This is the touching story of Ralphee, a disabled kitten who has been taken in by Max, an Australian cattle dog, after they formed an unlikely friendship.

Ralphee was born with a neurological disorder known as feline cerebellar hypoplasia (CH) that affected her movement, but that didn’t stop Max from befriending her.

A YouTube video from Wakaleo shows the two hanging out in their backyard, with Max watching on as she demonstrates the ‘drunken sailor’ walk that is synonymous with cats who suffer from CH.

‘Ever since Ralphee was brought home, Max is never far away,’ the video description says.

‘He appears to be forever curious and watches over Ralphee wherever she goes.



‘Ralphee is growing more mischievous by the day and loves to see what Max is doing as well.

‘She will often get excited when he is nearby and leap in the air before playfully charging in his direction.’
