100-Year-Old Granddad And A Tiny Kitten Become Best Friends
You are never too old to make new friends. The best proof is Manuel, who just celebrated his 100th birthday. He was given a kitten named Bloom as a surprise gift from his loving family, and now they are inseparable.
Manuel lives with his granddaughter, Maria Suarez, and her family, who planned a surprise for their beloved granddad. Of course, he had absolutely no idea. Maria took in a kitten who needed a home and gave it to her granddad to keep him company.
"My grandfather did not know anything about this," Maria says. "When he saw her enter my house for the first time, his eyes lit up with emotion. He has always been a great lover of animals."
They've bonded since the moment they met and have been inseparable ever since. "My grandfather is 100 years old, and the kitten has given him another 100 years of life," Maria says. "He is always attentive to Bloom. They spend all day playing and even take naps together."
Maria was so delighted to see her granddad so happy that she started documenting Manuel and Bloom's time together:
People online are loving this relationship, and the video quickly went viral.
"It has been incredible, all the love and affection that the video has received," Maria said. "I did not expect it to go so far."
Maria tried telling her granddad that he and his furry friend have become famous, but he didn't seem to care much about it. After all, he and Bloom have better things to do.
