This heartwarming collection of photos reveals the beautiful bonds created between children and pets.
Cats and children are a purr-fect combination, especially when they’re bundled together in a house, living side by side and discovering life with each other while enjoying leisurely days filled with nap times and play. For one family, the special moments have been captured in a series of photos so enchanting they’ve recently been published as a charming photo book. Let’s take a look at some of their adorable antics below.
When you think about it, there’s every reason for cats and kids to get along. They have a mutual love of cardboard boxes…
…toys…
…windows…
…and when there’s a ladder out, everyone wants to climb!
The look of pure joy on the faces of these children sums up the close relationship they have with their pets.
While the daytime is filled with laughter and adventure, when it’s time for bed, the playmates still stay by each other’s side.
While the younger ones sleep, the eldest child is kept company too.
During afternoon nap times though, the kittens forgo their own love of sleep to watch over their family protectively.
The strong bond they share promises to only grow deeper in the future and hopefully well into early adulthood too. To see more of the cute photos in their adorable family album, be sure to check out their Instagram page or you can pick up a copy of their book on Amazon.
