Amy, who is mum to both the baby and the cat, filmed the scene.
Ziggy can be seen sitting beside the baby's cot, while the little one is fast asleep.
A warm welcome
The cat slips his paw between the bars of the cot. He seems determined to touch the head of this new little creature he has yet to meet. It's undoubtedly his way of getting to know him!
However, Ziggy's paw has claws, and the baby's head is still bald, so caution is needed. Amy makes sure the cat doesn't get any closer. She can be heard telling him, ”No!” while laughing. The baby has only been home for an hour, and he has already captured the cat's full attention. It's safe to say he's very determined to welcome the newcomer!
A supervised scene
The video has been viewed more than 303,000 times on TikTok. In the comments, one user joked, ”Ziggy, you need to wash your hands before you touch the baby!” It's a humorous way of highlighting the importance of supervising all interactions between pets and children.
Fortunately, Amy was supervising the entire interaction and didn't let the cat touch the baby. We're sure this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship between Ziggy and the little one. Watch this space!
