Her keeper 🐱🐾

Mittens is old now, and her joints are so stiff she can't twist round to groom herself anymore. She'd try… and just give up. It was heartbreaking — cats like to be clean. 🐱

But Bear noticed.

He started grooming her himself — so gently, just soft little licks, cleaning all the bits she can't reach. And now it's just what they do. Every single day, he keeps her tidy. She looks like herself again. Cared for. 🥹

Growing old takes the little dignities first, and for a cat, not being able to keep yourself clean is a hard one. But Mittens never has to feel that — because the dog became her grooming.

Nobody taught him. He just saw she couldn't do it anymore… and decided he would. 💛
