Many parents worry about how their pets will react as soon as the family grows by another member.

Andrea from the US state of Arizona was no exception. She told Newsweek that her cat often lay on her baby bump and "purred almost every night".

It seemed like Diana was already bonding with the soon-to-be-born baby - and when son Cannon was finally born, the feline responded even more lovingly and empathetically than before.

In a sweet video shared by Andrea on her TikTok channel, she can be seen hugging Cannon while the cat also cuddles the baby .

Diana even seems to have a smile on her face - a sure sign that the kitten is feeling very comfortable.
