Owning a pet isn’t always about enjoying the animal’s cuteness, training it, teaching it tricks, and keeping it clean and well-fed. The full responsibility of pet ownership requires quite a lot. It comes with risks and consequences, too. Neglecting a pet for instance will result in the animal falling ill or developing certain conditions. There’s also the risk of losing it. Pets do have the tendency to wander off and lose their way.
There’s also the inevitable.
Pet owners, no matter how careful and responsible, still experience heartbreaks involving their furry pals.
Pet parents bid farewell for a number of distressing reasons: animals’ death due to illness or old age, or when it runs away and fails to return home despite the owner’s efforts to trace it.
Losing a pet isn’t just something you can brush off and easily recover from.
What makes the loss difficult is remembering just how much love and loyalty the pet showed. Once you adopt a pet, your life is forever changed. More than the responsibility of giving it a good life, both of you are given the chance to make each other happy and simply be there for each other. That’s why losing a pet leaves such a void in one’s life.
We can only wish pet owners who lose their pets get happy endings like one little girl did.
Meet Claudia.
She loves cats but unfortunately, she lost her beloved pet Cursor three years ago.
Little did she know an incredible surprise was waiting for her.
The grownups started by asking the unsuspecting little girl if she liked cats and her response was just adorable. “Claudia, do you like kitties?” The little girl answered with an enthusiastic, “Yes!” After asking her what kind of cats she liked, they began describing how her pet Calico looked. Her face lit up as she remembered her dear Cursor.
And then, the unthinkable happened.
After playfully asking Claudia (who just finished describing her pet) if her cat looked “like this”, they brought out – you guessed it – Cursor!
The look on Claudia’s face was priceless.
She raised both hands and covered her mouth in surprise as she saw Cursor.
Claudia’s reaction was too precious.
She immediately reached out and took Cursor in her arms. The little girl gave the cat a gentle hug as she tried to process how this all happened.
The overjoyed little girl immediately expressed her gratitude as she continued to hug and nuzzle her cat.
“Thanks for giving my kitty back!”
As she conversed with the grownups who were equally delighted with the reunion, she remembered to “inspect” Cursor, even wondering out loud why the cat’s tail looked a certain way.
You could tell that Claudia and Cursor shared a special, unbreakable bond.
The cat may not have been as expressive but we’re positive it felt right at home again.
The innocence and simplicity of the nature of kids and animals help them create a strong, warm, and loving relationship with each other, just like Claudia and Cursor. Moreover, pet ownership at a young age is a great way to teach children about friendship, responsibility, and respect for animals.
We’re glad Claudia and Cursor are together again.
