The cattle dog and his disabled kitten By: Valerie Coahuilas


A video published on April 29 that shows the unlikely friends hanging out has almost a million views. Of course the Internet loves getting its fix of cute dogs and cats, but this bond is a little different. According to the video's description, Ralphee suffers from a neurological disorder called feline cerebellar hypoplasia, or CH, which affects the part of her brain that controls motor skills and coordination. Because of CH, Ralphee is a bit wobbly and loopy as she bounces around on her paws, but her life expectancy is the same as any other feline. The video's description explains that as soon as Ralphee came home, Max was never far behind. The older cattle dog looks after the feline, occasionally exchanging a kiss and always watching over her.

  1. so sweet that animals can show human compassion; good to know not every news story is about tragedy.
