Larry the ginger cat was given up by his previous owner for breaking into the food cabinet one too many times. Having always wanted an orange cat, a woman named Michelle decided to take Larry into her home.

When she got pregnant with her son Abel a few months later, Larry would always lay on her belly. And when Abel was finally born, it was love at first sight.

Now Larry is his guardian, and they’re inseparable.

“When Abel cries Larry runs over to comfort him. Abel makes sure Larry is with him when he moves from one room to another,” Michelle says of the heartwarming duo.

Even Abel’s very first word was “Yarry!”

Larry is always there to make Abel laugh, and we hope they’ll continue to always be together for many more adventures to come.
