A woman well into her pregnancy was enjoying a relaxing evening on her couch, propping her feet up and doing a bit of karaoke. Then, her cat appeared at her side. But the cat was acting a bit strangely.
She approached her mom cautiously, looking at her belly.
This adorable cat sniffs his mom’s tummy before laying a gentle paw on where the baby is. He then looks up at her with the softest expression as if to say, “Yes! There’s a tiny hooman!”
He sits back and realizes he’s got a human kitty on the way.
The big question is, can cats tell if you’re pregnant?
Experts say yes. Cats have really sharp noses and ears which means they can pick up on that tiny heartbeat.
And of course, hormones change and the body begins producing more progesterone, estrogen, and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormones.
A woman’s metabolism increases, so the body becomes warmer.
Cats love warmth so don’t be surprised when they insist on rubbing and cuddling with you.
Don’t underestimate a cat’s intelligence. They will notice differences in your behavior, seeing as these animals are routine oriented. They will begin to pick up on the changes around them.
Here’s a short story from a viewer. She says,
“My sister has a cat that is the cantankerous sort of bitey type with everyone. Doesn’t really like to be touched. When she got pregnant he was super lovey dovey with her and never bit her the entire pregnancy. Then literally the day she gave birth was back to acting like a little butt hole to her. And now he’s always lovey and patient with my niece ever since she was a baby.”
Isn’t that incredible?
That cranky cat could very well be the next best babysitter. As pet owners, don’t forget to give the cat attention. Treat them the same way you’ve been treating them, only adjusting to your pregnancy.
Your cat will appreciate it and will reward you with snuggles and even security.
Hey, even the ancient Egyptians held cats in high esteem.
Of course, not all cats are the same. Some of them could care less if their owner was pregnant. Consider yourself lucky if yours behaved like this cat in the video. He’s so gentle. And those eyes are full of love!
A viewer named Edwin said: “The cat can probably hear a second heartbeat, they have incredible ears, example they can hear a tiny fly, while tv sets makes plenty noise, to mask it to human ears, and human would only detect it from half a meter or so.”
While there’s no scientific proof of cats sensing pregnancy, all signs point towards them knowing that there’s a baby inside.
This curious cat is so adorable to watch, and it’s sweet to see how gently he touches his mom’s belly. He’s going to be a wonderful furry sibling.
