Buddy the kitty started snuggling with his human sister Bella before she was born. They have been growing up together for 3 and a half years. Buddy is very protective of his little human sister. He doesn't let her out of his sight.

"Buddy loved to lay on my belly. He would start purring and she would rub up against where he would be laying. She loved the purr! She still loves to lay her head on him when he's purring," said Buddy's mom.

Bella and Buddy were snuggling before she was even born:
