this amazes me, but having seen bella with dd i would never underestimate a child cat bond, we've had lots of upset recently as dd has realised that everyone including me (her mummy) and herself will die at some point (a horrible concept when your 5). Whenever pippa is upset bella will just come and sit with her until shes calmed down, she just knows when pippa needs her and just appears, doesnt matter if i saw her minutes ago asleep on the bed. Shes also been know to run over to pips if shes fallen over and hurt herself to check if shes ok.
