Orange Cat Proves Animals Grieve Too After Her Hooman Catches Her Pawing At Her Late Doggy Brother's Portrait and Sleeping In His Bed

We all have to face grief eventually, 'tis the circle of life. Even though we all know it is inevitable, it still does not make it any easier. And that goes for animals too—it is not easy to lose a pet. I lost my aunt and grandfather two months apart from each other. We knew it was coming, but I was still heartbroken. However, it was several months after that when tragedy struck and I had to put my dog down. That simply broke me. I couldn't eat for two weeks, I could hardly get back on my feet after that. I still cry when I think about how much I miss her. I will always carry that grief.

As humans, we think we are the only living creature who has the mental capacity for grief, but time and time again animals prove us wrong. There are many instances where animals are found grieving a lost loved one. A video recently going viral on TikTok is one that proves it!

A fur family of two dogs and an orange kitty were growing old together. A house filled with love, the fur siblings were always very close. Now, that they are in their senior years, things are slowing down. One of the dogs got an infection and then cancer and had to be put down. The family was able to get a vet to come to their home to help him cross the rainbow bridge and his fur siblings got to witness that. So they know he has been lied to rest. And now we see them both grieving their loss of a family member.

The video that is truly breaking the hearts of viewers is of the orange cat seeing a portrait of her lost brother for the first time. She stops, stares with wide eyes, then approached it slowly. She gets extra close and just stares at it. She even starts to paw at it at one point. This isn't her first instance of showing that she misses her brother. She has also been sleeping in his bed every night.
