A protective kitten has captured the hearts of users across the internet with her innate babysitting skills.
In a viral Instagram video posted in April, mom Steph Evans (@stephrevans) shared how 4-month-old kitty, Miso, gently held back her 9-month-old human sister, Lola, as she tried to climb the stairs.
"When you thought $1,200 was a lot for a cat until you realize she's also a nanny" the 27-year-old from Utah County captioned the clip. "The nanny position has been filled", she added.
Evans told Newsweek that ever since they recently brought home their Siberian kitty, baby Lola has been laughing and smiling around her, and even just seeing Miso hanging out nearby "boosts her mood like crazy!"

"Lola met Miso at the family breeding cats who we bought her from, she was the only kitty who would stick around Lola instead of running away," she added.
Evans' older daughter, Renee, 4-years-old, also seems to be a big fan of the family's new pet. In a video shared in the same month, Ren and Miso are inseparable, doing everything together, from playing, to reading books and cuddling.
Indeed, cats can be incredible companions for children of all ages, not just because they're cute and cuddly, but because they can enrich their life, and help their development.
The Animal Humane Society explains that taking care of an animal can teach children how to be responsible. Cats in particular, with their solitary and skittish ways, can also teach them patience.
But the benefits of raising your kids with cats don't stop there. On a physical level, growing up around pets helps build up your child's immune system as they age.
And, last but not least, a cat will be their most loyal and trusted friend, always there to provide companionship when they're lonely or down.
The best cat breeds to have around children, according to Pet MD, include Ragdoll, Maine Coon, American Shorthair, Siamese, Birman, Burmese, Abyssinian, Norwegian Forest Cat, Siberian, Scottish Fold, Himalayan, and Manx.
The video quickly went viral on social media and it has so far received over 2.7 million views and 201,945 likes on the platform alone.
One user, Alyson.palmer, commented: "Holy cow I didn't know cats can be that expensive?! But she's like the most unique beautiful cat hahah! We're also getting a "nanny" that will be 4K."
Fallon.m83171 said: "This is so funny. Adorable how baby knew something was up."
Pampersus added: "A pawfect assistant."

23 Shallow Reasons People Won't Date Someone
Recently, Reddit user buboop61814 asked, "What's the pettiest reason you wouldn't be with someone?" People had A LOT to say — the post had over 4,400 comments! Here are some of the best and most interesting replies: "I would never date anyone with an outie belly button." —keeziia "I broke up with a little hippie girl because she always had dirty feet. She never wore shoes. I regretted it the rest of college." "They don't know the difference between 'your' and 'you're.'" "If they're REALLY into Phish." —bnovi "If they're a super slow walker. I can't do it." "The way she said my name didn't feel right. Like, the emphasis was on the wrong syllable, and it just bothered me." "I once ended things with someone who was otherwise very nice and compatible because her voice was cartoonishly high, and it grated on me terribly. No regrets, but I felt a little like a Seinfeld character." —CanaryPast8599 "If their phone is always at 3%, and they just don't care. You're too chaotic for my peace." "Guys who always have only 1/8 a tank of gas in their car and are fine with it. 😳" "If their name is Andrew. I already know too many Andrews. I simply cannot add another to the list." —CreatureMacKay "The way she texted. She would send message after message, and they easily could have been just one or two texts. Almost every word was sent as a separate message." "If they follow a bunch of Instagram models or influencers, I'm out." "If they have the same first name as a close relative. Just no." "I once broke up with a man because he drank an excessive amount of soda and left the empty cans IN THE SHOWER. Why was he going through 5-7 cans of various sodas per day — exclusively in the shower? Couldn't be for any normal reason. I noped out of there." "They refused to buy toilet paper and bought paper towels for wiping instead. No thanks." "I broke up with a guy because he was 6'8 and had big feet. I just couldn't imagine laying in bed with him and seeing his big feet towering under the blankets." —Marianne0819 "When I was in eighth grade, I broke up with my girlfriend because she kissed her dog on the mouth. She cried." "If they drive around the parking lot outside a store for 10 minutes looking for the closest space. It takes everything in me not to pitch the biggest hissy fit." "He grunted like a hog when he finished." "I actually broke up with someone because she didn't know what a verb is. We were playing Mad Libs, and when I asked her to give me a verb she said, 'what's a verb?' So I ended it." —Jackpot777 "If they have way more energy than me." "Chewing with their mouth open." And finally, this person broke up with a guy because "the dude had a DOLPHIN LAUGH!" H/T r/AskReddit

Chris Pratt shares rare photos marking son Jack's milestone 13th birthday
Chris Pratt celebrated a milestone birthday with his oldest child. Pratt, 46, reveled in the fact that he now has a teenager at home as he honored his son Jack on his 13th birthday. The "Guardians of the Galaxy" star shared a rare gallery of fun times on social media Sunday to mark Jack's big day. Pratt and his ex-wife, Anna Faris, welcomed Jack in 2012 and have co-parented since their split in 2017. "I have a teenager???" Pratt wrote over a collection of images shared to his Instagram stories. "Jack, I can't believe you are 13 today. I've watched you grow into such an incredible young man, and am truly proud of the person you are becoming." Chris and Jack were pictured wearing matching Dodgers jerseys in one snap, before swapping sports and celebrating as Detroit Lions fans. Jack tried his hand at feeding a baby cow in another shot before finding a groove while welding. Pratt ended the shout-out with, "I love you! Jesus is King!" During a March appearance on "Fox & Friends," Pratt explained that his stance on faith changed when Jack was brought into this world. Back in 2012, Jack was born seven weeks early and only weighed 3 pounds, 10 ounces. Pratt recalled the life-altering moment in which he had to make "deals with God" to save his son. "The most impactful moment was when my son was born. He was born early and had some health scares, and in that moment, I really made some deals with God, as you do when you're praying, and I felt like if you save my son, I will give you everything." "I'll give you my life. I'll give you my platform. I won't be ashamed to talk to you or talk about you. And he did save my son, and I've been trying to make good on that promise ever since," Pratt said. Pratt and Faris were married for eight years before their divorce was finalized in 2018. The "Parks & Recreation" actor went on to marry Katherine Schwarzenegger in June 2019 after meeting at church. Schwarzenegger's mom, Maria Shriver, helped set up the pair, and they eventually wed during a ceremony held in Montecito, California. The couple welcomed their first daughter, Lyla, in August 2020. Their second daughter, Eloise, was born in May 2022, and the couple welcomed son Ford in November.
