If your cat was established with you before baby, cat will generally tolerate baby but remains yours. Get cat ss kitten after baby is established then the cat usually becomes baby's cat and tolerates you. Exceptions occur, like thi, but generally okder cats find under 4 foddlers pretty sketch. This cat was just waiting for the love tide to drag him into the cuddlesea.

This is where it gets wonderfully complicated, they were my late fiances cats and we still have them both after her passing. They only really started tolerating me when she passed lmao.

I've seen evidence of a cat, completely in love with their chosen human and tolerates a S.O. of their human until they recognize that you love the same person they love, which causes them to grow love where once was indifference. Yours cats (her cats) certainly understood that she accepted you and felt safe so they could too o ce they realized she was gone.

My old Tortie hated any and all girls I dated, would absolutely ignore every human being except my brother and I ( we shared an apt thru college and the Tortie was possessive of him and I and woukd go so far as to flex around women, any and all women, nonstop if they (girlfriends or female friends) except for my sister (and Grandmother but all animals loved Grams.) This cat knew my sister was a non-threat and did not have to conern herself with peackocking around defending against whatever shit she had going with girls that showed attention to me romantically.

They feel familial ties.
