Panda the cat has protected her little brother since before he was born

Cats can be caring, too. Cats can love just as hard. And in the case of Panda, cats can be just as protective as any guard dog.

Panda is a two and a half year old cat who’s loved her little brother since before he was even born.

When Panda’s owner, Liel Ainmar Assayag, became pregnant, Panda became super protective of her human.

And now that the baby’s been born, Panda loves him, too.

The part I can see looks like it matches the wiki entry for oxytocin:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxytocin



Oxytocin (Oxt) is a medication and hormone.[3] As a medication, it is used to cause contraction of the uterus, which is used to start labor, increase the speed of labor, and to stop bleeding following delivery. It is used either by injection into a muscle or into a vein.[3]


Maybe it was meant as instruction to the delivering doctor ?
