Rufus The Rescued Kangaroo Insists On Daily Couch Cuddles With Dad

[iemanja]

Meet Rufus, a lazy rescue kangaroo who loves nothing more than lounging on the couch, watching TV and cuddling with his adopted dad. Kym Haywood runs the Patch Kangaroo Sanctuary in Boston, South Australia, and says that Rufus took an interested in the family couch the moment he was rescued as a 8 month old ‘joey’ (young kangaroo).

Even now as an adult, he is obsessed with the couch, he even has his very own spot on the couch. Every single evening, Rufus would come through the back door so he can chill out on the couch in front of the TV. When it's time to go to bed, sometimes Kym gets some pushback from Rufus, as he wants nothing more than to stay in his favorite position.

1. Oh for cute...

As we say here in Minnesota.

While in Australia 3 years ago, I was close to kangaroos. Ate a Roo burger at a Cafe even. But the saddest of all was the amount of kangaroo road kill on the way back from Canberra to Sydney via the bus.

8. When my wife and I go to Busch Gardens in Tampa we always feed the Kangaroos.

We get there as soon as the park opens and make a beeline right to the Kangaroo area. They come right up and eat out of your hand. You have to go early though. They start taking naps in the shade when the sun gets hot.

9. So cute! We have a gray cat with big ears & long legs who jumps...

...seriously jumps, she reaches well above the light switches on the wall, & I've always said she's part roo. Seeing Rufus laying around in the same positions as she lays in just proves it for me, our cat is part roo. We have a roocat.

12. That's cute.

My dog jumps too, but probably not as high as your cat.

10. They're not appreciated in their native land

To put it mildly.

I think they're delightful.
