A Kangaroo grooms a cat


Kangaroo grooms a cat – Arthur a rescued kangaroo helped groom a cat.

“Arthur was a rescued kangaroo Joey and Blue was a kitten rescued from a shearing shed, both raised by our daughters. He slept with the dogs and Blue was his favourite family member. I often found them curled up in the bean bag together having a cuddle and a groom. Arthur loved to be wrapped in a blanket in front of the fire on a winters day.”
