Affectionate Orange Cat Begs to Be Part of Baby's Morning Routine Each Day — Watch!

Crush the cat has a favorite way to start the day, and his human sister Cora is a big part of the ritual.

Heather Mees, mom to Cora and pet parent to Crush, shared the baby and feline's morning routine in an Instagram video.

The Feb 16 post opens with footage of Crush, an orange tabby sitting outside a closed door. He paws and meows at the obstacle as Mees films. Text on the video says, "He waits all night so he can do this," before the cat's sweet ritual is revealed.

In the clip, Mees opens the door for the yowling Crush, who quickly paws inside and jumps up on a side table next to Cora's crib.

In the video, Cora appears standing in her crib near the side table where Crush is sitting. Soon, the cat is grooming his little sister, licking her unruly hair. Cora appears to enjoy the routine and happily lets the cat lick at the tufts of blonde hair on her head.

The tongue bath continues as Mees greets her daughter and tells her, "Good morning!"

"Every morning, our cat, Crush, waits eagerly for Cora, his dear sissy, to wake up," Mees told Storyful about how Cora and Crush spend their mornings. "At the slightest sound or movement behind her door, he begins to meow, pacing the hallway with anticipation, until someone opens the door, allowing him to burst in and greet her with loving head licks."

Mees is confident that Crush's obsession with grooming Cora's hair in the morning shows that the pet adores his little family member.

"He loves his sissy so much," Mees captioned her Instagram video of the pair.

Crush is far from the only orange cat who left an impression on their family. Sunny-Loo, an orange kitty from Washington, went missing during her family's move to Colorado. Her family delayed their departure to search for the cat, but they couldn't find their beloved pet and began to fear they would never see her again.

Sunny-Loo shocked her loved ones by ending up in their new Colorado home three weeks after disappearing. When the family unloaded their delayed furniture drop-off from the movers, they discovered the cat trapped in a sofa.

Somehow, Sunny-Loo had managed to survive three weeks wrapped in the couch without food or water.

"Medically, I don't have an answer for how this cat survived that ordeal. It's really remarkable. We don't always get an explanation in cases like this, but I agree with the family. She is a miracle cat," Dr. Erin Dixon, the pet's vet, shared.
