The Rufus Tower: Man Apologizes to Cat, Builds Him Cardboard Box Castle

It takes a big man to say he's sorry, and a big heart to do such a sweet job of showing it.

Rufus had an ear infection and needed drops daily to treat it. He began to run from his daddy whenever he saw him, scared that more drops were coming.

When his treatment was all done and his infection was all gone, his dad wanted to do something special to make it up to him, so he decided to build him a huge cardboard box playhouse.

Here's the making of The Rufus Tower, a cardboard castle truly built of love.


Big thanks to fab Cuteheads, Lauren, Jennifer and Salina from Nip and Bones/a>, for sharing this wonderful Rufus Tower video with me!

    1. That's because there are so many awful things going on in the world currently. This sweet man felt so bad about administering those drops to his friend, he built him a castle!! There are still wonderful people in this world - and thank goodness.
