Cat stroking crying baby and sending him to sleep!
How very cute... Baby Connar begins video wailing and writhing around
But cat Stewie quickly calms him and send him to sleep
Cat looks at camera proud of what he has achieved!
At first it appears the last thing baby Connar wants while he cries and writhes around is for a cat to come along and start playing with him.
But this hilarious video shows how Stewie manages to send his new friend off to sleep and stop the tears after some careful and patient stroking.
The clip, uploaded by the baby’s father Aaron Grant, 35, of Canada, ends with Stewie staring at the camera with great pride at what he has done.

18 Years Old but ONLY 2ft Tall!
Jyoti Amge crowned world shortest woman at just 62cm tall
She weighs only 12lbs - just 9lbs more than she did at birth
Celebrating your 18th birthday is a momentous occasion for anyone, but for tiny Jyoti Amge the milestone is even bigger news.
The 2ft teenager is already a mini celebrity in her hometown of Nagpur, India, but is now set for a huge record when she is officially declared the world's smallest woman.
And despite her miniature stature, 61.95cm-tall Jyoti hopes to celebrate being crowned the world's shortest woman by launching a Bollywood movie career.
She took the Guinness World Record from 2ft 3in American Bridgette Jordan, and celebrated her birthday with a teddy bear which loomed over her tiny 24.4in frame.
She measured 7 centimeters (2.76 inches) shorter than the 22-year-old American Bridgette Jordan, who had held the title since September.
A teary-eyed Jyoti, dressed in one of her finest saris, called the honor an 'extra birthday present' and said she felt grateful for being small, as it had brought her recognition.
She also blew out candles on a birthday cake which was comfortably bigger than her.
Even the Guinness World Records book at the ceremony came up to Jyoti's waist.
Jyoti weighs just 12lbs (5.5kg) - only 9lbs more than she did at birth - and has a form of dwarfism call achondroplasia, which stopped her growing after her first birthday.
She has brittle bones and is likely to need care for the rest of her life, but that has not stopped her tall ambitions of cracking the movie industry.
Budding actress Jyoti, who is set to appear in two Bollywood films next year, told The Sun: 'I want to make people happy.'
As a teenager at school in Nagpur, Jyoti had her own small desk and chair, but said the other students didn't treat her any differently.
She also has to sleep in a specially-made bed and uses utensils that are smaller than average.
This was not Amge's first Guinness record. Until Friday she was considered the world's shortest teenager, but in turning 18 qualified for the new title.
She has grown less than 1cm (0.4in) in the last two years, Guinness said in a statement, and will grow no more due to a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia.
Her teenage title brought the chance for multiple Guinness-sponsored trips to Japan and Italy for tours and meetings with other record holders, she said.
The title of shortest woman in history continues to be held by Pauline Musters, who lived in the Netherlands from 1876 to 1895 and stood 61 centimeters (24 inches) tall.

The 'blingmobile' Mercedes on offer for £7 million
A flamboyant entrepreneur with apparently more money than taste has turned a classy Mercedes into a 'blingmobile' - and wants £7 MILLION for it.
Swiss businessman Ueli Anliker is selling the one-off supercar after transforming it using a team of 35 workers who spent a total of 30,000 man hours and more than £3.5 million.
He has renamed the 200mph plus Merc the 'Anliker McLaren SLR 999 Red Gold Dream'.
But his design changes have fallen flat, with Top Gear saying the paintwork could 'burn a hole through your eyes and into your nightmares'.

The garish body has 25 layers of red paint with 5kg of gold dust worked into it. Each of the car's wheels are covered in 24 carat gold as are the headlights and door sills
And the car's supercharged 5.4-litre engine has had power boosted from 640bhp to 999bhp - giving it a top speed of more than 210mph.
Inside, there are jewelled indicators, a gold-trimmed interior and steering wheel and ruby-covered switchgear.
In total there are more than 600 rubies within the car's interior, which would have cost around £300,000 before the staggering overhaul.
Mr Anliker is now selling the Mercedes with a 'minimum' price-tag of £7 million - making it the world's most expensive vehicle for sale on the open market.
A spokesperson for Mr Anliker said: 'Selling the vehicle has never been part of Mr Anliker's motivation but he will consider a suitable offer.
'Having invested about 5 million Swiss francs and more than 30,000 man hours, the car is worth more than 10 million Swiss francs, which is his minimum selling price.'
The SLR was jointly developed by Mercedes in Germany and McLaren in the UK.
It went on sale in 2003 with production running until last year.

The £85m superyacht...
This huge superyacht is so sleek you'd almost be forgiven for mistaking it for a floating limousine.
Click The Images to Enlarge!
Luxury: This 100-metre superyacht, which comes with an onboard garage, is yours for a mere £85million
This is no coincidence - the 'Sovereign' yacht is based on the design of a limo, and even comes with its own matching car.
And the vessel fit for a king could be yours, if you're willing to shell out a mere $132million - that's £85million.
There is a glass helicopter pad, encircled by an infinity pool; 10 guests suites as well as the extensive main quarters; a private cinema; and a nightclub area which epitomises 'elegance and class' - according to Gray Design, at least.
The architects are also installing a golfing green, which can be converted into a god play area for an owner who preferred playing with pets to playing sport.
And of course there's an onboard garage, to store the matching limousine which is an optional extra, or whatever other car the owner feels is necessary to zip around the decks.
Every tiniest detail seems to have been taken care of - part of the bow can rise up to provide shade for the jacuzzi.
And the boat is eco-friendly too, sporting a huge wind turbine which powers the yacht's electricity systems.
Mr Gray insists that the boat is 'in the engineering stage', and is about to enter production.
The one attribute which Sovereign does not share with the supercars on which it is based - and which can be stored in its garage - is speed.
The yacht goes up to a maximum of 30 knots - fairly nippy for a vessel of this size, but perhaps a little disappointing for real petrolheads hoping to transfer to seafaring.
