bad about it. Your cat decides you should get up at a specific time? Well, good morning then, because the cat has probably woken you up. Your cat is sure now it's dinner time? Bon appetit, because the cat won't stop meowing until dinner is served. Such are the lives of cat pawrents.

But when your cat's routine is broken, cat pawrents get stressed. Oh, the woes of being a cat pawrent. But seriously, knowing your cat has a strict schedule and then, suddenly, it changes - it might raise some red flags. This is exactly what happened to a pair of parents who raise a cute tuxie cat. Their cat used to sleep in bed with them every night, even after they had kids. But at some point, the cat stopped sleeping in their bed. Routine change? That's suspicious. Especially because cats will be cats, meaning routine-oriented.

The parents who are also pawrents investigated. But the investigation results were not as stressful as a cat changing their routine. The results were actually very, very cute. Apparently, the cat moved from one bed to another - from the parents' bed, to their toddler's bed. The cat decided that his sleeping place has changed now, and reality just has to comply. But the process of adjusting wasn't met with any objections - on the contrary, the kid embraced the idea, by embracing the cat and cuddling him to sleep.

It was all caught on the security camera in the kid's room. Once shared, the online feline family collectively melted with how adorable this is. The wholesome comments came, describing hearts melting with cuteness. Some even shared their own cat cuddling stories, with cats and humans sleeping together at night. Honestly, our hearts have melted as well.

  • The night starts off pretty regularly - just a toddler sleeping in his bed. Nothing special about it.

  • This rather big cat is getting himself comfortable next to the kid's head. It's just how cats are - they show affection by invading your personal space, even when you're sleeping.

  • But the cat being all over the kid's face wakes him up. Does the kid get angry? No, not even one bit. The kid loves the cat. He loves him so much he wants to cuddle him - and that's exactly what he'll do.

  • “Oh, wait. Wait. This is kind of nice. The human puppy is hugging me. This cuddle is rather great. I think I can… fall… asleep… right here… right meow…”

    Comrade_Bender. My youngest son does this with one of our cats. I'll get up in the morning to go to work and will check on him, and they're just snuggling both asleep like the cat is a teddy bear 599 Reply

    Maiyku⚫ I think they realize they're just kids... somehow. Lol. I had an all black cat who was scared of everything. Big noise? Runs away. I sneeze? Runs away. It was funny because he was huge, 17lbs, so it really didn't make any sense.

    Then I started watching my nephew at a few weeks old. Expected my boy to be terrified of him and just stay away.... Couldn't have been more wrong.

    He loved my nephew. He would cuddle up with him, let him grab his tail, let him pull his hair, let him bite him (he always tried eating his ears Im o) and he would just sit there and take it.

    Never meowed, never swatted, never tried to get away. He showed more patience and understanding with my nephew than anything else. It was honestly beautiful to watch. 3.2K ○ Reply

    AmbitiousParty • That's how my cat is. He is very confident and comfortable with our little family, including my 10 yr old. However, anytime we have guests, even for days on end, you won't see him. If we have a pet sitter, he will hide the entire time. But if we have kids over, he loves all kids, and has zero fear. It's fascinating. Even if there are 5-6 rambunctious 9-10 year old boys over for a sleepover, he will hang out with them the whole time. 223 > Reply

    redclover83 ⚫ I love animals and trying to understand their worlds! Cats know that cats start out as little babies and how to treat them, not so crazy to think they understand humans start out small and that the small ones are just babies too! 3 ◇ Reply

    KateOTomato ⚫ My 3 year old cat is the same way. Hates adult strangers. When we have our D&D game on Sundays, Sprinkles is MIA for like 6 hours. When my daughter has a friend over for a sleepover, the cat is a bit standoffish for the first hour or two, but then is completely normal.
