Older Cat Welcomes New Kitten Into His Home And Teaches Him Everything He Needs To Know, Especially How To Cuddle
Opie arrived at his new home needing care, and he got something even better, an instant welcome from the resident cat. The tiny kitten had just been rescued after a scary medical emergency, and once he was safe enough to leave the vet, he was brought home to recover.
That is where Andy, another rescue cat, stepped in and made the adjustment look easy. The moment he heard Opie’s squeaks, he rushed over, wrapped him up, and started grooming him like they had known each other forever.
It did not take long for the pair to become inseparable, and Andy had plenty to teach the new arrival.
This is Opie when he arrived at his new home.
Andy came running when he heard meowing and started hugging and kissing him.
More kissing.
Andy and Opie instantly bonded.
"Opie seems to trust me and keeps falling asleep on me. The little guy fits in my hand. And Andy absolutely loves him."
This adorable “big brother” moment is similar to the Goldendoodle’s first encounter with his baby brother.
They are inseparable, even when sleeping.
Their owner believes that there is something deeper in this story.
"I was adopted… there's always been something missing, even after I met my birth family, but Andy saved my life," Moonglade said.
"And now Opie seems to be doing the same for Andy. What goes around comes around."
"Andy gives his brother lots of love and has been teaching him about the litter box, how to land on his feet, how to hunt and play, but mostly how to cuddle."
The most important lessons are cuddling.
Their connection is amazing.
Thanks to the love he's receiving from Andy and Rose, Opie will grow up to be a self-confident cat.
