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.
Rufus’ life wasn’t always like this when he was over four years old. The kangaroo was rescued at the age of eight months and ended up at the Patch Kangaroo Sanctuary in Boston, South Australia. Fortunately, in Kym Haywood and her husband Neil, the sanctuary’s administrators, he received all the love and comfort he needed.
Because both the compassionate couple and the rescued kangaroo developed strong bonds, Kym and Neil chose to keep Rufus within their home. He now acts as if he owns the house, or at the very least the sofa.
Rufus loves to spend his days laying on the comfortable sofa, and to cuddle with his dad. But both Neil and Kym, soon realized the sofa might not be big enough for all of them. In fact Rufus wants it all for himself, and for his dad sometimes. Because from time to time he asks him for some belly rubs, and Neil gladly deliver it.
“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!
