A family rescued a cat from a farm, and the kitty decided to guard and protect their baby for life.
Meet Tiger!
Stefano De Munari
Stefano De Munari from Italy met Tiger the cat at his barn. The kitty was found abandoned and he immediately took a liking to the man.
"Sometimes it is meant to be. He chose me then, and when we found out that we were having our daughter Sofia, he was always close to her even when she was still in the mother's belly," Stefano told Love Meow.
Tiger snuggled up to the mother's belly and fell asleep on it, purring up a storm.

After Sofia was born, Tiger was eager to meet her. Since then, he hasn't left her side as her very own purrsonal bodyguard.
"Since she was born, he has been protecting her and the two are always together," Stefano told Love Meow.
