But after the man's sister told her the origin of the name, she changed her mind, as the idea felt really off to her.

She wrote:

"My partner and I are expecting our first baby together. We recently found out it's a boy and we're trying to decide on a nice boy's name. My partner suggested Max as he really loves the name. I don't like the name but agreed to consider it as I couldn't really think of another name.

"We were talking to his sister about baby names and I mentioned that he suggested Max. She brought up that it was the name of a cat he shared with his ex-fiancée. When they broke up, she took the cat and he never saw it again.

"When we got home I told my partner I'm not comfortable naming our first baby after the cat he had with his ex. It felt kind of gross to me. He told me I'm overreacting. It's just a name and it's not like the cat and the baby will ever meet."

The woman admitted that because he shared the cat with his ex, it feels as though the pet was "their baby".

Son and cat sleep together

In a separate article published on renowned Kenyan website, TUKO.co.ke, a video showed the moment a mother asked a lovely cat to leave the bed and not wake up her baby.

In the clip, the concerned mother opened the room and saw the cat nestled beside her sleeping kid. When she called the pet, it never answered.

As she gently tugged at it, telling the animal to stand up, it meowed, showing its displeasure. The cat just wanted to keep comforting the child.
