A black cat that manages to act as a nanny for a baby has become famous around the world, being catapulted to stardom in the virtual world after a video was uploaded by its owners in Canada. The video was uploaded by thirty five year old Aaron Grant.

The video shows a little baby crying and restless while the Canadian ‘nanny cat’ sits by the baby’s side with one paw on his forehead in what looks like an effort to get him to sleep. As The cat, Stewie, gently places its paw on the baby’s head the baby appears to be soothed and quickly stops crying and starts to go to sleep.

As the baby falls asleep the cat keeps its paw gently on the forehead before finally leaning in and appearing to give the baby a gentle kiss on the forehead. The video has now been viewed over two millions times in countries around the world.

This is one of many pet videos that has become famous on the web over the past twelve months, with many pets having built up their own fan clubs after videos of them were shown online.
