She took only-child syndrome way too seriously! Our producer Tarang caught up with Michaela about Pearl, the former stray who chose her family one day, and how she slowly learned there was enough love to share with an annoying little kitten brother.

00:02He's not even doing anything, Pearl. He's just sleeping.
00:08Hey, Pearl.
00:09With every side of her being, she hated her new little brother.
00:15Pearl did not sign up to be another sister. And, I mean, I definitely get it. Who wants constant meowing?
00:20What?
00:21Meow!
00:23What?
00:23Meow!
00:26Hey, nice!
00:27Obviously, there was a lot that Pearl was having to get used to. And I know what you're already thinking.
00:32They should have separated them. They should have did all the introduction steps. Rest assured, they already were doing those
00:37things off camera.
00:38We supervised them 100% of that time. She had only child syndrome. She said, this is my mom, this
00:47is my dad, this is my house. Get out. Pearl was quite the little Sour Patch Kid.
00:53What's crazy about this is that a couple years ago, Pearl was actually a stray cat who literally walked right
01:00into their home and never left.
01:01We assumed that she had to take a fight or flight stance on things. As time went on, she started
01:09to open up and show us that really sweet side of her.
01:13At this point, Pearl was safe. She had a home, two human servants, and was even starting to show her
01:18sweet side. Everything should be good, right?
01:20She has plenty of toys, but I was noticing she was very bored.
01:25When we play kitten noises on our phones, she's very, like, intrigued. So, when we brought Hank home, we thought
01:33she would be a little more open-minded.
01:36About a month and a half in, Hank ran under the couch, and she actually laid on her back for
01:42the first time showing her belly.
01:44That was her first step into getting used to having Hank as a little brother. It was such a relieving
01:52experience.
01:54These days, Pearl finally has what her parents hoped she'd find, a little brother who she can play and grow
01:59up with.
02:00She is not bored at all. Their dynamic completely encapsulates big sister energy and annoying little brother energy.
