Jessica Leatherman’s 7-year-old daughter started waiting for the school bus this year when she entered first grade. However, it does not stand alone at the bus stop.
Craig, the family cat, is responsible for ensuring she goes to a safe school.
After seeing the black and white cat at an adoption event in 2019, Leatherman decided to adopt him. Craig had spent eight and a half months in the shelter and fit right in with the family as soon as he arrived.
“He’s a really laid-back guy. Leatherman told The Dodo, “I don’t think there’s anything that can shake him. There might be thunder and lightning, and he wouldn’t even wake up.” “When he wakes up, he looks like a clown. He enjoys knocking items off of counters in order to get you to pay attention to him.”
Craig has a unique relationship with Leatherman’s daughter and he was interested in learning about her new morning ritual. Leatherman decided to unlock the door to let the cat see her daughter on the bus as he started running to the door and meowing every time she was leaving for the bus.
Leatherman explained, “The bus stops directly in front of our house, so I said I would let him go out and hang out with me.” But instead of staying with me, he chose to hang out with my daughter and follow her to the sidewalk and on the street, where she sat all the time she was waiting for the bus. ”
“I said, ‘Are you really doing this?’ “when it happened. And I expected him to come back to me as soon as she got in, but he waited there and made sure she got on the bus before he saw her leave,” she said.
Leatherman stated, “He has done it every day.” “He has promoted himself in this position. I’m not sure why, but it’s really sweet. ”
Craig has become a local celebrity since taking office.
And the cat always waits for Leatherman’s daughter when she gets home from school. Leatherman described them as “two peas in a legume”. “She will sit next to him, and he will lick her and rumble over her. I think she is the most beautiful thing in the world.”
She continued, “If he is awake, he will follow her around the house and lie next to her, almost as if to protect her.”
Craig’s gorgeous cat now has followers all over the world, thanks to the kids who shot him regularly from the bus. Craig, on the other hand, is only worried about spending time with his little favorite person.
Leatherman said, “A lot of people were remarking in the comments to the videos that he just looks like a reincarnated grandfather seeing his little girl at school.” “And this is just him – he’s the grandfather everyone wants.”
