Dying cat comforts owners on last trip to vet

A photo of cat holding its owner’s hands while taking a car ride has been shared on the internet. But it’s the story behind the gorgeous image that will break your heart.

abernha3, a user on the popular internet forum Reddit, posted the photograph around a fortnight ago. The image depicts a touching moment between a pet and its owners in the car, but the reason behind the car ride is one that’s less than pleasant.

The cat, named Little Andrew, is actually older and sicker than it looks in the photograph, which was reportedly taken during the ride to the vet on its last day.

In his post on the internet forum Reddit, abernha3 said, “He held our hands on his last trip to the vet. Little Andrew was much stronger than his mom and I.”

Saying goodbye to a pet is one of the hardest things we ever have to do. Do you have a sad story of saying goodbye to a pet that you would like to share?

Please do in the comment.
