Everyone who has a pet will consider their furry friends as part of the family. While they are just part of our lives, we are their whole life. So it’s no surprise that we’ll form a loving bond with them.

The thread continues, with him sharing a video of their cat checking the area of where the kitten was buried.

 

 

“My mother and brother took the kitten for burial and then it went to find the body at the grave.”

 

He then shared another video explaining that his cat actually has other kittens, it’s just that maybe it feels like one or two are missing, which explains why it was searching the house. He also stated that this was the second time it was pregnant, with the first time, unfortunately, resulting in 5 deaths.

Following this unfortunate incident, netizens advised him on what to do to ensure no other further incidents would occur.

“Watch over the mother too. A cat in my area was suspected of committing suicide because there was a witness who said it purposely sat in the middle of the road watch for a car to hit it. No attempt to move. Had to be admitted. A few days before that it’s kitten died being hit by a car.”

 

 

Another netizen kindly shared advice given to her by a vet. She stated that if the cat lost its kitten, owners have to always communicate with it and calm it down. It’s important to be with them and give attention like a human being, because it too can be depressed.”

 

 

Take care of your pets as one of your family members. They too have feelings and can be shaken by incidents such as this. As a community, we must ensure the safety and well-being of all living creatures.
