Baby’s First 100 Days with Cat

Before the baby, the cat had the house to itself. 🤍

This isn’t a newborn session in the traditional sense. It’s what happens when a new life arrives and the resident cat decides to investigate.

The watching from a distance. The careful approach. The sniffing of tiny, wiggling feet. A baby foot landing on a fluffy tail — no flinch. A cat accepting a treat from the same arms that hold the baby.

No posing. Just a family becoming a family.
