My wife and I have a 2 month old human baby girl and a pair of 2-year old cat sisters. When the baby has one of her fussy episodes, which amounts to about 10 minutes of crying and screaming, our cat Ursa will invariably enter the room with a look of urgency and concern on her face. She goes up to my wife, the primary caregiver for the baby, and will start giving her light bites on the leg. She will also stretch tall and paw at her upper legs and meow to get her attention. It really feels like Ursa is trying to tell my wife "There's something wrong with the baby! Take care of her! What's wrong with you?" Whenever she comes in the room during a fussy episode, we say that DCFS got called in to take our baby away - Dept of Children and Family Services. What's interesting is that when I'm the one consoling the fussy baby, Ursa still alerts my wife to the problem, tellng her "your dumb husband isn't helping!"
Anybody else ever see or hear of a cat acting like the nanny like this?
