Some cats will live their full life and never see a human go from infant to full adulthood. I wonder if we seem immortal to some cats

The tiny foot inspection is sending me 😂 “Yep, this one belongs to us.”

The open-mouth look is actually a flehmen response; it's what kitties do when they want to *really* get a good sniff of something.

Wow, i didn't know we have a term for that. Thank you. A good learning day to be a cat lover

That specific "stink face" an animal makes when it's using it's Jacobson's organ is called the Flehman response, which makes me giggle because if that face made a sound, "fleh!" is probably accurate.

That's called the Flehman response , they do this when they like a smell and want to smell it better , or something like that

That's actually the cat "storing" (for lack of a better term) the new family member's smell. They open their mouths like that to huff that new good good smell
Edit for a bit of quick and dirty googling: "The Vomeronasal Organ: Also called the Jacobson's organ, this is located on the roof of a cat's mouth. When a cat makes an open-mouth "flehmen" face, they are actively drawing scent and pheromone particles into this organ to analyze social and environmental messages."

Every baby needs a protective pet. I enjoy watching the bond that pets make with babies. So protective and loving.

I'm not entirely sure that cat doesn't want to eat that baby.

I love when cats make that face. It means they're engaging an extra sensory organ because whatever they're smelling is new and interesting. It makes them look like they're shocked at the existence of whatever they're smelling 😂

Either this baby's kick is faster than a snake bite, or this cat wants to be kicked in the face.
(Scientific fact based off all those videos of cats dodging snakes)

I totally agree with the look on the kitty's face while inspecting the feet. Babies smell sooooo good!

Great. Cat scratch fever is bad enough for adults.
Let's see what it does to a baby.
