Raising a baby can be downright stressful and all-consuming at times, but it can also be incredibly joyful and rewarding. Of course, the trenches of parenthood can feel more like a float in a lazy river when you have the right support system, and no one ever said that support could only come from humans.
Just ask the mama behind @pearlsragdolls! This pro kitten raiser has two babies and 19 fur babies of her own, but her newborn son, Maverick, has already been adopted by one of her ragdoll kittens. They cuddle together, play together, and share their parents’ affection, but soon enough, they’ll be growing up together, too!
@pearlsragdolls An update on our first month with Maverick
Pass the tissues, please! This relationship between the Opal, the ragdoll kitten, and her baby is ‘paw-sitively’ priceless. Whether they’re cuddled up in the crib or testing out each other’s favorite napping spots, they learn more and more about each other every day.
Some people who are unfamiliar with cats think of them as aloof and independent, but Opal proves that cats can be just as loving and affectionate as any other pet.

“Maverick is already doing a great job as an emotional support baby for the kittens,” one commenter joked. He was born for this life! It’s easy to see why the baby has been the most popular person at home ever since he arrived from the hospital, but no one understands why Opal may still be up for adoption.
Best Friends Forever?
Opal is just one of many rambunctious kittens living in this home, but soon enough, they’ll be old enough to find families of their very own. As many viewers don’t hesitate to point out, it looks like this affectionate feline has already found hers!
“If you don’t keep Opal,” another commenter began, “I’m suing.”
Clearly, Maverick and Opal’s fans have strong feelings about keeping these besties together, but only time will tell what their parents decide to do.
In the meantime, let’s enjoy every adorable interaction between the confident kitty and blissful baby. These friends are a match made in heaven!
