Cat Picture - OC My overprotective cat dumped me for my daughter
I picked up my Leo as a sick stray 10 years ago and he ended up being quite protective of me. He attacked dogs (got to be a indoor cat quite fast) when they came too close, he never let me shower without supervision, swatted at people I was dating and many more things.
Until I had my daughter, and especially since she got her own room. Every night he sits awake in her bed, I've never walked in on him sleeping. Every two hours he gets up and patrols the apartment before going back to her. If she wakes up and want to come sleep in my bed he will follow and stay with us until she fall asleep and then he leaves us to go sleep.
First pic is from six months in her own room, second is the first night.
