00:02 This black and white stuffed cat became his little baby.
00:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:09 Theo was a quarantine baby, and we were both very codependent.
00:16 The stuffed animals was actually my mom's idea.
00:21 My mom gave me a little bag of three stuffed cats
00:24 and was like, it'll be like he's in a litter.
00:26 And I was like, that's ridiculous.
00:29 My mom was right.
00:30 He's your buddy.
00:31 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:35 It was like his exact size, so he mostly wrestled with it.
00:38 But you could tell he would try to pick it up and carry it
00:42 with him.
00:44 Then as he got bigger, he would cuddle with it more.
00:48 He still loves the baby.
00:51 I always felt horrible seeing how happy he
00:53 got with his stuffed animal and that he
00:54 didn't have another cat.
00:57 He is so upset.
00:59 I went to the Austin Animal Center.
01:02 God.
01:06 He was so fascinated by her.
01:07 He was so interested in how fast she was jumping off the walls.
01:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:27 And then very quickly, they were already fine with each other.
01:31 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:34 And then one morning, they were in the same bed.
01:43 And he was like already cuddled up with her.
01:46 He was like treating her in place of said stuffed cat.
01:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:54 So he was already licking her head
01:57 and had her in his cat bed, in his cat tree.
01:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:02 Hello, babies.
02:05 And even when I got a new cat tree,
02:08 they were sharing the old one before I showed them
02:11 that they had separate ones that they could go into now.
02:15 What are you guys doing?
02:16 So I think Zelda made him feel like he had a little family.
02:20 One doesn't go without the other.
02:22 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:25 And it's funny, because that stuffed cat,
02:30 he'll still play with.
02:32 And she'll play with it too.
02:33 So it's still a family member.
02:36 Theo and Zelda, I truly think of as my children.
02:41 The sun rises and sets with my two cats, truly.
02:45 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:49 Just a little thing.
