Baby videos are cute. Animal videos are cute, too. But what’s even cuter? Videos of babies and animals! And that’s exactly what the video down below includes. In this clip, baby Chell pets her family’s cats, Sparta and Loki, for the first time, and it’s an adorable thing to be able to witness.
The video begins with Chell on her Mom’s lap staring at a cat walking beside her, Loki. Meanwhile, Sparta stares at the child. When Chell turns around, her eyes widen as she realizes that the cat is right in front of her face. For a split second, it looks like she may cry, but she doesn’t. (What a champ, right?)
Looking frightened, she reaches over to touch the cat, but she seems to second guess her actions because she pushes her tiny hand out but then pulls it back in. Finally, the brave baby girl convinces herself to touch the kitty, and she rubs Sparta’s belly.
She tentatively touches his whiskers, and as she’s doing that, the black and white cat, Loki, walks up to her. Loki bends his head into her hand, and Chell gently rubs his head. Meanwhile, her mom is smiling and laughing at the heartwarming interaction.
Further into the video, feeling braver and realizing that those weird-looking things aren’t going to hurt her, she touches the black-and-white cat with both of her hands.
Chell grasps the bottom of Loki’s chin lovingly (although Mom makes sure that she’s not hurting him) as he crawls onto the mom’s lap. The toddler doesn’t let go until Loki makes his way out.
She continues to touch the other cat who remained with excitement and even a small smile. At the very end, they show mom washing the “kitty off” of Chell’s little hand.
