Humans are emotional beings, and those who spend a lot of time with their pets naturally develop deep feelings for them. Therefore, it's natural to feel sadness and reluctance when a pet is about to pass away. Children are the same; although they don't understand much yet, they also know about separation and can feel the sadness of parting. A particularly touching video went viral on American social media, showing a little girl saying goodbye to her cat.
In the video, an exceptionally cute little girl is gently cradling a dying orange cat, singing softly as she bids a final farewell. The cat in the little girl's arms is 14 years old. As everyone knows, a cat's year is equivalent to many human years, so living to 14 is no small feat. The cat is old; its bodily functions are declining, and it can only lie down, lacking even the strength to stand, appearing very weak.
The little girl held the cat, gently stroking it. In the cat's final moments, the little girl said goodbye to the cat with a song, singing "You Are My Sunshine." Her clear, childlike voice, though lacking in technique, was incredibly moving: "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine... Bailey, you don't know how much I love you..."
As the little girl sang, she gently kissed the cat's head to express her reluctance to leave. The cat, knowing its time was coming to an end and sensing its owner's sadness, also didn't want to leave, its eyes filled with tears.
Three hours later, the cat passed away peacefully, surrounded by its loving family. The little girl had stayed by the cat's side the entire time. The girl's mother filmed the scene and posted it online, touching millions of viewers.
In life, we experience many partings, and pet owners will all go through this. Everyone should adjust their mood and not be too sad.
