No one could ever say no to some quality time spent sitting on a plush sofa while watching their favorite television show. However, if this is your everyday habit, it may be a little much. That’s how this sluggish kangaroo spends his days. Everyone, meet Rufus, the world’s most spoilt joey.
Now over 4-year-old, Rufus’ life wasn’t always like that. Rescued when he was eight-month-old, the kangaroo ended at the Patch Kangaroo Sanctuary in Boston, South Australia. Fortunately, here he found all the love and comfort he ever needed, in Kym Haywood and her husband Neil – the ones who run the sanctuary.
Both the caring couple and the rescued kangaroo, became extremely attached to each other, so Kym and Neil decided to keep Rufus inside their house. Now, he acts like owns the place, or at least the couch.
Rufus enjoys spending his days lounging on the plush sofa and cuddling with his father. However, Neil and Kym quickly realized that the sofa might not be large enough to accommodate all of them.
Rufus, on the other hand, wants it all for himself and, on occasion, for his father. Because he occasionally begs Neil for belly rubs, which Neil cheerfully does.
“When he first started doing it, we thought it was the sweetest thing ever,” Kym continued, “and we could tell that Rufus was extremely different from the others in terms of how much he liked the sofa and felt secure there.” “He falls asleep quickly because he knows he’ll be secure there, and he doesn’t mind watching a little TV.”
The Haywoods, on the other hand, don’t seem to worry that there’s no more room on the couch for them. The most essential thing for them is to observe if Rufus is content and pleased!
Watch Rufus’ response as his mother tells him it’s time to go to bed!
