Um, is that cat giving a pig a massage?
Sassy’s like, “This feels so good..."
Uh oh! Pig down!
(Pig snoring)
I guess you could say somebody has a way with these pigs.
And you know what? They love him right back!
This cat and these pigs are best animal friends.
Ernest lives on a farm.
And there’s nothing this farm cat likes more than pigs.
If Ernest had his way, he’d be a pig!
(Pig snort)
But it’s hard to be a pig when you can only meow, not oink.
(Cat Meow)
So Ernest does the next best thing.
He hangs out with them.
Well, it’s more like he hangs out ON them!
Who needs a chair when you have a pig like Sassy to ride?
Or a pig like Mona.
And since he loves his pigs so much, he spends a lot of time taking care of them.
It’s a very big job taking care of so many pigs.
It starts with breakfast every morning.
Ernest makes sure they all have the energy they need for the day’s adventures!
And what do they need after all that running around?
Naps.
Boy, do these pigs love to snooze.
And they sleep best when they know Ernest is right there taking care of them.
“Am I dreaming, or is Ernest giving me a hug?”
(Pig snore)
“Is that Ernest licking my ear?”
(Pig snore)
Tulip needs some ear licks, too.
Because that’s how Ernest shows his love.
And it turns out, pigs like to be licked. Awake or asleep!
And it just so happens that Ernest is the best massager on the farm.
He gives neck rubs.
And shoulder rubs.
And back rubs.
No wonder these pigs nap so much. They’re so relaxed.
All because of Ernest.
Ernest is so good at taking care of the pigs that sometimes the other animals are like...
“What’s a sheep gotta do to get a neck rub around here?”
But Ernest is always willing to take care of the other animals, too.
Because that’s just the kind of cat he is.
Whether it’s a fuzzy alpaca...
(Cat meow)
...or a friendly cow...
(Cow moo)
...or even a donkey who needs a kiss.
Ernest is always there for all his friends.
And he wouldn’t have it any other way.
But when he’s finished hanging with the donkeys...
...and cows...
...and alpacas...
...and sheep...
...you know right where Ernest goes...
...back to the pigs!
For Ernest, there’s no better place in the world than on the backs of his favorite pigs.
That’s where he feels most at home.
They're best animal friends.
And they always will be.
