8-Week-Old and Family's Cat Are the Best of Friends

A family’s newborn baby and their cat are now best of buds.

"When we first brought Sonny home she watched him from a short distance, I think she feels her role is to watch over everyone, like a hawk, that’s her way of protecting,” Boggs told InsideEdition.com. “I realized Sonny and Mia had a special bond when she started doing things to him that she only does to me, favoring him just as she does me."

Boggs said she thinks the cat realizes that Sonny came from the belly that she had cuddled while she was carrying him.

"Mia's bond with Sonny is different and special because she has really taken on the role of his second mom,” Boggs said “She will pull Sonny's hands to her face with her paws, she hugs his head and gives him little kisses on the top of it, and loves cuddling in as close as she can during nap time.”

And, it seems that Sonny loves to be just as cozy with his furry friend.
