  • We all know that when you have more than one pet, they automatically become siblings. Just like our furbabies are akin to their hooman's biological children, pets like cats, dogs, birds, fish, and rodents all melt together to form one purrfectly impurrfect family of critters in the home. Bickering like real sisters n' brothers, at the end of the day, all the animals in this house love each other and live in harmony. 

  • None loved their pet sibling quite as much as Cashie, this adorable fish-watching tabby cat. Enchanted by the Betta fish's colors and movement, the two became inseparable. Funnily enough, Cashie never endangered his scaly, aquatic homie, but instead, they seemed to enjoy each other's company… Until the fateful day that this Betta bestie crossed the rainbow bridge. 

  • Cashie was noticibly inconsolable. Trapped in a big sad mood for weeks, his hooman decided that it was high time they found this kitty a new best friend, which is where our wholesome story begins. Keep scrolling to enjoy this tale of friendship, love, and new beginnings for this household of mismatched animal babies.
