A Japanese Grandmother and Her Beloved Cat

Grandma and her cat

Have you seen this? If not, get ready to say, “awww” over and over again! When I came across these pictures the other night, I squealed with laughter and then immediately got teary-eyed. 88-year-old Misao and her best furry friend, Fukumaru are just the cutest.

Their heartwarming friendship is documented in Misao the Big Mama and Fukumaru the Cat, a photo book that was shot by Misao’s granddaughter, Miyoko Ihara.

This excerpt is absolutely fantastic:

“Partly because they are both hard of hearing, my grandmother and Fukumaru are always looking into each other’s eyes. They’re really close”

I need this book! Admit it, you too have now become teary-eyed – Ha Ha. Check out more pictures from the book here.
