It started with a post on Twitter that lots of people shared. The post had pictures and a video showing a really sad moment of a mommy cat saying goodbye to her baby kitten who died.
The pictures showed the kitten resting in a small hole in the ground, probably dug by the owner, while the mommy cat snuggled next to it.
But the video was even sadder. It showed the mother cat carefully using her paw to cover the grave with dirt.
The truth is, the cat just wanted a safe place to have her kittens. The owner wrote on Twitter:
“This mom cat was pregnant and just needed a safe place to have her babies. Be kind to animals. Don’t hurt or scare them away. If they’re hungry, give them some food. It won’t cost you much.”
As more people saw the post, it made them upset and reminded them to be kind to animals. It showed that animals have feelings too, especially when it comes to taking care of their babies.
But there was a good part to this story too. People from everywhere talked about how little acts of kindness can really help animals.
Saying something nice, giving them food, or just not scaring them away are all ways to show you care. These small things can make a big difference.
Even though this is really sad, it’s good to know there are people who really care about animals. Maybe this story can make us all think about being nicer to the little furry friends we share the world with.
