00:00 You're such a gentle boy. Yes, you are.
00:02 I quickly realized that he's just a big gentle giant.
00:06 Are you feeling good? You sure look comfortable, Mr. Arnold.
00:10 I saw a plea from the shelter for another kitten.
00:14 You're so sweet.
00:15 It was the cutest thing because Arnold, who's this 18-pound cat,
00:20 was hiding from this little tiny one-pound kitten.
00:23 Here's this kitten who's so confident going up to this big cat.

00:31 It was almost like their personalities should have flip-flopped.
00:34 He was more scared.
00:38 They would play hide and seek and Arnold would try to hide from Dora.
00:42 And Dora was so outgoing and she was just always in his face.
00:45 Slowly after Arnold was used to Dora's personality,
00:51 there was this paternal shift in Arnold.
00:54 What do you think, Arnie?
00:55 What do you think, Arnold?
00:56 [MUSIC]
00:58 You want to smell her? Yeah.
01:00 She's just a little tiny girl.
01:03 [MUSIC]
01:06 Are you cleaning the baby?
01:07 [MUSIC]
01:12 They were always grooming each other and licking each other
01:15 and Dora was always making biscuits on Arnold.
01:18 That was just the cutest thing.
01:20 [MUSIC]
01:26 She had to undergo reconstructive surgery on her eye.
01:29 Arnold, I feel like he just knew.
01:32 He sensed that he needed to recover.
01:34 They had a very special bond and I knew that I needed to do everything I could
01:42 to get them adopted together.
01:44 It was like zero applications and so I almost gave up.
01:48 And then I got an email.
01:50 I got an application.
01:53 She immediately fell in love and she was like, "Let's do this."
01:56 I love you, Arnie.
02:00 Okay, I love you so much, bud.
02:02 I think it was the first time I've ever cried when I've let a foster go.
02:06 But you guys, we're going to stay together, okay?
02:09 You guys get to stay together.
02:11 You get to stay with your baby.
02:14 [MUSIC]
02:22 I love you so much.
02:23 [MUSIC]
02:29 I've stayed in contact.
02:30 She gives me updates.
02:31 [MUSIC]
02:36 Hi, big boy.
02:37 How are you doing?
02:38 [MUSIC]
02:44 And they're still as close as ever.
02:46 [MUSIC]
02:56 (upbeat music)
