Watch: Four-year-old little girl soothes her cat to sleep by reading to him

Bailey the cat is truly remarkable.

The furry feline is a family pet to three little girls, with the newest addition only arriving a week ago.

It seems that he shares a unique bond with his sisters, Abby, Hannah and Claire.

In the video, the 13-year-old tabby cat sits peacefully in four-year-old, Abby's arms as she reads him a book.

Completely relaxed and unphased by the animated animal sounds, the male cat even begins to fall asleep.

Bailey's patience is incredible and he is excellent with newborn Claire.

The gentle animal is no stranger to Internet fame and has 61K followers on Instagram.

The account shows that Bailey gets involved in all of the girls' activities, from tea parties to playing dress up.

The girls' mum, Erin Merryn found Bailey when he was just six weeks old.

At the time, Erin was in college and wasn't allowed to keep him on campus.

However, the student had planned for her family to look after him while she 'searched' for a new home.

Erin had no intention of giving him away, and it wasn't long before her family fell in love with Bailey.

Little did she know how much Bailey would play in a role in her daughters' lives.
