Emotional Moment Cat Holds Owners’ Hands During His Last Vet Visit

Life is only a journey, made more enjoyable when shared with a cherished animal. Even though their time with us on that journey was far too brief, there was a bittersweet beauty in being able to meet them towards the conclusion of their trip, such that the only thing they remember of their time on earth was love.

A Reddit user recently posted the heartwarming image online, telling how the sick animal appeared to understand their grief and soothe them even on that depressing drive to put an end to his suffering.

“On his final visit to the veterinarian, he clutched our hands. The younger Andrew was stronger than his mother and I “wrote abernha3. “He was 15 and a half years old and adored everyone, but over the past year, he simply became old and sick. Every day of his life, he purred, so when he stopped, I knew it was time. A friend’s passing is always tragic.”

Andrew never had the chance to meet us while he was alive, but we can learn something from witnessing his final moments: losing a pet will never outweigh the privilege of having known them <3
