This is the happiest family of cats!
Big sister Nelly,
brother Gilbert
and Nala the little kitten.
They really, really like each other!
But it wasn’t always that way.
Nelly used to hate Nala.
But now, everybody squeezes into the same sink together.
Just like you’d expect from
Best. Animal. Friends.
It all started one day when Gilbert was out taking a walk.
Most of the time, Gilbert tra-la-las happily next to his dad.
But on this particular day,
Gilbert saw a little lost kitten in the bushes.
Gilbert wouldn’t move.
He had to be sure the little kitten was all right.
They waited. And waited.
But the kitten’s mom never showed up.
So Gilbert had to put his paw down.
There was no way he was leaving this little kitten behind.
They had to take her home.
So that’s what they did.
Gilbert and his dad decided to call the sweet little kitten Nala.
And soon, they found out Nala loved getting her chin rubbed.
Gilbert was the best big brother.
He made Nala feel right at home.
It was almost perfect!
EXCEPT,
Nelly.
Big sister Nelly wasn’t AT ALL sure about the new kitten.
Poor Nala. She just wanted to be part of the family!
But Nelly was a tough cat.
And not the kind to make new friends fast.
Maybe she wasn’t the kind to make new friends at all!
Nelly was like, “Why is this strange kitten in my house?!”
She just stared and stared at little Nala.
"What are you looking at? Can’t you just like me?!"
Luckily, Gilbert was there to show his new sister how much their family loved her.
Nala started to follow Gilbert everywhere.
At dinnertime, it was Nala and Gilbert
and … someone always watching.
And WATCHING.
But what Nelly didn’t know about Nala
was that she loves to play
and never gives up.
Nala was going to be friends with Nelly somehow!
She just knew it.
And then one day, it finally happened.
Nala was batting around her favorite toy
and Nelly looked like she actually wanted to play!
Nala couldn’t believe it!
And after a few sniffs
Nelly was like, "Yeah, OK. I like you."
Now, they totally love each other.
And Gilbert’s like, "I knew this would work!"
"We cats are made for each other."
These days, Nelly, Gilbert and little Nala do everything together.
They are three peas in a—
Hm. That's not a pod.
Still a sink.
They’re so grateful to have found each other,
so happy to be a family
and
BEST. ANIMAL. FRIENDS.
