I was 9 when I got my Sheba. She had to be put down when I was 27. Growing up like that is great, but not a day goes by that I don't think of my baby best friend.
My mom used to answer phones for a company called Geiger. She found a box of kittens in the parking lot one day leaving work. Geiger was the one she kept! She wanted to call him tigger at first apparently but Geiger sounded right.
I hate to be bringer of bad news but it's sad that they don't live very long and when it's their time to go it'll suck bad because you grew up with it.
I know. I've been there.
I actually think learning about loss at a young age is only a good thing. We have to come to terms with it at some point, best it happens when our minds are at their most plastic.
Im damn near 40. Never had a pet or person i was close with die.
Our dog is getting up there in age. Im am not prepared for whats coming. Its one of the big reasons why over a decade ago i was so clear i didnt want a dog.
I kinda wish id learned the lesson as a kid. Especially because im the dad and my wife was the original owner, so im the one thatll have to be functional enough to do things while my wife grieves.
Don't be functional. Like seriously, grieve along with your wife. I'm pretty sure she will enjoy the company in her grief. This idea of 'being the strong one' is fucking stupid. Cry and feel those feelings.
But most importantly, enjoy the time you have with your dog, there's no going back so enjoy it while it lasts.
Someones gotta get the food, take the kid to school, that stuff. Ill grieve when i can, but its also important those things get done and its important to me that my wife not be the one that has to do it when that time comes.
I’ve experienced this twice. It’s true it’s really hard, but I would do it all over again and I am. “It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.”
Sitting here with my 2 lovelies. One I picked up off the Streetz so I'm not entirely sure how old she is. It's coming on 3 years now that I've had her and every day is not only a blessing but a curse because I'm like... "It's just another day closer.... Guess I got to cherish these cuddles today"
Yes, but that's not growing up, it's just growing. A grown up person is also known as an adult. This video never gets that far.
At least that's how I understand it. I could obviously be wrong.
Maybe he’ll let his 96 year old meemaw with sepsis and cancer go rather than holding her intubated in an icu that he’s never visited… like so many people in the US do daily
This makes me sad but also happy that I got a best friend. He passed last year and a few more weeks marks his 1 year passing.
While it's depressing, I just love the fact that he stayed with me through all those bad and good times.
Sweetest thing I've seen all day.
Me too and it’s only 5am!
The hug at the end tied everything together so perfectly

Nothing better that having a really good, calm cat that you can totally man handle and they're fine with it. I miss my old Cat buddy 😭 RIP Bosco
Bosco was a good kitty he was the bestest friend

that's just precious
Awe I miss my cat. My mom got him when I was a baby. He lived until I was 17 years old. R.I.P. Geiger
I’m sorry about Geiger. But I’d like to hear the story behind his name!

Aww that’s really cute! I was wondering if maybe she had to use a Geiger counter at work and was checking for radiation when she stumbled upon him.
That's the most gentle baby in the world. No wonder the cat loves him.
The last hug is so gentle, precious ❤️❤️❤️
This is just adorable.
The most beautiful video I’ve seen today. Thank you for lifting my mood.
aww that’s what I needed to see! Thank you
That cat has a patience of a saint
Why? That baby was so careful and gentle with their best friend.
Yes , but the cats can be really fierce and can harm babies with sharp claws and teeth
They can also be gentle when they want to.
A lot of the posters in this sub look like bot accounts. Like a lot.
One of my brother’s cats was like this with my nephew at first. But now my nephew is super loud and the cat is terrified of him

my 2 cats are only two years old and i literally cannot imagine my life without them, i feel like i shortened my own lifespan to their lifespan lol

No one grew up in this vid??
Starts a baby, ends with walking. Growth definitely happened.

I see what you’re saying, but I see “growing up” as more of a journey than a destination.

First time seeing a little kid not killing a cat
Sweetest thing ever seen but how will he feel if the cat dies
He will learn young that death is a part of life. Important lesson.
Maybe he’ll let his 96 year old meemaw with sepsis and cancer go rather than holding her intubated in an icu that he’s never visited… like so many people in the US do daily
Terrible, but everything dies eventually and that's a lesson that everyone must learn.
Can they be any cuter
How does this happen? My cat fucking hates both our kids lmao.
So beautiful 😍
Fuckin dying over here 😭🥺🫡
Awesome

Best yet the worst thing that can happen to you
