Fukumaru, a stray kitten saved by a Japanese grandma

Fukumaru touched the hearts of many people around the world for his very special relationship with his owner, a Japanese old lady known as Grandma Misao.

Fukumaru and grandmother Misao became famous worldwide for their special bond.

Both the cat and the old lady had hearing problems, which caused the two of them to develop an even more special bond.

The love and companionship they shared was brillantly captured by photographer Miyoko who is also Misao’s granddaughter.

Fukumaru was born and rescued in 2003, and according to Grandma Misao, she named the cat after the God of Fortune (Fuku), a god that will take care of things and make everything smooth in the full circle (maru) of life.
