Video of Stray Cat Comforting A Fallen Friend

Check out this video from Turkey of a stray cat comforting his
fallen friend. Sometimes we forget that even animals can feel
the loss of a loved one. I have known humans who displayed
less emotion over the loss of a friend or relative than this cat
does. On this, the day we celebrate our beloved Mothers, I ask
that you remember to tell your friends that you love them
also. After all, there will come a day when it will be to late.

I watched this, well I actually never got through the whole video before I had to stop because it was so sad.

But I was reminded of the homeless man who came to the rescue of a woman being attacked in New York city a few weeks ago. He was stabbed by the man who was attacking the woman. Both the woman and the attacker took off, but the homeless man ended up laying on the sidewalk for over an hour with people walking by as he bled to death.

Sometimes I think animals have more compassion for others than humans do.

I too, could not watch the entire video. I do know, however, that domestic cats are very loving and affectionate when brought up in a loving and caring home. You will never find a better companion and friend . . . they are truly God’s creatures.

Very sad, poor kitties.

The cat stops occaisonally and looks around, almost as if looking for someone to help or come to the rescue.

Even G*D’s Creation groans because of what sin has done to it. My eyes got all blurry for some reason.

You must admit the accompanying music does not help watch it. I mean, “Bless the Beasts and The Children” It’s begging to make you cry.

This is indeed very moving.
The Scriptures are silent as far as the fate of animals. But since God will resurrect people, He is able to bring animals back if He chooses.
Just my opinion. Since Heaven is a happy place when all tears will be wiped away, I would like to think we will see our pets, happy and whole, as they will be part of the creation that God will redeem some day.

Amen! As a side note, my 12 y/o outside cat had disappeared about two weeks ago, we thought she may have crawled off somewhere to die as she wouldn't come when called and all of her food was not being eaten. However, when I opened the door yesterday morning, her and my 13 y/o dog, who hates every cat but her, were lying down together facing each other and it looked like they were "talking", you could just see the love and concern in my dog's eyes. It was such a sweet sight, it made me cry!

The Scriptures are silent as far as the fate of animals.

Maybe, maybe not. Romans 8:19-21:

19 For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. 20 Against its will, everything on earth was subjected to God's curse. 21 All creation anticipates the day when it will join God's children in glorious freedom from death and decay.

Very sad. Animals do indeed feel the pain of loss and grieve, too.

[Ditter]

If these are feral cats he is probably looking around for his own safety. He would never look for a human to come and help.

I used to have a bunny who would play with one of my cats all the time. One day when I came home, the bunny was dead.

The poor cat looked for the bunny everywhere, for several days. There was no way to tell him his little friend was gone. It was heartbreaking.

[NEWwoman]

Touching dog/cat story, ravingnutter. Sounds like a story for those Chicken Soup for the Animal Lover’s soul.

God created the Earth for the animals, too. As for their eternal fate, that is a mystery. As the saying goes - Father knows best.

At one point we had three dogs that were great together. When the largest male was injured we took him to the vet, but there was nothing they could do and he had to be put down. We brought his body back to the house and laid him out in the yard for a time so that the other two would know what happened. I think it helps them to understand.
