For the past seven years, a cat named Morris has greeted each new day the same way.
Much to his human’s annoyance, he insists on heading out of their nice, warm house at the crack of dawn so he can join his best friend in the paddock for a morning ride. Oh, did we mention that his BFF just so happens to be a horse?
Jennifer Boyle is the proud pet parent of Morris the cat and Champy the horse. She has worked in equine rescue in Australia for years, yet in all that time, she has never seen a relationship like the one that developed effortlessly between these very different animals.
“I found Morris at a rescue shelter, and when I brought him home, Champy insisted on becoming his best buddy,” Jennifer explained. “Morris jumped up on his back and he happily took him for rides around the paddock. Now it’s become their morning ritual.”
