Nala has been with her family since she was a kitten, and she has always prided herself on being the family’s favorite child. She enjoys spending time with her parents and receiving plenty of attention, with one of her favorite forms of attention being carried like a baby.
Nala is used to being held and being near to her family because she grew up with them, and she appears to enjoy being cradled in her parents’ arms. While some cats despise being held, Nala isn’t one of them…
… and often even seeks it out all on her own.
Nala’s favorite thing to do while her father is playing video games is crawled up on top of him and interrupt the game and then sink into the crook of his arm, cradled in his arms.
“She usually comes to me at night and puts her faith in my arms,” Nala’s father, Alexander Fredriksen, told The Dodo. “Despite the fact that she usually wakes me up, it’s a ritual I enjoy.”
Nala has always been a weird cat, and her parents like her for it — but they were anxious about how queen Nala would respond when they just adopted a kid.
“We were concerned she’d feel intimidated or envious, and we anticipated worst-case situations like our kid becoming allergic as well,” Fredriksen said. “However, we were pleasantly delighted.”
While she was initially wary of her new baby sister and maintained her distance for a while, Nala ultimately warmed up to her and now adores her…
… and swiftly began educating her about the joys of being cradled in her parents’ arms.
Even though Nala has accepted her baby sister into the family, she still makes sure that she’s ALWAYS involved in every family activity that her sister is involved in. From mealtime …
…and everything in between, Nala is certain that her new baby sister is aware of who the true queen of the house is.
