A 10-year old ginger cat has a tiny unlikely friend that chirps… a lot! Not only do they get along very well, but the little feather friend follows his feline buddy around the house. They share an incredible bond.

Meet Bonifazii the cat and Yasha the parakeet!

Yasha the parakeet grew up with Bonifazii. They bonded from day one. The fluffy ginger was so gentle and calming to the playful chirpy friend that he soon became imprinted on him, following him around the apartment.

Every day he talks to the ginger cat, tells him stories and sings him songs.

The ginger boy has taken Yasha under his wing and lets him hop on his back for a ride around the apartment and gently scratch his nose for kisses.

They always play together where the kitty runs and the parakeet flies. Boni makes sure Yasha is always near and Yasha follows him everywhere he goes.

"They have been together for five years," Irina, human mom, told Love Meow. The duo shares a beautiful friendship.

Bonifazii is ten years old now and Yasha is five. The little parakeet chirps happily when he's around his feline friend.
