Maus the kitty met Dominic for the first time after he was born. From that day on, he knew the little baby would become his best friend for life. This is how their friendship began.

Dominic’s mom Beth N. documented this adorable bond between Maus and the baby on her flickr. Maus watched his human buddy grow and learn to crawl and walk and is always there to keep him company. This series of 12 photos may just send you into a diabetic coma.

    This is precious! Maus is a big fellow, bbut it's so sweet he sees the baby as family and snuggles to him. He has sharp teeth and claws that could do a lot of harm to a baby but all he wants to do is take care of him <3

    I'm due to have my son in 2 months and I hope that our cat will take to our son like this! Absolutely adorable.

    when my grandson was born our cat took to him just like that.she was very protective of him.at first we would move her away.she made it clear he was hers. she never scratched or harmed him in any way.he would pull her ears and her fur.she just let that go.it is surprising how some animals take to other animals and things just like people.

    I love it! We often see cats and dogs being BFFs. But cats and babies? Awesome!

  12. katie says:

    ADORABLE! SOMETIMES YOU HEAR STORIES HOW THE CAT BECOMES JEALOUS OF THE BABY, NOT IN THIS CASE, THEY ARE BEST BUDDIES.

  13. Meg says:

    I think Maus is going to be instrumental in the development of a species of which there are not enough–CAT MEN!!

    Just lovely….

    Dominic is such an adorable little man! I love how expressive he is. Maus is so cute and sweet, he clearly adores his buddy! Too precious (:

    Awww!!!That's just SO adorable! I guess Dominic's mom prepared Maus for the his (Dominic's) arrival before he came.If she did, that's a smart move!

    I haven't seen this cat that was so big…

  19. Helena says:

    The last picture made me lol so hard!

  20. Charlotte says:

    Squeee….Oooo Mause is a such a darling!! And Dominic's one cute baby!! ♥♥

    I just love this! I currently have a seven and a half month old. One of our two cats just loves our little boy. They are buddies all the way just like your two are. He actually is wearing a onesie right now that says "A Norwegian Forest Kitty is my Best Friend". I was so worried about them getting along and wouldn't have been if I had seen this before he was born. It's awesome! What a cute boy and kitty you have!

  22. Dawnelle says:

    This is too sweet ♥♥. When I was a kid, I had a nice Kitty like Maus and we also grew up best buds, so this brings back some nice memories for me. I also hope that when I have a child, he/she will also take to a cat like this.

    a boy and his best pal!

    this is one of my favorite posts. we should train kids to love animals and they would grow up with compassion and care about things other than just human.

    thanks for the post. really lovely.

  25. Susan says:

    These are beautiful pictures. You can just feel the love through every picture. Mommy Beth…you're doing something right that these two little ones are so comfortable & obviously bonded together. You really made my day. Thank you.

  26. NAN says:

    Wow…anyone can see that Dominic just 'belongs' to Maus. What wonderful pictures. Just goes to show that cats have always had that 'human' connection since time began!

  27. Markus says:

    Friends forever :)

  28. Iffat says:

    They are both so adorable. I always choose cats over babies in terms of cuteness factor, but I'd say these two are tied on the cuteness meter. What a wonderful bond they share.

  29. Starla says:

    That was insanely cute! I've never seen anything like that.

  30. wow, thank you for being a parent who understands how important it is for children to interact with pets :) So many people get rid of their cats when they have a new baby… it is so nice to see that you embraced this relationship!

    Your son will be a better person for it… compassion for animals will always lead to compassion for other humans :)

  31. This article is another example of how CATS can

    and do give us many hours of love.

  34. Miranda Lester says:

    Growing up, family cats were among my best friends and I hope that our cats now will also welcome our children the way Maus did!! Thank you so much for sharing these!!

  35. Kelly says:

    Maus reminds me of my Creamsicle boy! I’m sure my kitties would take good care of a baby too. They love my little nieces as it is! (3 and 5 years old).
