Kumachan and Kara share a special friendship together. Kara the older cat takes her buddy under her arms and showers him with nurture and love.

I am always here to clean your face when you need some comfort...

I am always here to be your pillow when you nap...

I am always here to give you cuddles and kisses and tell you everything will be all right.

I am always here to hold you tight when you fall asleep...

All grown up now.
