Woman Forms Unbreakable Bond with Manchester City Supporting Calf
A remarkable story has emerged from Cheshire, where a woman has revealed she shares her home with a calf that proudly sports Manchester City attire. Tash Thompson, aged 26, has developed an enduring connection with June the calf, who was rejected by her unwell mother shortly after birth last November.
From Farm to Social Media Stardom
June's journey began on the family farm in Shavington, near Crewe, where Tash took on the responsibility of bottle-feeding the newborn three times daily. What started as a routine feeding schedule quickly evolved into an inseparable bond, with June following Tash so closely that she began appearing at the house for meals.
Tash recognized the social media potential of their unique relationship and began uploading footage of their daily adventures to TikTok. The videos, featuring June adorned with bows and fashionable outfits, have captivated audiences worldwide, with some clips amassing millions of views.
Manchester City Blue and Therapeutic Benefits
As a devoted Manchester City supporter, Tash has extended her team loyalty to her bovine companion. For last month's derby match, she kitted June out in sky blue bows and a scarf, creating memorable content that resonated with football fans and animal lovers alike.
Beyond the viral fame, June has provided Tash with significant therapeutic benefits during her nine-year struggle with epilepsy medication. "She's just a bit of therapy for us all," Tash explained. "I've got epilepsy and my medication makes me tired quite a lot of the time. June is good therapy for me - she gets me out of bed as I have something to do."
Accidental Potty Training and Family Support
The calf's integration into domestic life has included some unexpected developments. "I think I potty trained her by accident," Tash revealed. "She used to be quite nervous, but now she strolls around the kitchen island and it's all normal for her. She doesn't go inside the house anymore."
Tash's family, who have been farming for generations, have embraced the unusual situation with enthusiasm. "They've all been really supportive," she said. "They even help me clean up some of the mess sometimes." This mess has become a regular talking point among her growing TikTok following, which now exceeds 21,000 followers.
Bringing Joy to Thousands
The heartwarming content has struck a chord with social media users globally. "People seem to love it," Tash noted. "They message me saying 'you make my day'. If I can just bring some joy to people's lives. I do it for a bit of fun."
Although June has now graduated from bottle feeding, the pair maintain their tight-knit bond. Their antics continue to win admirers, proving that sometimes the most unlikely friendships can create the most uplifting stories.
