You've probably seen these heartwarming pics as they have gone viral for some time now. They are from a collection of photographs by Miyoko Ihara chronicling the ordinary daily life of her elderly grandmother and her beloved odd-eyed cat Fukumaru.
An inseparable duo
Miyoko Ihara began snapping pictures of the extraordinary relationship between her now 89-year-old grandmother, Misa, and her feline companion fourteen years ago.
These charming pics have now been published in a book and the pair has struck a chord with people all over Japan.
Misa found the cat abandoned in a shed

ReplyDeleteWe used to have a kitty with two different colored eyes--I swear he was deaf. Seriously.
No, I haven't seen these images, and I'm delighted that you shared them with us. Wow, beautiful cat, and I'm sure the lady is a sweetheart. LOVE the photo of the kitty in the basket behind the bike seat.
ReplyDeleteI think I have seen one of these pictures somewhere on the web... not sure though and I didn't know the story behind them to Thank you for tell us.
ReplyDeleteI really love these!!!! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat is one cool looking cat. Thanks for sharing and linking up with me this week. I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool! I bet if something were to happen to the cat Misa wouldn't live as long. They have a special relationship.
ReplyDeleteThe only photo I was like, "Humm that doesn't look safe." is the one where Misa is cutting the fish. The cat is right there. What if she slipped?
What a sweet story! And such a stunning cat too.
ReplyDeleteHave a super weekend ;)
