Friends fur-ever

When I was pregnant, we figured that our big cat Wally and Little Elvis would be friends. My third trimester was in the winter, and most nights, Wally would crawl under the covers and curl up beside my bulging belly. He would snuggle up and purr while Little Elvis kicked and wiggled.

Once Little Elvis was born, Wally would try to share my lap with him. But as Little Elvis grew and his kicks got stronger, Wally sought other nap locations.

As soon as Little Elvis started scooting, Wally would sit a few inches in front of him and move as Little Elvis got closer. He was a great incentive for our little crawler. When Little Elvis was finally able to catch up with him, Wally would typically sit patiently and endure the "pats."

Recently, Wally has decided that Little Elvis' crib is the place to be. We have to keep the door to the nursery closed, and he still finds ways to sneak in. He is capable of pushing the door open with his paws if it's not completely latched, or he will just make a break for it when I'm heading in for a diaper change.

Most nights, I tiptoe into Little Elvis' room to make sure everything is fine. Last week, Wally snuck in while I was sneaking in. The next morning I went in to get Little Elvis, and saw Wally sitting beside him! Crazy cat. Now, I look for Wally before checking on the baby. (We aren't encouraging this. I think they will end up sleeping together, but not until Little Elvis is much older.)

In honor of this sweet, blooming friendship, we made... a music video! I tried editing it a little differently, and like how it turned out. I hope you enjoy!
