Ragdoll Cat Makes Sweetest Attempt to 'Bathe' Human Baby

Ragdoll Cat Makes Sweetest Attempt to 'Bathe' Human Baby originally appeared on Parade Pets. 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! 🐶🐾🐾 Ragdoll Cat Makes Sweetest Attempt to 'Bathe' Human Baby first appeared on Parade Pets on Jul 14, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jul 14, 2025, where it first appeared.
