There is nothing sadder than having to leave the people and the pets we leave behind.

Cats become members of our family, sometimes even our best friends and our faithful longtime companions.

This is the story of an elderly woman’s last request from her deathbed. According to her grandson Andrea, her last request was to be able to see and hold her fur-baby, Oliver the cat, just one more time.

At the time, she was in a nursing facility and of course, special permission was needed in order for this poor woman to be granted her dying wish.

The nursing facility did, in fact, agree that the cat may be brought to her bedside so that they could say their goodbyes. The cat was clearly sad, as seen by the images below. Clearly, the cat was aware that something was wrong yet refused to give up snuggling.
