They’d read stories about some cats not adjusting well to the arrival of new babies, and this worried them. To them, Whiskers wasn’t just a cat. He was like their first baby. He’d been part of their family for so long that the thought of losing him felt really scary. The idea of having to choose between Whiskers and their unborn child was incredibly difficult to bear. They hoped from the bottom of their hearts that Whiskers would accept the new baby. If not, they might face the tough decision of giving Whiskers to a shelter…

Then, one day, the day they had been dreading finally arrived. Even before Jennifer’s belly had started to show, they suddenly noticed a change in Whiskers’ behavior. Somehow, he seemed to sense that Jennifer was pregnant. They couldn’t explain it, but it was as if the cat knew something was different.
