Ragdoll Cat Makes Sweetest Attempt to 'Bathe' Human Baby
Babies are kind of controversial when it comes to pets. They either love them or they hate them, at least at first. They'll get used to it after a while... usually. My cat ran away and never came back when my sister was born. That's pretty extreme, though.
Apparently, some cats just love babies from the jump! On Saturday, July 12th, one sweet little Ragdoll kitten was described by his mom as "baby obsessed." She caught him trying to give her a bath, despite mom's wishes. She couldn't get too mad, though:
Pearl's Ragdolls have varied feelings about the new baby. Otis doesn't, though: he loves the baby, plain and simple. He'll be trying to bathe her until the moment he goes to his forever home!Otis is one of several kittens in this litter, and they've just started trickling out to their forever homes. He still had a little bit of time left, luckily. He has to make sure this baby is as clean as she can be before he goes! He also has to clean in secret, because mom doesn't love that.
If you ask me, she should love it! It could be worse: she has another Ragdoll who literally rolled her eyes when she met mom's new baby! Otis went the other way completely: he never wants to leave her side. He must think that baby is his, mom's totally just borrowing it!
It's officially time for Otis to go to his forever home. Hopefully the baby was totally clean before he left:
Cats grooming babies is not unusual at all. Grooming is how they show affection, plus babies are producing all kinds of oils they've never smelled before. It's natural for them to want to groom them.
While it's very sweet, you also need to make sure that the cat isn't licking the baby excessively: it can cause skin irritation. Cats should be completely barred from licking a baby's hands, feet, arms, or legs, too. Anything that they can put in their mouths needs to be clean at all times.
Not that that meant anything to Otis. He was totally devoted to cleaning that baby!

This Iconic Disney World Attraction Just Reopened With New Tech, Scenes, and Thrills—What to Know
Following an extensive refurbishment, Walt Disney World's Test Track has reopened with all new show scenes, on-board narration, vehicles, and queue. The high-speed thrill attraction has been an Epcot staple since 1999, and one of the Orlando destination's most popular rides. And now park goers can race to what Disney has called an all-new 'reimagined experience' that celebrates 'today's innovation while highlighting the past, present, and future.' The new Test Track is a collaboration between General Motors and Walt Disney Imagineering. Riders will first walk through a queue featuring six distinct exhibits that 'celebrate the vehicles—and people behind the vehicles—that push the envelope and help get people to our next chapter in our motion journey.' On display are futuristic, concept cars. Once on board, riders will journey through various show scenes that depict 'technological advances and how our lifestyles and relationships to mobility connect everyone.' The attraction taps into the spirit of the open road while showcasing the unique vantage point of how vehicles 'see' the world around us. To create this effect, Walt Disney Imagineering utilized over 29,000 points of light. And fans need not worry: The popular scenic outdoors portion where riders are thrust to an exhilarating 65 miles per hour remains. Guests will then exit into a sprawling Vehicle Showcase displaying the latest innovations from General Motors. The newly-refreshed ride also pays tribute to the early days of Epcot and its legacy. Longtime visitors will notice an all-new musical score featuring the 'It's Fun To Be Free,' theme song for World of Motion, the attraction that once occupied the space where Test Track sits today. And its exterior has also been given a refresh, inspired by the original pavilion's design. Test Track will operate with a standard queue and a single rider line. The attraction is also available to book through Disney World's paid expedited line system, Lightning Lane Multi Pass. Walt Disney World is currently celebrating 'Cool Kid Summer' with new experiences that include two all-new stage shows at Disney's Hollywood Studios, 'The Little Mermaid—A Musical Adventure' and 'Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After,' and a brand-new evening parade at Magic Kingdom Park, 'Disney Starlight: Dream The Night Away.' And later this year, guests can look forward to a brand-new Pirates of the Caribbean-themed tavern, The Beak and Barrel, at the Magic Kingdom Park.
