A protective mother
Upon making the discovery of the baby, Lucy stopped and turned around towards the three women, but this time not in her usual friendly way. She would begin to hiss and act aggressively towards them, her intention was to protect the infant that was lying in a box inside the trash can. They eventually were able to calm Lucy down and prove to her that they meant no harm. After some time was spent convincing the cat that they had honest intentions, Lucy backed down and allowed the three women to take the baby out of the box and into their arms.
